Avaline Skirt
The Avaline Skirt is worked from the bottom edge up. The sts are cast on using the picot edge cast on method. The first part of the skirt has a simple eyelet pattern and the rest is worked in stockinette st. The skirt has a few short rows in the back to ensure the skirt does not appear shorter in the back. The skirt if finished by working a folded edge as a casing for an elastic band. The two smallest sizes come with instructions on how to work an attached bottom under the skirt - this ensures a better fit on a small child.
