hope you have fun working on this project

@simjay615 Год назад

Hi! I’m working on this with a friend but whenever we do the first and second round, the skirt is really ruffled and thick and poofy! We’re using the same needle and yarn, so I’m not sure what we’re doing wrong.

@michellenia Год назад

@@simjay615 hi!! I'm not sure you're doing anything wrong. After working the first increase round the skirt should be looking more ruffled and poofy! Are you making sure to only do 2 increase rounds like in the video? let me know if I can help more!!

@michellenia Год назад

If you want it to be less fluffy in the beginning you could work a few plain rounds of single crochet or double crochet and then start doing a few increase rounds later on so the ruffled/fluffy look is more towards the bottom of the skirt instead of in the beginning !

@silvermisstt 10 месяцев назад

Hi!! I'm almost over with the skirt but I realize it's too loose on the waist, do you know a way to fix it?? :(

@zoerose3478 10 месяцев назад

@@silvermisstt you could add a drawstring to the waistband by making a cord and weaving it under and over the waistband and making it tie in the front like a belt. I'm not sure how it would look as it might make it bunch up depending how loose it is, but if it's not too loose it will look amazing and u can make it in whatever color you want for a cute lil bow in the front

Round 2 of the Body, 2 dc in each stitch makes it much too wavy for my taste. I tried to correct it, but it's too funny looking, taking it back to round 1 of the body and see if I can do better. Thank you for the idea of the waistband, I think that will be perfect. I wear skorts exclusively, wanted to crochet my own skirts.

@Hannah-ir8vr 16 дней назад

Hey so if i didnt want the skirt ruffled fluffy (like more straight down if that makes sense?) Could i follow the pattern just skip all the rows with 2 dc in each stitch? I hope that makes sense and thanks for the grat tutorial!

The waistband requires how much yarn is 25 g alright?

Ahhh i love thiss❤❤btw cab anyone give suggestions on how to style this

@crochetbyamya Год назад

so pretty!! do you have any tips for using cotton with this pattern ? or would it be the same

@michellenia Год назад

hi! the only thing with cotton is it tends to be a little stiff so I'd worry that it wouldn't have the same stretch when it comes to the waistband which is important so the skirt can fit over the legs and onto the waist I'd maybe suggest not using cotton for the waistband section but instead wool or acrylic and then moving to cotton for the actually skirt portion, hope that makes sense and good luck!

@Knottyautumn 2 месяца назад

When using fine or lace yarn to make the skirt like , you showed at 0:02 did you double up on the lace yarn to make it not see-through?

@michellenia 2 месяца назад

I used two strands of lace yarn :) it still is a bit see through so three strands may be best!

@Paola-yc2ou 11 месяцев назад

Hii! thank you for the tutorial!! i’m making it but i’ve made 8 rounds and it’s still very very short 😢 how could i make it longer? should i just do more rounds of dc?

@michellenia 11 месяцев назад

hi! yes! continue to work more rounds until it's the length you prefer! You can also do more increase rounds if you want to add more fullness to the skirt

I don't have a bigger needle than the one I'm using but I'll try, will it make much of a difference?

You can use whatever needle size and yarn you'd like! As long as you make the waistband long enough that it fits around your waist and then follow the instructions the same! good luck 🤍

@Kelsey-kam23 10 месяцев назад

How do you get waistbands to stay tight or wearable

@michellenia 10 месяцев назад

When using the correct yarn and measurements it should fit snuggly around the waist while still having a little stretch. If you want it to be more tight/adjustable I'd recommend making a long chain or weaving in a cord/ribbon to the waistband and using that as your drawstring !

@thatramdomguyidk-4000 10 месяцев назад

@vinorabe5519 9 месяцев назад

why you turn your work after each row of the skirt portion instead of doing it in the round? is it for a specific look?

@michellenia 9 месяцев назад

to keep the seam even!

@kathbiney6026 9 месяцев назад

hello! i love this tutorial and want to make the same skirt!! i’m just curious if the hook sizes in the tutorial are different to the uk ones? or are they universal? should i also get a 6 and 10mm hook in the uk? i’m a beginner ❤️❤️

@michellenia 9 месяцев назад

hello! I believe that 6mm US needles convert to a UK 4 needle, and 10mm converts to a UK 000. I found that info by looking at a needle conversion chart for US and UK needles! It might also be helpful to look into getting a knitting needle measuring tool as that will help you figure out the correct needle size. Hope this is helpful :)

@kathbiney6026 9 месяцев назад

@@michelleniayes thank you soo much!!

@satella505 4 месяца назад

should you keep alternating between two double crotches in one stitch and regular double rounds? or keep with the two double in each stitch after round 4 to make it really fluffy?

How long did it take for you to finish the skirt?

about 2 days working on and off!

@raziburnett8661 9 месяцев назад

I have a question if I wanted to make it longer could I just repeat the steps?

@michellenia 9 месяцев назад

yes just continue doing plain rounds (no increases) until the skirt is as long as you want :) you could add some more increase rounds if you want a fluffier/fuller skirt, just kinda depends on the look you're going for. Hope that's helpful!

@aliensyd9346 11 месяцев назад

Hello! I have a question (: i made the waist band and i connected it , and the waist band is stretchy so it gets on and off, but then i worked on the 1st and 2nd rows and bc those aren’t stretchy now the skirt one get on past my thighs )-: is there something I’m doin wrong or a way to fix this when i remake it?🥺

@Faoladh_ 11 месяцев назад

Hey! I'm just a beginner, but I've had the same problem and I think it's because you probably did some rows tighter and they got looser as you went/the other way around

@michellenia 11 месяцев назад

hello! like the other poster said it's possible you accidently made some rows with a tigher guage, I tried to keep my gauge pretty loose throughout. Another option is that you could start making the increases right away and skip the plain rows. You could even add more increase rows at the beginning to get a fluffier skirt creating more room. Hopefully this makes sense

@soostark3719 11 месяцев назад

Can you keep going round in the same direction after you’ve joined with the skip stitch and done the chain 3 , or is it necessary that you do turn in the opposite direction then work in that way .? Also your chain 3 ‘s at the beginning of each round , are you not counting these as an actual stitch ? Thank you x

@emilyyyyyyy6778 8 месяцев назад

i don’t think you need to keep turning the skirt as long as you’re stitches face the outside of the skirt! (whichever side you’re doing stitches on will look the best) and the chain threes do count as a stitch!

@Ann-io8ye 10 месяцев назад
