Crochet Rastafarian Cover Up Skirt
Material:
- Red yarn
- Gold (yellow) yarn
- Green yarn
- Black yarn
- Crochet hook
- Scissors
- Yarn needle
- Measuring tape
- Beads (optional)
Starting Chain:
- Make a slip knot to start your crochet project.
- Create a foundation chain in multiples of four. For a size small to medium, chain 124. (For a larger size, consider chaining 132 or adjust according to your desired measurements).
- After completing your desired number of chains, add one more chain.
Row 1:
- Skip three chains and in the fourth chain, make a double crochet (Note: the skipped chains count as your first double crochet).
- In the next chain, place another double crochet.
- Chain one, skip one chain, and in the next, make a double crochet.
- Continue this pattern (three double crochets, chain one, skip one) till the end of the row.
- Join to form a circle but ensure your work is not twisted. Slip stitch on top of the initial chain three to join.
Row 2 (Similar to Row 1):
- Chain three (counts as your first double crochet). Continue the pattern from Row 1, placing three double crochets, chain one, skip one.
Color Changing and Adding Texture:
- After completing two rows, change yarn color (example: to yellow).
- Start the row by chaining three, then skip next two stitches and double crochet in the third stitch.
- Incorporate an outstanding double crochet stitch by picking it from the previous chain one spaces, combining both.
- Continue the pattern of double crochet, chain one, skip one stitch till the end of the row.
Row 4 (Spike Row):
- Begin with chain four (this counts as a double crochet and chain one).
- Place three double crochets on top of the previous row's double crochets, chain one, and repeat till the end.
- Repeat the pattern from rows 3 and 4 for the desired skirt length, changing colors every two rows.
Finishing Touches:
- Once you reach your desired length (e.g., nine rows or 18 if counting each color change as a row), fasten off your work.
- Weave in all loose ends.
- Determine the placement for the lace-up feature and make a long strand by chaining (e.g., chain 60 in red, 100 in black, and another 60 in red for a decorative waist tie).
- Weave the strand through the work for the lace-up detail, adjusting based on whether you want it in the center or off to the side.
Optional Bead Attachment:
- Thread beads onto a yarn using a needle. You can choose any pattern of colors or bead sizes.
- Securely tie the beads at the bottom of the skirt for added decoration.
