Meadowsweet Skirt is inspired by the vintage doily motive, resembling Meadowsweet flower stems, that decorate the hem of the skirt. Drawstring belt is made using a crochet cord technique and features large tassels. Optional lining can be added to give this garment a professional finish.

The body of the skirt is worked in a simple eyelet pattern. The lace border is done over 16 rounds, with only basic crochet stitches: chain, single crochet, and double crochet (US terms.) Using a larger hook for this project, gives extra drape to the finished garment, and makes it a fast project that can be done in just a few days.

I have made this skirt with 2 stands of crochet thread #10, but you can also use a single strand of fingering or sport weight yarn.

I have also included photo tutorial on sewing the lining for the skirt,
