Lisboa Skirt
CHF 6.00
The Lisboa skirt is knitted in the round from top to bottom, starting with the waistband in 1/1 ribbing until it reaches the double height of the elastic. Then the upper part is knitted in 4/3 ribbing until it reaches a certain height (below the buttocks). The lower part is knitted in an openwork pattern, with increases over a few rows to give the skirt a flared shape. The bottom of the skirt is finished with a small I-cord of two stitches. To finish, the waistband is folded in half and sewn so that the elastic can be inserted.

Suggested yarn
The skirt is knitted using a Fingering/Sport type yarn. We recommend using a strong yarn, such as hemp or cotton for plant fibres, or non-superwash merino for animal wools. The yarn used for this model is the Pernelle quality from Natissea, made from 100% hemp, which gives it a nice hold. The Linaé quality is also suitable for this design.
