Curvy Barbie Faux Plaid Skirt

Note: this listing is a "Knit in the Round" pattern to be knit using double pointed needles.

This is a knitting pattern for a basic A-line Skirt with two EASY Faux Plaid variations. The effect is achieved by slipped stitch colour work, and row colour changes. It does not use the fair-isle technique, so it is suitable for beginner knitters. The pattern itself is designed for new Curvy Barbie body-style introduced in 2016. The instructions are for Curvy-sized Barbies only. Will fit Lammily Dolls also.

A Word About Gauge: I design all of my Barbie patterns to be worked in the round on double pointed needles. The absence of the seam allowance and the snug fit are essential for a realistic looking mini-garment. Take the time to test the gauge to make sure you are getting 9 stitches and 13 rows per inch in stockinette stitch. I hold my yarn in my right hand which makes my tension tight, if you are a lefty, you may need to use smaller needles.
