How do you crochet a mini skirt?

Handmade crochet tops, jackets and skirts are hugely popular right now, and we can see why! They're an easy way to make your wardrobe completely unique to you and learn a new skill at the same time.

We asked crochet designer and instagram star Brianna Sipp of Hooked by Brianna to show us how to make a quick and easy mini skirt using granny squares. Brianna has an amazing eye when it comes to bespoke crochet fashion pieces, and she shows us how you can hook-up your very own stylish skirt using just your stash!

A young creative based in Georgia, US, Brianna has made a name for herself online with her entrepreneurial spirit, selling bespoke crocheted garments and accessories, and sharing her fabulous finished makes on Instagram (hookedbybrianna). Making your own garments without a pattern is something we can only dream of being able to do, let alone making them to sell! However, Brianna has given us a small glimpse into her methodology by sharing her handy guide to designing and crocheting your own Granny Square Skirt.

Once you've grasped the basics of making your own granny square garments, you can really let your imagination run wild. We love all of these projects by Brianna!

A full-length granny square jacket is perfect for adding colour to a simple look, with the bonus of being able to snuggle up in it like a blanket. Choose an oversized tee for warmer weather, in subtle pastel shades. For the next step up in skill, start with a band of granny squares around your middle and add triangles to make a crop top!
