My inspiration for this little skirt is clear, it is my little darling girl. Lately, I have been dreaming up little knits for her to wear.
LOOM: ‘Premium’ Round Loom Set, or All-n-One Loom, 80 pegs
YARN: approx 140 yards of worsted weight mercerized merino wool. Red Heart Chic Sheep in Green Tea
NOTIONS: knitting tool, tapestry needle, crochet hook size H (to crochet the chain to use to cinch the skirt)
GAUGE: 9.5 sts x 15 rows= 2 inches in stockinette
SIZE: 6-12 months
NOTE: Stitch pattern is over 10 stitches, to make a smaller/larger size, use a knitting loom with a multiple of 10 pegs

What a cutie pie! The perfect model for this adorable little shirt. Question, the 80 peg loom you are referring to, what is the gauge?
