Step-by-Step Instructions

Step 1: Measure and Chain

1. Introduction to Materials:
   • Use a thin yarn, doubled up (Grace uses Robin brand, 50g).
   • Measure your hips as the skirt is form-fitting.

1. Initial Chain:
   • Chain the number that corresponds to your hip measurement in multiples of three.
   • For example, a hip measurement of 42 inches leads to chaining 165 chains (165 is a multiple of 3).

Step 2: Foundation Round

1. Form a Circle:
   • Ensure the chain is not twisted.
   • Slip stitch into the first chain to form a circle.
2. Double Crochet Base:
   • Chain 2, which does not count as a double crochet.
   • Double crochet in the same stitch and every stitch around.
   • Slip stitch into the top of the initial chain 2 to complete the round.

Step 3: Waffle Stitch Pattern

1. Starting the Pattern:
   • Chain 2, which does not count as a stitch.
   • Double crochet in the next stitch. For the following stitches, alternate between double crochet and front post double crochet.
   • A front post double crochet wraps around the post of the stitch from the previous row.
2. Subsequent Rounds:
   • Continue alternating: 2 double crochets in the next two stitches, 1 front post in the next stitch.
   • Slip stitch to close the round.
3. Building the Waffle Pattern:
   • Repeat the above steps for several rounds.
   • The pattern will begin to form the characteristic waffle texture.

Step 4: Create Waistband

1. Starting the Waistband:
   • After reaching the desired length, chain 12 (including 1 turning chain).
   • Single crochet in the second chain from hook and in each chain across.
2. Joining Waistband:
   • Slip stitch into the next 3 stitches at the base of the skirt to join.
   • Turn work and single crochet into the back loops only, except for the first and last stitch worked into both loops.
3. Continue Waistband:
   • Repeat the process: Slip stitch at the base, turn, and single crochet back loop only until the waistband is complete.
4. Finishing Waistband:
   • Join the two sides of the waistband together with single crochet, working through both loops of corresponding stitches.

Step 5: Tightening the Waist

1. Slip Knot and Reattach Yarn:
   • Reattach your yarn at the seam line of the waistband.
2. Single Crochet Edging:
   • Work single crochet all around the waistband for a neat finish.
   • Slip stitch to join and fasten off.

Step 6: Add Drawstring (Optional)

1. Creating Drawstring:
   • Chain to the desired length of the drawstring.
   • Weave the drawstring through the waistband.

Conclusion

This waffle stitch crochet skirt is a stylish and snug-fitting design perfect for various occasions. By following creator step-by-step instructions, even beginners can achieve this fashionable look. Remember to measure accurately, and practice the waffle stitch to give your skirt the right texture.
