Crochet Granny Square Skirt Patterns: 4 Free Designs
Granny-square skirts need a pattern that explains motif layout, fit, and waistband construction. These three original designer pages range from a seamed motif skirt to designs with ribbed waistbands and broad size ranges.
A comfortable hook and stitch markers to track your rounds will save you some frogging once the waistband shaping starts.
Granny square skirt patterns to explore
1. Granny Pop Crochet Skirt
Michelle Moore at MJ’s Off the Hook Designs offers XS through 5XL with short, mid, and long-length options. The skirt uses seamed granny-square motifs and a join-as-you-go ribbed waistband. The join-as-you-go construction means the waistband is worked directly onto the joined motifs rather than added as a separate seamed piece afterward.
2. Crocheted Granny-squares Skirt
Carolyn at Handmade by Carolyn describes this as her own design, inspired by Jo Sharp’s Hexagon skirt. Her version uses 78 squares arranged as a six-by-thirteen tube. With 78 total motifs, it uses more individual squares than any other skirt on this list, which makes color planning across the whole tube worth doing before you start.
3. Red Heart Crochet Granny Square Skirt
Yarnspirations rates this skirt easy and covers XS/S through 4/5XL. It uses full and half motifs, a half-double-crochet body, and back-loop single-crochet waistband ribbing. Mixing full and half motifs lets the shaping taper smoothly at the side seams instead of relying only on square increases.
4. Colorful Skirt with Granny Square
Olga at MyCrochetPattern joins 72 granny-square motifs, multicolor for the first five rows, black for the sixth, in 100% wool at 50g/200m on a 3mm hook, finished with a 12cm zipper and elastic waistband, in one size (EU 44-46).
Compare the layout before starting
Choose the pattern whose motif layout and waistband construction fit your plan. Check the stated size range and measure a completed square before committing to the full skirt. Genuinely free granny-square skirt patterns are less common than plain crochet skirts, so this list stays shorter than most of our roundups.
