Urban Girl Skirt received its name from the beautiful hand dyed Pima Cotton yarn by Urban Girl Yarns. The skirt has been designed with approx. 2 in 5 cm of positive ease. The elastic waistband construction provides additional flexibility in sizing. Suggested sizes for width and length can be customized with just a few adjustments. For example, for a shorter skirt, choose the cast on for a smaller size or for a longer skirt, choose a cast on for a larger size. For a wider skirt, choose more repeats of the panel section or for a narrower skirt, choose fewer repeats of the panel section.

Worked in the striped pattern the skirt is a hip and fun skirt. Choose the 2 color version in more subtle colors to create a more feminine and classic look. The color version has been worked with Knit Picks Cotlin and will be soon available for purchase directly from Knit Picks too.
