“An excuse to buy boots.”

The Simple Straight Skirt is the first skirt we designed, and it quickly became a favorite among customers and staff. We like to wear it casually with leggings and boots, or dress it up a bit.

First skirt? No problem! Our Classics pattern walks you through getting the perfect fit―waist, length, and hip to waist ratio. Wear it at your natural waist, or adjust elastic waistband to sit lower on your hip. Whatever is most comfortable and suits your style. Pattern also shows images of a sporty 16" length and a suit-ier 19" length but you can make it any length you like. We've worked out all the math (and yardage) for you, inch by inch.

Soon to become part of your go-to wardrobe for fall and winter, and a great excuse to buy boots!

Knitter's notes

Knit from the waist down, fabric is stockinette with a ribbed hem. A provisional cast-on starts the waistband, joined and knit in the round. Then stitches are divided for front and back panels, knit flat, and seamed when knitting is complete. Side seams give flattering structure and strength, and combined with the knit-down fabric (smaller needles, tighter gauge), your skirt will retain its shape.
