Worked in vertical panels, this eye-catching skirt has all the details a crocheter loves to see in a new project. The gores created between panels at the hemline are filled with pear-shaped motifs, the pattern is extensible for a range of sizes, and the yarn choice provides color and drape. The A-line silhouette is classic and makes for a fun twirl. Go on, get hooking!
