This skirt is the perfect use for verigated or self striping sock yarn. Double strand it to create a DK/light worsted weight yarn and a nice drapey fabric. The double stranding will prevent pooling in verigated yarns and create a cool break in the striping to selp-striping yarn. Solids of 2 colors could also be used to create a tweed effect.

Pattern is available as a Soaker Sack for Newborns or as a Big Girl Skirt approximately 4T in size. Suggestions for knitting other sizes and other gauges will be given.

This is a gauge and calculate longies pattern. Featuring a wide waist band, many short rows (including one set of zig-zag short rows, a-la Elizabeth Zimmerman,) a roomy crotch gusset, and customizable leg cuffs. Sometimes, crocheted cuffs are even used.
