Entrelac Full Circle Skirt 

By

Suzanne Pufpaff

 
Entrelac is an exciting knitting structure.  By increasing and decreasing 
the size of the squares and adding transitions rows, a wide array of garments can be created with this versatile stitch pattern.  This skirt is worked in the round without seams starting at the waste with a drawstring casing. As you can see from the photo, it's great fun to wear and spinning is a must.  Warning: this skirt is so full, its best to wear matching undergarments

 

A full skit is a comfortable yet feminine garment but most individuals don't need a lot of extra fabric bunched up around the waist.  By starting with just enough stitches to make a slightly gathered waist and then increasing at the beginning of each new panel, the skirt is full and flowing  but does not add bulk at the waist. 

 

 

 

At rest or fanned, this skirt is always eye catching
