How to Crochet a Ruffle Skirt

Crocheting a ruffle skirt can be a fun and rewarding project. Follow these step-by-step instructions based on the closed captions of the YouTube video "How To Crochet A Ruffle Skirt / Beginner Friendly" by AC Crochets.

Materials Needed:

  • Yarn of your choice
  • Crochet hook
  • Scissors

Step 1: Making the Waistband

  1. Start with the waistband by making a foundation chain. Make a slipknot and chain 18 stitches.
  2. Work half double crochets in the third chain from the hook without counting the loop on the hook.
  3. Continue making half double crochets in the back loops only to create the waistband.
  4. Crochet enough rows until the waistband stretches to your desired measurements.

Step 2: Shaping the Skirt

  1. Join the waistband by slip stitching the front and back parts together.
  2. Turn the work inside out and work single crochets around the waistband to create a straight line.
  3. Begin crocheting half double crochets in every stitch to form the body of the skirt.
  4. Alternate between rows with increases and rows without increases to shape the skirt according to your measurements.

Step 3: Adding Ruffles

  1. Start adding ruffles by increasing the number of half double crochets in each stitch.
  2. Follow the pattern of increasing stitches for a few rows to create ruffles.
  3. After the ruffling rows, continue crocheting without any increases for a few more rows to balance the design.

Step 4: Finishing Touches

  1. Cut off the yarn and secure the ends to finish the skirt.
  2. Admire your beautiful ruffle skirt and make any necessary adjustments for the perfect fit.
