Akimbo Skirt

If you share a passion for unique skirts, this stunning design featuring uneven hems and slanting lines is sure to catch your eye! This fabulous skirt is expertly knit seamlessly from the hem up, creating a streamlined silhouette that is both fashionable and comfortable. The piece is beautifully finished with a grosgrain ribbon waistband and strategically placed snaps, ensuring a smooth and flattering fit around your waist. The innovative slip-stitch pattern creates a fabric that combines the aesthetics of both knitting and weaving, allowing it to skim gracefully over the body without clinging to your curves.

One of the standout features of this pattern is the short rows used to shape the hem. With this clever technique, there’s no need to fuss with making or hiding wraps, as the slip-stitch pattern naturally conceals the turns, resulting in a polished finish. Whether you are knitting for yourself or looking to create a special gift, this skirt pattern is perfect for all skill levels, from beginner to advanced knitters.
