A lovely addition to any ladys wardrobe. This is a great skirt

knit in the round using a cute lace stitch pattern. Great for the
beach or for lounging around. Our Tatamy Tweed makes this an
easy care garment that gets softer as time goes by. It is sure to
become a favorite.

Notes:
1. Skirt is secured with an I cord tie threaded through yarn overs in the
waist band.
2. Skirt is knit in three tiers with increases between them.
3. Pattern is written for smallest size with larger sizes in parentheses. If
only one number is given it applies to all sizes.
4. To make skirt longer, add more lace patterns always ending with row 10
of pattern. If you do make skirt longer remember to pick up more yarn.
