Newborn Skirty

Yarn: Purewool - Pragua colorway
Pattern: Embellished
Needle: Size 5,7
Knitting time: 1 1/2 weeks

Impression:
I am in LOVE with this skirty! The pattern worked well. I did the skirty first, then went back and did the soaker. I wanted the increases to show, so I did basic increases. I wanted to add the flare, so I slowly increased from size 7 dpns to size 8s. Then I did the yo's at the bottom to add a little style.
You can't completely tell the texture because the camera isn't that sensitive, but there is a slight border that I made by purling a row right where the soakers and skirty separate:

I'm going to start working on a matching headband for a little princess. Oh, I hope I have a girl!
