The Fancypepitaskirt is a straight-cut mini skirt that is knitted using the jacquard technique with a beautiful pepita pattern in the front and back. Once front and back have been completed, they are joined together by the side sections knitted across. The hem is finished with an Icord edge for a neat finish and the waistband is also knitted on in the round.

Size guide
 
The skirt should roughly match the body measurements at both, the waist and hips, whereby the hip measurement is more important. If in doubt, disregard the waist measurement as this can be adjusted using the elasticated waistband.
