Roma Lavinia Skirt

Roma Lavinia Skirt is made by combining knitting and sewing techniques. Apart from these 2 techniques, crocheting the drawstring for the waist is the only extra skill you will need.

The skirt is completed in rounds, on circular needles, top down by holding 3 strands of yarn. The start is at the waist and with a lace border which will later be used for fastening – drawstring will be pulled through it and tied to fit your waist measurement.

There are 5 sections of the skirt in the form of ruffles. Sections 1, 2, 4 and 5 are knitted, while Section 3 is a rectangular piece of fabric that is sewn onto Sections 2 and 4. Between each section there is a lace border knitted in 5 rounds. Sections 1 and 2 are knitted to fit your hip measure, and they tightly wrap your body around. Sections 3, 4 and 5 are wider than each section before, thus forming ruffles and flare.

The pattern is written in US terminology and covers both centimeter and inch metric systems.
