At 35 I've finally taught myself to crochet! I successfully made this skirt and it's matching sweater. My gauge wasn't perfect, but the items will fit the Girls 'n Grace doll for my little neice. Thank you for easy to understand directions.

I love this skirt, but when I used 60 ch for the waist band, it was way too small. What did I do wrong?
