Waffle Loop Skirt

**WAFFLE_LOOP_SKIRT** is a skirt with waffle texture, a high waist and a straight silhouette. The pattern includes options for 2 different lengths: for a short and a midi length skirt. The skirt is worked top down. First, the waistband is worked in stockinette stitch in the round. It is then folded in half and knitted down. From here, you work in waffle texture and short rows are worked to lengthen the back relative to the front. Then, waffle texture is worked in the round with increases for the hips on both sides of the work. **Sizes_** XS (S) (M) (L) XL (XXL) **Measurements_** Waist_ 53,5 (59,5) 65,5 (70) 78 (84) Hips_ 80 (86) 93 (98) 106 (112) Length_ Short / Midi length: 46 (47) 48 (49) 50 (51) / 74 (75) 76 (77) 78 (79) cm measured from under the waistband at the back.
