Love Letters, Vol.9: Summer Skirts

We can't resist these breezy, beautiful skirt patterns for knitting and sewing! 

This charmer, the Leaf Hem Skirt from Knit.1 Magazine Summer 2007, combines delicate columns of lace and rows of color.  You can knit the Leaf Hem Skirt in bamboo, linen, or cotton for a comfortable, flowing garment that looks great, whether you're harvesting bananas at your beach villa or ordering banana pancakes at the cafe on the corner.

Barcelona Skirts from Amy Butler Designs

This brand new pattern from Amy Butler includes three different cuts: a classic A-line, a layered skirt, and an apron overlay.  These simple, stylish designs are great for beginner and intermediate seamsters. Amy's sunny prints from her Lotus and Belle collections are tailor-made for summer skirts.
