Inspired by the complimentary colors of this cotton/linen blend yarn, I envisioned a tiered, feminine skirt created with a thicker yarn for a faster knit. Worked at a smaller gauge than suggested, this skirt gives you the coverage you want and will look great all day long!
You can easily make the skirt longer by adding additional tiers at the bottom.

The skirt is worked in one piece, starting at the waistband. You add increases for the hip shaping, and a lovely, simple cable follows the curve of the hips. The lace panels require a bit more attention, but with only 2 repeats of the pattern, it works up quickly.
