crochet shell skirt tutorial | how to crochet a skirt | crochet maxi skirt perfect for summer! 🌞♡

[@briannasipp]

If you need help doing row 3 and beyond, here’s a tutorial I used to learn the stitch: kzbin.info/www/bejne/Z5CYoXt4mLubq7csi=_yobw8npqBfxAXOz Also, I am doing an extended double crochet/ UK double crochet in this video instead of the US double crochet like intended- either one works though. This is a really old video so my newer videos don’t have this problem! :) Sorry for the confusion 💓

I made this skirt is amazing tysm🫶🏻

I'm glad I read the comments. Because I found all my answers there. Thanks for sharing this cute skirt pattern

[@CuddleCrafts-rh8un]

I actually just bought two skeins of lion brand mandala yarn to do something on my trip and this is perfect 💖

[@juliamoore2882]

You are doing an extended dc not a normal dc. An extended dc is yarn over pull thru 1 loop then complete as a dc with the last 3 loops on the hook. A dc is a yarn over pull thru 2 loops, yarn over pull through last 2 loops. There are a lot of beginner crocheter that may not know this. Beautiful skirt.

[@briannasipp]

Yes another comment on this video pointed this out to me! I corrected the term in my future videos. Thank you so much

[@marcusjr2000]

So is the correct stitch a dc or an extended double crochet?

[@tipstricks7594]

Ah! I should have read the comments before commenting. I was wondering if there was another name for the DC she was doing.

Thank you sooo much for this tutorial. I've finally finished making my skirt and it looks great!🥰

[@linahan5422]

This is beautiful. Never thought of using mandala yarn for this. Have u thought of working this in a continuous circle so that u don’t have to have the unsightly seam? Like literally just at the end of the chain just attach it with a slip not to the beginning then u can work the skirt going around a circle and still add the pull string to the top. Since it’s just an easy stitch being repeated you can literally just work this in a circle and skip all the other stuff. So much simpler and no seams!

[@Charlie-um7eb]

Would you do the extra 2 chains before or after the slipknot?

[@lexxb4]

@@Charlie-um7eb do one extra stitch and then chain one after the slip stitch. So still two extra but one before and one after.

[@Lilhippiema]

Did you do this in a circle successfully? ? I bought yarn to make this for my granddaughter , Mandala Ombre, but she does not like the color. Ih ave so much yarn in this house. Have you ever used a different yarn successfully for this skirt> I don''t want to make it and have the yarn make it a failure LOL

[@yanybanany]

i tried this and without tht unsightly seam, my project was all messed up. its a very long chain so it kept turning and it was impossible to straighten it as i crochet. i had to frog 2-3 hrs of work. next time dont suggest something if ur not going to help explain all the way through.

[@aleksandrapetrov3827]

@@yanybanany there is a simple way to do a circle and the chain is never twisted. On KZbin look for "do not twist chain" or "keep crochet chain from twisting". It works great

So beautiful!! Could you add the length of the yarn you used? I mean, different balls have different lengths. I would say giving information about the weigh and the length would be more helpful than mentioning the amount of balls. I can’t wait to start…. But I need to finish my scarf… And there is still time left till summer….

[@tipstricks7594]

Beautiful skirt and beautiful work! That doesn’t look like a traditional DC. I thought you were using UK term at first…But looked close and noticed you only yarned over once when you went into your stitch but then yarned over three times when you were pulling through your loops on your hook. Usually a double crochet is pulled through with twice not 3 times. Anyway, interesting. I’m just wondering if maybe there is a different name for this type of double crochet stitch?

[@Aleks25900]

It's an extended double crochet. Yarn over, pull up a loop , yarn over pull through first loop. Yarn over pull through 2. Yarn over pull through 2.

Please explain how to start row 3

[@mihawksanklebiter]

How are you supposed to start row 3 if every dc goes in the single crochet?

[@julietacalleros1587]

I have no idea how to start row 3. I wish she could’ve sampled at least 4 rows to really get the hang out it I’m confused

[@sarahnyenke2687]

to start row 3, you need to chain one after doing the 3 dc in the last stitch. Turn you work and do a single crochet in that same stitch and then continue the pattern: skip 2, 5dc in the third stitch, skip 2 and a single crochet in the third stitch

[@thatnaijbabe]

Hey I’m soo sorry, please what do you mean by multiples of 6 +2 for the chain stitch? Is it like how I’m counting the chains?

[@briannasipp]

Hey!! So that just means your starting chain has to be a multiple of six. For example 6x5 = 30 so 30 is a multiple of 6

[@thatnaijbabe]

@@briannasipp thank you soo much. I get now

[@chynyawhyte9616]

For row 3 where should I put the 1sc?

[@briannasipp]

You place it in the first and last stitches of the row if that makes sense! So for the beginning of row 3, you'll chain up 1 and turn your work. Place 1 sc in that same stitch you just ch up 1 from, skip 2 stitches, then place 5 dc in the next stitch and continue with the pattern in the video!

[@bnjay]

Thanks because I was so confused

[@Isabellaa-ms5dk]

if i accidentally made the waist part too small, is it possible to attach it so that the stripes r vertical instead of horizontal?

[@cythcy]

You are quite talented and thanks for sharing. But I cannot help but noticed you make “3” movement when making your DC as if it’s a triple crochet stitch. Interesting 🤔

[@briannasipp]

Thank you so much! And you’re so right I’ve been doing it like that for years, I taught myself how to crochet in elementary school so I guess I made up some stitches haha but doing the double crochet correctly will still come out pretty much the same!

Since this is measurement based, you can use any yarn. A weight 3 cotton yarn would probably work great for this.

Hi, I just wanted to let you know that you either did 112 stitches which isn’t a multiple of 6, then added 2 to make 114. Or you did 114 stitches (which is a multiple of 6) and didn’t add the extra 2 stitches at the end. I hope that helps

That means your foundation chain should be like 36 or 60 for example, it has to be divisible by 6

[@michellenash6802]

So, I just found you...you’re cute as a button! See to have a super sweet disposition... I’m sub’d to prob every crochet channel that’s doing tutorial on YT lol. If you don’t mind some critique to help you improve your channel so it’ll grow...if so, keep reading, if not, skip on past. I’m guessing that you are using a phone to record this...I would if I were you and wanted to perfect my vids to grow your channel, I would invest in a good camera/mic setup. That’ll include a stand, good background, and super bright lighting. Now I know that’s some money, so like I said - eventually. Buy things as you can. I’ll also suggest a white and a black background. That way depending on the yarn your using it’ll show up well. You can get a flat sheet and a ‘science fair’ style poster to lay sheet over as a cheap, yet great background. Zoom in really close so it’s easy to see where what you’re doing with your stitches. Not sure if you have any crochet stitch books. There’s like a ton on Amazon. I’d get one and start reviewing the stitches. Let your audience know that you are using American terms, as ‘English’ (as in England) use different terms. The stitch you are using here at the beginning of your vid, is called a ‘herringbone double crochet’. A normal dc is - yo, insert hook into stitch, yo pull out of stitch, yo pull through 2 loops, yo pull through last 2 loops. You were instead doing the herringbone st, which is - yo, insert hook into st, yo pull out of st and pull through first loop on hook, yo pull through 2 loops, yo pull through last 2 loops. Jsyk. You want to zoom in really close so that ppl can easily follow what you are doing. It’s esp needed for newbies learning, *(which the comeback of this craft is due to yt’ers doing these tutorials). Everyone learns differently, so you may be able to teach so that some will learn better with you than another channel. Some great channels to checkout are Hooked by Robin; Bag O Day crochet; the Crochet Crowd; MJs off the hook designs; Daisy Farm Craft...just to name a few great ones. Watch how they record/teach. Great to learn from these long time veterans. I wish you all the luck! I know it’s hard getting started. Do it bc you love it! It’s a great way to preserve what you’ve made and how it looks. It’ll take a good while to grow, but be patient and you’ll get there! Good luck! Now I’m off to watch your other vids!
