Low-rise, drop-waist mini with lacey faux pleats + endless styling options — knit seamlessly from the top down with optional mohair trim.

The Luna Skirt is a drop-waist mini skirt knit seamlessly from the top down in fingering weight yarn. The pattern features a folded elastic waistband, short-row shaping for a comfortable fit, and contrast stripes at the hips. A simple lace repeat creates faux pleats for the perfect flounce.

With 8 sizes (23–44” waist) and adjustable length, the luna skirt is designed to fit your style and your body. An optional laceweight mohair trim at the hem adds a dreamy, romantic finish whether you choose a moody, soft-grunge palette or something bright and playful.
