1. 0:00hello welcome back to or welcome to my
2. 0:02channel I am so happy to have you here
3. 0:04today and I have another tutorial to
4. 0:05share with you it's another crochet
5. 0:08tutorial this is a crochet skirt or
6. 0:10swimsuit wrap with a beaded Fringe on
7. 0:13the bottom which is of course optional
8. 0:15and this project is especially great
9. 0:16because once you get the pattern started
10. 0:18the rest of it is completely mindless
11. 0:20and you can watch TV while you make it
12. 0:22which I know we all like to do so this
13. 0:24is a great one for those like binge
14. 0:25watching days and I'm going to show you
15. 0:27how to get this started for this pattern
16. 0:29I'll be using using a blue acrylic yarn
17. 0:31and a 6 mm hook but you can use any size
18. 0:34yarn or hook that you want to because
19. 0:36the pattern is adjustable to your
20. 0:38measurements so I'm going to start by
21. 0:40making a slip
22. 0:47knot and then we're going to begin by
23. 0:49chaining
24. 0:5110 and as you chain you can keep your
25. 0:53tension pretty loose so that the project
26. 0:55is more flowy at the end three four 5
27. 1:00five
28. 1:04six8 9 and 10 and then we're going to
29. 1:08count eight stitches back so 1 2 3 4 5 6
30. 1:137 8 right here in this eighth chain I'm
31. 1:17going to put a single
32. 1:20crochet making this little square here
33. 1:23at the end I'm then going to chain
34. 1:28five
35. 1:35and then I'm going to count one two and
36. 1:38on this second chain I'm going to insert
37. 1:40my hook and do another single
38. 1:45crochet so then we should have these two
39. 1:47little Loops here so then I'm going to
40. 1:49chain
41. 1:58seven
42. 2:00and turn my work so we have the two
43. 2:02Loops to the left of the hook and then
44. 2:04this chain here and I'm going to place a
45. 2:06single crochet just right in the middle
46. 2:08of this whole section
47. 2:15here like
48. 2:21so okay I'm then going to chain another
49. 2:28five and place a single crochet in this
50. 2:32next
51. 2:33section we're only going to be
52. 2:35crocheting into these blank spaces now
53. 2:38never into the actual chains
54. 2:41itself and then chain another
55. 2:48five and single crochet into the exact
56. 2:51same section as before so now we have a
57. 2:55bit of an increase here and you'll see
58. 2:57that there's three different loops on
59. 3:00this row it's kind of hard to tell but
60. 3:02as you go along it'll become more clear
61. 3:04so there's two Loops in the bottom here
62. 3:06and there's three loops on this top row
63. 3:08so we're going to chain another
64. 3:18seven turn the
65. 3:20work single crochet into this first Loop
66. 3:27here chain five
67. 3:35single crochet into this next
68. 3:39Loop chain
69. 3:46five single crochet into the last
70. 3:49section
71. 3:51here
72. 3:57oops chain five
73. 4:02this yarn's sticky
74. 4:07two and single crochet into the same
75. 4:10section at the end so we're only ever
76. 4:12doing increases in the very last section
77. 4:15that way the increase doesn't happen too
78. 4:17quickly and you don't lose the shape of
79. 4:18your triangle so now we're going to
80. 4:20chain another
81. 4:28seven turn our work and single crochet
82. 4:32into this first
83. 4:34section and chain
84. 4:40five single crochet into the next
85. 4:45section chain
86. 4:52five single crochet into the next
87. 4:56section and now in this last section
88. 4:59we're doing an increase so I'm going to
89. 5:01chain five
90. 5:05again single crochet into this last
91. 5:10section chain
92. 5:15five and single crochet into the same
93. 5:21section so now as you can see there's a
94. 5:24bit of an increase forming here every
95. 5:26single row you get one extra section and
96. 5:28so I'm going to change
97. 5:38seven and that is essentially the entire
98. 5:41pattern you just keep doing that all the
99. 5:42way along single crochet into this
100. 5:45section chain
101. 5:50five single crochet into the next
102. 5:54section chain
103. 5:58five
104. 6:00single crochet into the next section
105. 6:03chain
106. 6:07five single crochet into the next
107. 6:11section chain
108. 6:15five and then do an increase in the very
109. 6:18last section by putting a single
110. 6:23crochet come on there we go chaining
111. 6:28five
112. 6:31and placing another single crochet into
113. 6:33the same
114. 6:34section chain
115. 6:42seven turn your work just continue this
116. 6:45same process of chaining five and single
117. 6:48crocheting into each section here with
118. 6:50an increase in the very last section and
119. 6:52you're going to continue doing this it's
120. 6:54slowly going to form a triangle which
121. 6:56you will eventually be able to tie
122. 6:57around your waist once you have
123. 6:59crocheted enough rows that it fits
124. 7:00around your waist and you can tie it
125. 7:02secure then you can add the beaded
126. 7:04tassels or just normal tassels they're
127. 7:06both kind of the same so I'll just show
128. 7:08you the beaded tassel process uh you can
129. 7:10also just stop here and not add the
130. 7:12tassels but the beads are fun so you're
131. 7:15going to need a bunch of pony beads for
132. 7:17this or you can do like funky beads like
133. 7:20I don't know this lion for example the
134. 7:22opening just has to be big enough to fit
135. 7:24the yarn through is the only thing so
136. 7:26like this fish that's fine uh some of
137. 7:29these are are a bit too small so pony
138. 7:31beads or things with wide openings is
139. 7:32the best I'm going to be doing a mixture
140. 7:35of pale blue and white pony beads on
141. 7:37this one I'm going to start by cutting
142. 7:39the yarn to the length of the tassel and
143. 7:41I'm going to be folding it over so you
144. 7:42can take that into account when you're
145. 7:44measuring your own tassel length and you
146. 7:46can really decide how long you want this
147. 7:47to be but I ended up doing 9 in for my
148. 7:50last piece and I'm going to be doing
149. 7:51that again and then fold it over it'll
150. 7:54be about 4 and 1/2 in I'm then going to
151. 7:56use this cut yarn to measure out a few
152. 7:59more
153. 8:06tassels okay now I've got a nice little
154. 8:09pile of Tassels here so I'm just going
155. 8:10to pull one onto the stack and thread it
156. 8:13through this darning
157. 8:15needle making sure the ends are lined up
158. 8:17before I do
159. 8:20that and I'm threading it through in the
160. 8:22folded side so once I pull it through I
161. 8:24have two bits of yarn here on this side
162. 8:26and a loop on the other side and then
163. 8:28I'm going to pick up the beads that I
164. 8:30want on this tassel so I'm going to do
165. 8:32this pale blue and this darker blue and
166. 8:36then I'll top it with another pale blue
167. 8:38and I'm going to pull that onto the
168. 8:44tassel and then pull it out of the
169. 8:46needle so now I've got three beads here
170. 8:49on my tassel with the loop on one end
171. 8:52and then we can attach it to the wrap I
172. 8:55still don't know what to call that is it
173. 8:56a wrap is it a a skirt
174. 9:00bandana like I don't know what it's
175. 9:01called but regardless I'm going to bring
176. 9:03in the project and I'm going to be
177. 9:06attaching tassels onto both of these
178. 9:09sides here at the bottom of the wrap and
179. 9:11then this top bit here there will be no
180. 9:14tassels I think it is something to do
181. 9:15with this blue yarn that's making my
182. 9:17camera so orange I don't get it but
183. 9:19anyways I'm going to just pick one of
184. 9:21these Loops here on the edge and I'm
185. 9:23going to be putting a tassel into every
186. 9:25single Loop along the edge here you can
187. 9:27kind of decide for yourself how many
188. 9:28tassels you want
189. 9:29and I'm pulling the looped end of the
190. 9:31tassel through this section I'm going to
191. 9:34take the tail and thread it through the
192. 9:39loop and then I'm making sure all the
193. 9:42beads are on the outside of the loop
194. 9:44here and I'm going to pull it really
195. 9:45really tight cuz you don't want this to
196. 9:46come undone
197. 9:50later and it's that easy so now this is
198. 9:53securely attached to this section and
199. 9:55I'm just going to secure the beads by
200. 9:57tying a knot or two at the very bottom
201. 9:59of the
202. 10:08tassel and then if you didn't want the
203. 10:10beads and you wanted just a loose tassel
204. 10:13then you wouldn't put the beads on
205. 10:14beforehand and you wouldn't tie the
206. 10:16knots at the bottom therefore you can
207. 10:17just have like a loose yarn tassel but
208. 10:20here it is with the beads and now I'm
209. 10:22going to go ahead and build some more
210. 10:24tassels I like to kind of alternate the
211. 10:26beads I'm using to give it more
212. 10:28character but you can do the same same
213. 10:29beads every single time it's really up
214. 10:31to you and your personal preference this
215. 10:33time I'm going to do a white bead and
216. 10:35then this darker
217. 10:37blue slide it
218. 10:40on attach it to the next Loop
219. 10:46here making sure these ends are lined up
220. 10:49I'm pulling it through and pulling it
221. 10:53very tight and then tying a knot at the
222. 10:56very
223. 10:58bottom
224. 11:05here are our two cute little tassels and
225. 11:08I'm just going to continue to do the
226. 11:09same thing along both edges of the
227. 11:11project and I'll see you when it's done
228. 11:13I have now added in all of the bead
229. 11:15tassels and I also wo in the Loose Ends
230. 11:18so this is the completed skirt wrap I
231. 11:21saw someone say it was called a hip
232. 11:23scarf I've never heard that before so
233. 11:25we'll see what I end up calling it but I
234. 11:27really like how it turned out with this
235. 11:28blue yarn with the variant it reminds me
236. 11:30of an ocean it's absolutely stunning
237. 11:33this is such an easy pattern to make and
238. 11:35I feel like it's going to be an absolute
239. 11:36staple in my summer wardrobe so

241. 11:40out and if you enjoyed this video please
