Bittersweet Margaret Skirt | Premium Crochet Patterns

This easy crochet skirt pattern is written to be fully size inclusive, available in 9 different Adult sizes - XS through to 5XL. The size chart below details the sizing and the yarn required for each size too.

The skirt is inspired by the summer fashions worn by Princess Margaret in the 1950's where full circle skirts were all the rage!

This skirt is is designed to give the impression of a full skirt without the bulk around your hips. The pleats create a flattering decrease in from the hips and the optional waistband can cinch in your silhouette even more.

The pattern works up quickly with the easy pattern repeat and shows the rows needed for 3 different lengths - petit, regular and tall.
