The creamy natural texture of Kerry Woollen Mills organic yarn is showcased beautifully with this sleek skirt. Figure hugging to the knee, the kick pleats on each side hide a little Aran detailing that provides lots of extra room for leg movement.
Knit in the round from the bottom up, you can customize the length of this skirt to suit your figure because it’s easy to add extra length if you need it. Worked in a lighter yarn to reduce bulk, the simplicity of the design allows you to knit this skirt very quickly.
