Fall is a time to frolic and have fun! Festivals, pumpkin patches, falling leaves, hay rides….it’s Fall ya’ll! However, the most fun thing you can do in Fall is to be sure to get your Groot on- that’s right, you heard me, it is time to literally get your Groot on! The Acorn colorway from The Fiber Seed just reminds me so much of one of my favorite characters of all-time, so how could I pass up the chance for you to wear your skirt and proudly tell everyone you see, “I am Groot?”

Pattern Notes:
This skirt is knit seamlessly in the round from the top down. The top ribbing is worked on smaller needles to give it an elastic-like feel, and the eyelet round serves as the perfect spot for your I-cord tie to provide that extra touch of stay-in-place skirt magic! The body of the skirt is all knit, with a carefully placed increases for the most flattering fit. The edge of the skirt is completed in a lacy leaf pattern, worked in a bright contrast color so that the leaves really pop.
