Damara
Introducing the stunning Damara asymmetrical skirt, a versatile piece named after the fertility Goddess. This unique design features a beautiful seeded rib check pattern and offers the added functionality of being worn as a poncho. Crafted for comfort and style, the high waist in ribbing is intentionally loose, allowing you to wear the skirt around your hips or fold it down for a different look—both styles can be enhanced with a stylish belt for a secure fit.
The Damara skirt is expertly knitted in pieces, showcasing a side seam that highlights the exquisite Hillesvåg Ullvarefabrikk Tinde yarn. This top-quality yarn is composed of 100% pelt wool, providing a soft and luxurious feel. The ribbing is worked last, enabling you to easily adjust the waist to your preference for maximum comfort and style.
Shown in size M/L, this skirt pattern is a must-have for your knitting wardrobe!
