ABOUT THE PATTERN
Beyond Cables Skirt is worked top down with a mix of smaller and larger cables. You cast on for the ribbed waistband and then continue to work the skirt in the cable pattern while you shape it with increases. At the bottom of the skirt you make additional increases to give the skirt a slight bell shape. There are different alternatives for if you want to make the skirt longer and/or more flared. Lastly you finish off the skirt with a few garter rounds before you bind off.
