HOW TO MAKE IT
Start the Waistline
Begin with a base that sits snugly around your waist or hips. Make sure it’s not too tight, especially if the skirt needs to slide over your hips.
Work the Body
Crochet the body in rows or rounds following a simple stitch pattern. Check the width regularly so the skirt fits smoothly without pulling.
Make the Skirt
Shape the skirt to suit your body. Keep it more fitted for a tailored look or allow extra ease for a relaxed silhouette.
Alter the Length
Continue until the skirt is as long as you want. Make it mini, midi, or maxi depending on your style.
Complete the Edges
Finish the waistband and bottom edge neatly. Weave in all ends and try on the skirt for a final fit check.
HELPFUL TIPS
- Use stitch markers to keep rows or rounds even
- Try on the skirt often to adjust fit
- Keep tension consistent and avoid twisting the fabric
- If the stitch pattern is open, consider wearing a slip or lining
MISTAKES TO AVOID
- Making the waist too tight
- Forgetting to check hip fit
- Skipping try-ons
- Using yarn with too much stretch
- Leaving the hem raw
