I need to remember my little modification on the pattern rows 1 and 2. I made the alteration because I found the YOs before and after the P2 made an eyelet that was much bigger than on the other rows of the pattern and couldn’t pull the YO tight enough to make them the same as the other YOs.

Modification:
Row 1: omit the YO immediately before and after the P2 all across the row.
Row 2: pick up a stitch and P immediately before and after the K2 all across the row.

2020-07-19: I’ve also decided to do to the increases all across the width of the “skirt”, rather than just the front sections. I’m in the home stretch: 6 more pattern rows, 8 rows of ribbing, then the bind off.
