The very popular Virus stitch makes for a cute twirly skirt for the little ones.
This is created in 1 piece from the top down with no seams and 2 ends to sew in to finish.
Size is determined by the number of rows done in the yoke and then the number of chains at underarm points. I have explained how this is done.
This works well with the gradient yarns.
I found for the smallest size this took not all of a 200gram/800 meter cake.
