This classic skirt is worked with a deep ribbed waist to give it a neat fit, and adorned with colourful butterflies.

All the colourwork is charted and the skirt is gently shaped from the hem to the waist.

Needles & accessories:
1 pair of 3.25mm (US 3) straight knitting needles
Due to the large number of stitches on the needles at hem you may find it easier to use a circular needle at least 60cm (23.5in) long.
