Free pattern: Girls’ chevron knit skirt

Jess from Craftiness Is Not Optional shares a free pattern for making this girls’ chevron knit skirt. It’s a simple A-line skirt with an easy knit band waistband. She’s sharing the free pattern in support of the Skirting the Issue project by Simple Simon & Co. . It’s quick to make. In an afternoon you could whip up a stack of them to donate to girls in foster care – and maybe a few for your own daughter. Her free pattern comes in girls’ sizes 18 months – 8/9. You’ll need striped knit fabric if you want to create the chevron effect.
