The skirt is simply knitted in stockinette stitch and few rows of garter stitch at the bottom edge. The main body of the skirt is made out of a sport weight yarn (I used Vanna’s Glamour from Lion Brand) and the ruffles are made out of Sashay yarn by Red Heart. The ruffles are attached to the skirt at different levels using simple crochet technique. You don’t have to have crochet experience to do this.
