Waistband – Row 1 (Foundation Chain and First Row)

• Measure the widest part of your hips to determine the length of your foundation chain.
• Chain an even number of stitches to match your measurement (e.g., 115 chains).
• Join with a slip stitch to the first chain to form a loop, making sure not to twist.
• Chain 3 (counts as first double crochet), or make 1 single crochet plus 2 chains.

Repeat:

• Skip the next stitch.
• Double crochet into the back loop of the following chain.
• Continue the repeat pattern around.
• If a chain remains at the end, skip it.
• Slip stitch to the third chain of the starting chain-three (or second chain of sc + ch2 setup).

Waistband – Row 2

• Chain 3 (or sc + 2 chains).
• Chain 1 (creates a chain-one space).
• Double crochet into the next double crochet from the previous row.
• Repeat:
• Chain 1.
• Double crochet into the next double crochet.
• At the end of the round:
• Chain 1.
• Slip stitch to the third chain (or second chain of the sc + ch2).

Skirt Body – Row 3

• Chain 3 (or sc + 2 chains).
• Make 3 double crochets into the next double crochet.
• Make 1 double crochet into the following double crochet.
• Repeat:
• 3 double crochets into the next stitch.
• 1 double crochet into the next.
• Slip stitch to the third chain (or second chain) at the start to close the round.

Skirt Body – Row 4 and Onwards (Repeating Pattern)

• Chain 3 (or sc + 2 chains).
• Locate the group of 3 double crochets from the previous row.
• Make 3 double crochets into the second stitch of that group.
• Make 1 double crochet into the single double crochet from the previous row.

Repeat throughout:

• 3 dc into second stitch of the dc group.
• 1 dc into single dc.
• Slip stitch into the third chain (or second chain) to finish the row.
• Continue repeating Row 4 until the skirt reaches your desired length.

Finishing

• Once your desired length is reached:
• Slip stitch into the third (or second) chain at the start of the last row.
• Chain 1 and cut the yarn.
• Pull tight.
• Weave in the yarn tail using a needle, securing it neatly on the inside.
• Add a ribbon or belt to the waistband for a decorative touch.
