Difficulty Level

Top Pattern
1. Foundation Chain
- Measure your chest circumference divided by 2, subtract about 6 cm for stretch ease.
- Chain an odd number close to that measurement (e.g., 59 for an 86 cm chest divides to 37 cm chain).
- Leave a long tail to use later for finishing.
2. Row 1 (Base Row)
- Skip the first 4 chains.
- Make 1 dc in the 5th chain from the hook.
- Chain 1, skip 1 chain, make 1 sc in next chain.
- Repeat chain 1, skip 1 chain, sc across row.
- End row with 1 dc stitch if odd number of chains.
3. Row 2
- Turn work, chain 3 (counts as first dc).
- Skip the first dc of previous row.
- Chain 1, dc in next dc.
- Chain 1, dtr in next dtr stitch.
- Repeat across row.
- End with chain 1 and a double dc on the second stitch.
4. Rows 3 and Following
- Alternate rows:
- One row of all dc stitches,
- One row alternating dc and dtr stitches,
- One row of all dtr stitches.
- Repeat these three rows until desired length (e.g., 24 rows ~ 42 cm).
5. Creating Neck Opening
- Decide neck hole width (example: 25 cm).
- Work beginning stitches of row up to marker (half stitches for one side of neck).
- Chain twice the count of stitches to skip for neck width (for 20 squares, chain (20*2)-1 = 39 chains).
- Rejoin stitches after skipped area and continue to end of row.
- Work following rows normally, skipping this chain space as open neck hole.
6. Seaming and Armholes
- After finishing body, leave side seams open at armhole areas (~15 cm).
- Join front and back pieces by sewing using stitch markers and mattress stitch technique.
7. Making and Attaching Adjustable Cords
- Make two cords (about 100 cm each) for adjusting length using a knot & wrapping technique on big needle, or by chaining with two strands at once.
- Weave cords through sides of top near armhole seams or as preferred.
- Tie knots on ends for a neat finish.
Skirt Pattern
1. Foundation Row
- Chain to waist measurement (e.g., 130 cm).
- Join ends to form a circle.
2. Row 1
- Chain 2, hdc skipping the first two chains, continue with hdc around.
- Turn work.
3. Row 2 and Following
- Chain 2, work hdc in back loops only across row.
- Repeat these rows until desired skirt length is reached (e.g., 80 cm).
4. Join Ends
- Join the beginning and end of piece to form skirt tube using slip stitch.
5. Hem Edging
- Chain 4, dc, chain 1, repeat around hem.
- On next rounds, continue alternating chain stitches and double crochets for decorative edging.
6. Waist and Length Adjustment Cords
- Make three cords: one for waist and two for length adjustment (~100 cm each).
- Weave the waist cord through the top edge of the skirt.
- Weave length adjustment cords on sides spaced evenly, leaving space for tightening.
- Tie ends neatly.
Tutor's Suggestions
- Use stitch markers to mark neck openings and armholes for even shaping.
