Don't miss out on an exclusive opportunity! Sign up for my newsletter at LorileeBeltman.com to receive a discount on the pattern upon its launch. **Materials Needed:** - Main color: Traveler Sport yarn - Contrast color: Primo Fingering yarn The design features a simple yet stylish A-line shape that, combined with a flowy fabric, offers a flattering fit for a variety of body types. The skirt is constructed from the bottom up, leading to a comfortable waist casing designed to hold elastic for ease of wear. What sets this pattern apart is the eye-catching contrast provided by the vertically-stranded purl stitch columns. These details enhance the visual movement of the design, creating an appealing look that's both modern and sophisticated. While this technique may initially seem fussy, once you've completed a few inches, it becomes intuitive. For those seeking a more straightforward approach, you have the option to omit the contrast color and simply work the purls in the main color. The pattern is designed with accessibility in mind and includes Stitch-Maps for visual guidance (available at Stitch-maps.com), along with clear written instructions to suit your preference. Because the vertical stranding technique may be new to you, I encourage you to check out the tutorial to help you master this beautiful stitch. Elevate your knitting skills and adorn your wardrobe with this chic A-line skirt. Get ready to enjoy a blend of comfort and style that you can proudly say you've created!
