Start with three colors of lace-weight yarn. Combine three strands in different color combinations. Knit short rows side to side. Put it all together and you have a magical gradient skirt transitioning in vertical stripes around the body, with a fun little flare at the hem line.

Choose three monochromatic colors or go wild. The choice is yours and the possibilities are limitless!
