Basic knitted skirt. Made up the pattern, sized it using my SECRET SIZING METHOD. It is quite
beautiful.
Update: Okay so I see for some reason that this post is one of my post popular ones. I don't want to see all you vistors leave empty handed, so my secret sizing method is explained below.
The best way to size without having to do a test swatch and a bunch of math is to try it on as you go. The chart below gives a rough construction plan.

Secret Sizing Method! |
A few notes:
1) This is not neccessary, but it will look more professional if you use smaller needles for step 1. The rib will be tighter.
2) don't be too generous when trying it on because it will stretch a little and you don't want the skirt to just slip off your hips
3) A nice rib stitch is Knit for 2 rows, Purl for two rows.
