• Hook: 10 mm crochet hook

Step-by-Step Instructions

1. Start with a Magic Ring: Choose your first color for the center of the granny square. Create a magic ring by wrapping the yarn around your fingers and pulling a loop through.
2. Round 1:
   • Chain 3 (this counts as your first double crochet).
   • Make 11 double crochets (dc) into the magic ring.
   • Join the round by slip stitching (sl st) into the top of the initial chain 3.
   • Fasten off the yarn.
3. Round 2:
   • Join a new color in any of the double crochets from Round 1.
   • Chain 3, then make 1 dc in the same stitch.
   • Make 2 dc in each stitch around the square.
   • Join with a sl st to the top of the initial chain 3.
   • Fasten off the yarn.
4. Round 3:
   • Join the cream color yarn to any stitch.
   • Chain 3, then make 1 dc in the same stitch.
   • *Chain 1, then make 2 dc in the next stitch.* Repeat from * to * around the square.
   • Join with a sl st to the top of the initial chain 3.
   • Fasten off the yarn.
5. Make Granny Squares: You will need to make a total of 24 granny squares. Alternate the colors for the centers to create a vibrant look.
6. Join the Squares: Using the cream yarn, join the squares together. You can use a slip stitch or single crochet seam to connect them, forming the shape of the skirt.
7. Create the Waistband:
   • Attach the cream yarn to the top edge of the joined squares.
   • Chain 1, then single crochet (sc) around the entire top edge of the skirt.
   • Join with a sl st to the first sc.
   • Repeat this process for a total of 5 rounds to create a sturdy waistband.
8. Finishing Touches: Weave in all loose ends with a yarn needle. To give your skirt a polished look, block the skirt to shape it properly.

Now you have a beautiful, vibrant granny square crochet skirt that you can proudly wear or gift to someone special! Enjoy your crafting journey!
