Vertical Ruffle SKIRT
This reverse stockinette skirt is perfect for many occasions. It can be elegant with hose, or practical and cosy with thick tights and boots. The front ruffle gives it a very now feeling, and is easy to make.
The skirt is knee-length but easily adjustable in length. It features a folded waist with elastic to hold it up.
Design notes
Edging: The edges of this garment are designed to curl. If you don’t want that on the bottom, you can add a folded hem.
Yarn: Should be yarn with lots of drape. I advise alpaca or a mixed yarn with silk or plant-based yarn to add drape. A 100 % merino with lots of bounce might be less suitable.

Frozen Waterfall Cardigan

Frozen Waterfall
This elegant, slightly A-line long cardigan has a dramatically cabled front band, cuffs and pockets. The body of the cardigan is textured with the easy to knit elongated moss-stitch. Side seams are accentuated with a little cable.
Knit in easy DK, this fabulous cardigan will keep you warm and stylish!
This is a swingy cardigan without closure, but it would be perfectly possible to crochet a little loop at the edge and hide a button between the cables.
Shawl collar:
The shawl collar was knit separately, since the yarn is extremely drapy. Also, because the flow of the body pattern and the shawl collar is different and could cause pulling. If your yarn has less drape and more bounce, you could try knitting them continuously, but I’d make a pretty big swatch first.
The cardigan has set-in sleeves, is knit in the round, bottom up. It has a shawl collar and slight A-line shape. Length from neck to hem in M: 95 cm(33 1/2 inches).
Armpit to armpit in size M: ( laid flat and closed): 46 cm(18 ¼ inch). (model is 1.80/5’11″ and is wearing an M)
