Easy shell toddler skirt

 

 

I always wanted to make something for my daughter 

So I decided to make  a skirt. 

With all the  stitches I learned from every crocheted stuffs I made, 

I designed my own pattern although sometimes 

the problem if it will fit her or not. ( but lucky it did :) ) 

Shell stitch is always my favourite. 

This will fit 2-3 years old or you could make it bigger 

just add chain.

Here is my pattern :
