FLOWER COWL AND STRIPED SKIRT

Knit Simple Fall 2014 #31 and #32

Design by Vanessa Putt

Chunky rows of seed stitch strewn with randomly placed multicolored blooms make for a fast and fabulous twist on the cowl, knit sideways in the round. The mighty miniskirt starts with a skinny strip of garter stitch knit wide enough for the waist. The stripes are picked up along one long edge and finished up with a diagonal lace hem.
