Step-by-Step Pattern
Step 1: Start the Foundation Chain
- Make a slip knot on your hook.
- Chain enough stitches to fit comfortably around your waist when slightly stretched. This chain forms the base of the skirt.
- Check the length by wrapping it around your waist to ensure a good fit.
Step 2: Join the Chain
- Join the last chain to the first chain with a slip stitch, creating a circle. Be careful to keep the chain flat and not twisted.
Step 3: Begin Round 1
- Chain 2 (counts as first double crochet).
- Work double crochet (dc) in every stitch around the chain. Do not increase or decrease in this round.
- Join the round with a slip stitch to the top of the starting chain 2.
Step 4: Work Rounds 2 and 3 Without Increases
- For Rounds 2 and 3: Chain 2, turn your work, then continue to dc in each stitch around.
- Join each round with a slip stitch.
- These rounds create the waistband base and should measure approximately 2 inches in height.
Step 5: Mark the Increase Points
- Using stitch markers, place markers evenly on opposite sides of your work; these will indicate where increases will be made to flare the skirt. (This is often where the chain was joined.)
Step 6: Start Increasing Rounds
- Chain 2, turn.
- Work dc in each stitch until you reach the first stitch marker.
- At the marked stitch, work 2 dc in the same stitch (increase).
- Continue dc in each stitch until you reach the second marker.
- At the second marker, again work 2 dc in the same stitch (increase).
- Complete the round with a slip stitch.
Step 7: Alternate Between Normal and Increase Rounds
- Work 1 increase round (with 2 dc in stitch markers) followed by 1 normal round (no increases).
- Repeat this sequence until the skirt matches your desired hip measurement and flare.
- For reference, Marlin worked about 10 rounds of increase, totaling 22 rounds.
Step 8: Finish the Skirt Body
- When your skirt width is enough, stop increasing and continue working dc rounds without increase until you reach the desired length for the body of the skirt.
Step 9: Add the Tassels
- Cut multiple yarn strands of equal length, with about 1-2 inches longer than your desired tassel length.
- Attach tassels by folding yarn strands and pulling the middle through each stitch along the hemline (both loops), securing with a knot or crochet slip stitch to create a fringe effect.
- Continue adding tassels to every stitch around the bottom.
Step 10: Make the Drawstring
- Make a slip knot again and chain a length long enough to comfortably go around your waist.
- Check the length by comparing it to your waist measurement. Add or remove chains if necessary.
Step 11: Insert the Drawstring
- Weave the chain drawstring in and out of the stitches near the waistband to finish the skirt. This will help you tighten or loosen as needed.
Final Notes
- Customize the number of rounds and increases to fit your body shape perfectly.
- Tassel length and fullness are personal choices; shorter tassels tend to look neater.
- This skirt pairs wonderfully with casual tops and sandals for a breezy summer look.
Tip for Success
Use stitch markers generously to keep track of your increase points; this ensures your skirt flares evenly and fits beautifully. If you’re unsure about your tension, try to maintain consistent yarn tension through every stitch for the best result.
Conclusion
This delightful crochet skirt combines simplicity with style and comfort. Whether you’re a beginner or intermediate crocheter, this pattern feels rewarding and results in a lovely handmade garment you can wear proudly.
