Special Notes

  • Foundation chain should be a multiple of six.
  • Reduce your foundation measurement by 10 cm from hip for a snug, stretchy fit.

  • Skirt is highly adjustable for width and length.
  • When making larger sizes or longer skirts, purchase extra yarn.
  • The skirt is designed as a beach cover-up. Line as desired.

Pattern Instructions

1. Waistband & Foundation

  1. Measure your hips and subtract 10 cm for a fitted waist.
    • Example: For 98 cm hips, chain to measure 88 cm.
  2. Make a foundation chain in multiples of 6 until you reach desired length (e.g., 88 cm).
  3. Join with sl st to the first chain, being careful not to twist.

2. Block Stitch Section

Rounds 1–7 (Block Rounds)

  1. Round 1:
    • Ch 3 (counts as dc), 2 dc in the same ch (first block made).
    • Skip 2 ch, 3 dc in next ch—rep from * to * around.
    • Join with sl st in 3rd ch of starting ch 3.
  2. Rounds 2–7:
    • Sl st to the next sp between blocks.
    • Ch 3, 2 dc in the same sp (begin first block).
    • In next sp, 3 dc—rep around.
    • Join.

3. Front Post Stitch Round

  1. Round 8 (Front Post Double Crochet):
    • Note: FPdc = Yarn over, insert your hook from front to back to front around the post (stem) of the dc from the row below, yarn over and finish dc as usual.
    • Ch 2 (serves as a faux dc), FPdc around each dc from previous round.
    • Repeat FPdc around for entire round.
    • Join with sl st in 2nd ch.

4. Block and Post Stitch Repeats

  1. Round 9 (Block Set-Up Again):
    • Sl st to the space after next dc.
    • Ch 3, 2 dc in the same st.
    • Skip 2 sts, 3 dc in the next st—rep around.
    • Join.
  2. Continue working Rounds 9–11:
    • Build 3 rounds of block (first as above, then 2 more as in Rounds 2–7).
  3. Round 12 (Front Post Double Crochet):
    • Work one FPdc into each previous dc.
    • Join as before.
  4. Continue:
    • Repeat: 3 block rounds, 1 front post round until reaching 34–38 cm (or your desired skirt length), ending after a block section (ideally after the 3rd block round for a neat finished edge).
    • Example: 6 total sequences (3 block + 1 FPdc = 4 rounds) = ~34 cm for size S.

5. Finishing Edges (Bottom & Waistband)

For both bottom hem and top edge:

  1. Round (Finishing Edging):
    • At the first space, ch 2, 3 dc in the same sp.
    • Next sp: sc, ch 2, 3 dc—rep around for a simple “pout”/shell edge.
    • Join, fasten off, and weave in ends.

6. Drawstring Waist

  1. Make a cord:
    • With double yarn and a larger hook, ch approx. 1.2 meters.
    • If short on yarn, use ready-made cord or elastic.
  2. Weave the cord: through spaces at the waistband or in the round just below.

Conclusion

This beginner-friendly relief crochet skirt is customizable for any size and length. The simple alternation of blocks and post stitches creates beautiful vertical texture and plenty of stretch, perfect for the beach or for layering. Finish both hem and waist for a professional look, and use a drawstring or elastic for easy fitting.

Pattern Corrections & Tips

  • Sizing: Check width after a few rounds for a snug but comfortable fit.
  • Yarn: For sizes above S or for a longer skirt (and to ensure you can make a cord), purchase 2 balls.
  • Drawstring: If you run out of yarn, substitute with cotton cord or ribbon.
  • Lengthening: Simply add block/post repetitions at the end.
  • Wearing: Use as a beach cover-up or with a slip/lining for city wear!
