3 Reasons You Have to Crochet Skirts

What is your crochet wardrobe missing? Let me give you a hint. Some are warm and thick. Some are light and lacy. Some are short, and some are long. Have you guessed yet? Spoiler, if you read the headline you are way ahead of me, but you really need a crochet skirt or six in your closet. Now let me tell you why.

Crochet Skirts Cross the Seasons

I’m horrible at packing up my winter clothes and putting them away, so I love clothes that are all-season. Enter crochet skirts like the Aslant Skirt, Asquint Skirt, Pretty Pleats Skirt and Zig Zag Skirt to name a few. These skirts all pair beautifully with a pair of sandals or thick lined tights and boots, meaning you can wear them on vacation this summer or stay warm and stylish this winter. Crochet skirts are also usually very easy to shorten or lengthen, so you can easily achieve the best length for you–a benefit I always appreciate because purchased skirts are never the right length for me.

Make a Statement

Show off your personality with crochet. Not just a commercial piece you can pick up off the rack, a crochet skirt really showcases your personality. From the color to the customization, you won’t find two alike. Many crocheted garments, especially those created in lace, require a lining, underskirt, or slip, giving you the opportunity to play with color, ruffles, length and more to make sure your skirt really shows off who you are. Try creating multiple underskirts for the Rosalind Skirt, Nightshade Skirt, Paintbrush Skirt or Ava Skirt and get even more use out of your creation.

Skirts Have Amazing Twirl Factor

Yes, twirl is on my list of why crochet skirts are amazing! I don’t care how old you are, there is something so fun about the twirl and swish of a skirt. Skirts like the Citrine Skirt, Charlotte Skirt, Lara’s Dance Skirt or the perfectly named Swirly Skirt bring a smile to your face with each twirl or that little swish in your step you have to add to give them just a little more movement.

Are you convinced? Maybe I’m preaching to the choir and you have an entire row of crochet skirts in your closet right now. But if by chance you haven’t yet discovered how incredible crocheted skirts can be, pick your favorite pattern and get started. Even if you are slightly obsessed with skirts, I’m sure you’ll be able to find your next project in the Interweave Crochet Store.

Happy crocheting,
