Seneka
Introducing Seneka, an enchanting A-line skirt beautifully designed for versatility and style. The name "Seneka," a nickname for Senna, signifies brightness in Arabic—a fitting tribute to the vibrant aesthetic of this knitted piece. This skirt features a striking and elaborate cabled center, adding texture and sophistication to your wardrobe. The design culminates in a stylish waistband, knitted like a hem in one continuous piece, seamlessly incorporating boot laces for an edgy, customized touch. The Seneka can be worn as a chic skirt, a cozy poncho, or an elegant maxi hood, making it the perfect addition to your collection, especially when paired with the matching **Senna Cardigan**.
Yarn: Crafted from exquisite Neighborhood Fiber Co. Organic Studio Worsted (100% wool, 183 m/200 yds per skein, 113 g), the Seneka skirt offers both warmth and comfort. The showcased sample is knitted in the rich Woodberry shade. You will need 5 (5, 6, 6, 6, 7, 7, 7, 8) skeins, translating to 794 (842, 922, 1002, 1082, 1162, 1202, 1250, 1330) meters of luxurious yarn for a successful project.
Gauge: Achieve a gauge of 20 stitches and 28 rows in stockinette stitch using a 4 mm/US 6 needle, which measures 10 cm/4” square after blocking. This gauge is essential for ensuring your final piece fits perfectly.
Notes: The Seneka skirt is expertly knitted in separate pieces and then seamed together for a professional finish. If you're looking to customize the length of your skirt, you can easily remove up to 8 cm/3.25” or add extra length before shaping the hip area for a personalized fit. The innovative waistband is worked similarly to a hem, with boot laces expertly inserted for a trendy, secure closure before it is sealed. This unique feature not only adds style but also enhances the comfort of the wear. Embrace creativity and functionality with the Seneka skirt, a versatile project for knitters seeking to expand their skills and wardrobe!
