Pattern Instructions

Step 1: Waistband

The waistband is created first with ribbing for flexibility and a snug fit around the body.

  1. Foundation Chain:
    • Start with a slip knot.
    • Chain 7, including the initial knot. (For wider waistbands, increase the chain count.)
      Save
  2. Row 1 - Foundation Row:
    • Ch 3 (counts as first dc).
    • In the 5th chain from the hook, work 1 dc.
    • Continue working dc in each chain until the end of the row. (7 total dc for size S.)
  3. Row 2-Desired Length - Ribbing:
    • Ch 3, work 1 dc in BLO of each stitch, skipping the first chain. Continue to the end of the row.
    • Turn and repeat this process for every row until your waistband measures your desired circumference.
      Save
      Sizing Note:
      • To calculate the waistband size: Hip Measurement - 20 cm (~8 inches).
      • Example: For a 100 cm (~39.4 inches) hip, the waistband should measure 80 cm (~31.5 inches).
      • Ensure the total row count is a multiple of 3.
  4. Joining Ends:
    • Fold the waistband, aligning the last row with the foundation row.
    • Join with sl st by working through the BLO of the last row and the corresponding stitch on the base row. Ensure the join is seamless.
      Save

Step 2: Base Stitches for Skirt

  1. Row 1 - Setting the Base:
    • Attach yarn at the base of the waistband seam.
    • For each row of the ribbed fabric, work 3 sc evenly into the ends of the dc stitches.
    • Continue this all along the base of the waistband to form a uniform foundation row.
      Save
  2. Row 2 - Begin Brick Stitch Setup:
    • Ch 3 (counts as first dc).
    • Ch 2 for spacing, then skip 2 stitches and work dc in the next stitch.
    • Rep [ch 2, skip 2, dc in the next stitch] all the way around.
    • Join with a sl st to the 3rd ch of the starting ch.
      Save

Step 3: Brick Stitch Pattern

The brick stitch pattern is a repeating sequence of 4 rows.

Row 1 - Base/Bricks Foundation:

  1. Begin with 3 ch, then in the next sp (ch-2 space), work 2 dc.
  2. Continue across the row:
    • Work [dc, 2 dc in next ch-2 sp, dc in next st] across.
  3. After every 7 dc, ch 2, skip 2 ch sts, and rep the set across the row.
    Save

Row 2 - Brick Formation:

  1. Begin with 3 ch, work [dc, dc, dc], ch 1, skip the 4th dc from the previous set.
  2. Continue to finish the row using the same method, creating separation between clusters of dc.

Row 3 - Brick Top Row:

  1. Work 7 dc stitches across 2 squares, separated by 2 ch between clusters of 7 dc.

Row 4 - Row of Chain Spaces:

  1. Work [dc, ch 2, skip 2 stitches, dc] for the entire row.

Step 4: Optional Slit

  1. Begin the slit after completing the foundation row of dc + ch-2 repetitions.
  2. Work each row separately as described above, ensuring the slit remains open.
  3. Optionally sew lining along the slit for modesty.

Step 5: Finishing Rows

  1. Last 2 Rows:
    • After completing the desired length, work 1 row of dc in each stitch of the previous row, followed by 1 row of sc in each stitch.
    • This creates a clean, professional finish.

Step 6: Waistband Elastic Application (Optional)

  1. For a perfect fit, use an elastic band 10 cm (~4 inches) shorter than your waist measurement.
  2. Attach both elastic ends by sewing or knotting securely.
  3. Attach Elastic:
    • Use sc, inserting your crochet hook into each base stitch and passing under the elastic band to secure it between the stitches.

Step 7: Optional Lining

  1. Cut Fabric: Position the fabric under the skirt and cut it to fit the sides of the skirt. Leave ~1-2 inches of seam allowance.
  2. Sewing the Lining:
    • Sew the fabric along the sides and attach it to the skirt with a needle and thread.
    • Position the fabric just below the waistband seam, pin, and sew with small stitches to secure.

Tips

  1. Customize Easily: Modify the skirt's length, width, and slit placement for a perfect custom fit.
  2. Lining Application: Baste the fabric carefully to avoid puckering. Fold edges to avoid visible fraying.
  3. Maintenance: Hand wash the skirt or use a delicate cycle for lined skirts. Always air dry to maintain the shape of the stitches.
