It always happens: I'm browsing around online, I see something I adore, and then I think, "why buy that when I know I can make it?" And then the next question in my head is, of course, "how the heck do I make it?" Maybe y'all can help me with this one. I found this skirt while mucking around. I know it's a pretty simple crochet lace pattern, sort of a pineapple motif, which I can do. The thing I've never been able to do is make my own patterns. I've looked around for quite a while for crochet skirt patterns, finding other must-have skirt patterns in the process (that always happens, too), but haven't found anything remotely close. Can you help? TIA!
