An A-line skirt with a folded waistband, lacy mock cables along the sides and a customizable length. The skirt is knit top-down, in the round. You can choose to make the skirt without the skirt slit. If you choose to split your skirt, subsequent rows will be knitted back and forth. The pattern comes with a schematic and chart for the pattern repeats.

This is a beginner-friendly pattern, with 2 optional modifications to optimize for fit and a seamless construction.
