This 8 panel skirt comes with the options for a demure half circle or a full circle for maximum twirl factor. Knit seamlessly in the round, this skirt includes full instructions and a photo tutorial to complete an enclosed elastic waistband which ensures this skirt stays put no matter how exertive the play and also makes sure the fit is perfectly tailored to your child. A simple but pretty lace detail shapes the skirt panels and hides the increases in the pattern. This skirt is designed to work well when striping different coloured yarn and creates obvious vertical lines of slip stitches between each panel.
