Panels of texture alternate with small gores of stockinette to create an interesting skirt to knit and wear. Each pattern, a variation of a rib, is worked separately to simplify the knitting. Stockinette panels
emphasize the patterns and provide the shaping.

Stitches picked up along the edge of each panel allow the knitting to be joined as you go, thus minimizing any finishing. The solid color and pencil-skirt styling make for a classic elegance. Perfect for work, an evening out, or any occasion.

Finished Sizes
All sizes assume 6” distance between the natural waist and full hip. Hip measurements stated below assume 0” - 1” of ease. 2” of additional skirt circumference is added below the hip. Length from waist is approximately 22”.
