                                                          ONLINE BOOK: How to Become an "Expert Knitter"

Your creativity will have a free run when deciding which yarns to choose for this gypsy skirt, knitted entirely in stocking stitch. The only important thing to remember is that all the yarns should be able to produce the same tension. If you use some highly textured or very fluffy yarns, keep them for the lower parts of the skirt for a more flattering look.

Finding seven perfect yarns gives you a wonderful chance to express your feelings about interesting colours or a combination of colours and textures. To heighten the effect, add a crochet trim at each colour change and around the hem or add braid, lace, bobbles, metallic yarns or ribbon.

To make a shorter skirt, decrease the number of rows in each tier or work less rows in the first section using colour A.
