I made this skirt for my granddaughter, last year. I chose colours reminiscent of chocolate and berries and used my favourite yarns ... Patons pure wool and Cleckheaton mohair and mohair/wool mixes.
This is another skirt that can either be knitted on circular needles, or in two pieces with side seams. Either way works perfectly well. My daughter tells me that it is comfy to wear, however I'm not happy with the practical impact of the fair-isle, just above the hem of the skirt. This makes the fabric inflexible at that point. The Isabelle fairy would be hard put to it to take giant strides wearing this. Next time I use fair-isle in a skirt, it will be near the waist, rather than at the hem.
