Multi-Blue Granny Square Crochet Maxi-Skirt Update #6

Update 0 | Update 1 | Update 2 | Update 3 | Update 4 | Update 5 | Here

Not much of an update. I haven't touched this project since the last one.

I've been thinking of taking off a couple of rows to make it a shorter skirt. I live in the Caribbean and this skirt is warmer than expected 😖 🔥

While I contemplate that, I'll finally be working on the waistband. I'm going to do it with double crochet and do decreases to bring it to the size of my waist.

Wish me luck, because I'm doing this with no reference whatsoever!

Multi-Blue Granny Square Crochet Maxi-Skirt Update #5

Update on my crochet skirt! All granny squares were completed, blocked AND sewn together! And it looks fantastic!

I bought lining fabric for the skirt, but honestly I don't think it will be needed!

What IS needed now though, is to weave in all those ends 😰 I also need to make the waistband.

The skirt is the width of my hips (9 squares) so I need to gradually cinch in the waist (there's a word for it in crochet, but it's not coming to mind) I also want to crochet around the bottom edge to 'clean up' the hem.

Still a lot of work, but I can't wait to finish and wear it!

I'm not done making all the granny squares yet, but I decided to start stitching together the ones I already blocked.

It looks super cool so far! I have I think 7 and a quarter granny squares to make (I have a WIP on my hook)

I'll join them lengthways next and see how everything fits before I tie off all the ends.

I'm not done crocheting yet, but I decided to start blocking some of my squares! I dipped them in water, squeezed out the excess with a towel and pinned them to this foam board with sewing needles.

Technically this is update #2, but the first post was very bare-bones.

So, to get you up-to-date:

I decided to make a granny square maxi skirt. I started with the light blue yarn as that was what I had. I bought the multi-coloured blue yarn next and planned to make a 2 coloured skirt.

I needed to do some math to see how many squares I needed to make. Here it is:

Granny squares- 4 inches Hip measurement- 36 inches Length of skirt- 32 inches

Divide the measurements by the length of granny squares: 36 ÷ 4 = 9 and 32 ÷ 4 = 8

Multiply the results: 8 X 9 = 72

So I have 72 granny squares to crochet. To get how many I need to crochet in each colour, I divide 72 by 2 which is 36.

This changed when my sister said I should add a next colour.

I stuck with my blue theme of course. This addition meant that the math had to change. So now I divided 72 by 3 and got 24 which seems much more manageable to me even though I still have to crochet 72 granny squares.

I'm pretty close to my goal! I believe I have 15 or 16 of each at the time of writing this post.

My hands get REALLY sore after a short while crocheting, so I only crochet 3 a day. It's slow going but I'd rather practice patience than bust up my hands.

I also recently got these cute stitch markers! I'm not working on any projects that need stitch markers at the moment, but they worked really well at holding my squares together so I could see how the skirt looked so far!
