Step-by-Step Pattern
Part 1: Making the Daisy Granny Squares
- Prepare 10 Daisy Granny Squares according to BR Crochet’s separate granny square tutorial.
- Each square features clusters of 4 double crochets with chain spaces forming daisy patterns.
- Squares should be consistent in size for a uniform skirt.
Part 2: Joining the Granny Squares
- Lay squares flat in your desired skirt arrangement.
- Join squares at edges by working one double crochet (dc) into corresponding stitches of adjoining squares.
- At corners, work 4 dc, chain 2, 4 dc clusters into corner spaces for a smooth join.
- Between clusters, work 1 dc into every stitch.
- Work around edges to connect squares, forming the full skirt panel.
- Continue joining all 10 squares similarly.
Part 3: Constructing the Waistband
- Work around the skirt top edge:
- Into each corner space, work 4 dc, chain 2, 4 dc clusters.
- Into every other stitch, work 1 double crochet.
- Join rounds with slip stitches, chain 2 to start new rows.
- Work back and forth if needed, maintaining the established pattern of clusters and stitches around the waist.
Part 4: Shaping the Waist with Decreases
- Measure your waist circumference. Starting with the waistband length (e.g., 32 in).
- To decrease the waist to your measurement (e.g., 26 in), perform decreases as follows:
- Alternate front post double crochet (fpdc) and back post double crochet (bpdc) stitches around waistband.
- For decreases, work fpdc stitches over two stitches instead of one to “combine” stitches and reduce width.
- Continue working rounds with decreases whenever needed until desired waist fit is reached.
Part 5: Finishing Touches – Drawstring
- Make a long chain to serve as a drawstring, long enough to go around your waist and tie comfortably.
- Thread the drawstring through eyelets created by chain spaces in the waistband.
- Secure ends and weave in yarn tails neatly inside the skirt.
- Trim any excess yarn.
Measurements to Note
- Completed hips: approximately 32 in unstretched, stretching to around 40-42 in.
- Waist circumference after decreases: adjustable (example given 26 in).
- Skirt length depends on granny square size and row count.
Tutor’s Suggestions
- Use stitch markers to identify decrease points to maintain symmetry.
- Choose cotton or cotton-blend yarn for breathable, comfortable wear.
- Blocking granny squares before joining helps them lie flat and neat.
- Adjust the number of granny squares or rows for your desired skirt length and fullness.
Useful Tip
Consistently joining granny squares with the same technique ensures a strong, uniform fabric. When threading your drawstring, avoid pulling too tight to maintain comfort and adjustability.
Conclusion
This Daisy Granny Square skirt beautifully showcases classic crochet techniques with a fresh, wearable design. The blend of double crochet clusters, thoughtful shaping, and eco-friendly yarn use makes this a favorite project for those looking to make timeless, comfortable crochet clothing.
