This sophisticated skirt is quick to knit, worked in the round from the waistband to the hem. The A-line shape skims your figure without clinging and the lace edging, which is knit separately and sewn on, sways gently as you walk. Rather than sewing in a lining, I suggest layering this skirt over a slip that is a darker color than the yarn.
