I like to think that I got my crafting genes from my great-grandmother. She was a knitter, crocheter, quilter, sewer, embroiderer, and all-around artist. On the back of her rocking chair there was always a chevron blanket, made from scraps left over at the end of other projects. This quick and simple skirt for her great-great-granddaughter, was inspired by her sense of practical beauty.

Personally, I love the Wooly Worsted, but any washable worsted would be great for this. Have fun playing with the colors and striping!
