Kōwhai
Kōwhai is the Māori word for ‘yellow’. It is also the name of a tree which has beautiful, bright yellow, tubular flowers with pointy petals. There is a Kōwhai tree in front of our house and the flowers inspired this skirt.
The skirt is knit from the top down and is a very simple pattern, definitely suitable for beginners.
It is sized from 6m/17” waist to 12y/25” waist. It is very easy to customise length with a chart that gives lengths for ages up to 12y.
The pattern is written for 3 yarn weights - sport, dk and worsted.
Yardage - Sport/Dk/Worsted (yards)
- 6m/17” 250/200/200
- 12m/18” 300/250/250
- 18m/19” 300/275/250
- 2y/20” 350/350/300
- 4y/21” 400/400/350
- 6y/22” 500/500/450
- 8y/23” 600/550/500
- 10y/24” 650/650/600
- 12y/25” 750/700/650
Gauge for sport is 24st/4”, dk is 22st/4” and worsted is 20st/4”
This pattern is ‘license free’. If you have personally hand-knit the pattern, feel free to do what you want with the finished garment including selling it.
