Jo Sharp P386 70's Mohair Skirt

Version 1 

Knitted with 2 strands of yarn combined to double the warmth and cuddle factor!  Worked in contrasting shades and Reverse Stocking stitch to create a heather effect.

Version 2 

Worked in Garter stitch with a single strand of Mohair in a variegated shade. Both versions are suitable for a beginner knitter.

This skirt may be worn on the hips or waist, with the waistband folded to half width (for a shorter skirt) or extended to full width, 

for a longer skirt.
