    Pattern for Skate Skirt - Plus Size - Crochet

    I am looking for the impossible.

    I am about a 22-24W women's dress size.

    I am back to crocheting after many years dormant. Over the years I picked up the hobby of artistic roller skating. I would love to merge both hobbies and make a crochet skate skirt.

    To get that nice taper down look, the only thing I can think of is make multiple granny squares and join them down until it tapers to one granny (Like a triangle). Since I would have to do it twice (one for back panel and front panel). It would take a very long time to workup and join.

    Does anybody have a pattern for a skate skirt that can be done as 1 or 2 pieces and joined (instead of 50 or more grannies).

    Cheers

    Hello,

    When looking for skate patterns, I did not really come up with anything which is crocheted. Here is a link which may, or may not, be helpful:
