Crochet Pattern: The Ekho Set - Corset Belt, Skirt & Bustle Only

Please note this listing is for a digital crochet PDF PATTERN which will be immediately downloadable, not a finished item!

❉ What you get:

Create the Ekho corset belt with attached skirt and the detached bustle with this 21 page pattern. This listing does NOT include the matching capelet. For the full Ekho set, please see my other listings. This pattern includes a mixture of written instructions, charts and photos. *This pattern cannot be completed without the use of the charts. Key and instructions for how to read my charts are given.*

This pattern includes instructions to make the following:
- A bark corset belt made to your waist measurement, with lacing channels and moss.
- An attached lace skirt with contrast leaf tips.
- A separate bustle (skirt) with fringe edge, made to your waist measurement, which gives your silhouette shape.
- A detachable oversized bow, lotus flower and loose petals.

❉ Supplies Needed:

Yarn - all of these amounts are general guidelines as the exact amounts required will depend on your body size. Please note you may likely need more or less.
200g brown aran yarn
200g dark green DK yarn
300g dark green aran yarn
50g lighter green DK yarn
Small/scrap DK yarn in yellow, white, light pink and medium pink
Small/scrap amounts of moss yarns (recommendations given in pattern)

Recommended hooks - 5mm, 4mm and 3.5mm hooks

Notions - Yarn needle, stitch markers and measuring tape.

Advised: At least 3 metres 10mm wide double sided satin ribbon

Optional (If you would like your bow, lotus flower and petals to be detachable): 2x large (4-5cm) safety pins or blank brooch pins. Several mini safety pins (You can find 1.7-2cm safety pins at most craft stores, or even coloured ones online to match your project.)

❉ Experience Level:

This pattern was written with intermediate crafters in mind. However, I believe that an adventurous beginner who likes a creative challenge would fair reasonably well with it! Please read my FAQ for more information on the experience level required for my patterns.

I do not, however, explain how to work the basic crochet stitches used. Before beginning the pattern, you will need to know basic crochet stitches (including increase/decrease, front/back post), how to work with a magic ring and how to read a crochet chart. Instructions for how to read my charts are given.

❉ Sizing:

This pattern is made based on your own measurements, meaning that a measuring tape is essential and I recommend trying on your work as you go. A gauge is not given because you will be working to your own measurements and preferred fit.

❉ Pattern Notes:

This pattern uses US crochet terms.
