Step-by-Step Instructions

1. Make the Granny Squares

Square 1 (Make one complete, others are joined as you go):

Make a slip knot, chain 4.
Join with a slip stitch in first chain to form a ring.

Round 1:

Chain 3 (counts as first double crochet).
Into the ring: 2 double crochets, chain 2.
Repeat 3 double crochets, chain 2 three times.
You should have 4 groups of 3 double crochets separated by chain-2 spaces.
Slip stitch to top of starting chain, cut yarn and fasten off.

Rounds 2-4:

Join new color to any corner space.
For each corner: 3 double crochets, chain 2, 3 double crochets.
In each side space: 3 double crochets.
Work all the way around, joining with slip stitch at top of starting chain.
Cut and fasten off at the end of each round, changing colors as desired.
Finished squares should measure 9x9 cm.

For subsequent squares, use a join-as-you-go method for final round. Make enough squares to fit your hip circumference (in sample: 111 squares equal about 93 cm), and create 3 rows for length (about 25 cm).

2. Assemble Skirt Panel

Arrange squares in a strip long enough to fit your hip size.
Add additional rows until you have three rows of squares.
Join squares using your preferred joining method (slip stitch, whipstitch, etc.).

3. Border Around Rectangle

With a new color, work granny stitch (groups of 3 double crochets) into each space around the entire panel, working traditional corners (3 dc, ch 2, 3 dc in each corner).

4. Top Edge and Waistband ("Spring")

a. Prep Top Edge:

Work slip stitches across top edge to move to first corner.
Chain 3, then work double crochets across the edge.

b. Decrease Round (if needed for fit):

Chain 2, turn.
[10 double crochets, decrease over next 2 stitches] repeat across.
Do more decrease rounds if your skirt feels loose.

c. Continue Until Desired Height:

Make regular rounds of double crochet; add more for higher waist.

d. Beaded Waistband:

Switch to single crochet for 1 round.
Chain 6 (for approx. 4 cm width), then 2 more chains (do not count as stitches).
Work half double crochet in 3rd chain from hook and across.
Slip stitch to next point on skirt edge; repeat for waistband.
For each new waistband row, slip stitch to 3 points on skirt edge, turn, and work half double crochets in back loop only.
Continue until you’ve attached waistband all around top edge.

5. Hem/Bodice Extension (Bottom Edge)

Join new color at bottom corner.
Work granny stitch groups (3 double crochets per space) along the bottom edge, adding corners where needed.
Alternate two rows of granny stitch with a color change every other round.
Continue for 9 rounds or until desired length (sample is +10 cm).

6. Finishing and Sewing

Fold skirt in half, wrong sides together.
Leave a 5 cm slit at bottom for a side opening; mark base.
Seam up skirt using slip stitches through both sides, starting from the waistband down to marker.
Fasten off, weave in ends, and turn skirt right side out.

Conclusion

This crochet skirt combines classic granny square construction with clever joining and easy finishing techniques. It’s a versatile, eye-catching piece—ideal for the beach, festivals, or everyday adventures. Build confidence in your joining and color-change skills, and finish with a polished, stretchy waistband for comfort and fit.
