Cable Skirt
Discover the exquisite Cable Skirt or Poncho, a stunning knitting pattern inspired by the visionary designs of the late Alexander McQueen. This original piece features a unique center braid cable, elegantly framed by a graceful tulip cable on each of its six panels. To enhance the visual appeal and texture, double seed stitches adorn the sides, adding an extra dimension to the intricate stitch pattern.
One of the standout elements of this design is the innovative waistband that replaces traditional elastic with a comfortable boot lace. This allows for easy adjustability, enabling you to wear the skirt at your hips instead of the waist for a more relaxed fit. It can also be styled as a chic poncho, giving you versatile options for any occasion.
The Cable Skirt or Poncho is crafted using the luxurious Berroco Ultra Alpaca Fine yarn, which includes a small percentage of nylon for added durability and shape retention. Perfect for transitional weather, this piece will keep its structure while providing warmth and softness against your skin.
