Behind the Design: The Sucre Corset Crochet Skirt
Some designs make me nervous in a good way because it pushes me outside of my comfort zone. I've wanted to make The Sucre Corset Crochet Skirt for a while, but I kept putting it off time and time again. Then one day, I got tired of waiting and decided to just go for it, and I'm so glad that I did. I wanted to make sure that it was form-fitting, and I needed make the holes for the ribbon just right. It took some planning, but after working through the process, I got it to where I was happy with it!
The most difficult part of making this design was the actual construction of the corset. I wanted the garment to flow in a crocheted way, so I had to be precise bout it. Since I'm using yarn, I had to bring in the sense of fabric clothing that suited a new yarn-based method. There was a trial and error process, the design was frogged and redone multiple time over months, until I got it jus the way I had hoped and imagined it.

The stitch techniques I used include the single crochet, the half-double crochet, and the double crochet. I had to analyze which parts of the corset needed what kind of stitch and it took quite a bit of experimentation, but it was worth it. They're basic stitches because I didn't want to overcomplicate the design, and learned that you can create impressive projects by relying basic methods.

I had a handful of satin ribbon in my craft stash and I took that as a sign that I needed to move forward wit the idea. I was inspired by cottagecore clothing and used thecolor “Waterfall” Pound of Love Yarn from Lion Brand to get the job done.
