LANDSCAPE SKIRT
This skirt is a knee length, slight A-line skirt, made with IsleYarns DK, and inspired by the landscape around that farm. In the skirt you can see the sea, the trees, the gates that close the fields, and the hills with rolling clouds.
The design is worked from the bottom up, with two color patterned bands made by stranded knitting, separated with small bands in the background color.
The design is made for four sizes: XS-S, M-L, XL-XXL, 3XL-4XL. The top of the skirt has an enclosed elastic waist band and the skirt is designed to fit snugly with a bit of flare going to the knees. If you want it to be shorter, there will be suggestions in the pattern.
The yarn is sturdy and soft after washing, the stitches are well defined, and it knits up like a dream. If you want to know more about the yarn you can read this special story: http://www.toltyarnandwool.com/blogs/blog/isle-yarns-1

GAUGE

I advise you to swatch, and choose your needles so you will get gauge. Changing needles may result in needing more or less yarn for your project.
