Step-by-Step Instructions:
Step 1: Take Measurements
- Hip circumference (important for fitting)
- Waist size
- Length from upper waist to floor (desired skirt length)
Step 2: Color Sequence Setup
- Choose a main color (Color 1) and a secondary color (Color 2)
- The color repeat pattern (10-row sequence):
- 4 rows Color 1
- 2 rows Color 2
- 1 row Color 1
- 1 row Color 2
- 1 row Color 1
- 1 row Color 2
- Repeat this sequence until the skirt reaches your hip circumference.
Step 3: Foundation Chain
- Using the main color and the larger hook (e.g., 3.5mm), make a foundation chain.
- Chain length = Waist to floor measurement.
- Chain loosely without stretching; the skirt shrinks slightly during work.
- Chain count should be a multiple of 4 + 1.
Step 4: Row 1 (Foundation Row)
- Start in the 4th chain from hook.
- Work 1 double crochet (dc).
- Chain 1, skip 1 chain, 3 dc in next 3 chains.
- Repeat chain 1, skip 1, 3 dc in next 3 across the row.
- End with a chain 4, turn your work.
Step 5: Row 2
- Skip first 2 stitches.
- Work 3 dc in the chain-1 space.
- Chain 1.
- Continue 3 dc in each chain-1 space.
- End the row with 1 dc in last stitch.
- Turn.
Step 6: Rows 3 & 4
- Row 3: Chain 3, 2 dc in first chain space, chain 1, 3 dc in each chain space, end with 3 dc in stitch to keep edge straight.
- Row 4: Repeat Row 2 pattern.
- After Row 4, cut yarn and knot.
Step 7: Weaving in Ends (Tail Hiding)
- Pull yarn tail through last stitch, then weave tail through 2-3 granny clusters (not over sc because of gaps).
- Stop weaving in ends at a chain space.
- Continue with next color.
Step 8: Working with Color 2
- Join Color 2 at corner chain space.
- Knot securely.
- Repeat Rows 2 and 3 patterns for 2 rows.
- Weave in ends similarly.
- Follow color sequence across rows repeating until reaching hip circumference.
Step 9: Repeat Color Sequence
- Continue working the 10-row color pattern:
- 4 rows Color 1
- 2 rows Color 2
- 1 row Color 1
- 1 row Color 2
- 1 row Color 1
- 1 row Color 2
- Ensure to measure around hip for proper fit.
- Weave in yarn ends as you go to prevent loose ends.
Step 10: Bottom Edging
- Using main color and same hook, work 2 rows of single crochet (sc) around the bottom edge.
- Work 2 sc in each stitch to create a neat edge.
- End with slip stitch and fasten off.
Step 11: Seaming the Skirt
- Fold skirt with right sides facing.
- Use mattress stitch with a tapestry needle to seam one side.
- Leave a 14-inch slit for ease of movement (mark with a stitch marker).
- Stitch seam from top down to slit mark.
- Turn skirt right side out.
Step 12: Waist Ribbing
- Change to smaller hook (e.g., 2.5mm).
- Join yarn at seam to start ribbing.
- Work 2 rounds of single crochet around waist (2 sc in each row stitch).
- Slip stitch to join rounds.
Step 13: Waist Decrease and Ribbing Texture
- Next round: chain 1, dc, dc decrease over next 2 stitches repeat around, slip stitch to join.
- Following round:
- Chain 1, dc in same stitch, fpdc (front post double crochet) in next stitch.
- Alternate dc and fpdc around.
- Repeat this ribbed pattern for 5 rows total.
Step 14: Waist Finishing Options
Option 1: Drawstring
- Make a chain twice your waist size.
- Thread chain through third row of ribbing (starting at center back).
- Tie ends or make a bow.
Option 2: Elastic Band (Recommended)
- Measure elastic to your waist.
- Place elastic on wrong side at ribbing.
- Crochet single crochet over the elastic and stitches all around.
- End by tying a double knot on elastic, weave in ends.
- Stretch elastic slightly before securing for a snug fit.
Step 15: Final Weaving and Cleanup
- Weave in all loose ends securely.
- Trim any tails popping out.
- Turn skirt right side out.
- Adjust drawstring or elastic for comfort.
Tutor's Suggestions:
- Always use stitch markers for measuring and marking seam edges.
- Weave in ends at chain spaces for a clean look.
- Use the smaller hook on ribbing for a tight and neat waist finish.
- Choose yarn colors that complement your wardrobe.
- Adjust length and slit size per personal preference.
Uses:
This skirt is perfect for casual or special occasions, providing comfort with a flattering fit. Its stretchy ribbed waist and dynamic color blocks make it versatile and fashion-forward.
Tip:
Do NOT stretch the foundation chain excessively, as the fabric will naturally shrink while crocheting, ensuring proper length without stress on stitches.
