Tove Summer Skirt is a minimalistic summer maxi skirt with an interesting texture courtesy of Gepard Garn Cotton Waves yarn. Designed to sit at the lower waist below your belly button, the skirt is perfect to pair with your favourite bikinis and summer tops. The skirt is knitted in the round from top down and shaped with side increases. The work begins by creating a waistband for the elastic band. In the pattern, there are also instructions to modify the skirt to be high-waisted. We recommend a positive ease of approx. 5-10 cm around the hips. Full size guide is provided in the pattern.

Ps. Tove Summer Skirt also looks great as a mini skirt! For a 40 cm length mini skirt, you will need half of the recommended yarn amount.
