I was super excited when I began working on the Sensu Skirt back in December! The idea for this design popped into my head after stumbling upon a similar skirt online. The one I saw wasn’t crocheted or knitted; it was actually made out of fabric. However, I was determined to put my crochet skills to the test and recreate that pattern using yarn. I couldn’t wait to see if I could bring my vision to life!
I have created a tutorial that explains the process using a small sample. I hope this will be helpful in following along with the written pattern..
You can find the written pattern here:
MATERIALS
• Yarn: Size 2, Fine (Sport) weight yarn
• Crochet Hook:
o 4 mm crochet hook
• yarn needle for weaving in ends
• Scissors
• 2cm wide elastic band (it should be around 5-7cm shorter than the waist circ)
Final Measurements of the Sensu Skirt
Waist circ a: 63 cm
Hips circ. b: 103 cm
Bottom Circ. c: 144 cm
Length d: 44 cm
*The measurements for the waist are taken without stretching; as a reference, the model’s actual waist circ. is 73 cm, and the skirt ribbing is smaller by about 10 cm;

For the Sensu Skirt, I used: Rainbow Bamboo by Hobbii Yarn; Yarn composition: 60% bamboo viscose, 40% cotton; Each ball has 100 grams and are approximately 250 meters (246 yards)
Colors 02 - Natural White and 06 - Steel Grey
For size Small I used:
Color A (Natural White): 695 meters
Color B (Steel Grey): 585 meters
