Construction and Design
This 8 panel skirt comes with the options for a demure half circle or a three quarter circle for maximum twirl factor. Knit seamlessly in the round, this skirt includes full instructions to complete an enclosed elastic waistband which ensures this skirt stays put no matter what and also makes sure the fit is perfect. A simple but pretty lace detail shapes the skirt panels and hides the increases in the pattern. This skirt is designed to work well when striping different coloured yarn and is great for stash busting!
This skirt has the most beautiful movement, It is swishy and drapey and shows the shape of the waist and hips without being clingy. It is an incredibly versatile and flattering shape.
This pattern includes FULL row by row instructions and is suitable for beginners.
