Bold colors used as an accent are perfect for showing movement in ruffles, like the ones on the split of this skirt. I created this garment for layering over warm leggings and a long-sleeved t-shirt in winter, and carried forward into other seasons with lighter weight, neutral undergarments or even swimwear.

The stitches are easy and rather repetitive while the construction is interesting. You have relaxing parts to work when you don’t want to concentrate, and more focused tasks that could expand your skills as you complete your project.

The skirt width is sized for your largest lower body circumference measurement. This might be around your hips, stomach, or elsewhere, depending on your figure shape. The pattern can easily be adapted for a better fit for your exact size. The waistband will stretch to the same length to go over your hips and is cinched with a cord.

In pattern gauge: 6 sts = 4”, 8 rows = 4” after blocking
In ribbing gauge: 12 sts = 2”, 20 rows = 4” after blocking

This is a very flexible garment, enabling it to work with many different outfits for a wide range of scenarios.
