I'd like to knit a skort similar to the crocheted Ladybugz Carnation soaker http://www.ladybugz.ca/store/ (click on patterns & scroll down to see it).
I have a shorts pattern that I want to add a ruffle to around midrise, but I want it look like a skirt not a pair of shorts with a big ruffle sewn on. How do I go from a single layer waist to split into separate skirt and short layers?
I have a basic idea of how to make a ruffle by doing a round with increases every few stitches, a few rounds of straight knitting, a round of increases spaced a little further apart, a few rounds of straight knitting, another round of increases even further apart, etc. How should I space the increases for such a large ruffle?
Any suggestions would be greatly appreciated!

You have the option of doing the soaker without the skirt, but if you do the skirt it is an extension of the soaker (although I'm sure you COULD knit the skirt independent of the soaker, if you wanted). But, yeah, if you follow the pattern the skirt is attached to the soaker. I have the pattern but haven't done it yet. We need T to chime in on this one for difficulty....My guess is intermediate?
