Directions

Ch 60. Sl st to the first ch to create a ring.

Row 1. hdc in each ch around. (60 hdc)

Row 2. *fpdc in the next 2 sts, bpdc in the next 2 sts. Repeat from * around. (60 sts)

Row 3. Repeat row 2.

Row 4. *work a sc in the front loop and a sc in the back loop in the next st. Repeat from * in each st around. (120 sc)

Row 5-23. sc in each st around. (120 sc)

You can adjust the length of the skirt by adding or decreasing rows.

Sl st to the next st. Fasten off. Weave in ends.

Create a slip knot and pick up the chain stitch located at the top back center of the skirt (at the waist) and create a slip stitch border around the waist of the skirt.

Sl st to the next st. Fasten off. Weave in ends.

Cut 3 strands of yarn about 40″ long. Tie a knot in the top and braid the strands together. Tie a knot at the bottom of the braid to secure. Weave the braided strand under the front post stitches around the waist and tie in a bow in front. I used a slightly larger hook to pull the braided strand through. Retie the knots if necessary to adjust the length of the strands and trim to desired length.
