With a high waist, a snug fit, and playful ruffles, this mini skirt is the perfect blend of cozy and chic. Plus, it’s designed to be easy enough for beginners while offering a little extra challenge with shaping and ruffles.

Notes

You will start by crocheting the waistband using wide half double crochet stitches. Then, continue with the main body of the skirt, maintaining the wide half double crochet stitch. Finish by adding three rounds of ruffles at the bottom.

When working on the waistband you’ll be working over the elastic.

Odd numbered rows are the right side.
