The skirt is worked from the top without seams (except for the skirt's waist band, which is worked back and forth).

With GY chain 60 sts.
Rows 1-3: ch 3 (counts for the first dc), 59 dc
Fold the strip lengthwise, connect the long edges with sc - for this insert the hook in the sts from both edges and draw the yarn through sts on both edges. Work to the end of the strip to get a tube.
Join in a circle with a slip stitch. Continue to work in rounds.
At the end of each round, join with a slip stitch, but do not turn.

Round 1: ch 3 (counts as dc), dc in the same st as chain, 2 dc in every st. of the round = 120 sts
Change the yarn to PV and work 6 rounds 120 dc in each round.
Round 7: ch 3, *2 dc in the st of the previous round, 1 dc in the next st repeat from * across the round. = 180 dc
Round 8: ch 3, 179 dc. Work 8 rounds like 8th round = 180 dc.
Rounds 9-16: repeat round 8. Work rounds 9, 12-16 with PB and rounds 10-11 with GY.
Round 17: change yarn to GY, 180 sc across the round.
Round 18: ch3, 179 dc across the round.
