MEASUREMENTS
The Pola Skirt is designed to have approx. 15 cm of negative ease in waist and 40 cm of negative ease in hips Meaning it is design to be 15/40 cm smaller in circumference than your waist and hips measurements.
The skirt is form-fitting, but you’ll have no trouble walking in it.
It is advisable to knit it approximately 20 cm longer than your desired length, as it will naturally stretch in width when worn. For example, the skirt in the pictures above has a flat measurement: measuring flat, the length is 76 cm, whereas when worn, the length becomes 56 cm.
