Little Tove Rib Skirt is a short skirt in rib knit with increases that gradually widen. The design was created as part of the Little Isager Archives collection and is a reinterpretation of models from the 60s and 70s archives - from where the inspiration for the mosaic knitting also comes.
The skirt is worked top-down. First, a stockinette stitch edge is knitted. It is folded over and knitted together. A waist elastic is inserted into the casing.
Short rows are worked to add length at the back. After the short rows, turn one last time, to work the rest of the skirt from the wrong side. This is done to work fewer purl stitches.
After a piece in 1x1 rib, first increase with one stitch in the rib repeat and later with another stitch, so that the final rib repeat becomes * k, p3 *, seen from the right side.
When the skirt has reached its final length, bind-off in purl.
