Your Dream Crochet Skirt Pattern With The Su Stitch Easy Step-by-Step Tutorial

This crochet skirt pattern is perfect for crocheters looking to add a custom-made piece to their wardrobe. The design incorporates the unique Su Stitch, which combines single crochet and double crochet in one stitch, creating a beautiful textured pattern. As you work your way through the rows, you'll shape the skirt to fit your waist and hips with subtle reductions, ensuring a perfect fit.

Plus, there's an opportunity to get creative with color changes, making it easy to personalize your skirt to match any style. Whether you’re a beginner or an intermediate crocheter, this pattern is straightforward and provides a great opportunity to master some new techniques while crafting a functional and stylish piece.

Foundation and First Row

Create a foundation chain with an even number of chains, making sure it's half of your hip measurement minus 5 cm.
Skip the first chain, and in the second chain, make a single crochet.

In the same chain as the single crochet, make a double crochet (this is the Su Stitch).

Skip the next chain, and in the following chain, repeat the Su Stitch (one single crochet, one double crochet in the same chain).
Repeat this pattern until the end of the row, finishing with a single crochet.
In the very last chain, make a single crochet to end the first row.

Subsequent Rows and Color Change

Chain one (turning chain), and in the first stitch of the row, make a single crochet followed by a double crochet (Su Stitch).
Skip the next stitch, and in the following stitch, repeat the Su Stitch.
Continue this pattern until your work reaches your desired bottom-to-hip length.
To change yarn color, use the new yarn to make the single crochet.

Hip to Waist Reductions

Begin reductions to shape the skirt for the waist.
To make a reduction, insert your hook as if starting a single crochet but don't finish it. Repeat this in the next two stitches, then close all loops.

Continue working Su Stitches until the end of the row, where you'll make another reduction.

At the end of the row, combine the last two Su Stitches to create a reduction.
Work one row without any reductions.
Make subsequent reductions on rows 6, 11, 16, 21, and so on.
Measure the width of the panel to ensure it reaches half of your waist measurement.

Waist Shaping and Ribbons

To make the waist tighter, create a row of single crochets with decreases.
Make six single crochets, then create a decrease over the next two stitches.

Repeat this pattern (six single crochets, one decrease) across the row.

Chain one, turn, and make a row of double crochets.
Chain two (counts as the first double crochet), then alternate front and back post double crochets across the row.
Repeat the front and back post pattern for the last row of the panel.
