Named Kyi, Norse for shelter, is this asymmetrical skirt with extra side width that are turned into pockets at the waist. The side seams make the pockets fold over. The waistband is knitted double in stockinette stitch at the end and has inserted boot laces for comfort. Wear it as a poncho instead if you prefer or together with the matching Rym ballet top. The Kyi skirt is knitted in the bouncy Vidde lambswool from Hillesvåg Ullvarefabrikk.

Notes: The skirt is worked back and forth in two pieces and seamed.

The waist band is worked like a hem, with boot laces laid inside it before it is closed. A circular needle is used to accommodate the large number of stitches.
