0:00Hi guys, welcome or welcome back to my
0:02channel. I am so excited to get into the
0:04tutorial today because it is one of, if
0:08not my favorite pattern I have ever
0:10designed. It is this asymmetrical hem
0:13skirt that looks like it belongs in a
0:15fair's wardrobe. Another thing I really
0:18love about it is that it is easily
0:19customizable to fit any size at all. So
0:21no matter what size you are, you can
0:23make and fit the skirt. But before we
0:25get into the tutorial, I want to share
0:27something a little bit different with
0:28you guys today. A mobile game that
0:30really caught my attention. It is called
0:32My Lovely Planet. It is so fun. It's
0:35kind of like Candy Crush, but with a
0:37twist. Every level that you win helps
0:40plant real trees in the real world. Yes,
0:43actual trees planted through real
0:45partners. They've already planted over
0:48370,000 trees in places like Madagascar,
0:52Kenya, and France. How simple. The game
0:55makes money through inapp purchases just
0:57like any other game, but they give part
0:58of their revenue to reforestation NOS's
1:01who do the planting on the ground. I've
1:02been playing it myself this week and
1:04honestly, it is super engaging. It is
1:07one of the prettiest mobile games I've
1:09seen, and it's super smooth to play.
1:12There are no pop-up ads, no annoying
1:14interruptions. You can even play
1:16offline. No Wi-Fi needed. But what
1:18really got me is this feeling that I'm
1:20not just playing, I'm doing something
1:22good. It's such a nice mix of fun and
1:25purpose. Right now, the team behind the
1:27game is launching a global challenge to
1:29help reforest the US. For every single
1:32download, they will plant 10 seeds to
1:35help restore forests that have been
1:36affected by wildfires in the US. It's
1:39totally free to play. No Wi-Fi needed,
1:41no ads, and it takes less than a minute
1:43to get started. Try it for yourself. Let
1:45me know how many trees you managed to
1:47plant and let's do something great while
1:48having fun. The first thing that we're
1:50going to do is talk measurements. So,
1:53what you're going to want to do is chain
1:55a multiple of eight and make sure that
1:58that amount fits around your waist and
2:01goes over your hips. So, you have your
2:02long chain. So, just hold it together to
2:05make a large circle and pull it up like
2:08you would pull on a pair of pants and
2:10make sure that it goes over your hips
2:11because if it doesn't go over your hips,
2:13then it won't fit. it will be too tight.
2:15So, you don't want that. But definitely
2:17chain an amount that you think will fit
2:19for you and then just try it on. Make
2:22sure it fits. I always like to try on as
2:24I go rather than using a measuring tape
2:26just because I feel like trying it on
2:28your actual body is usually a little bit
2:30more accurate. But you definitely do
2:33what you would like to do. Just make
2:34sure that before you keep on going with
2:36the project that you make sure that that
2:39chain fits you because I have made
2:41skirts before that once I tried them on
2:45they do not fit me and it's quite sad
2:47once you've done all the work. It's so
2:48sad when they don't fit. So always try
2:51it on before you keep on going. And the
2:54yarn I used is Twister Solid from Hobie.
2:57It is a size two fine yarn and they
3:01recommend you using a 4 to 4 and 1/2 mm
3:03hook, but I am using a 5 and 1/2 mm hook
3:07because I like to size up by one just to
3:09get more of a drape and a flow. If you
3:12do not want that as much and you want
3:14kind of more structure, then I would
3:16suggest using either the hook size that
3:19your yarn recommends or just a thicker
3:21weight yarn like a DK or worsted. But
3:24that is definitely up to you, whatever
3:25aesthetic you're going for. So, as you
3:28can see here, I have a lot of lines and
3:31things. But once I explain to you all of
3:34the math behind this, it will make
3:36sense. So, I designed this pattern to
3:39fit anyone at all. So, if you want to
3:41make this for any size at all, you can.
3:45So, as you can see, we have our eight
3:48increase spots here. That's what this
3:49little V is here. Those are our eight
3:51increase spots all the way around. And
3:53we want to make sure that we place them
3:55evenly all the way around so that our
3:57skirt hem kind of goes in this nice even
4:00structure rather than just kind of
4:01wonky. So what you're going to do is
4:05since we are increasing eight times,
4:07you're going to take your chain amount,
4:09whatever it is, mine is 112. So I'm
4:13going to take 112 and divide that by 8
4:17because that is how many times that we
4:18are increasing. So 112 / 8 is 14. So
4:24that means I'm going to increase which
4:26is that right here in every 14th stitch.
4:30So we have an increase right here in
4:32this stitch. So 1 2 3 4 5 6 7 8 9 10 11
4:3712 13 14. So we're increasing in that
4:4014th stitch. Now I'm going again
4:42starting over the count. 1 2 3 4 5 6 7 8
4:459 10 11 12 13 14. increasing in that
4:4814th stitch. This is 14 stitches and 13
4:52stitches, sorry, and increasing in the
4:5314th and so on and so forth all the way
4:55around just increasing in every 14th
4:58stitch. So basically, let's just say you
5:00need to chain 160 and that is a multiple
5:04of eight. Just make sure that your chain
5:05always is a multiple of eight. It has to
5:07be in order for this pattern to work and
5:09for the math to work. So let's say that
5:11you need 160 chains. So that is a
5:14multiple of eight. So it works
5:16perfectly. So you have 160 chains. So
5:19now to figure out your increase pattern,
5:22what you're going to do since we are
5:24increasing 1 2 3 4 5 6 7 8 times, you're
5:28going to take your chain amount that is
5:30a multiple of eight and you're going to
5:32divide that by however many times we are
5:35increasing, which is eight times. So 160
5:39/ 8 is 20. If you need 160 chains,
5:44you're going to increase in every 20th
5:46stitch. I need 112, so I'm going to
5:48increase in every 14th stitch. So, it's
5:51really that simple. However many chains
5:54that you need, that is a multiple of
5:56eight. You just need to take that
5:57amount, divide it by 8, which is the
6:00amount of times that we are increasing,
6:03and then you get that number here. Let's
6:05just say 20. So, you're going to
6:07increase in every 20th stitch. It is
6:09really that simple. And this pattern
6:11really is simple. It's perfect for
6:13beginners. It's perfect for any age,
6:15perfect for any size. And I am I'm just
6:18so happy with it. I really love how this
6:20pattern turned out and I hope you guys
6:21do, too. So, let's go ahead and get
6:23started. Let me show you how to make
6:25this skirt. So, I'm going to start by
6:27making a slip
6:30knot. I'm going to go ahead and chain
6:33112 for mine since I know that that fits
6:35me based off of the green short skirt
6:37that I made for the test of this
6:39pattern. just to see how everything
6:40would work and how the math would work
6:42and everything. So, I know that that's
6:44going to work for me, but you go ahead
6:46and figure out how many chains that you
6:47need. Make sure it's a multiple of eight
6:49to make sure that it fits you really,
6:50really well. So, I'm going to go ahead
6:52and chain mine. You go ahead and chain
6:53yours, and I will see you in just a
6:55[Music]
7:00sec. Now, as you can see, I'm not making
7:03my chains tight at all. They're nice and
7:08loose, kind of stretchy a little bit.
7:10You're going to want to make sure that
7:11you don't make your beginning chains too
7:14tight because then it will be impossible
7:16to get up over your hips and it won't
7:19stretch very well. So, make sure that
7:21you don't make your chains too
7:27tight. So, here I have my chain of 112.
7:31So now I'm just going to make
7:33sure that my chain is laying flat
7:36because I'm going to connect the
7:39chain together to form a circle. So I'm
7:43just running my thumb down my chain to
7:45make sure that my chain is not twisted.
7:49[Music]
7:54And in that first chain that we
7:57made, I'm just going to slip stitch into
8:00it to join them
8:07together. And there we have our
8:09beginning chain. Go ahead and try this
8:12on. Make sure that it fits you.
8:15Now I'm going to go ahead and chain
8:17four, which counts as our first
8:19tripouble
8:22crochet. And in the next
8:25chain, I'm going to put one tripouble
8:31[Music]
8:32crochet. And then in the next
8:35chain, I'm going to put one tripouble
8:38crochet. And in every single chain for
8:42the first row, I'm just going to put one
8:45trouble crochet. We're not going to do
8:46any increasing yet until the second row.
8:48But for this first row, I'm just going
8:51to do one treouble crochet in every
8:54single chain all the way
8:57around. So I'm going to have 112
9:00tripouble
9:01crochets by the end.
9:10Okay, so I have all my trouble crochets
9:14in the chains, but I'm just going to go
9:16back and count them all starting from my
9:20chain four cuz that does count as a
9:22triple crochet. But I'm just going to
9:23back go back and count them all and make
9:25sure I have
9:27112. Okay, so I have 112. And now I'm
9:31just going to reattach my yarn here.
9:36And make sure that your trouble crochets
9:38are not laying like this all twisted.
9:40Make sure that everything is nice and
9:44flat. Just like that. Make sure it's
9:46laying
9:49flat. And then you're just going to go
9:51ahead and slip stitch into the top of
9:55the chain
9:56[Music]
10:00four. Then you're going to chain four
10:02again. 1 2 3 4 and we are going to start
10:07our increases in this row. So this chain
10:11four counts as a tripouble crochet. Then
10:14we're going to chain another one to
10:16count as the chain one because in our
10:19first stitch here of the row is going to
10:21be an increase. So we're starting with
10:23an increase. So we have our chain four.
10:251 2 3 4 which is a triple crochet. Then
10:28we're going to chain one and in that
10:31same stitch that we slip stitched
10:33into we're going to put one tripouble
10:36crochet. So our
10:38increases are trouble crochet, chain
10:41one, triple crochet all in the same
10:44stitch. So since I chained 112 and I'm
10:48going to be increasing eight times, I'm
10:50going to take 112, divide it by 8 and I
10:53get 14. So I'm going to increase in
10:55every 14th stitch. So, I have one
10:58increase here. Then I'm going to go into
10:59the next stitch, which is this one right
11:02here.
11:07[Music]
11:101
11:132
11:173
11:19[Music]
11:214
11:255 6
11:29[Music]
11:357
11:408
11:42[Music]
11:459
11:46[Music]
11:4810
11:5211 12
11:5513. So now in that 14th stitch
12:01there we are going to do our
12:04increase tripouble
12:06crochet chain
12:08one tripouble crochet all in the same
12:12stitch. So there we have our second
12:17increase. And now we're going to repeat
12:19that
12:20again and increase in the 14th stitch.
12:23Just start over your count with
12:271
12:28[Music]
12:301
12:3213. And now in that 14th stitch, we're
12:35going to
12:36increase. And our increase is always
12:39trouble crochet. Chain one, trouble
12:42crochet in the same
12:44stitch. So there we have another
12:47increase. And I'm just going to repeat
12:49this all the way around increasing in
12:51every 14th stitch. So doing 13 stitches
12:55of just one triple crochet in every
12:57stitch. And in that 14th stitch do my
13:01increase starting over my
13:04count. And then in that 14th stitch
13:07you're going to increase by putting one
13:09treouble
13:10crochet. Chain one. One trouble crochet
13:14all in the same stitch.
13:17So, I'm going to keep on repeating this
13:18all the way around. In every 14th
13:21stitch, I'm going to increase. So, now
13:24that I just increased, I'm going to
13:25start over my count with one. And then
13:28just do one tripouble crochet in the
13:31next 13 stitches. And in that 14th
13:34stitch, I'm going to increase by putting
13:36one trouble crochet, chain one, one
13:39trouble crochet. And just repeat that
13:41all the way around.
13:5413 and then as you can see 14. We have
13:57our increase already done. So there we
14:00have our first row of increasing done.
14:03And now going forward it is just
14:05completely so easy. You just increase in
14:09the chain one spaces. Every single chain
14:11one space. You don't have to do any
14:13counting of anything in between the
14:16increases. Just every time you come
14:19across the increase space from the
14:22previous row, this chain one space here,
14:25you're just going to increase into it.
14:26You don't have to count anymore. It's
14:29just very mindless, peaceful from here
14:32on out. So now I am going to slip stitch
14:35into our chain one. As you can see, we
14:37have our 1 2 3 four. That counts as our
14:41tripouble crochet. And then we have this
14:43extra chain one right there. So I'm
14:45going to go ahead and slip stitch into
14:46that chain one
14:50[Music]
14:52space. And I'm going to go ahead and
14:54chain four again to count as our first
14:57tripouble
14:58crochet. Chain
15:00one. Put another trouble crochet in that
15:03same stitch.
15:08[Music]
15:11Just like that. And then in that next
15:14stitch, I'm going to put one treouble
15:18crochet. And then I'm going to go ahead
15:20and put one trouble crochet in every
15:22single
15:23stitch until I reach my increase
15:27[Music]
15:34[Music]
15:36space. Okay. So, I've reached my
15:39increase space. And if you need to, you
15:41can grab eight stitch markers or eight
15:43bobby pins that you can put in that
15:45space to make it easier. If you kind of
15:48have a hard time noticing where the
15:50increases are, you can just go ahead and
15:52put a stitch marker in each of the
15:54increase spaces. If it's easier for you,
15:57you can totally do that if you'd like.
16:00So now I've reached the increase from
16:02the previous row. So in that stitch, in
16:04that chain one space, I'm just going to
16:06go right into that space directly into
16:09it and put my next increase, which is
16:12one tripouble
16:13crochet, chain one, one tripouble
16:17crochet, all in that same space. And in
16:19the chain one spaces in this gap here,
16:22that's where we're going to be putting
16:24all of our
16:26increases all the way
16:29around. And then in our next stitch here
16:32from the previous rows increase, I'm
16:35going to go right into that
16:41stitch with my first trouble crochet.
16:44Starting
16:46over with my next trouble crochet and
16:50just going all the way down to the next
16:53increase. Just putting one trouble
16:56crochet in every single stitch.
17:00I've reached the next increase space
17:03here. So in that space I'm going to put
17:06one tripouble
17:07crochet. Chain one. One trouble
17:12crochet in that same stitch. So trouble
17:15crochet, chain one, trouble crochet in
17:17that same
17:18space, in that chain one space there.
17:22And then in the very next trouble
17:24crochet, this one right
17:27here, we're going to put one trouble
17:31crochet. And in every single stitch
17:34until we reach our next increase, we're
17:37just going to put one treouble
17:42crochet. I've reached my next
17:45increase, so I'm just going to treble
17:48crochet.
17:51chain one and tripouble crochet all in
17:55that same chain one
17:59space. And then in that very next
18:01trouble crochet, this one right here.
18:04Don't skip that
18:07one. Put one trouble crochet into that.
18:10And now one trouble crochet in every
18:13single stitch until we reach our next
18:16increase space or our chain one space.
18:19And in that chain one space, we're going
18:21to trouble crochet, chain one, tripouble
18:25crochet. Go into the very next trouble
18:28crochet. And all the next trouble
18:30crochets from the previous row and put
18:32one trouble crochet into that. And then
18:35once you get to the chain one space,
18:37increase space again, you're just going
18:40to increase in it again by putting one
18:41trouble crochet, chain one, one trouble
18:44crochet, all in the same space. And
18:46you're just going to keep on repeating
18:48this all the way
18:54around. Okay. So, you can see I've
18:58reached the end of my row,
19:01but remember that slip stitch that we
19:05made in the previous row? I'm actually
19:08going to put my final treble crochet
19:12into that slip stitch. As you can see
19:18here, right there, I'm going to put my
19:20final treble crochet of the row right in
19:23that slip
19:25stitch. And then I'm going to go ahead
19:27and 1 2 3 4 in that fifth chain or in
19:31that technically chain one that counts
19:33as the chain one that we made in the
19:36beginning here. I'm going to again slip
19:39stitch into that chain
19:40[Music]
19:42one. And make sure since we are going to
19:45be always putting our final trouble
19:47crochet of the row into the slip stitch,
19:50make sure that you don't make that slip
19:51stitch too
19:56tight. Then you're going to go ahead and
19:58chain four again to count as your first
20:00treouble crochet. 1 2 3
20:024. Chain one.
20:06trouble crochet in that same stitch for
20:08our first increase of our next
20:14row. Then trouble crochet in the next
20:18stitch and in all the next stitches
20:21until you reach your next increase or
20:23your next chain one space where we are
20:26going to increase in. And these rows are
20:30just going to repeat themselves for
20:32however long you want your skirt to be.
20:35It's really just that
20:39[Music]
20:41simple. I have reached another chain one
20:46increase space. So, I'm going to go
20:48ahead and put my next increase in that
20:51space. Trouble
20:53crochet. Chain one trouble crochet. All
20:56in that same
20:57space. And then in the next trouble
21:00crochet, I'm going to put one trouble
21:02crochet. And then in all the next
21:04trouble crochets, I'm just going to put
21:06one trouble crochet until I reach my
21:08next increase
21:11space. And I've reached my next increase
21:15space. So I'm just going to put one
21:17treouble
21:18crochet, chain one, one trouble crochet
21:22in that same
21:25space, and
21:27again in that next trouble
21:31crochet. Just going to put one tripouble
21:34crochet and one trouble crochet in every
21:37stitch until I reach my next increase
21:39space. And this is going to repeat
21:41itself all the way around. And this is
21:44actually going to repeat itself
21:45throughout the entire pattern. Just
21:48doing the exact same thing. So I'm just
21:50going to go ahead and all the way around
21:52put one trouble crochet in every stitch
21:54and in those chain one
21:59gaps. Got our next one here. I'm going
22:02to increase by putting one tripouble
22:04crochet. Chain one. One trouble crochet
22:07in that same space. And in the next
22:11trouble crochet, the next available
22:14one, which will be this one
22:17here, I'm going to put one trouble
22:20crochet in that space. And all the way
22:23until I reach my next increase where I'm
22:26going to put trouble crochet, chain one,
22:27trouble crochet in this chain one space.
22:31Then one tripouble crochet all the way
22:34until I reach my next one. And just keep
22:36on repeating until I reach the
22:40beginning.
22:41And I will see you guys in just a sec
22:44once we both reach the
22:49beginning of our
22:51row. And I'm almost at the
22:55beginning of my row
22:58here. And remember that slip
23:01stitch that we
23:06had in the beginning of our previous
23:08row. Don't forget that your final
23:11tripouble crochet of the row will always
23:13go into that slip stitch for every
23:17single row going
23:18forward. Your final trouble crochet will
23:21go into that slip
23:23stitch. And now I'm going to go ahead
23:26and slip
23:28stitch into that chain
23:34one right
23:37there. Then I'm going to go ahead and
23:39chain
23:43four. Then chain one more for that chain
23:47one. So the chain four counts as a
23:49tripouble crochet. Then we chained one
23:53and tripreouble
23:54crochet all in the same stitch for our
23:57first increase.
24:02Now we're going to go into our
24:03next trouble crochet which is right
24:09here and put one trouble crochet into
24:11that
24:12stitch and all the
24:15next
24:18stitches until I
24:21reach my next chain one space.
24:34Now we've reached the chain one space
24:37and I'm going to put one tripouble
24:39crochet, chain
24:41one, one trouble crochet all in that
24:44same
24:47stitch. And then in that next trouble
24:49crochet here, I'm going to put one
24:51trouble
24:53crochet. and then one tripouble crochet
24:55in every single stitch again until I
24:57reach my next chain one space. And this
25:00pattern completely repeats itself. So
25:03the previous row that we just did, you
25:05are just going to repeat that row for
25:08the duration of the skirt for however
25:11long you want it to
25:13be. So let me just show you.
25:18So now what we're doing is we're putting
25:20one tripouble crochet in every single
25:22stitch until we reach our next chain one
25:25space which is right here. So in the
25:27chain one spaces you're always going to
25:29put one tripouble crochet, chain one,
25:31one trouble crochet and then we have our
25:34next trouble crochet here. This trouble
25:37crochet right there. You're going to put
25:39one trouble
25:40crochet in that stitch. and then one
25:43tripouble crochet in every single stitch
25:46until you reach your chain one space
25:48again where you're going to increase by
25:49putting one trouble crochet. Chain one,
25:52one trouble
25:53crochet. Then your next tripouble
25:56crochet goes in this one here. And then
25:58one trouble crochet in every stitch
26:00until you reach your next increase. and
26:03so on and so
26:05forth until you reach the beginning
26:08where we have our you might have to pull
26:11it a little bit to kind of see that slip
26:13stitch cuz it likes to hide. But don't
26:15forget in that slip stitch there is
26:18going to be your final treble crochet of
26:21the row. But don't forget that that slip
26:24stitch there, your final treouble
26:27crochet of the row goes into that slip
26:29stitch always. And then what you're
26:30going to do is you're going to count up
26:311 2 3 4 five. And then in that fifth
26:35chain, you're going to slip stitch into
26:38that fifth
26:39chain. Then you're again going to chain
26:41four, which counts as our first treouble
26:44crochet of the increase. Then you're
26:46going to chain
26:47one and put another trouble crochet in
26:50that same stitch, which counts as the
26:53first increase of our row. And then in
26:56the next trouble crochet, you're going
26:57to put one trouble crochet. And you're
26:59going to put one triple crochet in every
27:01single stitch until you reach your
27:03increase again where you're going to put
27:06one trouble crochet. Chain one, one
27:07trouble crochet. And then your next
27:10trouble crochet will go right into this
27:12stitch here. And then just trouble
27:14crochet all the way around again until
27:16you reach your next chain one space.
27:19Repeat the same increase sequence. Go
27:22all the way around again till you reach
27:24the beginning and so on and so forth.
27:26Just completely repeat this for however
27:29long you want your skirt to be. If you
27:31want it to be a mini, a midi, a maxi,
27:33however you however long you want it to
27:35be. So I am just going to keep on going
27:38with this pattern. But I am going to
27:40show
27:41you just one more time once I get all
27:45the way around all the way around the
27:47skirt. Here I am going to show you the
27:50ending and the beginning just one more
27:52time. and we'll go through it
27:54together and then um we will just go
27:57ahead and finish the rest on our own.
27:59But I'm going to go ahead and go all the
28:00way around again and then we're going to
28:02go through the ending and beginning
28:03together just one more time just to make
28:06sure everything makes
28:14sense. Okay, so we've reached that slip
28:17stitch
28:19space. So, our last treouble crochet of
28:22the row will always go in that slip
28:25stitch space. So, now I'm just going to
28:28do a quick recap of how we end the row
28:31and how we begin the
28:33row. So, we put our final treble crochet
28:36in that slip stitch space. And now I'm
28:38going to count up 1 2 3 4 5. And in that
28:42fifth chain, or technically the chain
28:44one space, I'm going to slip stitch into
28:47it.
28:50And remember, not very
28:51tight because you are going to go into
28:54that space once you reach all the way
28:56around and put your final triple crochet
28:58of the row into that slip stitch
29:01space. So now I just slip stitched and
29:03I'm going to go ahead and chain
29:06four, which counts as a tripouble
29:09crochet. And then I'm going to chain
29:12one. And in that same
29:16stitch, I'm going to put one treouble
29:20crochet. So, we have our chain of four,
29:22which counts as a tripouble crochet.
29:24Chain one, one trouble crochet, all in
29:26that same stitch for the first
29:30increase. And that is how you're going
29:32to begin and end every single
29:37row. And then in that next trouble
29:40crochet, the very next trouble crochet,
29:43I'm going to put one trouble crochet in
29:45that stitch. And in every single
29:48stitch, until I reach my increase
29:52space, which is that chain one space.
29:55And in the chain one spaces, I'm going
29:58to put one trouble crochet. Chain one,
30:00one trouble crochet. And in the very
30:02next trouble crochet, I'm going to put
30:04one trouble crochet. And then in all the
30:07next stitches, I'm going to put one
30:08trouble crochet until I reach my next
30:10increase. Chain one space. And I'm going
30:13to increase in that space. And so on and
30:14so for so forth all the way
30:18around until I reach the
30:21beginning where I will put my
30:23final treouble
30:26crochet in the slip stitch right here.
30:30Then slip stitch into the fifth chain.
30:33And just repeat the exact same thing
30:35that we went over. And I'm going to go
30:37ahead and keep on doing this for however
30:41long I want my skirt to be. I'm going to
30:44make this one a maxi skirt. Since I made
30:47my green one shorter, I am going to make
30:49this one much longer. I'm going to make
30:52this one a maxi skirt. But I'm just
30:53going to keep going. And what is going
30:57to happen is these points are going to
31:00come become much more dramatic as we go
31:03on and keep adding more stitches to each
31:06side. So you will definitely notice more
31:10flow happening. At this point, honestly,
31:12you don't really notice too much. I
31:14mean, you notice a little bit, but as
31:16you keep going on and you keep adding
31:18rows, you're going to notice how much
31:20more pointed these little increase spots
31:23become and how much more you can tell
31:26that tiered uneven hem effect. I have
31:29not yet made a maxi skirt with this
31:32pattern, so I'm excited to see how it
31:34all comes together. So, I am going to
31:37keep on going doing this exact same
31:39thing we have been doing, and then I
31:42will see you guys very soon. and I'll
31:43probably check in on you and show you my
31:46progress maybe in like a day. And then
31:48we are going to do a border around the
31:52top part of our skirt here just to make
31:56everything look a little bit neater and
31:58cleaner. But I will see you guys soon.
32:02[Music]
32:29And then once I've reached the length
32:31that I want for my skirt, I'm just going
32:33to slip stitch in that fifth chain that
32:36I made or the chain one. Then I'm going
32:38to chain one and cut my
32:41yarn. Pull out my hook. Tighten it a
32:44bit. And I am finished with my skirt's
32:48length. And now I'm just going to go
32:50back up to the top of the skirt. And
32:52we're going to finish up the waistband.
32:54So I'm just going to attach my yarn in
32:57any of these stitches
32:59here. And I'm just going to tie it
33:05in. And I'm just gonna double knot it
33:08because I like to be safe rather than
33:11sorry. Um, so I'm just double knotting
33:15my yarn that I attached in. And I'm
33:17going to size down my hook. I'm actually
33:19going to go down to a five. I believe
33:22this is, let me check over here. Yes, a
33:23five. And I'm just going to pull up a
33:26loop and chain one. And in that same
33:29stitch, I'm going to put one half double
33:33crochet. And then in every single stitch
33:36all the way
33:38around, I'm just going to put one half
33:40double crochet. All the way around the
33:44circumference of the
33:46waistband. Just one half double crochet.
33:48And for the whole entire skirt, I used
33:50the 5 and 1/2 mm hook. And for the
33:53waistband, I thought that it would be
33:54nice to kind of size it down, make it
33:56look a little cleaner. So, I went to a
33:585mm hook. And it looks cleaner already.
34:00I really like it. the edge of the skirt
34:03just looks kind of not clean. It looks
34:05kind of rough to me. So, I really like
34:08adding that half double crochet border.
34:10So, once you get all the way around, you
34:12can go ahead and slip stitch into the
34:14first half double crochet that you made,
34:16which I have already done. And now I'm
34:18going to go ahead and chain four. And
34:21then I'm going to go ahead and chain one
34:23more. That counts as our chain one
34:24because we're going to do a little mesh
34:25stitch. So I'm going to skip the next
34:27half double crochet, go into the next
34:30with one treouble crochet. So that first
34:33chain four plus one counts as a
34:35tripouble crochet. Chain one. So now I'm
34:38just going to make this mesh stitch of
34:40trouble crochet. Chain one. So I am
34:43putting a tripouble crochet in this
34:45stitch
34:46here. Chaining one, skipping the next
34:48stitch, going into the next with a
34:51tripreouble crochet. chaining one,
34:54skipping the next stitch, going into the
34:56next with a tripouble crochet, then
34:59chaining one, skipping the next stitch,
35:01going into the next with a tripreouble
35:02crochet, chaining one. So, it's
35:04basically just this super simple mesh
35:09pattern. So, what we're going to do is
35:11just continue this all the way around.
35:13Skip the next stitch. Go into the next
35:16with a tripreouble crochet. Chain one.
35:18Skip the next stitch. Go into the next
35:21with a tripreouble crochet. Chain one.
35:23Skip the next stitch. And so on and so
35:25forth. Just completely repeating this
35:27all the way around. And once you reach
35:29all the way around, you're going to go
35:31ahead and slip stitch in the
35:33fourth chain. 1 2 3
35:404. And then you're going to go ahead and
35:43chain one. And in that same stitch,
35:46you're going to put one half double
35:48crochet because that chain one does not
35:49count as a half double crochet. And then
35:52in the chain one space here, in this
35:54gap, we are going to put one half double
35:57crochet. And then in the top of the
36:00previous rows trouble crochet, we are
36:01going to put a half double
36:03crochet. And then a half double crochet
36:05in that chain one gap. and then a half
36:07double crochet in the top of the
36:09previous row's trouble crochet. Then in
36:11the chain one gap, then in the top of
36:14the previous row's trouble crochet, and
36:15so on and so forth. Just one tripouble
36:17crochet in every single stitch. So the
36:19chain one gap and then the trouble
36:21crochet from the previous row just all
36:23the way
36:24around. And then our waistband will be
36:27finished.
36:36So, I'm just continuing on doing this
36:37one half double crochet in every stitch
36:40until I've reached now all the way
36:41around. And I'm slip stitching in the
36:43first half double crochet that I made.
36:45Then I'm going to chain one again, cut
36:48my yarn, pull out my hook, tighten it a
36:51bit, and my waistband is completed. So
36:55now what we need to do is work on the
36:58tie. And the tie is just very simple.
37:00It's just a bunch of chains. So, here I
37:03have the tie that I made for my green
37:06skirt, my little green mini skirt. And
37:09as you can see, the chains are chained
37:11very, very tightly. So, I went ahead and
37:14pulled out my, let me see over here, 4
37:16and 1/2 mm hook for this because that is
37:20the yarn uh that is the hook size that
37:22my yarn recommends. So, I wanted to
37:24stick with that. So, here I have my 4
37:26and 1/2 mm hook. And I'm just going to
37:28make a chain starting off with a slip
37:31knot.
37:35And I'm just going to go ahead and make
37:37a bunch of tight chains. So, it doesn't
37:40matter however many you do. However many
37:43you need to do is dependent upon your
37:45size. So, I actually chained too few. I
37:48thought I did well, but once I tried it
37:51on, I realized that I needed it to be
37:54much longer. So, I kind of wish I had
37:56made mine longer, but as you can see
37:58here, they're super super tight. And
38:01that's what you want. You want them to
38:02be very nice and tight so it kind of
38:04looks braided. And how I do that is I
38:07pull my pointer
38:09finger. As you can see this one I'm
38:11pointing to right here. I pull it to
38:12tighten that chain. So I make the chain
38:16with the hook and then I tighten it with
38:17my pointer finger on my left hand.
38:21And once I reach the amount of chains
38:23that I want, I'm just going to cut my
38:25yarn, pull out my hook, and I'm going to
38:28take the two tails and cut them to the
38:31same
38:32length. And then this part is totally
38:34optional, but I'm going to add some
38:36wooden
38:37beads on the end. And I got these wooden
38:40beads from Jo-Ann's. Rest in peace,
38:42Joanne. You are deeply
38:44missed. And again, this part is
38:47completely optional. You can definitely
38:49do it or not do it, but I'm just going
38:51to string these beads onto my tie
38:59here. And then I'm going to after I'm
39:02done stringing them on both ends of my
39:06chain, I'm just going to go ahead and
39:08make a knot kind of like maybe like an
39:10inch and a half from the bottom of the
39:14of the tail. Um, but it truly doesn't
39:18matter however long you do it or however
39:21short, but you kind of need to have that
39:23little tie there, that little knot to
39:27obviously keep the bead from slipping
39:29right off. So, I have it probably about
39:32an inch and a half maybe from the end.
39:34I'm not quite sure, but again, it
39:36doesn't really matter. So then I go to
39:38the other side and try to duplicate that
39:42where I put the other knot so they look
39:46relatively the same as much as as much
39:48as
39:54possible. So just lining them up the
39:56best I can.
40:00And then once I'm ready and happy with
40:03the location, I'm just going to tighten
40:05it and then bring my bead down. So,
40:07looks pretty good. Pretty pretty good.
40:10And I think it just adds a little
40:12something. I don't know. I I like it.
40:14But again, you don't have to do it if
40:15you don't want to. So, here is what the
40:18green one looks
40:20like.
40:22And here is our cream one.
40:26And now what we're going to do next, I
40:27have gotten so many requests from you
40:30guys to do a blocking tutorial. And I am
40:33going to do it because this skirt is in
40:34desperate need of blocking. Look at the
40:36ends how they're kind of like curling
40:38upwards and the I don't know, the rows
40:42just don't lay flat enough. So, we're
40:44going to fix that by doing some
40:46blocking. And I'm going to show you how
40:47to do it. In the last tutorial, I was
40:49going to show you, but then my son woke
40:51up and I didn't have time. So, right
40:53now, I'm going to show you how I do wet
40:56blocking. So, the first thing that I'm
40:58going to do is fill up my kids's tub
41:01with some lukewarm water. And I'm just
41:04adding some of this drift delicate
41:07newborn detergent to it and filling it
41:09up so I have enough room for my skirt to
41:12be fully immersed in the water. So, once
41:15it's all filled up and I make sure that
41:17I have enough water in there because you
41:18want your project to be fully submerged.
41:21So, make sure that every single area of
41:23your piece is fully in the water. So,
41:27just push it in. Make sure that all the
41:29areas are getting nice and saturated.
41:32And then I'm just going to let it sit in
41:34its little bubble bath for about 15 to
41:3620 minutes. And then once the 15 to 20
41:39minutes is up, I'm going to gently rinse
41:42out the soap. And also to get out excess
41:46water, do not twist or like ring out
41:50like you would ring out a rag. Do not
41:52twist your project. Gently squeeze out
41:56the water just like I'm doing here. Very
41:58very gently. And obviously I'm I took it
42:01out to squeeze out the water, but I was
42:03just wanting to show you do not twist
42:06it. So now I'm just laying it out in a
42:08clean towel and I'm going to roll my
42:11project into the towel. as you can see
42:14here to also help remove excess water.
42:17It cuts down also on the blocking drying
42:20time. So I am just rolling it up in this
42:24little
42:26towel just to get out as much of that
42:30moisture as
42:37possible. So I'm just tucking it all in.
42:45And then once it is all tucked in, I'm
42:48going to gently push
42:50down on the
42:53towel like I'm doing
42:57here just to get out as much of that
43:00water as I
43:01can. And then I'm going to unroll it and
43:06gently take it off the towel.
43:12and then place it on my mat so it can
43:15dry. And I am not going to pin this
43:18skirt. All I'm going to do is I'm going
43:20to take those eight points, remember our
43:22increase points, and I'm just going to
43:23gently pull them down. As you can see
43:26here, I am not going to pin it. Usually
43:28I pin sweaters and things, but I don't I
43:31didn't find it necessary to pin this
43:33skirt, so I'm not going to. And I'm just
43:35going to let it sit here until it's
43:37fully dry. Um, this skirt took probably
43:41I probably had it on the mat for about 3
43:42days. Now, a couple things to take into
43:44consideration is the yarn type that you
43:47use. The yarn type I used was a blend of
43:49acrylic and cotton, but I used lukewarm
43:54water for that because acrylic and
43:56cotton can be soaked in warm water. But
44:00if you are using wool, you do not want
44:02to use warm water for blocking wool. you
44:06would want to use like a colder
44:08temperature water because it would felt
44:10and you definitely do not want that. So
44:13once your project is laying nice and
44:15flat, then you can pin it if you need
44:19to, but make sure that you lay it nice
44:21and flat and leave it for however long
44:24it takes for it to fully dry. And here
44:28are the finished skirts. This is the
44:30little green mini that I made. I
44:31absolutely love it. It reminds me of
44:33Tinkerbell very much, but you can layer
44:36it with so many fun things like belts
44:38and I put another skirt underneath and
44:40then I have like this little shaw that I
44:42tied around my waist and a corset. And
