This skirt was knitted by Margaret Grubb of Devonport (Tas) in a pattern from Anlaby called Marie Louise.
Falling from the waistline this skirt has a large train that cascades down the back of the skirt.
Margaret has used beads no.3791 and a matching cotton D.M.C.no.605.
This pattern is very versatile and suits quite a few large dolls.
This pattern uses 8 x hanks of beads.
2 x Balls of Perle cotton.

Tip
Because this skirt uses 8 hanks of beads,it can become very heavy when knitting.
To help take the weight of the beads,use a stable table or knit over a table so the table can take the weight of the skirt as you knit.
Always hang the skirt when finished over a container ie a large spray can with a egg cup on top,so that the skirt can drop.This happens because of the weight of the beads.
This can take a couple of days,once it has dropped,go ahead and have your stand made.
This stops that skirt from dropping and dangling on the ground once placed on your stand.
