Pattern Corrections & Tips
Pattern Corrections
- Ensure each round is closed with a sl st.
- Always work dc over dc and into spaces as described for even patterning.
- Adjust rounds/repeats to personal size as needed.
Tips
- Swatch your square motif to ensure proper sizing before creating all squares.
- Use a larger hook size for more drape, a smaller hook for a denser or more fitted skirt.
- Try on as you go for best fit, especially at the hip area.
- For a professional finish, block your skirt before adding lining/drawstring.
