Knit Pencil Skirt

I have another sweater vest today that wants to be a skirt now. The neckline on this one was a bit higher than the green vest-skirt from the previous post though, so I decided to do a little more to keep some length.

Instead of cutting below the armholes, I trimmed below the collar on this one.

Then I used the upper back portion of the vest to fill in the lower half of the former armholes. I used a straight stitch here since I didn't really need this seam to stretch.

And then I just attached an elastic waistband with a zig-zag stitch, just like I did to the green skirt.

And now I've got another comfy knit skirt, but a little longer and with an interesting hip detail.

And it's perfect for cooler weather!
