H hook
I used 2 skeins of Lion Brand Homespun yarn, which was, in my opinion, a mistake. The Homespun yarn is very heavy for a skirt. When I make one for my seven-year-old, I will definitely use a lighter weight yarn.

Size: approx. a size 4-5. (The skirt is actually just a rectangle and sewed up the back.)
If you need to increase this for a bigger size, make sure you do a multiple of 4 + 3.

For a lining, cut a rectangle-shaped piece of light-weight material, slightly smaller than the skirt and stitch it to the wrong side of the skirt.
(You can make this longer for a bigger size, if you just increase the rows.)
I sewed up the seam to make the back.
I use elastic on all my daughter’s skirts. So I take the 3/4 inch elastic, measure it to my daughter and cut. Then I sew the one end into a circle. Then I sc the elastic to the first row of the skirt.
Or you can stitch it to the skirt. Fasten off and weave in ends.
