Crochet a Granny Square Skirt-save a bundle

Posted on August 18, 2011 by ehdknits

I spotted this Christopher Kane crochet skirt in the July issue of Elle. It can be yours for a mere $1300

or you can have the cashmere version for about $2000:

I would happily work up one of these in your choice of yarn and colour at a huge savings, or do it yourself and save a fortune. Please send me any pics of your creations…….
