Maxine Chevron Crochet Skirt Child Sizes

If you are looking for an easy skirt pattern for kids, then you’ve found it! I designed the upper portion of this lightweight crochet skirt pattern to be a more dense fabric so that it isn’t see-through and doesn’t require a slip underneath.

Because all kids are different, I also made this gorgeous skirt easy to be customizable in length so that the little one that you are making this for gets a perfect fit. You can even add onto it as needed as they grow!

What is the best yarn for a crocheted kids skirt? For the adult sizes I used a fingering weight cotton, Twister from Hobbii. I needed two solid color Twister cakes, then switched to ONE corresponding Twister gradient cake to finish it off.

Hobbii makes it easy for you to match colors because they even tell you which of the other Twister varieties match each gradient cake. How great is that? Scroll down to the description to see which color code to select from each.

Other great yarn options would include Twill Fingering, Comfy Fingering, or Gloss Fingering from WeCrochet.

I love that we can make matching skirts for everyone in the family. This simple chevron skirt pattern would be wonderful for Easter pictures, spring formals, or any family get togethers. This flowy skirt is comfortable to wear, provides the perfect length, and will have friends and family wanting their own too.

Pair it with a Girl’s Boho Halter Top for an easy swimsuit coverup or staying cool in the backyard during summertime barbeques. There are toddler sizes available too! If the weather is still a bit on the cooler side where you are, then a lightweight sweater, such as the Shanti Sweater crochet pattern for Big Kids, Little Kids, or the child sizes of the Basic V-Neck Sweater crochet pattern, would be a perfect add on to their wardrobe.

Finishing:

Use a yarn needle to weave the elastic thread along the inside of the band, under only the raised (would be the fp) post stitches. Work in a spiral for several rounds of the band until you feel satisfied with the amount of elastic support. Secure the ends and you’re finished!

That is it! I hope your little one loves their new skirt and that they wear it often and twirl all the time! Remember if you would like the adult sizes of this pattern you can find them here.
