Pattern One: Granny Square Maxi Skirt

If you've been yearning to create a crochet skirt that fits you perfectly, you're in the right place. In this three-part series, I will share three different patterns and projects to help you achieve your dream skirt. In this article, we will start with the pattern for a granny square maxi skirt.

Materials needed

To create a granny square maxi skirt, you will need the following materials:

• Recycled cotton yarn in the color of your choice (I used Ganzit's chocolate color)
• 4mm crochet hook

Step-by-step instructions

1. Start by creating a magic ring.
2. Chain three, which will count as a double crochet.
3. Work 11 more double crochets into the magic ring.
4. Pull the string at the end to close up the ring and slip stitch into the beginning chain three.
5. For round two, create a puff stitch by pulling up on the yarn and yarn over. Insert your hook into the same stitch, yarn over again, and pull the loop all the way up. Yarn over and pull through all the loops. Chain two and continue creating puff stitches in each stitch around.
6. In round three, chain four (which counts as a double treble) and work a two double treble cluster into the same stitch. Continue working double treble clusters in each stitch and chain two space from the previous round.
7. Keep following the pattern, increasing the number of stitches and clusters in each round, until you have the desired size for your granny square.
8. Make multiple granny squares according to your waist measurement and the desired length of your skirt.
9. Connect the granny squares together using a single crochet seam on the inside of the garment.
10. Finish the top of the skirt by working half double and double crochet stitches in each stitch around.
11. Finally, create a sash by chaining a desired length and working single crochet stitches across the row. Weave the sash through the row of double crochets to cinch the skirt at the waist.

Tips and tricks
