The Billie Jean Skirt is an A-line model. The skirt is knitted from top to bottom. The coil is knitted round in a single-color smooth right and then collapsed with a rubber band. The work continues in the pattern by diagram while simultaneously working on both sides of the side panels increases. The skirt ends with a single-colored double knitting edge.
