Note, that the approximate yardage is for the skirt only, and not the fringes. The sample uses leftovers from the skein for the fringes.

NOTES
Ria is knit in one piece, in the round, starting from the waistband down. The thick waistband and drawstring help the skirt to keep its shape. Fringes and beads (optional) are added at the end. The pattern is easily customizable to any length or size: you can opt to make your skirt longer, shorter or wider if you would like. Make note that for any modifications you will need to add more yarn.
