From the pattern description:  "this contemporary skirt with a vintage flair is worked back and forth from the bottom up. The front and back are the same. The bottom half is made of lace panels, three in the front and three in the back. It looks pretty with a delicate blouse but is just as much fun with a sweater and boots.

Pattern calls for 2 24" circular needles, size US 6, and one 25" circular needles, size US 5.
