Level of difficulty: Advanced beginner

SIZES:

GARMENT MEASUREMENTS:

Approximate hip/seat circumference: 96 (101.5) 111.5 (121.5) 132 (144.5) 149.5 (157.5) 167 cm [37.75 (40) 44 (48) 52 (57) 60 (62) 65.75 in]

SIZE GUIDE:

The Nemy skirt is designed with 10cm [4 in] of positive ease. Measure your hip / seat circumference (widest part of your lower body) before deciding which size to knit.

Example: Your hip / seat measures 107.5cm [42.25in] at your widest. 107.5 + 10 = 117.5 cm [42.25 + 4 = 46.25 in]. In this case you would choose size 4 with a finished circumference of 121.5 cm [48 in]. If you wish your skirt to fit looser than the sample skirt in the photo, go up one size. (= 20 cm positive ease)

SUGGESTED NEEDLES:

3 mm [US 2.5] / circular needles

3.5 mm [US 4] / circular needles

Choose the cable length according to your waist circumference. I.e. Waist 86 cm [34 in] = 80 cm [32 in] cable.

WORKFLOW:

The skirt is worked top down, starting with the waistband. An elastic band will be incorporated inside the waistband to hold the skirt up comfortably. After the waistband is completed the rest of the skirt is worked in 5:5 rib (k5, p5) until you reach the desired length.
