ABOUT THE PATTERN
The Everest Skirt is worked from the bottom up in the round on circular needles. First work the pleats, then shape them, then work the upper part of the skirt, then work the waistband.
The Everest Skirt is incredibly lightweight and comfortable to wear.
SIZES

Sizes above correspond with the following waist and hips circumference:
Waist: 58-63 (64-69) 70-75 (76-80) 81-85 (86-90) 91-95 (96-100) 101-105 cm

Measure your own waist and hips circumference to determine which size will fit you the best. If your waist and hip circumferences correspond to 2 different sizes, we recommend you choose the size corresponding to your hips circumference.
Example: Waist circumference 61 cm ( = size S )/ Hips circumference 94 cm (= size M ), you will need to knit size M.

YARNS AND MATERIALS
Approx. 275 (275) 300 (325) 350 (375) 400 (425) 450 g of Cashemire Premium from Lang Yarn – color 78.0090 100% cashmere (25 g = 115 m)
Other yarn suggestion: Arwetta from Filcolana.
Circular needles 3.5 mm (80 & 150 cm)
To knit the skirt, it is essential to use needles with a very long cable. For this design, I used Chiagoo brand needles. They glide smoothly, and the cable remains tangle-free.
Two double pointed needles 3.5 mm to shape the pleats
Elastic 2.5 cm in width – if you plan to knit the skirt in a dark color, it is recommended to use a black elastic.
Tapestry needle
GAUGE
Pre-blocked gauge: 25 sts x 36 rows = 10 x 10 cm in Stockinette Stitch on needle size 3.5 mm.
Post-blocked gauge: 23 sts x 35 rows = 10 x 10 cm in Stockinette Stitch on needle size 3.5 mm.
Make a swatch to achieve the same gauge as indicated above. Needle size is only a guide. If you get too many stitches on 10 cm = 4”, change to a larger needle size. If you get too few stitches on 10 cm = 4”, change to a smaller needle size.
