DESIGN INSPIRATION
The weather here in PNW has been a little bit warmer than usual this Fall and I thought how nice it would be to make a long crochet skirt that can be worn multiple times throughout the season. So I figured a long bohemian aka boho skirt would make the perfect wardrobe add-on!
I also wanted to have a long skirt that is versatile and can be worn to the beach, to that outdoor festival, or just to a brunch date.
This skirt is easily adjustable and also comes in 9 all-inclusive sizes.

CONSTRUCTION
This skirt is constructed top down using the Arrowhead Cable Stitch Pattern for some structure and dimension.
I wanted to use a lightweight yarn for this pattern to reduce the weight of the skirt, hence I thought this lovely crochet thread by Aunt Lydia’s would offer a perfect finish. And due to the size of the thread, a 2.5mm crochet hook was used to complete the entire skirt.
And here’s a heads up before making this pattern, it does require a good amount of your time plus a lot of repetitive stitching – which in my case is not a bad thing at all. It is almost therapeutic, and some people do find peace and comfort while working on bigger crochet projects such as this.
The Arrowhead Cable stitch pattern uses a few basic stitches such as the Single Crochet, Double Crochet, and Treble Crochet Stitch. I also added a touch of Picot to the edging to jazz it up a bit.
Check out this other Free pattern I made using the Arrowhead Cable Stitch pattern as well.
This Crochet Bohemian Skirt pattern also comes Ad Free with a full step-by-step picture-guided PDF file and video tutorial to guide you throughout the entire process.
