he guys so how are you doing today we are going to be doing a skirt and um you'll be needing your yarn any yarn that you have access to if your yarn is not a medium weight make sure you make sure you double your strands for example people that use yay Yan make sure you double your strands okay and then you're going to be needing your tape maybe maybe not maybe you know your measurements I don't know and scissors and pain for this I'm going to be using pin 5 mm this is pin H or8 so it's a big pin so I'm going to be using this big pin because it's a long skir okay and you need two two colors of yarn for this you need two colors of Y I'm going to be using green and yellow you can alternate your colors as you want so this is men day it is um 390 seven yards which is 363 M it's 7 o very heavy not very heavy medium weight okay so you can use anything similar to this or this if you can find it you can find this in the US Walmart so I'm going to start by making the first panel of the skirt it's a skirt a long skir and um I'll start from up to down so first I have taking my measurement round my waist is 31 in so I'm going to do 15 15 for the front and for the back okay that's 30 in front and back then I'll complete it so now I'm going to do 15 in of chains Okay so we've gotten our 15 in Chains and uh we are just going going to make our first so now I'm just going to make my three chains as my first um double crochet and double crochet on the fourth chain okay so I skip three at the beginning then I double crochet on the fourth chain and now I'm just going to put double crochet on each of these chain stitches till the end so double crochet double crochet okay I'm at the end and um it's quite simple I'm just going to do three chains that's three chains and out turn you're not adding or reducing you're just going to do till you get to the end again with double crochet stitches this is the waist region and you're going to increase just at the hip region which you would also decrease when you get to the ties that's the knee regions okay um I'm saying this because I might not really really show you guys in details I might but I might not so this is the west region we are going to continue like this for at least 5 in before we start increasing scantily and we are going to do two panels of this um skirts so this is the front panel we also do the back panel which is absolutely the same you can decide to increase more for the back panel if the bom bom or the back side of the person is um bigger than the front side but I would just say that you do the same thing for the front and the back so for now I'm just going to keep doing this when I get to the end when I get to the end I'll just do three chains and I'll turn back and come to this other side zigzags zigzag till I get like five four to five Ines then I'll start increasing and I'll show you guys how I I increase okay so um this is how far I have come I did not increase I have not increased and this is like 7 in or 7 and 1 half but now I want to tell you something you have a choice to increase or not because when stretched it's actually you know you can actually this can go to your hip like it can pass through your hip depending on how big your hip is you see I started with 15 I started with 15 or let's say 16 and right now this place is like 18 or 19 and when stretched it is actually more than that it's already like 20 and I have not increased it's just because this is chain so when you keep going the stitches are bigger than the the chain you understand so it automatically makes this place bigger we have a choice my waist is 32 and 16 + 16 is 32 that means the waist is okay if I should make two panels of this is going to be perfect right so um my hip is 42 we have 20 here like um the length of this is 20 so I have a choice to increase or not increase in this case I might not I would not increase okay but I want to explain something to you so that you can understand that okay yeah you can increase if you want this is a size large okay this is a large size for those that are doing small size for a medium size with a Weist of 27 how to do a medium size start with 27 waist okay that means your first chain would be around 13 13 or 13 and 1/2 in that means your your startup chain will be from here to here okay 13 in or 13 and 1/2 Ines and then you keep going now when you get to this level where you're getting to your hip and you started small like this make sure you increase how do you increase you increase on one row twice you increase like here and here and then the next row do not increase then the second row after the one you do not increase increase one you do that for like eight rows that means you're increasing for four different rows but keeping one row without increasing so for like example if you want to increase on this row you increase here and here for example canly then the next row you're not increasing then the next row where you want to increase you're not increasing yet and yet again you're increasing at the middle because it did not increase at the middle then the next row you're not increasing while the other row row you're increasing twice again then the next row you're not increasing then the other row you increase once again and that would be enough okay that will make the Heap to be Coffey and then you have to reduce when you start getting to the to the knee length the knee length you start reducing and when you want to reduce you reduce the same way you added that means you reduce on two rows the next row don't reduce the other one you you in you reduce your you understand so for me I will not be increasing I'll just be going if I want to increase I'll just increase once or twice on two different rows skipping one row I don't know if you guys understand what I'm saying but what I'm saying is that this stretches and this can enter my waist so I have no reason to increase so I'm just going to keep going so when I want to reduce I would reduce okay okay guys so this is how long I have made it and um it's 16 in right now I'm going to start reducing like I said I did not increase but I'm going to reduce I do not increase like I said because this place expands more than the waist so I still have that c that I'm looking for so when I wear it definitely it's going to be the way I want it I want it to to be so now I'm going to reduce but I'm going to reduce on just like three rows when I say rows you already know this is a row this is a row this is a row okay so now I'll reduce on this next row I'm going just one place I don't know if I should do it [Music] now so uh I'm going to reduce right here and then the next row I would not reduce then the next one I'll reduce into places so I'm at the middle and now I'm just going to reduce here by doing double crochet without completing it I have two left and still going on the next one to do double crochet that way I have made two Stitch to become one and I'll just take it and I'm just going to that do that for just that place and I'll just crochet till I get the end normally double crochet to the end so now I have reduced here and you can basically not see where I just you cannot see what I just did I just turned this one and this one to be one stitch and that's just one for you then the next one I would not reduce that's because this is not too big and it's not too small if this place was too wide for example if my waist was like if my hip was was 48 and my waist is 37 okay like for those of you that are doing 26 waist and your hip is like 42 that means your waist will be this small and your Hep needs to be this big then when you have to reduce okay you have to reduce then you have to reduce aggressively that means you have to reduce at least two on a particular row and two on the next row just like that you understand what I'm saying but because it's not that bad I'm just I can decide to just do it straight without increasing or reducing it's still going to be fine so these are the basic rules I'm just going to go ahead and complete it till the end hey guys so this is how far I have come and you can see the Shipe forming already you can see this place is smaller than this side which shows that this side is the up and this side is the down so in total right now I have um 34 the length is 34 and I think um a full length of a long skirt is like 40 but because this stret I think we are almost there so now to end it I'm going to make two more rows but for the two more rows I want to show you guys what I do for um okay so I want to show you guys what I'm going to do for this tomorrows now at the beginning I want to make how do I even explain I want it to be I don't want it to be a sharp V at this end or a sharp V at this end of the skirt okay I want it to be round so because of that I'm going to reduce at this end for the next two row Rose I'm going to turn and reduce one two and I'm reducing right there now when I'm coming back then I'm going to crochet till I get to this end see I have reduced here so I'm going to crochet till I get to this end then I'll reduce to so I'm three places to the end and now I'm just going to to reduce here and yeah making this one two space to be one space one don't complete it two then you complete everything together then you go and look it up with the double crochet now if I leave it like this it's not going to what I want to achieve is not going to show so what I need to do now is I'm going to do single chain a chain and now I'm going to do single crochet right here another single crochet then I'll start with my double crochet so I did two single crochet at the edge then I started with a double crochet so two single crochet at this end and two single crochet at this other end too remember we did one chain then we go to the next one we did single crochet single crochet okay so this one stitch Two Stitch and three stitch are all single crochet so this first one that we did one chain that's our first single crochet so when we get to this end we are going to do three single crochet at the end so I'm three spaces to the end one two three and um the chain would make it four so I'm going to make my first um my last um double crochet then I'll go single crochet single crochet single crochet so now I'm going to stop right here I can decide to go back but if I want to go back at this point I'll still do single crochet single crochet single crochet till like here before I start that let me show you what I'm saying so if you decide to go back I mean you can do just these things that I have shown you and you can end it here but if you decide to go back don't start with um double crochets start with single crochets so we're going to do single crochet one 2 and the single crochet will be more than the other ones you did that means one 2 three and four and now you can continue with your double crochet so now I'm going to continue doing double crochet till I get to this end then um since I did 1 2 3 4 five single crochet I'm going to do 1 2 3 4 5 six single crochet at this other end okay so I'm at the end right now and um I'm like five to six steps till the end and I'm going to do my single crochets so I'm going single crochet single crochet single crochet right here single crochet there too and there then the last one being the chain our single crochet on it okay so that's done you can see the side is is somehow you might not see it right now but you see it later so um now we are going to work on the sides okay this is the sides and just want to make sure you guys are seeing so I'm going to put single crochets in this place but two single crochet for each rows okay so um remember that each row is actually three single crochet yeah three single crochet when you're turn but I usually put two single crochet and where I feel like okay I need to put three single crochet I put it but you don't have to necessarily put three single crochet for all of this you can put for some but don't put for all so now I'm just going to do single crochet in the next Stitch single crochet in the next Stitch two single crochet in the next Stitch move to the next and do single crochet so I'm going to do this this round even till yeah you don't necessarily need to do for the waist but I'm going to do round even for the waist then I'll come back here and do the same thing right here single crochets then you need two panels of this this is the this can be the front or the back so you need two panels of this so that you can join them together and the SK will be ready I'll show you when I want to join them and what I'll do to join them okay so this is how far we've come and um it's like like 34 to 35 in long it's 35 in long and um right now I'm just going to this is the top okay and this is the down side this is the waist and this is the leg side so I'll just put in my other color at the waist region and I'll do a double crochet down but remember we've already done single crochet on it like this to make it smooth so I'll put in my color where P okay I'll put in my color right here this is the waist remember so I would um crochet double crochet on all the stitches without increasing or decreasing so three chains as my first double crochet then double crochet down so I'm going to do double crochet down like this from here down even until here round back to this place okay so I have done my double crochet round I started from the waist and I moved down I started from the waist and I moved down I went round and this is done so the next thing I'm going to do right now is to do single crochet from here down to this place now you have a choice to close it up all with single crochet but I decided to end like 2 in before the end just because that is how I like it okay so you can decide to close it all up but for personal preference I decided to do it till so maybe 2 in to the end so I'm just going to put in my yarn I'm still using my big pin pin 5.5 and I'm just going to put in my yarn of the color I want to use and I'll make single crochet on all the stitches without increasing so single crochet on all the stitches down on both side so so I'll make this single crochet I'll make it down to this place then I also do the same thing for this side okay and remember that we have two panels of this so whatever you're doing on this side you're doing on the other panels because you're going to join it so we are working on two sides of this this thing is supposed to be two panels okay so you have to do this two times so this is single crochet down to the foot from the waist place down on all the sides guys so we've made two sides of the same thing like I said earlier and now we are just going to join them with single crochet stitch so you join them with the back you know when you're sewing something you have to make sure that it's the back you're sewing so I'm going to join the sides the green Parts where I did from top to the down that is the only place I would join okay so I'm putting in my yarn my hook I'm using small pin because that's what is going to be easier for me I cannot use the fat pin with a fat head and be choking everywhere it's going to stress me out so so just put it in and do a single crochet like that and I'm going to just watch carefully take from one side and take from the other side and join it together take from one side take from the other side and join them together with a single crochet I'm going to do this till the end one side and and the other side so I'm taking just one Loop each from each side so this side I'll will take one Loop this side I'll take one Loop two and I'll join them together so I'm going to join the side together down and this other side together down and our skets will be ready and work on the waist people so I have joined it and this is how it looks right now so now the the stuff the waist is very big and I don't like it so I'm just going to use I I didn't want to use elastic but that have resulted to me using um elastic so I just I'm just going to use my elastic like this um this elastic is my size you see it's an elastic so it stretches doesn't need to be like you know so um I'm going to sew this thing or this needle okay so I'm just going to crochet around this elastic so I'll drop this out and in this case I'll would use green for the waist instead of yellow like I did for the SK or for the blue so I'm just going to do this so it's all single crochet round the elastic this is not an easy part but it is very nice when you complete it so you just put in your yarn and put in your wuk and taking your yarn that's just it put in your hook take out your yarn take out your yarn and put in your hook take out your yarn take out your yarn and that's just it you just do this round the elastic make it until it's very thick that you cannot see you can no longer see the elastic so that's just what we are going to do right here okay guys so we are at the final part of this and we are just going to put I'm just going to put this um band on this C okay so we just have to do it from the back side because I cannot crochet like this is the front side so you have to turn it you have to turn your work bring your waist up it's the back side now so you turn this other one to the back side and you put in your PIN anywhere you you can start it anywhere okay you put in your PIN like this and you take out this Yar the yarn that you're using to crochet and you bring it out so we are going to do single crochet from this side to the side single crochet so we are taking single crochet here that means you're taking from here and from the band one from the band and one one from the SK um this thing but one thing you need to remember is that this place is long but this place is short but the number of stitches that entered in this place can actually fit this place so in most cases there's no need for you to skip like there's no need for you to twist it like this and put it in one place okay because the goal is to stretch okay the goal is to stretch and bring it back so you have to put one stitch you have to take one stitch from here and the other one stitch from the other side you're not multiplying you're not reducing you're just doing the same thing so that's just it I'm just going to go ahead and put this thing the way I'm already doing doing you can see this side there's no Stitch this thing here there's no uh how do I even call it there's no knobs yeah yeah you have to just like use your head okay it's difficult on this side more than it is on this side that you have stitches and knobs here you can see the Stitch and the knobs here but this place there's no Stitch and knob but you already know that here is three because one 2 three is long enough for three this is like two and this ones are one one you understand what I'm saying so that is it so we're going to go one here go to the next place one because that's a double crochet double crochet is three three um knobs that's three stitches for a double crochet while these other ones are just one one you just take everything I'm taking everything but you can take just one one um chain but because it's the waist I want it to be thick and strong I don't want the Rope to cut or anything so I'm thinking everything when I say everything the whole Stitch you know each Stitch have front and back Loop so I'm taking the two loopes from both side two loopes from both Sid side so two loopes here two loopes on this other side I'm taking everything so yeah that's it for this kit I'll just go now and do it like this like I am doing you can see I'll do it completely and this SK will be ready I'll wear it and show you guys hi guys so this is how it looks what you guys think it's perfect so yeah this is it thank you so much for watching see you in my next video bye don't forget to like and
