Construction
The Dopamine Skirt is a flowy, “choose your own adventure” skirt with an elastic encased waistband. It is crocheted with turned rounds and can be made to any length and a variety of eases.
Difficulty Level
Adventurous Beginner
Size Information:
This is a made-to-measure skirt intended to have positive ease for a flowy fit. You will be able to play with your stitch counts and hook size after creating your waistband to choose how wide/long you would prefer your skirt.
Suggested Yarn:
I suggest fingering weight yarn to create an airy, flowy skirt, but you could use sport or even DK yarn to create a heavier skirt if you’d like. I used Lion Brand Yarn Ombre Life (50% acrylic, 50% cotton) in colorway Cloudy Day for my pink/gray/white sample and Tropical Yarnie Pure Cotton Sock (100% pima cotton) for my green sample.
Yardages:
As this is a made-to-measure pattern, yardages will vary depending on your chosen ease, length, and yarn. I used 1,748 yds for my pink/gray/white sample and 2,100 yds for my green sample. Tester yardage ranged from 1,124 - 2,465 yds. Here is a spreadsheet of Tester Yardages to help you better determine how many yards you’ll need for your skirt.
Other Materials Needed
4.0 mm hook (or size needed to obtain desired skirt fabric)
3.25 mm hook (or hook that is 2-3 hook sizes down from your desired skirt fabric hook) for the waistband.
Elastic for waistband (you need a length long enough to fit snugly around your waist with a few inches extra for tying/sewing).
