Ornament Skirt is a modern twist and reinterpretation of the classic Christmas Skirt. It is part of our 2026 Christmas collection.
Ornament Skirt features a decorative border of baubles hanging from spruce branches – just like on a decorated Christmas tree. It is worked entirely in the round and from the bottom up in stockinette stitch using 1 strand of either Merino or Pure Silk + 1 strand of Soft Silk Mohair held together throughout. The skirt is finished with a folded waistband that has an elastic inserted for a comfortable and flexible fit.
The Fair Isle pattern is charted only, with details embroidered on afterwards.
