The ebook is available now with all 6 fairy skirts. The separate skirt patterns, will be added to the Ravelry database in the next few days.

Fairies, princesses, ballerinas, there is always magic in the air with little girls. Perpetually dancing, twirling and dressing up, here is the second skirt of my fairy skirt series - What Dreams Are Made Of.

Using lace mohair in an airy gauge, the skirt is going to be light, fluffy and beautiful.

And of course, there are choices for sparkles if you wish! By choosing a yarn with metallic thread or sequins, or by adding beads while knitting, you will add the right touch to the magic!

The pattern includes:
tips on knitting with mohair,
tips on knitting with beads,
scattered stitch/bead pattern,
suggestions to customize the skirt (e.g add flair,…)
many hem options (including eyelets, ruffles and lace),
waist shaping (optional).

Skill level:
The pattern is detailed enough to be adventurous beginner friendly, and at the some time interesting enough to capture the attention of a more advanced knitter as well.

Sizes (based on waist measurement):
baby (3m-12m): 18-20” / 46-51 cm
toddler (18m-4T):20-22” / 51-56 cm
child (5-8): 22-24” / 56-61 cm
tween (9-12): 24-26” / 61-66 cm

Gauge:
19-20 sts on US#6 / 4 mm needles

Yardage:
baby: 230-300 yds
toddler: 330-470 yds
child: 420-550 yds

Note: the higher number refers to skirt with added flair. If you choose hemline with ruffles, you will need an additional 50 to 200 yds.
