Crochet: Ruffled Skirt


I just now got around to making this little ruffled crochet skirt for Audrey to go with the lavender cardi I made her this summer. It turned out pretty cute! Audrey was excited about it, which of course totally makes it for me!



She said, "Mom, it's like your skirt," when I was showing her how the drawstring works. She's referring to this vintage looking crochet skirt I made a few years ago. I love it when she likes things of mine or things I make--I feel it may be a time-limited state of mind for her so I'm making the most of it!


The skirt came together pretty quickly, which is a prerequisite these days. I used this pattern from Sandy's Cape Cod Originals and Lily Sugar n' Cream yarn in Warm Brown. I seriously have about a drawer full of Sugar n' Cream yarn with everything I have been crocheting with it this summer and more hats planned for the Fall. At least I've got less of the brown stashed now.


I never quite know how it's going to go trying to get pictures of Audrey but I always know it will be quick! She likes to goof off and run away most of the time but I still managed to get some cute shots.

 

Boo!

    When I see things like this, I am convinced I need to learn to crochet. That skirt is killing me with cuteness.

    So cute! Probably a little more ambitious of a project that I'd take on for my 3 yr old but I'd consider doing something like that in a newborn size... hmmmm...

    Oh. my. goodness. I LOVE it! I just made my daughter a "skirt" from a random crocheted block I found in a bag of hand-me-down yarn from my grandmother. It isn't as cute as this though! :)

    This is vintage gorgeous and brings back so many memories. I had a burgundy one in the 70s, and wore it everywhere. You have a beautiful model!

    It turned out lovely. Both the skirt and the sweater fit perfectly together. Your daughter knows her fashion - very nice of her to notice your skirt and compare them. :)

    Hi, can you send me a picture to what the ruffles look like in the very back where they meet from row to row? I just started mine this weekend and I am curious to see what yours looked like compared to mine. THanks! luvbncarlysmom@aol.com
