This is a bit of a departure. Yesterday was sweaters, and as I noted yesterday, those patterns are all over. Today the quest is for skirts that are knit or crochet.
I have several knit skirts in my closet. They are the very simple "pencil" skirt. I knit 2 panels 150 stitches wide each and a length of about 24 - 28 inches for each, then seamed them together. I turned under one edge 1 inch sewed it down and ran elastic through for the waist. The bottom hem can be done several ways. I can turn under an inch or so and hem it. I can do something like garter stitch or seed stitch for a couple of inches. I would not do anything like ribbing though since that will pull in the hem and make my hips look even wider. This would not be bad if I wanted them emphasized, but I choose not to. I could also handle them hem by doing crochet work around. I have done this. I like this look sometimes.

Have fun with this idea. You never know what could be the new fashion trend.
