About

The Sage Seed Skirt is an A-line mini skirt with seed stitch and cables.


The Sage Seed Skirt is started with a stockinette waistband that features a picot edge. An elastic is inserted into the waistband to ensure a proper fit of the skirt. Then, the seed and cable stitch patterns are worked over the entire skirt. Increases are worked around the side seams. The pattern contains instructions for three different hip sizes for each size (XXS-5XL) to create a custom fit.


Finally, we continue increasing from the hips for the A-line shape. The hem of the skirt is finished with a folded picot edge.
