Notes

Modifications made to create a seamless project.

  1. Knitted the i-cord first.
  2. After knitting the waistband, I picked up the cast on stitches while I encased the i-cord.
  3. I turned the cable into a reversible one so that I could wear the skirt knit or purl side out.
  • Doing these 3 steps allowed me to decide which length I wanted for my skirt.
