This ruffled crochet skirt is worked flat in rows, starting at the waist and building downwards with layered shell stitches. The design creates a soft, flouncy texture that matches beautifully with the previously published ruffled blouse. This project is perfect for girls aged 4–5 but is easily adjustable to fit any size by modifying the number of chains and rows.

Size Options:
Pattern written for size 4–5 years. You can customize the size by measuring the hip circumference and adjusting the initial chain count and total number of rows.

Gauge:
Gauge is not critical for this project. Instead, focus on achieving the desired width using your child’s hip measurements. If you want a snug fit at the waist, adding an elastic waistband is recommended.
