Soft petals, easy colorwork, and a customizable fit—the Rosebud Skirt is a textured crochet design worked in two panels from the hem up. It’s a fun, swishy make for intermediate crocheters who enjoy stitch patterns that pop, but confident beginners can also follow along with the help of the video tutorial.
This one started with color. I had these three shades sitting next to each other—peach, green, and sand—and they felt like they belonged together. I didn’t plan the stitch myself, but once I saw how the texture popped with those colors, I knew it needed to become a skirt.
The silhouette is full and swishy, but the construction is simple: two panels, joined at the sides. You adjust the length as you go, then finish with a crocheted chain woven into the waistband to keep it snug. No elastic, no fuss—but if you prefer an elastic waistband, you can absolutely add one instead.
It’s one of those pieces that looks sweet and delicate, but it’s made to move—easy to wear, fun to make, and surprisingly fast once you get into the rhythm.

Specialty Stitch & Technique Key
Popcorn Stitch
Crochet 5 dc stitches into the specified stitch. Remove your hook from the loop left on it from the last dc you made and insert your hook under the top of the first dc stitch you made (under both the front and back loops). Now insert the hook back through the loop from the last dc (the loop you took off your hook). Pull that loop through the first dc to complete the popcorn stitch.

This pattern includes a full video tutorial designed to clarify any techniques or steps that are better demonstrated visually than explained in writing.
The skirt is worked from the hem up. You’ll make two panels, sew the sides together, and finish by weaving the string into the waistband.
Instructions for adjusting the skirt length are included in the pattern.
Odd numbered rows on the “Body” are the RS.
Ch 2 at the beginning of each row doesn’t count as a stitch
