Kalavale Skirt
The Kalavale skirt is an ode to layering. The wool mesh keeps you warm over trousers while still looking super cute. The waistband is fitted, but the rest of the skirt has a loose fit, allowing relaxed trousers to fit comfortably underneath. If desired, the pattern can be made more summery by replacing the wool yarn with bamboo or linen yarn.
To determine your correct size, check your waist circumference. The mesh section is wider than the waist measurement.
