About the skorts

The Vitamin skorts are soft and comfortable skorts knitted in cotton merino. They are perfect to pair with any summer clothes or even over tights for colder seasons.
With this pattern you could also knit shorts.

Vitamin skorts are knitted top down in the round. The back is shaped with German short rows, and increases are made in the front and back. The legs are then separated from the body and knitted in the round. You will pick up stitches from the waist to make the skirt flap, that will then be sewed to the side of the shorts.
