This is one of two skirt designs that were created as part of the Two Sides - Two Points FLY (From Leftover Yarn) Skirt Knit-a-long. Although the design is specifically for using up leftover sock/fingering-weight yarns, you could easily buy a skirt quantity and not use leftovers, with an equally beautiful result.

This skirt is worked with two strands of fingering weight yarn held together throughout. It’s a great way to use up leftover or single skeins in your stash.

Pattern includes instructions for making a magic yarn ball of leftovers to use in this skirt.
