Pattern Description:
The C-2-Shining-C Skirt Crochet Pattern is a unique take on corner-2-corner crochet! Using hdc, dc and tr squares, you can make the skirt fitted at the waist, larger around the rear and with a flare around the bottom! The skirt is worked corner to corner, crocheted around the bottom edge, seamed together at the side with an exterior stitch, and then crocheted around the top edge. The skirt is worked diagonally, beginning with hdc squares. The top band of the skirt is created with the hdc squares. The middle of the skirt consists of dc squares. The bottom flare is created with tr squares.
The lacing is attached to the skirt at the side; it is not a separate piece. (This allows an opening for the skirt to be pulled up over the rear and then closed with lacing.) Another feature (optional) is the fun gathered chain/slip stitching at the bottom corner of the skirt.

The skirt may be made with size 3 or 4 weight yarn. I used both Red Heart Ombre (worsted) and Comfy Cotton Blend . However, the directions are written for Comfy Cotton Blend with adjustment instructions if someone wants to make it with a true size 3 or 4 yarn.

The skirt is written for size 12-18 mos to ANY adult size (4 women’s lengths to choose from).
