Materials Needed

• Yarn: Worsted weight cotton yarn in sunset hues (choose colors that transition from deep coral to soft golden yellow).
• Crochet Hook: 5.0 mm crochet hook.
• Gauge: 14 stitches and 8 rows = 4 inches in double crochet (dc).
• Scissors: For cutting yarn.
• Tapestry Needle: For weaving in ends.

Step-by-Step Instructions

1. Foundation Chain: Start by making a foundation chain that fits comfortably around your waist. Ensure it is not too tight, as the skirt needs to flow. Once you have your desired length, join with a slip stitch (sl st) to form a ring.
2. Round 1: Chain 3 (this counts as your first double crochet). Now, double crochet (dc) in each chain around the ring. Once you reach the end of the round, join with a slip stitch to the top of the starting chain-3.
3. Round 2: Chain 3 (counts as dc). Now, *front post double crochet (fpdc) in the next stitch, back post double crochet (bpdc) in the next stitch; repeat from * around. This creates the textured wave pattern. Join with a slip stitch at the end of the round.
4. Round 3: Chain 3 (counts as dc). Double crochet in each stitch around. Join with a slip stitch at the end of the round.
5. Repeating Rounds: Continue to repeat Rounds 2 and 3 until the skirt reaches your desired length. You can adjust the number of rounds based on how long you want the skirt to be. Remember to keep the tension even for a consistent look.
6. Finishing Touch: Once you have reached your desired length, finish with a round of single crochet (sc) to create a neat edge. This will help prevent the skirt from curling at the hem. Fasten off your yarn and weave in any loose ends using a tapestry needle.
