LEFTOVERICA is a beautiful striped skirt or (summer) strapless dress. Extremely pleasant on the skin, breathable elastic fabric, follows the movement, great styling possibilities. It’s suitable for all ages and all seasons.

By alternating different knit stitches and yarn colors, a rich and colorful texture is obtained. Pattern is written in English (no chart), stitch by stitch, row by row. I have provided you with some video links for important stitches.

You need :

1. Yarns - this sample is knitted from leftover mercerized cotton yarn in 9 colors and 2 different thickness, 50gr/125m (136,7yds) and 50gr/142m (155,3yds). 375 gr of cotton yarn is used for the skirt size M on photos. You can also use woolen or mixed yarn.

You can also use only one color of yarn, in the same amount (yardage). It will be faster, without ends…The final design depends only on your imagination.
