Twirly Skirt
The twirly skirt is all about inspiration. It will inspire
people who have never knitted before, to knit. It will
inspire people who have knitted their fair share of
scarves and blankets, to move out of their comfort
zone. And it will especially inspire little girls to twirl while
wearing the skirt.
The twirly skirt is so easy and rewarding to make
and even more fun to wear. Our daughters love the
‘twirliness’ and can’t stop spinning when they wear it
(they get dizzy!). The skirt can also double as a poncho.
Knit it in a bigger size and the lucky recipient can use it
as a poncho for two years, then as a skirt for another two
years. Talk about getting your wear out of it!!!
The shirts are just darling. They take so little time to
make and the results are priceless. All the appliqués aremade out of I-cords (see instructions below) and hand
sewn on to plain white t-shirts.

Cast off.
I-cordUsing US 6 double-pointed needles, cast on 4 stitches. Knit all stitches. Switch needles so that the
needle with the stitches is in your left hand. Slide stitches to other end of needle and knit this row.
Continue switching needles, sliding yarn and knitting stitches until the desired length is reached (to t
around waist with enough length to tie a knot).
I have a confession to make – all my I-cords are made using Embellish Knits!™ (a hand-crank me-
chanical I-cord maker). I do this for two reasons – the machine makes perfect I-cords and I can make
a lot of I-cords in a little amount of time. Embellish Knits!™ can be found at many fabric and craft
stores.
nishingJoin side seams. Fold over upper edge and sew in place to form casing. Thread I-cord through casing
to form drawstring. Fold over lower hem edge and sew in place.
notesThis pattern starts off with a smaller amount of stitches and gradually increases to a much larger
amount. Working with a large number of stitches on straight needles can be uncomfortable to work
with. If you nd this to be the case, I suggest using circular needles, especially for the larger sizes.
