Morning Yoga Skirt Crochet Pattern

What is Being Made

The Morning Yoga Skirt is a beginner-friendly crochet garment designed by Izabela Firlová. This is a wrap-style skirt that sits on the hips and features an adjustable fit, making it suitable for multiple sizes. The skirt is constructed from the top down, creating a flowing garment that wraps and tucks for a customizable silhouette. Two size options are available: S/M with a widest part measuring 100–110 cm (39–43 inches), and L/XL with a widest part measuring 120–130 cm (47–51.2 inches).

Techniques Used

This crochet pattern employs a top-down construction method, which allows the crocheter to work from the waistband downward toward the hem. The skirt begins with a long foundation chain that is then worked in rows using basic crochet stitches. The wrap design means that portions of the fabric overlap and tuck under one another, creating the finished silhouette. A crocheted edging is added to the hem as a finishing touch. The skirt is designed to sit comfortably on the hips and can be adjusted using either a rubber band or an integrated drawstring for a customized fit.

Stitches Used

• Chain stitch (ch) – the foundation stitch used to create the initial long chain and throughout the pattern
• Single crochet (sc) – a basic, sturdy stitch that forms the primary fabric of the skirt
• Half double crochet (hdc) – used to add texture and variation to the pattern
• Double crochet (dc) – employed for additional drape and openness in the design
• Slip stitch (ss) – used for joining and finishing details

The pattern notation includes the symbol ** to indicate sections that are repeated throughout the instructions.

Materials and Tools

The Morning Yoga Skirt requires sport weight yarn in either silk or cotton fiber content. A total of 750 meters of yarn is needed to complete the garment. A 3.5 mm crochet hook is used to work the pattern. The gauge is 28 stitches to 29 rows, which helps ensure proper sizing and drape. Additional materials include a rubber band and string for the waistband adjustment and drawstring tie, which are added during the finishing stages of construction.

Pattern Overview

The skirt construction begins with a long foundation chain. For size S/M, the chain should measure approximately 140 cm (55.1 inches), while size L/XL requires a chain of approximately 170 cm (67 inches). The crocheter then works single crochet stitches into the second chain from the hook and continues to the end of the chain before turning to begin the next row. The pattern notes that the stitch used is quite sturdy, which means the finished skirt will be smaller than the chain measurement might suggest. This is intentional and accounts for the wrap construction where fabric overlaps. The pattern continues with repeated stitch sequences as indicated in the instructions. Once the body of the skirt is complete, a rubber band or string is added to create an adjustable waistband, and a crocheted edging is worked around the hem to finish the garment.
