Has Anyone Made the Spider Web Skirt Pattern?

[gretelgrrl]

Hello - I'm not sure if this is the appropriate section for this question- but it is a question and I certainly am no where near finished with the project

 

I love this skirt and was planning on making it for my sister. But, I haven't seen anyone else make it (I don't think)... and because I've never made a skirt before, I'm a little bit cautious/apprehensive. It looks like a simple pattern increase... but I'm not quite sure. Has anyone here done it? Has anyone found any corrections?

 

Do you know of a better pattern that has a similar style, but is easier for a first time skirt maker? I consider myself an intermediate-advanced crocheter, but, like I said - beginner when it come to skirts.

 

 

Thanks for any and all input ...

 

Take care,

Molly

I love the skirt. I haven't made it, but now I am thinking about it. Thanks for the link.

I haven't heard about any corrections to the pattern, and I'm sure if you end up getting stuck you could ask here for help or email Josi, the designer. She promises free assistance with all her patterns.

I was searching through Crochetville and found this thread from last year:

 

http://www.crochetville.org/forum/showthread.php?t=9228&highlight=spiderweb+skirt

 

It seems that a lot of ladies here were working on it - but someone was not cool and shared that pattern, so they canceled the CAL.

 

Anyway- from the thread, it looks like Microspun is a good alternative yarn. You can find that for about $3.00/skein at Michaels, so I think I'm going to go with that. Paton's Katrina is just too expensive for me (it's usually around $8/skein at my Joanns). It sounds like I'll need 11-12 skeins.

 

Anyway- thanks for the input. I'm going to go ahead and purchase the pattern. It is good to know that she offers assistance... that's nice.

 

It's odd that it's been up for so long and no one seems to have finished it - that kind of worries me

 

Ah, well - nothing ventured, nothing gained, right???

It really is a beautiful skirt and doesn't look too difficult. But... wouldn't you have to wear something under it?

I wouldn't think so. It looks like it's solid at least to the length of a miniskirt, & you could always lengthen that part if you're modest.

 

ETA: Taking a second look at it, it appears solid down to midthigh.

Yep, I'm very modest.

I bought this pattern some time ago, but I'm thinking I will make this with the paton's Katrina. Good luck with it and keep up posted with your progress:)

That is a gorgeous pattern! If I decide to order it and make it, I will be sure to let you know.
