The Cosmo Skirt
** Choose pattern language before purchase **
The Cosmo Skirt is a modern, adjustable wrap skirt designed to be knitted from the top down and customized entirely to your own measurements. Worked in smooth stockinette stitch with a subtle textured edge, it allows the sequin yarn to gently twist and shimmer as it moves around the hip—creating a playful yet elegant silhouette.
The skirt is shaped through simple back-and-forth knitting, making it an accessible and enjoyable project. It is worked to your preferred length, so you can easily adapt it from a short statement piece to a longer, more dramatic style. Two integrated tie straps are knitted directly from the top edge, allowing the skirt to be wrapped and fastened at one hip for a flexible and flattering fit.
Designed with drape and movement in mind, the Cosmo Skirt embraces the natural character of sequin yarn. The fabric will stretch and evolve as it is worn, giving each piece a unique expression.
