Easy Summer Skirt

ABOUT THE PATTERN
DIFFICULTY: Medium

The Easy Summer Skirt is knitted from the top down, with short rows to make it higher at the back. It has a folded hem at the waistline, through which elastic is threaded at the end. The bottom edge finishes with ribbing.

The skirt is a companion to the Beginner's Blouse Light, and together they form a true knitted summer set.

SIZE GUIDE

The measurements provided are for the finished skirt. It is designed to have a positive ease of 10 cm. Choose your size based on your hip measurement. If your hip measurement is 100 + 10 = 110, you should choose to knit a size M, which is the size closest to your own measurement. However, you can also go down a size for a tighter fit. Remember that cotton yarn will stretch with use.
