Looking for directions for crochet skirt

I am wanting to make a long layered crochet skirt. The peasant/boho style. I've seen ads for knitted ones, but I didn't order them because I crochet. If someone knows of a "free" knit or crochet pattern I may be able to go from there. I'm also looking for a crochet peasant top with the short puff sleeves. Both of these items were popular in the 60/70's and it is a style that both myself and my daughter in law enjoy. Thank you for any help you may have.

crochet top - crochet hippy top
gees I used wear thing like that years ago, I can't crochet or knit but i do know what you are talking about...for the skirt I think you could crochet say four or maybe six long panels that flair a little at the bottom join them up then put some sort of band at the top...for the top thingy I still have a thing that is like a top that is crochet in one piece then joined just a little at both end to put your arms through, I can't remember what they used to be called...a very hippy thing..I have put a photo in of one of the ones I have...

That is a georgous top! Thank you for sharing. That is a good idea for the skirt, I will have to try that out. Yep, hippie style is so comfy I just love it. Hubby thinks I'm silly but thats just me. Thank you for the idea and reply.

Have you tried freepatterns.com also Lion Brand yarn has many styles of free patterns. You have to register on both but it is free and so are the patterns
