Pineapple Elegance

A long, fitted skirt in lace weight yarn sounds ambitious—until you realize this one is worked in a single piece from the top down, with shaping built right into the design. Pineapple Elegance gently increases through the hips before tapering into a sleek, figure-skimming silhouette. The pineapple lace border at the hem is the finishing touch—a nod to vintage technique that elevates the whole piece.

Once the body is complete, the covered elastic waistband is crocheted directly onto the top—no separate pieces, no seaming. This is the kind of project that looks far more complicated than it actually is.

Pair it with a denim jacket and boots, or dress it up with heels for an evening out. Either way, you made that.
