Pattern
1. Waistband & Foundation Round
- Take your widest hip measurement. This ensures the skirt can slide over your hips.
- Make a slip knot. Ch a length that fits comfortably around the widest part of your hips, ensuring it is not twisted and not tight.
- Chain in a multiple of 24 stitches. Example: 144 chains.
- Sl st to the first chain to join into a ring, careful not to twist.
- Ch 2 (counts as your first dc).
- Round 1:
- Dc in each ch around.
- Join with sl st into the 2nd ch of the starting ch-2.
2. Base Motif Setup
Round 2: (Setup for Motif, with spaces/holes)
- Ch 2 (counts as first dc), dc in next 9 sts (10 dc total including ch-2).
- Ch 2, sk 2 sts, dc in next st.
- Dc in next 3 sts (4 dc total after ch-2 space).
- Ch 2, sk 2 sts, dc in next st.
- Dc in next 15 sts (for a total of 16 dc).
- Rep from Step 2, creating:
- (ch 2, sk 2, dc in next st, 3 dc, ch 2, sk 2, dc in next st, 16 dc)
- Repeat around.
- The sequence should end smoothly, mirroring your starting dc section. Join with sl st to top of starting ch-2.
Checkpoints at end of round:
- There should be alternating sections of 10 dc, spaced holes, 16 dc, spaced holes, etc.
- Count your sts and ensure pattern is matching and unbroken!
3. Motif (Flower Petal) Stitch Pattern
The motif pattern repeats for the length of the skirt (Rows 3–10 form a “motif repeat”). When you reach desired length, end with rounds of dc for the waistband.
Round 3:
- Ch 2 (counts as dc).
- Dc in first st and next 6 sts (7 dc total including ch 2).
- Ch 2, sk 2, dc in next st (should be the last dc before a hole).
- In ch-2 space: 2 dc, in the next st after the space 1 dc (4 dcs for this “group”).
- Ch 2, sk 2, dc in next st (last st before next hole).
- In ch-2 space: 2 dc, in st after space: 1 dc.
- Ch 2, sk 2, dc in next st (just before hole).(The motif is now forming, the “holes” stagger in each round.)
- Dc in next 9 sts (to complete the next solid section).
- Repeat steps 3–8 around.
Round 4: (Petal building; introduces tr)
- Ch 2, dc in next 3 sts (4 dc total).
- Ch 2, sk 2, dc in next st (before the hole).
- In ch-2 space: 2 dc, in next st: 1 dc.
- Ch 4, tr (yarn over twice) in next ch-2 space.
- Ch 4, dc in st before next hole.
- In ch-2 space: 2 dc, in next st: 1 dc.
- Ch 2, sk 2, dc in next st, repeat as established.
- The “flower petal” shape begins to build.
- Repeat around.
Round 5: (Petal peak, single crochets)
- Ch 4 at the start.
- Sk 2 sts, dc in next st (start with a space).
- In ch-2 space: 2 dc, in next st: 1 dc.
- Ch 5, then sc in the three sts at the tip of the petal and in the center tr of the previous round.
- Ch 5, dc before the next hole, 2 dc in hole, etc.
- Continue around.
Round 6:
- After each petal section, ch 6, then sc into the center three single crochets from prev round, etc.
- Continue as established, working increases with more ch sts for taller petals.
Round 7 and 8: (Increasing and peaking the petals)
- Work with ch 5 intervals, triple crochets, and dc’s as established, always building petals, working in the center as described.
Round 9: (Working down the motif)
- Work down with more dc in each motif, “filling in” in the same direction as you did on the bottom half.
- Begin with 7 dc, then chain 2, etc., then 10 dc, chain 2, then increase for the next motif.
Round 10: (Finishing the Motif)
- Work 10 dc at the start, then chain 2, clusters of 4 dc, chain 2, and then as in the setup round, 16 dc repeats.
Motif Repeats
- Repeat Rows 3–10 for as many motif repeats as you wish for your desired length.
A typical mini skirt: 2–3 motif repeats. For a maxi: many more.
4. Finishing Waistband
When your skirt reaches your desired length:
- Work at least 1–2 rounds of dc in every st around, as in Round 1.
- Join with sl st to top of starting ch-2 in each round.
- Fasten off and weave in all remaining ends.
5. Drawstring
- Make a slip knot.
- Chain a length approx. 20″ (50 cm) longer than your waist (try around waist for best fit).
- Sl st in each ch (starting in 2nd ch from hook).
- Weave in both yarn ends.
- With your hook, thread the drawstring through the waistband row, weaving it in and out every 5 stitches, all the way around.
6. Finishing
- Try on and adjust the fit with the drawstring.
- Block the skirt for best drape.
- Enjoy your flower skirt!
