I was super excited when I began working on the Sensu Skirt back in December! The idea for this design popped into my head after stumbling upon a similar skirt online. The one I saw wasn't crocheted or knitted; it was actually made out of fabric. However, I was determined to put my crochet skills to the test and recreate that pattern using yarn. I couldn't wait to see if I could bring my vision to life! I have created a tutorial that explains the process using a small sample. I hope this will be helpful in following along with the written pattern.. You can find the written pattern here: MATERIALS • Yarn: Size 2, Fine (Sport) weight yarn • Crochet Hook: o 4 mm crochet hook • yarn needle for weaving in ends • Scissors • 2cm wide elastic band (it should be around 5-7cm shorter than the waist circ) Final Measurements of the Sensu Skirt Waist circ a: 63 cm Hips circ. b: 103 cm Bottom Circ. c: 144 cm Length d: 44 cm *The measurements for the waist are taken without stretching; as a reference, the model's actual waist circ. is 73 cm, and the skirt ribbing is smaller by about 10 cm; How much Yarn you will need For the Sensu Skirt, I used: Rainbow Bamboo by Hobbii Yarn; Yarn composition: 60% bamboo viscose, 40% cotton; Each ball has 100 grams and are approximately 250 meters (246 yards) Colors 02 - Natural White and 06 - Steel Grey For size Small I used: Color A (Natural White): 695 meters Color B (Steel Grey): 585 meters TENSION Using 4mm crochet hook in the Ribbing Stitch Pattern (ssblo) 10sts = 4cm 26 rows = 10cm Using a 4 mm crochet hook in mosaic st pattern (counting only the surface sts) 20sts = 10cm 10 rounds = 10cm Using a 4mm crochet hook in dc, worked flat: 16sts = 10 cm 8.5 rows = 10cm
