Example 1 – A flirty skirt!

Let’s use the concepts above to custom-design a flirty skirt!

1. Start with the double wrap for a man above and add your first Cow Hitch.
2. Continue the Cow Hitch pattern around the waist, keeping them all the same size.
3. …
4. …
5. …
6. At a rope when you need to.
7. When you’ve completed the first row, add a new frame line…
8. …quite close to the first one.
9. …
10. …
11. For the second row, I want to put my Cow Hitch is centered inside of the drapes from row one. I can do so two ways:
12. I can run the tail underneath the drape of the first row…
13. …or I can lay on top first.
14. Laying it on top creates this lovely interwoven effect, so let’s do that for this example.
15. Repeat that pattern all the way around.
16. Lovely, isn’t it?
17. When you’ve completed that row, if you have rope leftover, you can add another row.
18. This time I will connect to the bottom of the prior row…
19. …
20. …
21. I’m just about out of rope…
22. …so I will add a few Half Hitches here to use up the rest. (One option of many.)
