Exceptionally wearable, definitely comfortable, and even reversible—the Utopia Reversible Skirt. Made with Blue Sky Fiber’s fabulous Woolstok wool, this skirt knits up beautifully and quite quickly. This project does require a provisional cast on to create the waistband and picks up stitches to create the bottom hem. If you’re a beginner and these are new techniques, I’ve created a video tutorial on my website (kraftling.ca) to assist.
