Knitting pattern/instructions to make 1960s/1970s Hippy/Boho/festival style patchwork flared trousers & long skirt.

  • Size: Trousers to fit 36" hips, inside leg 30".  Skirt can be made to any length.  
  • Materials required: 4 ply yarn to achieve the required tension.  Approx amounts.  The original patterned used mercerised crochet cotton, 2 ounce balls/142 metres.
    • 12 x 2 ounce balls (approx 680 grams) each in 15 colours.
    • Pair No. 9 (3.75  mm) knitting needles. 
  • Tension: 19 sts square to 3 1/4 inches.


Due to the age of the pattern, the original yarn suggested may not be available.  It is recommended to crochet/knit a tension square with your chosen yarn, before starting, to ensure the finished garment or item is the size you require.

UK orders - The pattern is printed in A4 format on heavy weight paper with colour photos and charts where applicable.  It will be posted in a plastic sleeve and board backed envelope to protect it.

The pattern will be sent via royal mail 2nd class to keep costs down, and I get proof of postage.  Other than weekends I can usually post your pattern within 24 hours.  Whilst I make every effort to ensure the patterns are protected well for transit, should there be any issues with the pattern, please contact me to allow me to resolve them before leaving feedback.

Postage and packaging costs quoted are for mainland UK via Royal Mail. Certain areas of Scotland and Ireland may unfortunately incur additional postage charges.  I am happy to search for the cheapest postage cost for delivery to non-standard service areas, please ask before bidding.

From August 2020 eBay are charging sellers for handling payments per individual transaction.  As such I will continue to combine postage for multiple patterns 'paid for separately', however, unfortunately I cannot refund the new eBay payment handling charges.  Please purchase multiple patterns together in one transaction for automatic postage discounts.
