Tower of Strength

Tower of Strength: A Charming 3-Colour Stranded Knitting Skirt Pattern Dive into a delightful knitting project with our Tower of Strength skirt pattern, featuring a captivating three-colour combination through stranded knitting techniques. This chic skirt is designed to be knitted in the round from the top-down, allowing you the flexibility to customize its length according to your personal style and preference. Whether you opt for bold hues or soft pastels, you can easily mix and match colours to create a unique piece of wearable art that truly reflects your individuality.

This stunning skirt is tailored to fit closely against the body, with the waistband positioned just above the high hip, approximately 7 inches (17.75 cm) above the full hip. For added comfort and support, the waistband incorporates a thin elastic cord, meticulously woven into the stitches using a yarn needle, ensuring a secure yet comfortable fit.

The skirt’s vibrant design is achieved by working two strands of yarn at a time, reminiscent of traditional Fair Isle knitting, and arranged in a harmonious comb-like pattern. The distinctive nature of stranded knitting not only produces a thick and firm fabric but also enhances elasticity, making it a comfortable choice for daily wear.

Essential Materials & Tools To create your own Tower of Strength skirt, you will need: • 1 yard / metre of thin elastic cord for securing the waistband. • US 6 (4mm) Circular Needles, 32” (80cm) long (or your preferred needle length). We recommend using high-quality yarn that suits your colour combination and desired texture.

Whether you're an experienced knitter or a motivated beginner, this pattern offers a rewarding challenge and the chance to showcase your creativity. Perfect for all seasons, the Tower of Strength skirt is a versatile addition to any wardrobe. Download your free pattern today, and start crafting your own stylish statement piece!
