Closely worked in thick wool, this outfit is one of the smartest designs for sports and general winter wear. It is simply lovely under a tweed topcoat.

The check skirt is quite simple to knit-just a two-color lozenge design with running threads of the different wools sewn on afterwards.

Materials: 10oz. “Patona” knitting wool, No. 3213, navy/red; 12oz “Dunora” knitting wool, No 3021. coral; pair No. 9 “Beehive” needles; 1 No. 8 “Inox” crochet hook; 7-inch zip-fastener; petersham for waistband.

This skirt is part of a set which includes a hat and cardigan.
