It's been a while since I've knit anything, and even longer since I've posted. Anyway, here is my first pattern published in a book, More Knitting in the Sun! It's a modified version of my ruffled mini skirt pattern, redesigned for girls sized 4-12, with an additional ruffled tier. The skirt is knit in stockinette stitch in the round from the waist down. Increasing and decreasing create the ruched ruffles.
