Sunday Brunch is a contemporary interpretation of a classic wardrobe staple, the pencil skirt. It is feminine, fitted and can be dressed up or down with a simple switch from pumps to flats.

This pattern is worked in the round from the hem up. The length of the skirt is easily customizable and the skirt can be tried on as you knit it. Please note that lengthening the skirt will affect the amount of yarn required to complete the project.

The skirt starts with either a picot cast on or garter stitch hem. Instructions for both variations are
provided.

Choose the circumference that measures 0-6 inches less than the wearer’s hip measurement, depending on desired fit. Elastic is used to ensure the waistband is adaptable to multiple waist measurements.
