Kyi
Introducing the Kyi asymmetrical skirt, a unique design inspired by Norse culture, where "Kyi" translates to shelter. This eye-catching skirt features extra side width that cleverly transforms into pockets at the waist, making it as functional as it is stylish. The innovative side seams allow the pockets to fold over seamlessly, adding a modern twist to a classic silhouette. For added comfort, the waistband is crafted from a knitted double in stockinette stitch and incorporates inserted boot laces, providing a secure yet comfortable fit. Whether you choose to wear the Kyi skirt as a poncho for a relaxed vibe or pair it with the matching Rym ballet top for a coordinated look, this versatile piece is sure to elevate your wardrobe. The Kyi skirt is beautifully knitted in the soft, bouncy Vidde lambswool from Hillesvåg Ullvarefabrikk, ensuring warmth and comfort without sacrificing style.
This stylish skirt is showcased in a size Small, but it can be adapted for various sizes to meet your sewing needs.
Gauge: To achieve the perfect fit, maintain a gauge of 18 stitches and 24 rows in stockinette stitch using a 4.5 mm/US 7 needle, which measures 10 cm square after blocking.
Notes: The Kyi skirt is worked back and forth in two distinct pieces that are seamed together for a polished finish. The two horizontal top pockets are integrated into the front design, with their linings attached horizontally at the bottom and closed at the top. This is accomplished by working the lining together with the back using a 3-needle bind-off technique, culminating in a neat I-cord bind-off for a stylish pocket band. For visual guidance on this technique, follow the video link included in the pattern. The innovative waistband is crafted like a hem, providing a chic finish while cleverly concealing boot laces inside for a comfortable wear.
