NOTES
Skirt is made up of Large and Small motifs. Each motif is worked in rounds. Sapphire Blue is used for the final round on all Squares. You can use any colour for any other round – or refer to the image for guidance. Once all the pieces have been joined together, a Waistband is worked around one edge. Ties are threaded through the Waistband at the end, so the waist size is adjustable. The Waistband is designed to fit over the hips and needs to be tightened to fit at the waist.
