70"s Mohair Skirt
Version 1
Knitted with 2 strands of yarn combined to double the warmth and cuddle factor! Worked in contrasting shades and Reverse Stocking stitch to create a heather effect.
Version 2
Worked in Garter stitch with a single strand of Mohair in a variegated shade. Both versions are suitable for a beginner knitter.
This skirt may be worn on the hips or waist, with the waistband folded to half width (for a shorter skirt) or extended to full width,
for a longer skirt.
