General Information

This tutorial is aimed at intermediate crocheters.
The creator uses a 4.5mm hook and acrylic yarn.

Skirt

Ribbing

Measure your waist and hips.
Chain 13 with gray yarn.
Half double crochet (hdc) in the second chain from the hook and across (12 stitches).
Chain 1, turn, and hdc in the back loop only. Repeat until the ribbing reaches your waist measurement (slightly smaller for a tight fit).
Slip stitch the two sides together to close.

Purple Section

Mark the sides of the ribbing to indicate where increases will begin.
Attach purple yarn and hdc in each row of the ribbing.
Increase (2 hdc in one stitch) at each stitch marker.
Repeat increases every row until the skirt reaches your hip measurement.
Continue with regular hdc rows until the skirt reaches the desired length.

Circles

Create two circles (one slightly larger than the other) and sew them together, then sew them onto the skirt.

Top

Panels

Measure from armpit to armpit, armpit depth, and shoulder to armpit.
Chain the length of your armpit to armpit measurement with purple yarn.
Hdc in each chain across. Repeat rows until the panel reaches from your armpit to the desired length.
Slip stitch across the number of stitches for your armpit depth.
Continue hdc rows, leaving the same number of stitches unworked at the end.
Hdc for a few rows to create the neckline.

Straps

Chain and hdc to create the desired strap width.
Continue hdc rows until the strap reaches your shoulder to armpit measurement.
Repeat for the other strap.

Assembly

Slip stitch the front and back panels together.

Trim

Add a gray single crochet trim to the bottom of the top.

Collar

Chain a length that fits over your head with gray yarn, and join to form a circle.
Double crochet (dc) in each chain around.
Mark four points for increases.
Increase at each marked point by doing one dc, chain one, and one dc all in the same stitch.

Repeat the increase rows three times.

Switch to black yarn and single crochet (sc) one row, increasing as before.
Switch back to gray and dc three rows, increasing as before.
Switch to black for a final row of sc with increases.
Create a gray circle and a slightly smaller green circle and sew the green circle on top of the gray circle.
Sew the combined circles onto the collar.

Arm Cuffs

Chain 20 with gray yarn.
Hdc in each chain (19 stitches), chain 1, turn.
Hdc in the back loop only until the cuff fits your wrist.
Create a triangle shape at the top by doing some stitches across and then decreasing on both sides until you reach a tip.
Attach a small circle to the top of the triangle.
