Crochet Granny Square Maxi Skirt

Materials Needed:

Hips measurement, waist measurement, and length from waist to ankle
Yarn of choice (mentioned was Alise Baby Wool, 262 yards)
Crochet hooks: 3 mm for most of the project, 3.5 mm or 4 mm hook for the granny squares going around the hips for extra stretch

Making the Granny Squares (6x6 inches):

Start the Granny Square:

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

Round 1:

Chain 3 (counts as first double crochet).
Make 15 double crochets into the ring (16 double crochets including the chain 3).
Use a stitch marker to mark the end of the round if needed.

Changing Color:

To change color, insert your hook into the stitch you're about to work, attach new yarn and pull through, securing the new yarn and continuing with it.

Round 2 (Creating Clusters):

Chain 3 (counts as a double crochet).
In the first stitch, yarn over, insert the hook, and pull up a loop, yarn over and pull through two loops, twice more in the same stitch, but do not complete the stitches separately. Yarn over and pull through all loops on the hook, leaving two loops, then pull through two.
Chain 1.
Repeat this process to create clusters around, ensuring you have 16 clusters by the end of the round.

For Round 3:

Slip stitch into the chain-1 space, chain 3.
Make 3 incomplete double crochets in the chain-1 space, yarn over and pull through all loops, then chain 2.
Repeat in each chain-1 space around.

Round 4 (Creating Corners):

Chain 4 (counts as a triple double crochet).
Work triple double crochets and double crochets as instructed to create corners and sides with chain spaces between sets as corners are formed with 3 triple double crochets.

Joining the Squares:

Arrange the granny squares according to your measurements and design preference.
Use a single crochet stitch with black yarn (or preferred color) for joining the squares edge to edge, creating the skirt's body.

Waistband:

Attach yarn at the top edge of the skirt.

Row 1:

Make single crochets around the top, skipping the chain-1 spaces to create the waistband.

Row 2 and Beyond:

Chain 3 and then double crochet in the next stitches, skipping one stitch in between sets of double crochets.
To create a ribbed effect, perform front post and back post double crochets for the following rows.
Finish the waistband with a final round of post stitches to ensure flexibility and comfort.
