Crochet Breezy Flared Boho Skirt Free Pattern

Materials:

• Sport weight cotton yarn (approximately 400-500 yards)
• Hook size 4.0 mm (G/6)
• Tapestry needle for weaving ends
• Stitch marker
• Measuring tape

Gauge:

16 stitches and 8 rows = 4 inches in shell stitch pattern.

Instructions:

1. Foundation Chain: Create a foundation chain of 80 (or adjust for your size) stitches.
2. Round 1: Join with a slip stitch to form a ring. Chain 2 (counts as first double crochet), and work 1 double crochet in the same stitch. *Skip 2 stitches, work 3 double crochets in the next stitch (shell made).* Repeat from * to * around. Join with a slip stitch to the top of the chain-2. (You should have 26 shells.)
3. Round 2: Chain 2, and work 1 double crochet in the first shell. In the next shell, work 3 double crochets, chain 1, and work 3 double crochets (increasing width of the shell). Repeat this pattern for each shell around. Join with a slip stitch to the top of the chain-2.
4. Repeat: Repeat Round 2 until the skirt reaches your desired length, generally 20-24 inches from the waist down.
5. Waistband: For the waistband, switch to single crochet or half double crochet, working evenly around. Create a ribbing effect by alternating between front and back post stitches for about 3 inches. Finish off and weave in ends.
6. Finishing Touches: You may choose to add a drawstring made from a simple chain or tie for ease of wear.
