One of the fringe benefits of designing my own patterns is that I make the prototypes to fit me. This swatch shows the Tunisian honeycomb stitch (alternating Tunisian simple stitch and Tunisian purl stitch), which I used for an above-the-knee skirt. A commercially manufactured elastic-waist skirt from my closet was the template. The construction is simple, two identical rectangles seamed together and then an elastic waist sewn in. The finished skirt is one of my favorite garments – it was hard not to wear it until the photographs for Tunisian Crochet were done, but I couldn't risk spilling something on it! – and I really love the colors in the Colinette Banyan yarn.
