Sommarøy Skirt is a light and airy summer skirt that can be used with the Sommarøy T-shirt or Sommarøy Top. The elongated-stitch technique is easy to knit and creates a beautiful texture on the skirt. The skirt is knitted in the lovely Silk Linen, which has a beautiful surface and is perfect for warm days.
