Create the whimsical Melia Skirt for yourself with this 12 Page pattern! This pattern includes a mixture of written instructions, photos and a supporting stitch diagram. This pattern does not require use of the stitch diagram- all the information is included in the written steps. The stitch diagram is simply there for additional support!

The Melia Skirt features lots of gorgeous leafy lace gathered into a simple ribbed waistband, creating serious twirl and flare every time you move! Make this skirt as long or as short as you like with simple adjustments explained in the pattern.

Using repeating steps, this pattern is meditative and works up beautifully and surprisingly quickly in any colour!
