After the incredible response to my Treble Twirl Skirt, I wanted to design another stunning crochet skirt that’s just as wearable but with even more flair and texture. Nova Flare features the gorgeous almond stitch for added dimension, a practical elastic waistband for a snug fit, and includes helpful instructions to customize the length.

Specialty Stitch

Almond Stitch

  • Start with any multiple of 8 + 5. It is first worked in groups of 4 slip stitches and then 4 half double crochets. You repeat the same sequence for 2 rows, then you switch for the next 2 rows.
  • Row 1: slst in 2nd ch from hook and in each of next 3 ch. *hdc in each of next 4 ch, slst in each of next 4 ch*. Repeat from * to * across.
  • Row 2: ch 1, turn. Working in the back loops only in every row from now on make 1 slst blo in each of first 4 sts, *make 1 hdc blo in each of next 4 sts, make 1 slst blo in each of next 4 sts*. Repeat from * to * across.
  • Row 3: ch 1, turn. Make 1 hdc blo in each of first 4 sts, *make 1 slst blo in each of next 4 sts, make 1 hdc in each of next 4 sts*. Repeat from * to * across.
  • Row 4: repeat row 2.
  • Rows 5 and beyond: repeat rows 1- 4 until your desired length.
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.
  • I recommend you watch my YouTube tutorial, if there are any uncertainties.
