To make this skirt, you should first take your waist and hip measurements and according to your hip measure, cast on a corresponding number of stitches. Make sure you have an even number of stitches. Then you knit Sections 1 and 2 in the width of your hips. Section 3 is a gathered rectangular piece of fabric, whose upper edge is wider than the bottom edge of Section 2, and it is sewn onto it by gathering. From hips down Sections 3, 4 and 5 have larger circumference than each previous section. In that way you get ruffles and a huge number of stitches on your needles. However, the work goes pretty fast because the colors are altered every 5 – 15 cm, and you knit all stitches. The exception are lace borders between every section. Their numbers of stitches are the same as the knit-stitch sections. Lace borders are a nice transition between monotonous parts made with knit stitches only.

A very beautiful skirt. The blend of colours is so dramatic and works perfectly.
