Angel Fish Skirt!








What a difference moving a bit away from the west coast makes! Winters here are real, white, cold, and gray.... Looks like I have been on a quest to create colorful designs just to brighten the winter up!


Skirts and dresses are what my little girl loves wearing the most.  After creating Tropical Fish Skirt, I thought it would be appropriate to keep with the theme of beautiful tropical lagoons, colorful fish and unusual shapes for this particular skirt too.  Here it is, Angel Fish Skirt, for my own and your little singing and dancing fishes.


The pattern is written for worsted weight yarn; however you may use the custom worksheet to use any other weight yarns.

The skirt is available as a stand alone pattern or a part of the Itty Bitty ebook.
