Free Adjustable Seashell Skirt pattern

Well, it finally happened.  After years of debating, and 4 crochet patterns later, I made a skirt.  I've started crocheting a skirt multiple times, but was never satisfied with the outcome.  It was too boxy, not girly enough, not lacy enough, etc. etc.  So I created my own pattern.

This pattern is not for the faint of heart, and this is the first time I've tried to make a pattern that fits everyone (written pattern is for size 8).  So I've either succeeded or failed miserably.  But this is an untested pattern, so proceed at your own risk 😊


**As always, I wrote this pattern, so please don't sell the pattern or the final product.

- I hook

    It meant treble crochet, but I’ve since made the changes to reflect the correct abbreviation of TR. thank you for bringing it to my attention 🙂

Flower thong pattern...FINALLY!

Here is the long awaited pattern for the flower thong. I did use a smaller hook than what I had used on the purple undies, but I similarly used crochet size 10 thread. Flower Thong Pattern: **Pattern is worked starting with the string, then the body of the thong, then the ties. sh= shell= 3 dc in one st **NOTE: I made this pattern to fit me...I wear about a 6 size undies. If you wear bigger or smaller, you will need to adjust the ties accordingly. I also made the ties so they could be just double knotted, not tied in bows, so if that's what you're looking for, you would need to add more as well. Also this pattern is for personal use only, please do not sell the pattern or the undies, as I am giving it to you for free and it took several hours to write it down. Don’t hesitate to ask questions and please let me know if I need to tweak the pattern. Thanks, and enjoy!** Ch 60, sc in 2nd from hook and in each ch. When you get to end ch, 5 sc & “go around corner”. Sc in ea
