This pattern is more of a formula or guideline than a strict pattern. You will need to measure yourself to determine the number of stitches to cast on, the math is given for you though.
You'll know why we call it the 'Back and Forth' skirt when you knit up this quick skirt. The slightly textured pattern lets you knit 'Back and Forth' in regular knitting, then twisting the stitches which creates a stretchy and comfortable fabric. This can be knit to any length and looks great as a mini skirt or as a knee length pencil skirt.
