The Paz Skirt utilizes linked stitches (short rows of Tunisian) to create a faux pleated look to this skirt that is flattering to all. The skirt body is worked sideways and then the waistband casing is created for the elastic waist. The skirt is seamed and an optional border is added to the bottom edge.

You don’t need any special hooks or skills to follow this pattern. A photo tutorial is included! In addition, there are instructions for customizing this pattern to fit your child perfectly!

Approximate Yardage Per Size
Petite--length, 18”--36.5 yds per 2 row rep
Regular--length, 20”--39 yds per 2 row rep
Tall--length, 22”--41.5 yds per 2 row rep
XTall--length, 24”--44 yds per 2 row rep

How to estimate yardage for women’s sizes:
2 row repeats for women’s sizes are equal to approximately 1.4” (across the top of the skirt). Measure widest part around to figure out how many repeats you need. For example, my widest part around is 48”. 48 divided by 1.4 equals 34.28. So, I will need to do 35 2-row repeats to be able to fit around and pull up my skirt (70 rows total). Don’t worry if your waist is much smaller; the elastic waistband will pull it in to fit.
The math:
35 multiplied by the estimated yardage of 41.5 yards for the tall size. I will need approximately 1452.5 yards for my skirt. (Note that this is a rough estimate and not my exact yardage.)
The formula:
Inches around hips = number of 2 row repeats needed
1.4

(Number of 2 row repeats needed) X (Number of yards per 2 row repeat—see chart above) = Yardage estimate
