Simple A-line skirt knit circularly from the hem edge up. Flower stitch adds textural interest to the fabric and keeps the knitting interesting. Belt loops complete your summer stunner. This is a swatch-intensive project – knitting light worsted cotton yarn to a more open gauge keeps this skirt from getting too heavy. Any ‘drop’ during wearing is snapped back into shape by the machine-wash and dry of easy-care yarn!
