Cutaway Skirt

This stylish skirt design draws inspiration from architectural cross-section drawings that reveal the intricate hidden layers beneath a building's facade. It also pays homage to the fashion of the early 1920s when women's skirts dramatically rose, offering a glimpse of calves for the first time—a shocking trend for that era! The addition of inset pleats not only enhances the skirt's aesthetic appeal but also introduces delightful movement, making it a truly wearable piece for any occasion. When knitting this skirt, it's essential to choose a yarn that provides both stretch and memory to ensure your finished garment retains its shape beautifully.

GAUGE
Achieve a precise gauge for your project: - With worsted weight yarn on the largest needles, aim for 20 stitches and 30 rounds in Stocking Stitch over a 4" swatch.
- If you're using fingering weight yarn on medium needles, you'll need 21 stitches and 30 rows in Stocking Stitch for the same 4" measurement.

Note: Using fingering weight yarn will create a sheer fabric, perfect for layering or warmer days.

FINISHED DIMENSIONS
Important: When selecting your size, base your choice on your hip measurement, as the waist will be adjustable with elastic for a comfortable fit.
- Waist: 25"(28", 31.5", 36", 41")
- Hips: 36"(39", 44", 47", 52")
- Hem: 44"(45.5", 52", 57", 61.5")
