Welcome to the Toprak Skirt pattern!

Toprak means earth or soil in Turkish. It represents the quiet strength beneath our feet, the concept of grounding, and things that are beautifully sculpted to endure. That is exactly what this skirt is designed to be a grounding staple for your hand-knitted wardrobe that embraces your body like a second skin.

Knitted skirts often carry a reputation for slipping, sagging, or losing their shape by midday. The Toprak Skirt was born out of a desire to change that narrative.

Combining meticulous tailoring with modern knitwear design, this piece features a highly strategic architectural shape. It is engineered to sit securely at your natural waist and follow the authentic curve of your hips with strategic volume distribution.

May this design bring a sense of grounding and comfort to both your needles and your daily rhythm.
(This pattern is part of the Toprak Set. Complete the look with the matching Toprak Tank Top.)
