Linen Kilt


Pattern: Linen Kilt - Knit 2 Together
Yarn: Euroflax Linen in Champagne
Time to Complete: ~ 4 months of on/off knitting
Mods: Rather than SC along the length of the skirt to knit the side ruffle on, I knit the side ruffle on its own and sewed it on, measuring as I went.
Gripes: The way the K1P1 rib hits the top of my thighs, next time I'll knit maybe 3" of K1P1.


Overall I loved this pattern and would recommend it to anyone who can handle mindless knitting i.e. stockinette and K1P1 rib. I used one less skein of yarn than the pattern calls for, but I never got gauge to begin with. I tend to pull my yarn extra tight when I knit.
