Step-by-Step Pattern
1. Ribbing (Waistband)
- Make a slip knot and chain 10.
- Starting in the second chain from the hook, insert your hook and pull up a loop (2 loops on hook), yarn over, pull through both loops for a single crochet (SC).
- SC across all 10 chains.
- Chain 1, turn your work.
- For the following rows, work back loop only single crochets (BLO SC) across. Insert hook through the back loop only of each stitch, yarn over, pull through 2 loops.
- Repeat the BLO SC rows until your ribbing chain measures your waist circumference (or just below the waist), e.g., 23 inches for size XS.
2. Joining Ribbing Ends
- Chain 1 at the end of your last row.
- Align ribbing ends and join using slip stitches (SS) through the first stitch of each end simultaneously to form a loop.
- SS evenly around the seam, leaving the last stitch for a color change.
3. First Color Change and First Single Crochet Round
- Insert hook through the last stitch as usual.
- With new color yarn, pull through all loops and finish the SS.
- Chain 1.
- Into each “hole” or gap around the ribbing (spaces between stitches), place 1 SC all the way around to create defined stitches for the body.
- Join with a SS to the first SC.
4. Starting Double Crochet Rounds
- Chain 3 (counts as first DC).
- DC into the same stitch and into every stitch around.
- Join each round with SS to the top of the initial chain 3.
5. Color Change and Additional DC Rounds
- Change colors every round as desired by finishing the last stitch with the new color yarn.
- Chain 3 and DC each stitch around for each color round.
6. Increasing for Hip Shaping
- After initial rounds, count stitches and place stitch markers where your hips will be (usually sides of skirt).
- Continue double crocheting the rounds, but when you reach a stitch marker:
- Work 2 DC in that single stitch (increase).
- Continue normal DC in other stitches.
- Repeat placing markers at increase points and increase 2 DC per marker in every round until desired hip width is reached.
7. Final Rows for Tapering
- After desired hip circumference, stop increasing.
- Work a few rounds of normal DC (no increases) to taper skirt to your legs or thighs for a snug fit.
- Finish with color changes or your preferred border.
Tutor’s Suggestions
- Always try the skirt on as you work to ensure perfect fit and comfort.
- Adjust ribbing length based on waist measurements, and adjust increases based on hip size.
- Use stitch markers to mark where increases start and end for symmetry and ease.
- Color changes add personality; feel free to choose your favorite palette.
- For a less noticeable seam, join ends carefully with slip stitches in loops.

Tip
