Step-by-Step Instructions
1. Making the Foundation Chain
- Make a slip knot.
- Create a chain that stretches easily around your hip size.
- The total number of chains must be even.
2. Joining the Chain to Work in the Round
- Slip stitch into the very first chain to form a circle.
3. Round 1
- Chain 4 (counts as 1 double crochet + 1 chain).
- Skip 1 chain, double crochet in the next chain, chain 1.
- Repeat skip 1 chain, double crochet, chain 1 all the way around until one chain is left.
- To finish the round, chain 1, skip the last chain, and slip stitch into the 3rd chain of the beginning chain 4.
4. Round 2
- Chain 4 (counts as one double crochet + chain 1).
- Double crochet in the next stitch, chain 1.
- Repeat double crochet, chain 1 around.
- Finish with chain 1 and slip stitch into 3rd chain of beginning chain 4.
5. Round 3
- Repeat Round 2.
- Continue repeating Round 2 continuously until the skirt reaches your desired length before the slit starts (from waist down to desired slit height).
6. Forming the Slit
First Row of Slit:
- Slip stitch into the next chain-1 space.
- Slip stitch into the next stitch.
- Chain 4.
- Double crochet in the next stitch, chain 1.
- Double crochet in the next stitch, chain 1.
- Continue double crochet, chain 1 across until one stitch before the beginning chain 4 of the previous row.
- This creates the slit opening.
7. Working the Slit Rows
- Chain 4, turn.
- Skip one stitch.
- Double crochet in the next stitch, chain 1.
- Repeat double crochet, chain 1 until two stitches remain.
- Chain 1, skip next stitch, double crochet in the last stitch.
- This reduces one stitch at the beginning and the end to accentuate the slit.
- For all following rows, chain 4, turn, double crochet in next stitch, chain 1 across the row to the last stitch, chain 1, double crochet in last stitch.
- Repeat this row until the slit reaches your desired length.
8. Neatening the Slit Edge
- Make sure the number of rows in the slit section is an odd number for neat edges.
- Turn your work up the slit.
- Chain 1.
- Place 2 double crochets in each double crochet space up the slit.
- Place a slip stitch into the middle stitch (the original chain 4 stitch forming the slit).
- Turn the work to the other side of the slit.
- Place 2 double crochets in each double crochet space down the other side of the slit.
- Chain 1 and fasten off.
9. Waist Tie
- Chain about 250 stitches for the waist tie or adjust based on your waist size.
- To attach ties, find the middle stitch on your skirt.
- Loop the tie around every 3 stitches, skipping the middle stitch of the tie loop.
- Pull the end of the tie through each loop and continue all around the skirt to create the waist tie.
Tutor’s Tips
- Always keep your stitch count consistent, especially in the slit rows.
- Ensure your chains and stitches stretch comfortably for easy fitting.
- Using a multiple of even chains helps the pattern remain symmetrical.

- Experiment with yarn colors for a vibrant look.
