Tip:

For a professional finish, block your granny squares before assembling the skirt to ensure uniformity and crisp edges.

Materials Needed:

• Cotton yarn in five different colors. (Brand shown on screen in the video)
• 4 mm crochet hook
• Scissors
• Yarn needle
• Elastic band (for the waistband)
• Optional additional yarn for the waistband

Creating the Squares:

Start with a Magic Circle:

• Wrap the yarn over your three fingers, go under your pointer, over and under the middle finger creating an “X.”
• Slide hook under the first strand, grab the twist, and pull through to make a knot.
• Chain 2 (counts as the first double crochet).

Complete the Circle:

• Make 11 more double crochets into the circle, totaling 12 double crochets.
• Pull the circle tight and slip stitch into the top chain of the chain 2.
• Chain 1, cut the yarn leaving a long loop, and pull through to secure.

Change Colors and Start New Rounds:

• Attach a new color with a slip knot; chain 2 on the hook.
• For the first square’s second round, do 3 double crochets into each existing stitch around the circle, with slip stitches to join and chain ones in between.

Create Corners to Form Squares:

• Start each new round in any of the corner gaps from the previous round.
• Perform “corner clusters” by doing 3 double crochets, chain 1, 3 double crochets in each corner.
• Fill the gaps between corners by doing 3 double crochets on each flat side.

Continue till Desired Rounds:

• Continue adding rounds until each square reaches the desired size (usually 5 rounds).
• Joining the Squares

Layout Squares:

• Lay out your completed squares in the pattern design you want for your skirt.

Make “Join As You Go” Attachments:

• Use the join-as-you-go method: start in a corner, join corners with a chain 1, and slip stitch into adjoining squares to connect as you work around.
• Ensure consistent tension and avoid puckering by not pulling the joints too tight.

Assembling the Skirt:

Sew Front and Back Pieces Together:

• Use single crochets or slip stitches to join the sides of the front and back pieces, leaving an opening if a slit is desired.

Add Elastic and Waistband:

• Sew elastic into the waist using a yarn needle to thread through the top stitches of the skirt.
• Create a waistband by doing rows of half double crochets around the waist area.
• Optionally, add a drawstring or extra yarn chain for additional closure and design.

Weave in Ends:

• Secure and trim all yarn ends.

Final Adjustments:

• Try on the skirt and make any necessary adjustments to fit or design.

Additional Details:

• Decorative elements like beads or additional color patterns can be added by incorporating them into individual squares or along the joins.
