Introduction to the Pattern
In this tutorial, we focus on a zigzag pattern, utilizing three colors: blue, gray, and pink. However, you can customize the color scheme to your liking. This pattern is specifically designed for babies aged 1-3 years, providing both a stylish and comfortable fit.
Materials and Preparation
To begin, you’ll need baby wool with Himalayan anti-pilling features and a 3 mm crochet hook. Specifically, start by making 90 chains, which will form the waistband of the skirt. The length of the chain should be around 40 cm, suitable for a 1-3-year-old, but you can adjust this according to the baby’s waist size.
Crafting the Waistband
The waistband is the foundation of the skirt. Start with a 40 cm chain, then add 3 more chains. Proceed with a double crochet into the marked point and continue double crocheting to the end of the row. Remember to leave excess rope when starting the first chain. The waistband consists of 4 rows in total, with scroll stitches at the top of each chain.
Developing the Skirt Body
After completing the waistband, the main body of the skirt begins. This section involves a series of double crochets and chain spaces to create the zigzag pattern. For instance, after the initial scroll stitch, work 3 chains and double crochet in the same space, followed by 2 chains and 2 double crochets in the same space. Continue this pattern, alternating between skipping spaces and creating double crochets.
Final Touches
Once the desired length of the skirt is achieved, finish with a series of single crochets to create a neat edge. You can further personalize the skirt with decorations like a satin blue ribbon on the belt.
