Yep, texture is what the Hopeful Skirt is all about. The skirt is worked entirely in the round using a pattern that is so easy to remember, you can knit it in your sleep. What I love the most about this skirt is that waist shaping is achieved by going down one needle size to maintain the pattern making this pattern perfect for beginners who have never knitted a garment before. To finish off, elastic string cords are added to the waist band for a lovely snug fit. This one’s a doozy of a pattern that results in a fabulous skirt that you can dress up or down.
