The Ultimate Free Skirt
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 DK- to worsted-weight yarns, you could easily buy a skirt quantity and not use leftovers, with an equally beautiful result. By using leftovers,
however, the yarn ultimately is “free”!
Pattern includes instructions for making a Magic Yarn Ball using your leftover scraps of yarn.
Finished Sizes
All sizes assume 6” distance between the natural waist
and full hip. Additional flare continues beyond the
full hip to mid thigh, then continues straight. Waist
measurements are 5” less than the hip measurements
stated below, which assume 0” - 1” of ease. Length can
be easily adjusted, but yardage quantities assume a total
length from waist of 20”.
