Dandelion Skirt - Paper

The Dandelion Skirt is knitted from the top down. It has a drawstring at the waist for a 2 cm wide trouser elastic. The skirt itself is knitted in a pattern called the Dandelion Pattern, as it resembles dandelion seeds (in English Ornamental Stitches). The Dandelion Pattern is knitted with increases, so that the skirt has width.
