G hook
I used 2 1/2 skeins of Donegal (50 grams) acrylic-wool blend yarn. It's thin like sport weight.
1/4" elastic
Sizing: my daughter is a size 4. I make all of her clothes slightly bigger to get more use out of them. There's plenty of room to adjust the waist for a 6x. You make the waist elastic as big as you need. Just make more rounds at the bottom to make the skirt bigger.
Ch 90, sl st tog to make a circle. Be careful not to twist chain.
Round 1: Ch 2, hdc in the same st, then hdc in back loops only all the way around. Sl st tog. (When you sl st, skip the ch 2 and sl st into the first hdc. This pulls the yarn tog to not have a hole when you sl st.)
Round 2-7: Ch 2, hdc in the same st, in both loops, hdc around, sl st tog. (When you sl st, skip the ch 2 and sl st into the first hdc. This pulls the yarn tog to not have a hole when you sl st.)
Round 8: Ch 2, hdc in same st. *Hdc in next 3 sts, then 2 hdc in next st. Repeat from * around. Sl st tog. (When you sl st, skip the ch 2 and sl st into the first hdc. This pulls the yarn tog to not have a hole when you sl st.)
Round 9-10: Repeat Round 2.
Round 11: Ch 2, hdc in same st. *Hdc in the next 5 sts, then 2 hdc in the next st. Repeat from * around. Sl st tog. (When you sl st, skip the ch 2 and sl st into the first hdc. This pulls the yarn tog to not have a hole when you sl st.)
Round 12-16: Repeat Round 2.
Round 17: Ch 3, dc in the same st. *Dc in the next 10 sts, then 2 dc in the next st. Repeat from * around. Sl st tog. (When you sl st, skip the ch 3 and sl st into the first dc. This pulls the yarn tog to not have a hole when you sl st.)
Round 18-19: Ch 3, dc in the same st, in both loops, dc around, sl st tog. (When you sl st, skip the ch 3 and sl st into the first dc. This pulls the yarn tog to not have a hole when you sl st.)
Round 20: Ch 3, *skip 1 st, 3 dc in next st. Repeat from * around. End with 2 dc in with ch 3. Sl st tog at the top ch 3. (3dc group)
Round 21: Sl st over to middle dc form 3dc group of Round 20, ch 4, dc in same sp. *Dc in middle dc of next 3dc group from Round 20, ch 1, dc in same st. (V-st around) Repeat from * around. Sl st tog.
Round 22: Repeat Round 20.
Round 23: Repeat Round 21.
Fasten off and weave in ends.
I use elastic on all my daughter’s clothes. So I take the ¼ inch elastic,
measure it to my daughter and cut. Then I sew the one end into a circle. Then I
sc the elastic to the first row of the skirt. Fasten off and weave in ends.
