Beachwalker skirt

Introducing our delightful Sideways-Knit Skirt, a mesmerizing creation that captures the essence of summer days spent by the shore. This beautifully designed skirt evokes thoughts of shimmering sand, gentle sea breezes, and expansive summer skies adorned with the faintest hints of clouds. Your favorite girl will adore this cotton and linen skirt, which is not only perfect for beach play, but also ideal for casual lounging at home!

This unique skirt features a flattering knee-length shape, enhanced by short-row gores that elegantly contour the fit. Short rows are a quick and effective technique to alter the silhouette of a knitted garment without the need for complicated increases or decreases. In this pattern, you'll knit a portion of the row, then turn your work to knit back across the stitches just completed. Unlike traditional short row techniques, there’s no need to wrap the turned stitches here; this creates a charming eyelet that is intentionally decorative and adds character to your skirt.

This fashionable skirt beautifully complements the Beachwalker Top, another stunning design available from Katherine Vaughan Designs. Both patterns were originally published in the popular knitting magazine Love of Knitting, Summer 2010, making them a perfect duo for your summer wardrobe. Whether you’re crafting for yourself or for a special young girl in your life, this set is sure to bring joy and style to any summer occasion.
