Need another skirt? You have come to the right place.

The skirt is worked top to bottom in the round. Then the pockets are worked flat and separate and sewn on afterwards. To help the skirt stay up there is a waistband/cord worked on a little 4 pin knitting loom. There are instructions on how to make your own 4 pin knitting loom in the pattern as well.
