Notes

Dead-on gauge (row and sts) on size 4s. Will definitely need a liner or slip though; it’s a little loose with the Kauni.

Because I’m doing this with two colors, I’ve made some minor adjustments to the I-cord portion of the pattern. Once the gore is done, switch to the contrast color (CC) and join at the waistband edge of the skirt (the main color (MC) should be at the hem). Purl all the stitches with the CC. Continue applied I-cord as instructed until the last row. For the last row of the I-cord (the row where you pick up stitches), break CC, turn work so RS is facing, and use the MC at the hem edge to pick up stitches per original pattern.

This results in an extra row per gore to allow you to carry the MC along the hem instead of breaking the yarn every gore.

Knitting done March 15th, 2014. Need to add elastic and sew down hem, block.
