Join us over on the Canary Knits group in the Ghosts KAL to win prizes (including the entire Ghosts ebook), find company, and have fun!

Athenodorus is part of the ebook Ghosts: historiographies, cultural manifestations, and the knits they’ve inspired.

In a bit of knitterly magic, fingering weight yarn seems to transform to a bulky weight in this dramatic skirt.
The ribbon at the waist cinches the skirt in, keeping it in place functionally and fashionably. A whimsical garment, this piece will keep you warm through the autumn and winter months.

Wear it with a thinner ribbon, or insert an invisible elastic for a less dramatic look.

This knit includes a turned hem waist, which encloses a wide ribbon for cinching, and features four different yarn weights and gauges. The skirt transforms from a delicate, fingering-weight skirt at the waist to a substantial, lofty bulky weight at the bottom.

Because of the great changes in needle size, it is recommended that you have interchangeable needles.
