Knitting For Olive | Pearls-On-A-String Skirt Pattern & Yarn Pack
A Skirt Full of Charm
The Pearls-on-a-String Skirt is a sweet and playful design that pairs comfort with elegance. Worked in the round from the top down using a single strand of Pure Silk, it drapes beautifully while giving plenty of room for twirling, moving and play.
You begin with a folded waistband with elastic for a snug and practical fit, then shape the skirt with a combination of increases and short rows before adding its signature feature – the decorative pearl border. More increases are added throughout the body of the skirt to create its wide, graceful silhouette.
Designed in two colours, this skirt invites you to play with colour combinations to match any wardrobe. It’s the perfect complement to the Pearls-on-a-String Sweater, echoing its distinctive style for a complete outfit that’s as fun as it is refined.
Our Pearls-On-A-String Skirt Pattern & Yarn Pack includes 2 x Pure Silk (base colour), 1 x Pure Silk (accent colour), and a digital pattern. This bundle is suitable for the 1-2 years pattern sizes. You may purchase more yarn separately if you are following a bigger pattern.
