Flowers swinging, leaves swinging, nuts swinging, a wonderful garden skirt, the Groovy Garden Skirt.
Four different patterns are arranged from the waist to the hem. Since it's a skirt, you have to knit a lot, but you can enjoy knitting it because the patterns change. All the patterns are cute and well-balanced.
The subtle transparency and the delicate frills at the hem are elegant, and it's also attractive because it can be coordinated with a wide range of fashion styles. It's cute to wear with jeans for a vintage look, and it's also lovely to show it peeking out like a petticoat from under a neat shirt dress.
Based on the Wanderlust Linen version knitted by designer JURI, the yarn amount has been recalculated and made into a kit.
The kit includes the amount of yarn for knitting with a different gauge than the pattern (see below), so please check it before you start knitting.
Gauge when knitted with Wanderlust Linen:
・Stockinette stitch: 26 sts × 34 rows = 10 cm
・Chart A (1 repeat): 12 sts × 20 rows = 4.7 cm × 8 cm
Yarn required: Size 1 (2, 3, 4, 5) = 1080 (1330, 1565, 1795, 2030) m
Knit in the round from the top down. After knitting the waist part, fold it over, pick up stitches to create a drawstring casing, and then knit the pattern. You can also adjust the length to your liking by adjusting the repeat rows of the pattern chart.
