ABOUT
The Valentine Skirt pattern is available in English, German & Dutch and contains a link to a video tutorial (how to close the waistband).

This is an easy to knit and playful skirt that is worked from the top down in stockinette stitch, with eyelet increases. You can choose to knit the skirt with 8 or 6 sections, depending on how wide you’d like the skirt to become. A decorative eyelet hem makes a nice finish. The integrated elastic in the waistband (with practical opening on the inside) makes it possible to adjust the size of the skirt.
