My little girl loves to wear twirly and girly dresses and skirts. I try to keep up with her demands by designing more and more skirts for her.
I hope you enjoy the pattern too!
The
pattern was worked around 2 factors:
Ø the
lace pattern in between the eyelets is a 12 st repeat, so the number of
stitches before the lace starts should be a multiple of 12;
Ø the
lace edging at the end is a multiple of 4.
So
when you knit your skirt keep these two things in mind, and you will be able to
customize the fit of the garment.

What a pretty skirt! :)
ReplyDeleteHi, I'm relatively new to knitting still (but have managed to get the hang of circular needles and lace already) My step daughter is 8 and ADORES this pattern but I don't know how to size it up...could you help please? she has an average 6 year old waist but scarily long legs :) x
ReplyDeleteI am knitting this pattern and Have torn it back several times because I find the instructions confusing. I am knitting the 2-3T size starting with 100 stitches. I do the first increase row, so now I have 104 stitches. The pattern says to keep knitting "in the established fashion for 0 (5, 5, 6, 6, 6) rounds."
ReplyDeleteThen the next increase for 1-2T says I will have 120 stitches. That implies I have done 3 increase rounds in the five previous rounds... does this mean I increase every other row?
I would like to get past this point! Please help.
