Dress (skirt) – All sizes:

To make the skirt you will need 386 squares and 20 half squares joined together with sl st.

Front: First, join the squares to make the front part of the skirt (166 squares + 10 half squares); join A with A and B with B. Note: Position points B according to the bottom width of the top for each size; this is the waist circumference. Here you can customize the fit to your personal measurements by removing or adding squares. Mark the center of the skirt and position the top part of the dress, securing it with running sts and using a tapestry needle.

Back: Now continue the back of the skirt by joining 220 squares + 10 half squares. Join C with C and D with D.

Finish the bottom of the skirt with Edging (B), following diag 5 and the rep st. Work in the rnd and close the rnd with 1 sc.
