Welcome to the blog, my lovely crocheters! I’m thrilled to share a brand new, beautifully textured skirt pattern that is surprisingly easy to master. Inspired by the charming, breezy design of a recent tutorial, I’ve developed this detailed guide for a light, lacy skirt I’m calling “The Aura Skirt.”<\/p>\n\n\n\n

This pattern features a stunning three-round repeat that creates a delicate shell and cluster effect, perfect for warm weather or layering. Get ready to create a piece that looks incredibly complex but flows effortlessly off your hook!<\/p>\n\n\n\n

    Part 1: The Foundation and Waistline<\/strong><\/h4>\n\n\n\n

    Round 1: Initial Chain<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

      \n
    1. Chain 110<\/strong> chains. (For a larger size, chain a length that comfortably fits around the desired waist\/hip, ensuring the final number of chain loops in Round 2 will be a multiple of four.)<\/em><\/li>\n\n\n\n
    2. Carefully ensure the chain is not twisted.<\/li>\n\n\n\n
    3. Join with a SS<\/strong> into the very first chain to form a ring.<\/li>\n<\/ol>\n\n\n\n

      Round 2: Foundation Chain Loops<\/p>\n\n\n\n

      This round sets up the placement for the shell stitches.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

        \n
      1. Ch 1<\/strong>, make 1 SC<\/strong> into the same stitch.<\/li>\n\n\n\n
      2. Ch 3<\/strong>.<\/li>\n\n\n\n
      3. Skip 2<\/strong> chains in the foundation ring, and make 1 SC<\/strong> in the next chain.<\/li>\n\n\n\n
      4. Repeat the sequence (Ch 3, skip 2, SC)<\/strong> all the way around the ring.<\/li>\n\n\n\n
      5. You must have a number of Chain 3 loops that is a multiple of four<\/strong>.<\/li>\n\n\n\n
      6. Join with a SS<\/strong> to the starting SC<\/strong>.<\/li>\n<\/ol>\n\n\n\n
        \"\"<\/figure>\n\n\n\n

        Part 2: The Main Lace Motif (3-Round Repeat)<\/strong><\/h4>\n\n\n\n

        The entire length of the skirt is built by repeating Rounds 3, 4, and 5, with Round 6 serving as a transition to shift the pattern.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

        Round 3: The Shell Round<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

          \n
        1. SS<\/strong> into the first Ch 3 loop\/arch.<\/li>\n\n\n\n
        2. Ch 3<\/strong> (counts as 1 DC). Make 6 DC<\/strong> into the same Ch 3 loop (total of 7 DC, forming the shell).<\/li>\n\n\n\n
        3. SC<\/strong> into the next Ch 3 loop.<\/li>\n\n\n\n
        4. Ch 3<\/strong>, SC<\/strong> into the next Ch 3 loop.<\/li>\n\n\n\n
        5. Ch 3<\/strong>, SC<\/strong> into the next Ch 3 loop. (This creates two small arches between your shells.)<\/em><\/li>\n\n\n\n
        6. In the next Ch 3 loop, repeat the shell: 7 DC<\/strong>.<\/li>\n\n\n\n
        7. Repeat the sequence (7 DC shell, SC, Ch 3, SC, Ch 3, SC)<\/strong> all the way around.<\/li>\n\n\n\n
        8. Join with a SS<\/strong> to the top of the initial Ch 3<\/strong>.<\/li>\n<\/ol>\n\n\n\n

          Round 4: The Separated Double Crochet Round<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

            \n
          1. Ch 4<\/strong> (Ch 3 for the DC, plus Ch 1 for separation).<\/li>\n\n\n\n
          2. In the next DC, make (DC, Ch 1)<\/strong>.<\/li>\n\n\n\n
          3. Repeat (DC, Ch 1)<\/strong> in each of the remaining 6 DC stitches from the shell below. (You will have 7 DCs each separated by a Ch 1 space).<\/li>\n\n\n\n
          4. Skip the first Ch 3 arch. SC<\/strong> into the center Ch 3 arch.<\/li>\n\n\n\n
          5. Ch 3<\/strong>, SC<\/strong> into the same center Ch 3 arch.<\/li>\n\n\n\n
          6. Repeat the shell section on the next group: (DC, Ch 1) 7 times<\/strong>.<\/li>\n\n\n\n
          7. Repeat this sequence all the way around.<\/li>\n\n\n\n
          8. Join with a SS<\/strong> to the 3rd chain of the initial Ch 4<\/strong>.<\/li>\n<\/ol>\n\n\n\n

            Round 5: The Cluster (Punto Pi\u00f1a) Round<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

              \n
            1. SS<\/strong> into the first Ch 1 space.<\/li>\n\n\n\n
            2. Ch 2<\/strong>. Make 2 incomplete DC, then close all 3 loops together (Cluster Stitch).<\/li>\n\n\n\n
            3. Ch 2<\/strong>.<\/li>\n\n\n\n
            4. In the next Ch 1 space, repeat the (Cluster, Ch 2)<\/strong> sequence.<\/li>\n\n\n\n
            5. Repeat this across the shell section for a total of 6 Clusters<\/strong>.<\/li>\n\n\n\n
            6. Ch 2<\/strong>.<\/li>\n\n\n\n
            7. SC<\/strong> into the single Ch 3 arch from the previous round.<\/li>\n\n\n\n
            8. Ch 2<\/strong>.<\/li>\n\n\n\n
            9. Repeat the (Cluster, Ch 2)<\/strong> sequence across the next shell section.<\/li>\n\n\n\n
            10. Repeat this sequence all the way around.<\/li>\n\n\n\n
            11. Join with a SS<\/strong> to the top of the first Cluster<\/strong>.<\/li>\n<\/ol>\n\n\n\n

              Round 6: The Transition\/Shifting Round<\/p>\n\n\n\n

              This round uses larger chain loops to offset the placement of the next shell repeat.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

                \n
              1. SS<\/strong> over to the next Ch 2 space.<\/li>\n\n\n\n
              2. Ch 1<\/strong>, SC<\/strong> in the same space.<\/li>\n\n\n\n
              3. Ch 5<\/strong>, SC<\/strong> in the next Ch 2 space.<\/li>\n\n\n\n
              4. Ch 5<\/strong>, skip the next Ch 2 space, SC<\/strong> in the following space.<\/li>\n\n\n\n
              5. Ch 5<\/strong>, SC<\/strong> in the next Ch 2 space. (This gives you 3 Ch 5 loops over the Cluster section.)<\/em><\/li>\n\n\n\n
              6. Ch 5<\/strong>, SC<\/strong> into the SC stitch between the shell groups.<\/li>\n\n\n\n
              7. Repeat the sequence (Ch 5, SC)<\/strong> across the next Cluster group, aiming to create 3 Ch 5 loops over the shell section and 1 Ch 5 loop over the previous arch section.<\/li>\n\n\n\n
              8. The next Shell group will be worked into the middle<\/strong> Chain 5 loop of the three loops created in this round.<\/li>\n\n\n\n
              9. Join with a SS<\/strong> to the first SC<\/strong>.<\/li>\n<\/ol>\n\n\n\n

                Repeat for Length<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

                  \n
                • Repeat Rounds 3, 4, and 5<\/strong> until the skirt reaches the desired length.<\/li>\n\n\n\n
                • Remember that the shell (Round 3) will always be worked into the center Chain 5 loop from the previous Transition Round (Round 6).<\/li>\n\n\n\n
                • The tutorial suggests working approximately 5 full ‘hileras’<\/strong> (repeats of the 3-round motif).<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n
                  \"\"<\/figure>\n\n\n\n

                  Optional Edging (Final Row)<\/p>\n\n\n\n

                  For a soft, delicate bottom edge:<\/p>\n\n\n\n

                    \n
                  1. Ch 1<\/strong>, SC<\/strong> in the first loop.<\/li>\n\n\n\n
                  2. Ch 3<\/strong>, SC<\/strong> in the next loop.<\/li>\n\n\n\n
                  3. Repeat (Ch 3, SC)<\/strong> around the entire bottom edge.<\/li>\n\n\n\n
                  4. Join with a SS<\/strong> and fasten off.<\/li>\n<\/ol>\n\n\n\n

                    Part 3: The Elastic Waistband (Pretina)<\/strong><\/h4>\n\n\n\n

                    The waistband is created with a ribbed effect using slip stitches in the back loop, offering beautiful stretch and detail.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

                      \n
                    1. Preparation (Optional):<\/strong> Work a round of SC<\/strong> around the top edge of the skirt to create a neat base for the ribbing.<\/li>\n\n\n\n
                    2. Start Ribbing:<\/strong> Ch 10<\/strong> (This determines the width of your waistband. For a wider band, chain more; for a narrower band, chain less).<\/li>\n\n\n\n
                    3. Starting in the 2nd chain<\/strong> from the hook, work a SS<\/strong> in the back loop only of each chain back down toward the skirt edge (you should have 9 SS).<\/li>\n\n\n\n
                    4. SS<\/strong> into the next stitch on the skirt’s waistline.<\/li>\n\n\n\n
                    5. SS<\/strong> into the following stitch on the skirt’s waistline (2 SS into the skirt total).<\/li>\n\n\n\n
                    6. Turn<\/strong> your work.<\/li>\n\n\n\n
                    7. Skip the 2 slip stitches you just made into the skirt.<\/li>\n\n\n\n
                    8. Working in the back loop only<\/strong> of the previous ribbing row, SS into each of the 9 stitches.<\/li>\n\n\n\n
                    9. Ch 1<\/strong>, Turn<\/strong> your work.<\/li>\n\n\n\n
                    10. Working in the back loop only<\/strong>, SS<\/strong> into each of the 9 stitches.<\/li>\n\n\n\n
                    11. Repeat steps 4-10 all the way around the waistline, moving along the skirt one section at a time.<\/li>\n\n\n\n
                    12. Once you reach the beginning, seam the first and last rows of ribbing together using a slip stitch seam.<\/li>\n<\/ol>\n\n\n\n
