It is a gathered skirt adorned with a delicate lace hemline. The skirt is worked from the top down, starting with a waistband that allows for an encased elastic. The lace hemline is knitted-on (sideways) to the live skirt stitches, and the lace is seamlessly joined at the end.
Smooth fabric with lovely drape will move beautifully as you walk.

Options:

  • a skirt with subtle flare
  • a skirt with full flare

The pattern includes:

  • charted and written instructions
  • detail instructions on how to work and join the lace
  • detail instructions on finishings
  • many useful tips throughout the pattern
  • tips on how to customize length (longer/shorter skirt, wearing the skirt at natural waist line)
