Knitted Skirt Workshop, Sept 29th, Oct 13th & 27th, Nov 10th, 2-4pm
Have you ever wanted to knit a skirt? Some of us feel fear in wearing a knitted skirt. But this one is fun and super flattering and slimming..... honest!!
Our teacher, Sherry Smith, will guide you through the process. She has made around 10 of these and they look amazing when she wears them!
This pattern is designed by Ann Budd to have 1” to 2”(2.5 to 5 cm) negative ease around the waist and hips, this skirt stretches as necessary for a slimming fit. Choose a size 1” to 2” (2.5 to 5 cm) smaller than your actual measurements.
Four darts shape the hips, then purl stitches are added between 17 (18, 19, 20) fifteen-stitch panels. Purl stitches are inserted between the “pleat” panels; the flare at the lower edge is created by progressively increasing the number of purl stitches. The stitches on each side of the “pleat” panels are worked through the back loop (tbl) to maintain crisp edges at the transitions between the knit and purl stitches.
Let's give it a go!!
