Hdc in each st across (total of 8 hdc).
Repeat this row until you reach your waist measurement (the band will stretch, so work slightly less than the required inches. For example: If your waist measures 29″, make your band 25–26″, as it will stretch during wear).

Pattern Correction

Waistband: Ensure you work in half double crochet (hdc) throughout, not double crochet (dc).
Skirt Body: Increase in first row after joining, then switch to double crochet (dc) for height and drape.
Join as you go: Always slip stitch at the end of each round/row for a neat seam.
