Spiraling skirt crochet pattern

This skirt is a side to side pattern with perfectly spaced increases to create a spiral. The pattern is based on a 2 row repeat that when worked over and over again it creates a spiraling circle skirt that can be made in any size from tween to adult including plus sizes, just continue working the rows until of the size desired. I realize that this skirt can be confusing since there aren’t very many patterns that are like it, so I have also included a video tutorial showing the construction of the skirt to help give confidence on making the skirt.
