Knit leaves drift down against a purl background all around this drapey skirt. Its gentle A–line shaping grows naturally out of the motifs, leaving the rest of the garment simple and uncluttered. Mau ochiba describes in Japanese the dance of leaves falling from the tree.

This skirt is available in a large range of sizes, from 32” - 54” hip measurement. Using a very simple template, you plug in the number appropriate for your size, instead of having to hunt your number is a sea of parentheses, armed only with a highlighter pen.
