Originally published in Interweave Crochet Summer 2018 as the Ever-New Skirt, this updated self-published version has an expanded size range, fit and customization tips, larger font, and an airier, simpler variation on the main design (shown in the Beige version pictured here).

The Keys Maxi Skirt is an airy, streamlined skirt that skims your shape. Wear it as a beach cover or layered over a fitted skirt or dress.
