Top-heavy figures and lots of other women, too, rock the knitted skirt. This version is exceptionally lovely, with gorgeous wide ribbing and a sweet lace border. The sturdy, soft Organic Wool from Lion Brand’s LB Collection is a perfect pair for this stitch pattern.

This skirt is worked from the waist down. The waistband has a casing with elastic inserted inside. A lace border is knit onto the lower edge at the end.

You will need approximately 5 (5, 5, 6, 6, 6, 7, 7, 7, 8) hanks for the skirt.
