ABOUT PATTERN
The Everest Skirt is worked from the bottom up in the round on circular needles. First work the pleats, then shape them, then work
the upper part of the skirt, then work the waistband.
The Everest Skirt is incredibly lightweight and comfortable to wear.

SIZES
XS (S) M (L) XL (2XL) 3XL (4XL) 5XL
Sizes above correspond with the following waist and hips circumference:
Waist: 58-63 (64-69) 70-75 (76-80) 81-85 (86-90) 91-95 (96-100) 101-105 cm
Hips: 86-90 (91-95) 96-100 (101-105) 106-110 (111-115) 116-120 (121-125) 126-130 cm
Measure your own waist and hips circumference to determine which size will fit you the best. If your waist and hip circumferences
correspond to 2 different sizes, we recommend you choose the size corresponding to your hips circumference.
Example: Waist circumference 61 cm ( = size S )/ Hips circumference 94 cm (= size M ), you will need to knit size M.
Photos above: Size S / 168 cm tall / Waist circumference: 67 cm / Hips circumference: 91 cm

YARNS AND MATERIALS
Approx. 275 (275) 300 (325) 350 (375) 400 (425) 450 g of Cashemire Premium from Lang Yarn, Color 78.0090 100% cashemire
25 g = 115 m

Other yarn suggestion: Arwetta from Filcolana.
Circular needles 3.5 mm (US4) 80 & 150 cm
To knit the skirt, it is essential to use needles with a very long cable. For this design, I used Chiagoo brand needles. They glide
smoothly, and the cable remains tangle-free.
Two double pointed needles 3.5 mm to shape the pleats
Elastic 2.5 cm in width - if you plan to knit the skirt in a dark color, it is recommended to use a black elastic.
Tapestry needle

GAUGE
Pre-blocked gauge: 25 sts x 36 rows = 10 x 10 cm in Stockinette Stitch on needle size 3.5 mm.
Post-blocked gauge: 23 sts x 35 rows = 10 x 10 cm in Stockinette Stitch on needle size 3.5 mm.
Make a swatch to achieve the same gauge as indicated above. Needle size is only a guide. If you get too many stitches on
10 cm = 4”, change to a larger needle size. If you get too few stitches on 10 cm = 4”, change to a smaller needle size.
