A Summer Skirt

June 21, 2013 By Laura 8 Comments

I finished up a summer skirt for my littlest girl this week.

I love the knit picot hem…and the lace squares.

I’m a little worried I picked a yarn that will be too warm but I think she can wear it most of the summer…and into winter with some tights and a long-sleeved shirt.

My main problem is that she’s on a dress kick right now. Sometimes, in an overdose of girliness, she’ll wear a skirt under her dress…but my challenge will be to get her to wear the skirt where everyone can actually see it. Two year olds.

My ravelry notes are here if you’d like to see them.

Thank you for visiting Peace but Not Quiet! I’d love it if you’d like me on facebook and follow me on twitter.

    Oh, may, this is awesome!!! I love that skirt.It’s a 10 out of 10! Did you design it yourself…??! I would not worry about it being too hot for summer. The color and style are ‘timeless’ and so she’ll be able to wear this for years, yearround!
