Knitting description for the skirt

Back piece of the skirt: cast on 91 stitches with No. 5 needles and knit the lace pattern between the edge stitches. As a result of the decreases indicated in the pattern in the 47th and 51st rows, there will be 81 stitches on the needles. After 73 cm = 146 rows from the cast-on edge, knit with No. 4 needles. After 76 cm = 152 rows from the cast-on edge, bind off the stitches.

Front: knit in the same way.

Assembly: sew the side seams. For the waistband, with the yarn single, pick up 190 stitches along the bound-off edge with circular needles, knit 1 circular row purlwise, then knit in stockinette stitch in circular rows. After 3 cm from the start of the waistband, knit 1 circular row purlwise (fold line). After 6 cm from the start of the waistband, bind off the stitches.

Sew the waistband along the fold to the wrong side, leaving an opening for the elastic band. Insert the elastic band, sew the opening closed. Edge the bottom hem with 1 row of "crab stitch" (single crochet from left to right) using the crochet hook.
