Emma's Lace Knitted Skirt Knitting Pattern Download

There is something romantic and sinister about the mermaid. She pulls you in the song, then wraps around you like seaweed. This piece is named for one water-spirit, from a German fairy tale, who marries a mortal man to obtain a soul. The skirt uses a hand-dyed yarn with colors of the ocean and a lace pattern reminiscent of shells and seaweed. Gently soak in water and use a semi-ridgid wire and flexible wire to help keep the shape while shawlette is drying. Enjoy accent details with tiny beads and scallop edging.
