Hook and Notions

Step-by-Step Instructions

Important Notes

Worked in continuous rounds (spiral) unless otherwise stated. Do not join at the end of rounds.
Use a stitch marker to mark the beginning of each round. Move it up as you work.
All stitches are single crochet (sc) unless specified otherwise.
When changing colors, complete the last stitch of the old color, then pull the new color through the last two loops to finish the stitch. Carry the unused yarn loosely along the inside of the work.

Finishing

Fold the top edge (the magic ring end) down about 1 inch to create a rolled hem. Sew in place with a few stitches using the yarn needle and matching yarn. The skirt is now ready to slip over a standard toilet roll. The scalloped edge will flare out at the bottom, creating a playful, comic-style silhouette.

Weave in all remaining ends securely. Block lightly if desired to even out stitches, though the cotton yarn will hold its shape well.
