Crochet Wrap Skirt Pattern

Materials Needed

  • Yarn: Medium-size #4 cotton yarn (Bernat Handicrafter used in the video).
  • Crochet Hook: 5mm (recommended for medium cotton yarn).
  • Other Tools: Scissors, stitch markers (at least 4), tapestry needle, and a button to secure the skirt.

Step-by-Step Pattern

Foundation

  1. Chain Base:
    • Begin with chains to match your waist size. Wrap the chain around your waist, between your navel and hips, and end at the same side where you began.
    • For reference, 100 chains = approximately 92cm (adjust as needed).
    • Place markers on the chain at the start point (one side of the waist) and the end point (opposite side of the waist).
  2. Shaping Overview:
    • The chain forms the base of the wrap. This pattern will include increases at the markers (waist points), creating the wrap-around shape.

Body of Skirt

  1. Row 1:
    • Chain 1, place a marker, and begin working Double Crochet (DC) in each chain along the base.
    • Work 2 DC at each marker point (increase stitch), ensuring markers stay in the first stitch of each increase.
    • Repeat DC to complete the row.
  2. Row 2:
    • Turn your work. Chain 1, replace the marker, and work DC stitches as they are presented up to the marker.
    • Remove the marker, make 2 DC at the marker point, replace the marker in the first stitch of the increase.
    • Continue working DC until reaching the next marker, repeating the increase process.
  3. Rows 3–23:
    • Continue as in Row 2, repeating the increase process at both markers.
    • At the end of Row 23, the skirt should measure approximately 27cm in height.

Shaping Curve

  1. Decreases:
    • Row 24: Begin with chain 1, replace marker, and make 2 decreases (work two stitches together as a DC) at the start of the row.
    • Work DC stitches as usual until 4 stitches remain at the opposite end. Make 2 decreases again.
    • Repeat this process for 2 more rows (Rows 25 and 26).
  2. Result: These decreases create a curved edge for the skirt, adapting perfectly to the body.

Edge and Buttonhole

  1. Single Crochet Edge:
    • Turn your fabric.
    • Work Single Crochet (SC) evenly along the edge, maintaining consistent spacing between stitches.
  2. Buttonhole:
    • At the corner of your skirt, chain 5 and make a Slip Stitch (SS) into the same stitch to form a buttonhole.
    • Adjust chain count to match the size of your button.
  3. Ties:
    • At each hip edge, create ties:
      • Chain 72 (approx. 54cm).
      • Return with SC into each chain for firmness.
      • Repeat on the opposite side for uniformity.

Decorative Motif

  1. Setup Round:
    • Start at the bottom edge. Work DC strides alternating with chains:
      • Skip 1 stitch, chain 1, and DC into the next stitch. Repeat across the row.
      • Leave the inside front edge smooth (no decorations).
  2. Loop Round:
    • Chain 5, Slip Stitch into every fourth space to create loops.
  3. Motif Row:
    • Work in the loops between DC groups:
      • Two DC, chain 2, two DC into one loop.
      • Repeat uniformly across loops to give a textured appearance.
  4. Final Round (Tips):
    • Add small “heads” atop motifs:
      • DC, then chain 3 and SS into the stitch to create a spike.
      • Repeat, adding flare to the edges of the motifs.

Final Touch

  1. Finishing Edges:
    • Hide any loose threads using a tapestry needle.
    • Attach a button at the buttonhole for secure closure.
  2. Final Measurements:
    • Double-check fit and adjust button placement as needed.

Special Features

  • Adjustable Fit: Button closure and ties ensure a snug fit regardless of material elasticity.
  • Custom Size: Easily modify length and width to fit your body.
  • Versatile Design: Use as a casual skirt or beach cover-up.

  • Beach Days: Lightweight and stylish for lounging by the pool or sea.

Tutor’s Suggestions

  • Use bright summer-friendly colors for a standout vacation piece.
  • Ensure stitches at the waist are well-marked to avoid uneven increases.
  • For longer skirts, simply add more rows on the body.
