Step-by-Step Instructions
Step 1: Measure Your Waist
Measure your waist accurately. This measurement, when the foundation chain is stretched, should match your actual waist size to ensure a perfect fit.
Step 2: Create the Double Crochet Foundation Chain
- Make a slip knot.
- Chain 2.
- Yarn over, insert hook into the first chain, pull through one loop, then pull through two loops twice (this creates the first double crochet foundation stitch).
- Yarn over and insert hook into the Loop created, repeat double crochet foundation stitches across until the chain measures your waist measurement when stretched (e.g., 17 double crochet foundation stitches).
Step 3: Join Foundation Chain
- Remove your hook, insert back into the first loop, pull yarn through.
- Insert your hook into the slip knot loop and join with a single crochet to close the foundation solidly into a round.
Step 4: Chain 3 and Begin Row One with Triple Crochets
- Chain 3 (counts as the first triple crochet).
- Make two triple crochets in each stitch around the foundation chain to increase evenly and create fullness in the skirt’s upper part.
Step 5: Rows 2 to 5 – Triple Crochet Without Increase
- Chain 3, turn your work.
- Work one triple crochet in each stitch around.
- Join with a slip stitch.
- Repeat this step until you reach Row 5 (about 5 inches of height).
Note: You can switch to a 6 mm crochet hook at Row 6 to loosen the tension for a better ruffle flare.
Step 6: Row 6 – Front Loop Only Ruffles with Increases
- Chain 3, turn your work.
- Work triple crochet into the front loop only for 10 stitches.
- In the 11th stitch, work 2 triple crochets into the same stitch (increase).
- Repeat this pattern across the row.
- If the row ends with fewer than 11 stitches, increase in the last stitch to maintain the flare.
Step 7: Rows 7 & 8 – Continue Triple Crochet Without Increase
- Chain 3, turn your work.
- Work one triple crochet in each stitch around without increases to build the ruffle height.
Step 8: Second Ruffle Section – Repeat and Mirror
- Start fresh count from Row 1 of this section.
- Repeat Steps 6 and 7 to create a second ruffle layer for added volume and style (10 rows total, approximately 8 inches in height).
Step 9: Triple Crochet Rows in Back Loop Only
- Attach yarn at stitch where you started ruffle.
- Chain 3; work triple crochet in the back loop only around.
- Repeat for 3 rows to define the ruffle edge structure.
Step 10: Final Edging in Double Crochet (Color B)
- Switch to secondary yarn color and 6 mm hook.
- Join color B at start of a row with a slip stitch and chain 2.
- Work double crochet evenly around for one neat finishing row.
- Join with slip stitch, chain 1, fasten off and weave in ends.
Step 11: Waistband (Optional Tighter Fit)
- If the waist feels loose, add a row of single crochet stitches around the top edge to tighten the fit.
- Alternatively, create a chain of about 170-180 stitches for your waistband, then thread through the skirt’s top holes, adjusting for comfort.

This 2 layered skirt combines fitted comfort with a ruffled flare, bringing a flowy, feminine touch to your wardrobe.

Tutor’s Tips
- Measure continually to keep desired length and fit precise.
- When increasing, always make sure to increase in the last stitch to keep the flare balanced.
- Looser tension with a bigger hook creates better ruffles.
- Use stitch markers to keep track of rows and increases.
- For a shorter or longer skirt, adjust rows of the main section and ruffle sections accordingly.
