Pattern Correction & Tips

• Pattern Correction: In the video, "back loop" refers specifically to the third loop behind the "V" of each stitch-ensure you're working in the correct loop for the defined texture.
• Tip:
  • Try on as you work to ensure a good fit, especially after each increase and decrease section.
  • For easier color changes, fasten off and join new yarn at the start of the next round.
  • Block the skirt for the best finish.
  • Adjust the starting chain, waistband rows, or skirt length for custom sizing.
  • Use stitch markers to easily identify the hip edges for increases/decreases.
