the flare skirt
The flare skirt is a seamless A-line miniskirt knitted from the top down.
Sizes
Sizes XS (S) M (L) XL
are designed to fit a waist circumference of 58-63 (64-68) 69-74 (75-79) 80-85 cm 22¾-24¾ (25¼-26¾) 27¼-29¼ (29½-31) 31½-33½ inches

Needles
Circular needles : 3.5 mm US4 / 100 or 120 cm 40 or 47 inches
I find it’s more practical to use circular needles that are a bit wider than your hip measure
ment so that you can easily try the skirt on as you go.
Gauge
19 stitches x 32 rounds = 10 x 10 cm 4 x 4 inches in stockinette stitch on 3.5 mm US4
needles after blocking
Make sure to swatch in the round, as your gauge may vary significantly from knitting flat.

200 (250) 250 (300) 350 g of Line by Sandnes Garn or any substitute
The burgundy skirt was knitted in the color Dyp Burgunder
