Description
ABOUT THE PATTERN
The Lulu Skirt is a wrap-style mini skirt, knit from the top down in garter stitch. Start your work with the waistband, then continue knitting the rest of the skirt, incorporating the buttonhole and increasing on each side. The waistband uses a provisional cast-on, but the remainder of the skirt is straightforward and beginner-friendly.

Sizes above correspond with the following measurements :

Measure your own waist and hips circumference to determine which size will fit you the best.
If your measurements fall between two sizes, for example: your waist measurement corresponds to size S and your hip measurement corresponds to size M, knit size M and use a half-size smaller needle for the waistband. In this example, knit the waistband with 3 mm needles and the body with 3.5 mm needles.
