Noro Knitting Magazine Fall/Winter 2013 #25
Design by Carolyn Noyes
Noyes’s swingy cashmere-blend skirt, worked side to side, gets its A-line silhouette from short-row shaping. Noro Shiro colorway #1 shades the inky stockinette back- ground; solid black slip-stitch accent stripes pop in Ella Rae Lace Merino Worsted. The accordion-pleated hem is worked separately in Lace Merino Worsted. The zippered side closure allows the skirt to sit at the natural waist.
