Summer Solstice is a cute girl’s skirt in cool cotton. Worked from the top down, Summer Solstice’s increases are incorporated in four cable lace ridges to create just the right amount of girly flare. Knitting the skirt at a fairly large gauge for a DK yarn creates a summer-y, airy fabric.
The top of the skirt is wide enough for this skirt to grow with your girl; a drawstring in a pretty contrasting color ensures the perfect fit. Great for playing outside in the sun, Summer Solstice comes in five sizes, from 0-6 months through 10-12 years.
