Knitted skirts according to the pattern: examples of patterns and video tutorials


Women have been knitting skirts for many decades, but this item of clothing still remains relevant in our harsh climate. Using yarn and knitting needles, you can knit many wonderful, fashionable skirts that are accessible even to beginning craftswomen. It’s time to forget the common misconception that a knitted skirt is warm clothing for grandmothers.







Model selection


There are several basic models of skirts that can be knitted using knitting needles:

  • straight fitted skirt;
  • flared skirt (pleated or frilled);
  • avant-garde skirts.

The difference between the models lies in the degree of fit of the figure and the texture of the canvas, the presence of asymmetry, and so on. Even the simplest knitting pattern for a skirt can become the basis for a spectacular item if, for example, you knit it using the jacquard technique or decorate it with plaits. The length of the skirt varies as desired.
We will not specifically deal with the description of the last type of skirts in this review. Since the word “avant-garde” itself does not imply knitting a large number of identical women’s skirts based on a standard pattern. Usually, avant-garde skirts are knitted in a single copy and are a figment of fantasy, a creative impulse of women. To knit an avant-garde item, craftswomen use unusual materials, non-standard techniques and their combinations.

Knitting a skirt with a jacquard pattern

Before you start knitting, be sure to calculate the yarn consumption and knitting density by knitting a small sample from the purchased yarn and on the same knitting needles that you plan to use. Take measurements of the figure for which the skirt is intended. You will need the following parameters:

  • length of the product;
  • waist circumference;
  • hip girth.

Depending on the model, in addition to yarn and knitting needles, you may need additional knitting needles for knitting elastic bands, ropes and jacquard patterns, pins, needles or a crochet hook.

This model is for beginner craftswomen and will suit almost everyone. The least risky is the length to the middle of the knee. Young slender girls can afford the mini version. Textured women should give preference to thicker yarns and slimming colors. A straight skirt can be knitted in four ways:

  • on five knitting needles in a circle;
  • on two knitting needles, consisting of two parts and sewn on the sides;
  • on two knitting needles, consisting of one piece (it is necessary to cast on the number of loops corresponding to the length of the product and, at the end of the work, make one seam).

For a short straight skirt size 44-46 you will need approximately 200 grams of yarn. Number of loops – 140 – 160 (if you plan to knit in the round). To get started, it is better to use knitting needles number 4. Knit 10 cm of rib with 1:1 black yarn. Then change to size 5 needles and knit the main skirt fabric in stockinette stitch to the desired length. The fabric of the skirt can be plain or knitted from yarn of two or more colors. Samples of simple jacquard patterns with descriptions and diagrams can be found here. To complete the knitting you need to knit a 1:1 elastic band from the yarn (10-14 rows). Close the loops carefully.

This model looks especially impressive on girls. Although the extended version may be suitable for adult women. To complete the work you will need circular knitting needles and yarn in at least two colors. The decorative effect of the model can be given by a simple technique of highlighting each part of the skirt with color. You should start knitting from the belt. It is made one-color or two-color. The belt can be made with a simple 1:1 elastic band or in the form of a hollow elastic band. In the first case, after finishing knitting, you can make a thin decorative lace with tassels. In the second case, you can get by with a purchased elastic band.
The yoke is knitted in plain stocking stitch without adding stitches. If desired, this element can be decorated with a relief pattern by placing the elements symmetrically on the front of the skirt. For example, using the following or similar schemes.

Finish knitting the yoke, change the thread color and make 1 - 3 narrow stripes. The frill is knitted by simply adding stitches. Before you start knitting an element, you need to make sure that the number of loops in the circle is a multiple of 5 (the folds will be narrow), 7 (medium) or 9 (wide). If necessary, add loops by knitting an additional circle. Knit the first round of the frill using the knit 4 * purl 1 pattern and then add purl stitches in any way you like.
The length of each element varies depending on the age of the girl and your desire. So, for example, for a girl 1.5-2 years old, the belt is 2–3 cm long, the yoke is at least 7 cm, the frill is from 4 cm.
Using these techniques, even craftswomen who master the art of knitting at a rudimentary level will be able to knit a great outfit for themselves and for their loved ones.

Fashionable knitted skirts using the pleated technique for women

We will need:

  • threads (about 500 grams);
  • cr. sp. No. 3.5.

Description

Women's skirts are knitted in the pleated pattern using stockinette stitch from two panels. Let's start from the bottom. The size and number of folds depend on your desire.

We don’t make a drawing of a skirt with knitting needles; we take the semi-volume T as a basis. The outer fold of each fold. make the stitches elongated... and the inner one - purl. n. Each of the folds consists of a front, wider part, and a back part, which is approximately twice as narrow. We need to count the number of cells. along the T line in one panel.
Each of the folds at the bottom should be 2-2.5 times wider than at the top, therefore, if the fold at the top consists of 12 sts, then at the bottom it consists of 24 sts. The wide plane is separated from the narrow face. and an elongated path (outer fold), the folds are separated from each other by a line of and. p. (inner fold).

How to find out the number of stitches to cast on?

The number of stitches of one fold is multiplied by the number of folds. and added. for outdoor corner number of points equal to the number of folds. For internal. fold added n., = number of folds – 1 and plus 2 folds. P..

How to narrow a pleated skirt?

To do this, we need to gradually reduce. p. in each part of the fold near the purl. paths so that the decrease is unnoticeable, the same for the edge stitches..

To find out the number of decreases, you need to subtract the number of stitches that remain on the T line. Divide the length of the product by the number of decreases. and find out the distance between them. In the wide part of the street should be twice as much as in a narrow one: if the number of p. Below 24, and at T 12, then decrease. there will be 12 (24 – 12): 8 in the wide part and 4 in the narrow part. At 64 cm, where the first 4 cm are without decreases, in the wide part there is a decrease. go through 7.5 cm (60: 8), in a narrow one - through 15 cm (60: 4).

We tie the panel to the top line, close all the stitches and iron the folds, do the second part in the same way, sew them on the sides, knit a belt and sew it along the top line.

An example of knitting the pleated pattern

We dial 52 p.
1 rub.: 5 l. p., remove 1 p., 10 l. p., 1 i. P..
2 rubles: 16 i. p., remove 1 p.
3 p.: repeat. knot from 1st day..

Length - 10 cm, the first 4 cm are written without reductions, the remaining 6 cm are abbreviated. n. of each part of the fold, before purl. I tied the path. 2 p.vm. l. behind the back walls, after purl. paths - 2 p.m. l. behind the front walls.

Calculation of decreases for the pleated model

Along the bottom line of the fold. Consists of 17 p., on T there should be 8 of them, accordingly, you need to reduce 9 p., in the wide part - 6, in the narrow part - 3. In the narrow part - decrease. after 2 cm (6: 3), in the wide - after 1 cm (6: 6).
Kr. We count it as purl. paths, make a decrease near them.. We tie the fabric to T, close all the stitches, fold the folds and sew on the belt.

Skirt with bow pleats: video master class

We hope our tutorial will be useful and help you knit a stylish and fashionable skirt to your taste!

Original things have long been the key to the unique style of every woman who loves herself. But sometimes you have to pay for the uniqueness of your favorite thing, and a considerable amount. This is especially true for knitted skirts. It is they, the chic handmade creations hanging in the windows of expensive boutiques, that fascinate almost all representatives of the fair sex.

But unfortunately, the magical effect ends exactly when the happy owner of a new thing comes out of the state of hypnosis and discovers that she bought something wrong. And the reason here lies not in poor quality or incorrect cut. Everything is quite banal. Knitted skirts are such an individual thing that each of its styles must correspond not only to the style, but also to the image of the owner. In addition, this wardrobe item is not suitable for everyone. Let's take a closer look at the advantages and disadvantages of knitted skirts.

Knitted skirts

The main disadvantage of a knitted skirt is that with its help it is impossible to hide even the smallest flaws in the figure. But she will perfectly highlight all the shortcomings. But if the immense desire and love for skirts does not leave your wardrobe, we advise you to wear it with a tunic or an elongated blouse, and complement it with a jacket or a loose-fitting jacket.

Knitted skirts will be an advantage for fashionistas. This season, stylists like to recommend them to many owners of an ideal figure. With its help, it is simply impossible not to stand out or go unnoticed. As for combining with other elements of clothing, an ensemble of knitted items looks just perfect, and it’s not short on practicality.

Also, these skirts are often worn over skinny jeans in combination with a jacket. This youthful combination gives the style a certain lightness and uniqueness. For elegant ladies, blouses or shirts in soft tones, complemented with exquisite belts, will be just a godsend. Jackets combined with a knitted skirt should be given special attention; in any color and style they will always and everywhere be a harmonious set. And when paired with leather or fur clothes, knitted skirts will be a win-win option.

Knitted skirt

There will be no problems with accessories either. The examples above would be:

  • any beads;
  • jewelry with pearls;
  • brooches;
  • leather and decorative belts;
  • ethnic and classic bracelets;
  • small bags.

As mentioned above, a knitted skirt is a practical and at the same time elegant part of a modern women's wardrobe. Knitting such a skirt with your own hands is not particularly difficult if you have certain skills. But besides knowing the knitting technique, there are several more nuances. Let's look at them.

  • Correct selection of yarn. For a knitted skirt, the best material is acrylic. The fact is that it is acrylic threads that are least susceptible to deformation during the care process.
  • Creating a pattern and taking the necessary measurements (waist circumference, hip circumference). Here you cannot do without a pattern; with its help, choosing the right size will not be difficult.
  • During the work process, it is necessary to take into account the density of the fabric. This will help you avoid mistakes when calculating decreases and additions. You need to decide on the type of knitting.
  • There is knitting with seams and seamless. When knitting seamlessly, use circular knitting needles and knit in the round. And when knitting with seams, the front and back parts are knitted separately.
  • If the style of the skirt is straight, then knitting begins from the bottom.
White knitted straight skirt

Next, the process of knitting a straight style will be considered using an example. A model was taken as a sample from the fall/winter 2015 collection of the famous fashion house Dior (the first publication was made by Vogue magazine). Of course, not every woman can afford to buy such an exquisite skirt from a famous designer. But if you choose similar material and tools, you can knit a chic skirt that will be in no way inferior to the original.

Knitted skirt from Dior

The description shows four sizes: XS–S–M-L. Translated by measurements, in finished form, it looks something like this: waist: 68 cm – 74 cm – 84.5 cm – 94.5 cm; hips: 83 cm – 89.5 cm – 99.5 cm – 112 cm; product height: 58 cm. The following materials will be useful for work: straight knitting needles with a diameter of 4.5 (5) mm; CollageYarnfantasticc threads (color: dark gray “A”) 250 grams; CollageYarnfantasticc threads (color: lavender “B”) 200 grams; knitted pin or additional knitting needle; an elastic band one meter long and thirty mm wide.

Additional types of loops

Knitted skirt in light lilac color

There are also additional types of loops in the work, in which it is necessary to take into account color transitions. It is important to remember that when changing colors, you need to weave the threads only on the wrong side of the product. This manipulation will help avoid the appearance of holes on the front side. It is also better to use different skeins. 8 – st R C – remove four loops on an additional knitting needle, move the knitting needle behind the working fabric, four knit stitches, four loops from an additional knitting needle. 8 – sl L C – – remove four loops on an additional knitting needle, move the knitting needle in front of the working fabric, four knit stitches, four loops from an additional knitting needle.

First you need to knit the back piece. Cast on straight needles with 19 – 21 – 24 – 26 stitches, ColageYarn fantastic threads (color: dark gray “A”). Continue casting on with ColageYarnfantastic threads (color: lavender “B”) 200 grams, 33 – 35 – 37 – 41 stitches. And finish from the second skein of CollageYarnfantasticc thread (color: dark gray “A”) 250 grams, 18 - 20 - 23 - 25 loops. In the first row, all colored segments are knitted, alternating purl loops with knit stitches (1*1). Next, continue knitting 1*1 to a height of 2.5 cm. Once this height is reached, begin knitting the “two-color braid” pattern.

Braid pattern


Knitted skirt with braids

In the first row, knit ColageYarnfantasticc color: dark gray “A” with knit stitches 13 – 15 – 18 – 20 stitches. The next 12 stitches are knitted as “8 – st R C”. After CollageYarnfantasticc color: lavender “B” knit 21 – 23 – 25 – 29 stitches with knit stitches. Then knit 12 stitches as “8 – sl L C”. We finish the row with CollageYarnfantasticc threads (color: dark gray “A”) 250 grams, knit stitches. In the second row we knit with CollageYarnfantasticc threads (color: dark gray “A”) 13 – 15 – 18 – 20 purl stitches. After this, 12 stitches as “8 – st L C”. After this, knit with Colage Yarn fantastic threads (color: lavender “B”) 21 – 23 – 25 – 28 purl stitches. Then 12 stitches “8 – sl R C”, and purl stitches to the end of the row.

Continue knitting as described until the 20th row. Repeat the pattern until the length of the product reaches 14 cm and complete the work with a purl row. Next, they begin to form the bevels of the knitted skirt. Continue knitting, increasing one loop on each side in the next row. After that, we add 4 times in every 16th row. The total should be 79 – 85 – 93 – 105 loops. Continue knitting to a length of 45 cm from the beginning of knitting. Finish knitting in a purl row.

The upper part of the skirt is knitted like this. Decrease this loop on each side in the next row. After this, do the same decreases in the 4th row 5 more times. At the end there should be 67 - 73 - 81 - 89 stitches left on the knitting needles.

Continue knitting a report of 20 rows 7 more times. The length of the product should be 58 cm.

The second part of the product is symmetrically tied.

The knitted skirt is almost ready, all that remains is to knit the belt. Using Collage Yarn fantastic thread (color: dark gray “A”), knit 3 centimeters in garter stitch. This is the final stage, all that remains is to assemble the knitted skirt.

Assembly

  • You need to pin all the details of the knitted skirt to the pattern. To give the parts the desired size, slightly moisten, then dry.
  • Now sew the side seams.
  • Place the belt on the wrong side and sew it on, not forgetting to leave a hole for inserting an elastic band.
  • Insert elastic, trim off excess and sew.

That's all, the knitted skirt is ready. All that remains is to wish that this exquisite product was only the first creation.

They constantly adorn the collections of leading designers, which means they are a basic element in the wardrobe of any woman who follows fashion trends.

The only difficulty is to choose a suitable style, because skirts knitted with knitting needles not only emphasize the advantages of the figure, but also reveal its shortcomings.

Variety of models

How to knit a skirt that will attract attention? Whatever style the girl prefers, she can easily choose the one she likes among the variety of models. These include strict office skirts, “grunge” ones with dropped loops, and models in ethnic style with ornaments, braids and arans. Also models for an evening out in shiny yarn and everyday skirts.

Owners of curvaceous figures need to be especially attentive to the choice of style. General recommendations: avoid excessive tightness and large voluminous patterns. It’s better to stick to an A-line silhouette and a length just above or below the knee. Possible styles include:

  • skirt-year;
  • A-line skirt;
  • loose model with a straight silhouette.

Slender girls can choose any style, but very tall girls are not recommended to wear miniskirts, as they violate the proportions of the silhouette.

What to pay attention to when knitting

The peculiarity of knitted fabric is elasticity and stretchability. It is good if the yarn contains elastane in small quantities. According to knitters, it is best to choose natural yarn for work with the designations “anti-pilling”, “laster” or “superwash” - such threads are pre-treated with a special compound to minimize the formation of tussocks. To prevent the product from becoming deformed during wear, you need to make a cover or petticoat for it.

When knitting in the round, there is a high probability of sagging sides, so for figures with a pronounced difference between the waist and hips, it is preferable to knit a skirt from two parts and with darts.

When knitting a knee-length straight silhouette skirt for a medium size (44-46), you will need about 400-500 g of yarn. This value may vary depending on the chosen pattern, length and fullness of the skirt

Methods for knitting a skirt

Even the simplest straight silhouette skirt can be made in different ways.

  1. Bottom-up is a method familiar to many. The number of loops equal to the width of the skirt at the bottom is cast on the knitting needles. Up to the hip line it is knitted with straight fabric, and then the loops are reduced only on the sides or also in the place of darts.
  2. Knitting a skirt from top to bottom is very convenient. The waistband of the skirt is immediately knitted, and increases are made to widen the hips. Working in this way, it is easy to try on a future skirt, adjusting the width and length of the product.
  3. Another option. How to knit a skirt? You need to start working from the hip line. The loops are cast on from an auxiliary thread, then knitting continues with the main thread to the bottom of the skirt. The auxiliary thread unravels and knitting continues upward on the open loops.
  4. You can knit a skirt for women diagonally. In this way, a perfectly fitting item is created without additional darts. And, if the work is made from section-dyed yarn, the effect will be amazing. How to knit a skirt on the bias? Three loops are cast on the knitting needles; in the next front row, a loop is added on both sides using a yarn over. From the inside out, the capes are knitted with a crossed loop to disguise the holes. Additions are made at the beginning and end of each front row until the side of the resulting triangle is equal to the height of the side seam. After this, loops are added only at the beginning of the row, and one loop is reduced at the end. When the skirt panel reaches the desired width, decreases must be made on both sides.
  5. Another way to make a skirt is cross knitting. With the help of shortened rows it is convenient to knit darts, and pleated skirts are also great.
  6. Separately, it is worth noting the knitting of a skirt using the seamless method on circular knitting needles. This option is similar to knitting on straight needles, only the edge loops are not cast on.

How to knit a straight silhouette skirt

The pattern can be found in a special magazine or drawn yourself, guided by the algorithm for constructing the basis of a straight model. In the future, this basis will be useful for obtaining various styles through modeling.

The example in question is designed for sizes 40/42, 44/46 and 48/50, taking into account the increase for a loose fit.

  1. When starting any knitting project, you need to make a sample of the pattern that will be used to complete the work. You need to tie a fragment of 15 by 15 cm, moisten it and dry it in a horizontal position.
  2. Next, calculate the number of loops and rows in 1 cm of the pattern. After this, you need to calculate the number of loops along the bottom of the skirt and along the waistline. The difference between these values ​​is 4 cm for all sizes. By multiplying the number of loops per 1 cm by 4, we get the number of loops that need to be reduced from the hips to the waist.
  3. Having calculated how many rows from the hip to the waist, you need to evenly distribute the shortened loops. The skirt belt can be made entirely knitted or sewn on. For a solid knitted belt, knitting continues above the waistline for another 3.5 cm, then the front row is knitted with purl loops to form an inflection, and another 3.5 cm with the main pattern. On the inside of the belt loops, kettle along the waist line, leaving a small area for pulling through the elastic.

Cross knitting of a skirt

Cross knitting involves working from one side to the other. The peculiarity of this knitting is shortened rows, with the help of which a fit along the waist line and widening along the bottom of the product are achieved.

Models made from section-dyed yarn look very attractive. Unlike regular knitting, cross knitting creates vertical stripes that can advantageously adjust the silhouette. Fans of the Missoni style and pleated skirts will find many models made in this way.

Flared skirts

Knitted flared skirts are especially suitable for women with curvy figures - they emphasize the waist, smoothing out the fullness of the hips. Such models are presented in the following types:

1. A trapezoidal skirt, consisting of several wedges or gradually expanding towards the bottom. The difference is in the method of adding loops: when knitting wedges, increases are made at the beginning and end of the segment, so that the wedge line stands out clearly. Very often, a pattern runs along the line of decorative additions: a plait or a braid. In a regular A-line skirt, increases are made along the side seam and, if the yarn is thin, in the middle of the fabric. In this case, the number of darts in “blade” skirts is equal to the number of boundaries between the wedges.

2. Ruffled skirts, or pleated skirts, can be knitted crosswise and from top to bottom. In both cases, to obtain a rib, vertical tracks of knit or purl stitches are knitted between a certain number of garter or stocking stitches that form the width of the fold. For a more pronounced pleated effect, folds are formed along the waistline.

3. The godet skirt is knitted according to a straight silhouette pattern, and at a certain height, increases are made at regular intervals, forming wedges. In this style, it is very important to choose the right place to start the flare, so that the folded hem does not weigh down the voluminous hips.

A skirt with pleats from the waist will suit slender girls. For sizes where visual correction of the figure is needed, it is preferable to use folds from the hip line or along the bottom of the product.

Knitted skirt for girls

The characteristics of a child’s figure make it possible to choose any model you like. A girl's skirt, knitted, can be with folds and frills, straight and fluffy, plain and colorful. The product will be decorated with multi-colored stripes, ornaments and knitted images of your favorite characters.

How to knit a skirt so that your baby will wear it for years? Firstly, the work should be done from top to bottom - when the girl grows up, the length can be easily increased by simply knitting a few rows. Secondly, it is better to choose yarn with a natural composition; the presence of a large percentage of acrylic will lead to the formation of tussiness, and the skirt will lose its attractive appearance. For a skirt for a 3-4 year old girl, about 100 g of yarn is enough.

When knitting with threads of different colors, it is desirable that they be of the same thickness. The algorithm for knitting such a skirt is very simple.

  1. Measure the girl's waist circumference, calculate the required number of loops using the pattern knitted with stockinette stitch. Calculate the desired width of the skirt at the bottom and determine the number of loops that need to be added for expansion.
  2. The skirt is knitted in one piece - front and back. The work can be done on straight or circular knitting needles.
  3. Start working with a one-piece knitted belt with an elastic band 1 by 1. If you want to create fullness along the waist line, already in the first row of stockinette stitch the number of loops can be doubled. Another option is to add a certain number of stitches at evenly spaced rows.
  4. Thus, the skirt is knitted to the desired length, the last rows are made in a stabilizing pattern with alternating knit and purl stitches: in this case, garter stitch. In the future, these rows can be unraveled and a few more stripes can be added.
  5. At the end of the work, sew the side seam, if there is one, finish the design of the belt and pull through the elastic.

Crochet skirt

The most common type of crocheted skirt is an openwork summer model made of cotton threads with the addition of silk or viscose. Such models can be straight or flared. Knitting can be done in tiers or individual motifs.

Crocheting a skirt, like knitting, is not difficult. It is enough to choose the pattern you like, execute it in the sample and calculate the required number of repeats that fit into the width of the product’s fabric. It is better to crochet a skirt from top to bottom. To make the openwork look more expressive, you can use fabric in a contrasting color as a cover.

The nature of a woman is to bring beauty to the world. The first thing that comes to mind is physical, that is, pleasant appearance and clothes.

Paying attention to the life of our ancestors and the way of life of all peoples, we will see that women only wore dresses and/or skirts. Although our century has brought some degree of freedom in clothing and styles, subconsciously we are drawn to women's clothing. Needlewomen always create interesting models of skirts for different seasons and occasions.

Let's talk in more detail about the nuances of knitting women's skirts and look at photos of finished models.

The zigzag pattern is made either with openwork elements or without them. In the second case, make crossed yarn overs or broaches from the bottom row.

The pattern diagram is below.

When selecting yarn for a skirt, take either:

Sectional dyeing thread
- alternate several colors, including different textured yarns

After taking measurements, making a control sample and determining the knitting density, draw diagrams of the skirt and alternating stripes.

Choose the knitting direction either from top to bottom or vice versa. Please note that your product will be narrower in the waist area.

Prepare an elastic band or elastic thread in advance. Weave the latter into the work above the belt along with the main yarn.

Below are several descriptions and patterns for knitting skirts with a zigzag pattern:


And photos of finished skirt models:


A light flying sun skirt is an invariable attribute of women's summer looks. It is great for ladies of any body type.

Stock up on long knitting needles of the required thickness before starting knitting.

The sun skirt consists of:
- elastic bands
- coquettes
- wide part

You can not knit a yoke, but start expanding the fabric.

The longer the skirt, the more loops on your knitting needles. Therefore, think in advance about the possibility of dividing the skirt panels into 2 parts and then stitching them together.

Below we add diagrams and descriptions of the work.

Below is a photo of the finished sun skirts:


Openwork skirts attract attention with their lightness and beauty. The longer they are, the more interesting they look on women.

Insert openwork on similar skirts:
- along the bottom edge
- from the middle down
- on the entire canvas

In the latter case, consider the length and material for the lining.
- Choose openwork patterns for knitting midi and maxi skirts that have a straight or trapezoidal shape.
- The best choice of yarn would be pure cotton or with a small percentage of acrylic.
- Stock up on long knitting needles with fishing line.

And we’ll add a few ready-made job descriptions.


And photos of finished openwork skirts:

A feminine and stylish pencil skirt will highlight the beauty of your shape, regardless of your build and height.

Spring is the time when you definitely need to wear a new knitted skirt.

A similar model happens:
- from mono yarn and with jacquard motifs
- regular knitting and intricate weaves of braids and arans

To start bringing your pencil skirt to life, you will need:
- any yarn and knitting needles of equal thickness
- sketch, measurements taken and patterns
- patience and time to work

We add a number of ready-made patterns with a description of knitting a pencil skirt.

Description and knitting pattern for a warm pencil skirt

And a small selection of photos of finished models.


For such a skirt, take either:
- section-dyed Kauni type yarn
- several multi-colored skeins of yarn

A regular set of 2 knitting needles will suit you.

The knitting pattern is a rib, or alternating knit and purl rows on one side of the fabric.
- Start knitting after taking your measurements and marking them on the skirt diagram.
- The direction of your movement is from corner to corner diagonally. Knit 2 fabrics separately and then sew them together.
- Cast on 3 stitches and knit and purl a row.
- Begin to expand the fabric by adding one loop on the front side on each side along the edges. In total, in row 3 you will have 5 loops, in row 5 - 7, and so on.
- Having reached the width of the skirt on one side of the triangular fabric, begin decreasing along it. The scheme is similar to addition. That is, you knit 2 loops together before the edge stitch. On the other side of the triangle, continue adding.
- When you get the length of the skirt from it, start decreasing. In total, you cut loops on both sides of the skirt fabric.
- At the same time, watch for the alternation of color stripes if you are working with several multi-colored balls.
- Having reached 3 loops on the knitting needles, close them and start knitting the second fabric.
- Start working on it from the corner, which in the future will be sewn to the corner of the beginning of the first part of the skirt.
- The operating procedure is similar to that discussed above. However, be careful about the symmetry and width of the color bands.
- Sew both fabrics.
- Raise the loops in a circle and perform an elastic band. If desired, fold it and sew it, thread the elastic.

Below we add a couple of descriptions and patterns for knitting skirts in the diagonal direction.

Ribbed pleated skirts are a great option for the office and relaxing in the warm company of friends.

There are several techniques for pleated knitting on knitting needles:

Imitation, or a hint of folds
- from removed loops
- with laying out part of the canvas in a real fold

Below are the pictures for more details about them.

Based on the presence of pleated zones on skirts, there are:
- on a continuous canvas
- only in the lower part

Typically, pleated repeat is an even number of loops, for example, 10 or 12.

For A-line skirts, use the pleated technique of removed loops with expansion at the edges.

If you have decided on yarn, knitting needles, and a sketch of a skirt, then proceed as follows:
- tie an elastic band of the desired height
- add loops and continue with either stockinette stitch or imitation pleat stitch
- having reached the height of the yoke, begin to form real folds according to the method indicated above in the picture
- continue knitting using the pleated imitation technique to the bottom edge of the skirt
- close the loops loosely without tightening, otherwise it will puff up
- try the finished product and let it dry

Let's add a couple of diagrams and ready-made descriptions of pleated knitted skirts.


The peculiarity of this skirt is that it works in sections that differ from each other:
- number of loops
- thickness of the spokes
- pattern repeat

Note that the main pattern is an elastic band that expands from section to section.

You need:
- yarn of one color or several 400-700 g, depending on the length of the future skirt and its size,
- 4 sets of circular knitting needles of different diameters in increasing order. If you don't want the skirt to be too full, use one set,
- hook for casting on and closing loops,
- marker,
- soft meter and scissors.

Operating procedure:
- measure the circumference of the hips and waist, draw a diagram of the future skirt indicating its length,
- determine the knitting density on the sample,
- cast on the required number of loops equal to your waist size,
- mark the beginning of the row with a marker,
- knit with a 1x1 elastic band to a height of 12 cm,
- change the knitting needles as desired and add loops - after each loop, except for the edge ones, one at a time,
- continue working with a 2x2 elastic band to a height of 15 cm,
- repeat the procedure of changing needles and adding stitches. Perform the last step like this - after 2 knits and 2 purls, 1 loop each. In total, for 4 loops of the fabric there will be 2 added loops,
- change the pattern to 3x3 elastic and continue 19 cm,
- replace the knitting needles again and add loops. Now every 3 knits and purls 1 loop. In total, for 6 loops of the main fabric you will get 2 new ones,
- knit another 24 cm with a 4x4 elastic band and bind off the loops without pulling the thread,
- return to the beginning of work, raise the loops and perform 3 cm of the front stitch, then purl the row, again 3 cm of the front stitch,
connect the end of the fabric to the first row of elastic loops, leave a small gap,
- insert an elastic band into it, wash and dry the skirt.

If you need a shorter skirt, distribute the segments, for example like this:
- first - 11 cm
- second - 13 cm
- third - 13 cm
- fourth - 11 cm

Weightless mohair threads lie easily on knitting needles, and products made from them are beautiful, always in fashion and give the owner warmth.

Simple and openwork patterns look beautiful on this yarn.
- More often, craftswomen select options from the latter for skirts.
- Since mohair is light, decide to create a long flared skirt.

To do this, prepare:
- larger diameter knitting needles
- one or more openwork patterns
- diagram and your measurements
- fabric for lining

Start working from the top, from the waist. Complete part of the fabric with an elastic band at the desired height.

Proceed to knitting the main pattern.
- For convenience, think through your work step by step and mark the transition lines to the next one on the diagram. Combinations with expanding the pattern and changing the knitting needles are possible.
- Be prepared for an excessive number of stitches in the final section of the skirt. It can be 1000 or more loops.
- To make the work easier, knit a skirt from 4 segments and then sew them together. Or buy knitting needles on a long line in advance to avoid seams.

Wash the finished skirt fabric and lay it out until completely dry. Then sew on the lining and insert the elastic.


For a warm skirt for the winter, choose wool yarn and beautiful patterns from braids, arans, and their weaves. If you choose thick natural threads, then focus your attention on simple patterns, for example, garter stitch, rice.

The combination of several colors on winter skirts will oblige you to maintain color harmony throughout the entire look.

The following winter skirt models will suit you:
- straight silhouettes
- with a slight taper towards the bottom, or a pencil
- trapezoid
- moderate flare

Plan the length for a warm skirt to the knee or below.

Knit it:
- continuous fabric in a circle
- followed by stitching on one side
- from 2 parts



Mini skirts have firmly taken a fatal position in women's looks. Linking them is quite simple. Prepare:
- a little yarn - about 300 g
- knitting needles
- favorite pattern/s
- a diagram indicating the height and width in centimeters according to your parameters

The operating procedure is similar to the classic one:
- rubber
- yoke or main fabric with a slight expansion after the previous stage
- tight loop closure for straight and tapered silhouettes
- stitching if you did not knit in the round
- wash, dry and wear



This skirt model is similar to the Eiffel Tower - just as slender and beautiful. On it, needlewomen imitate the pride of France with braids, arans and their weave.

The skirt has the shape of a light flared bottom, the inner parts of which contain either voluminous or simple patterns.

The optimal length is to toe. But it is also allowed up to the knees.

When choosing yarn for knitting such a skirt, pay attention to:
- wool
- wool mixture
- twisted cotton

Other types of yarn will not hold the aran without breaking the pattern.

See the picture below for a description of the work.

Knitting a jacquard skirt can be done by a craftswoman with any level of training. The main thing is to carefully follow the drawing.

If you don't like circular knitting, work on the skirt fabric and then stitch it at the back.

Choose any yarn for both the main motif and the base fabric.

The jacquard motif on knitted skirts can be:
- large - for the entire canvas
- small - displayed on a small area/strip

Let's add a few examples of jacquard skirt models and descriptions of the work on them.



Ribbon yarn itself looks interesting and not boring. Therefore, knit products from it with simple patterns.

Ribbon yarn resembles braid and comes in different thicknesses.

Combine it with fine natural yarn, such as cotton. Knit the rib and yoke as usual, then insert the ribbon yarn.
- This way you will get playful ruffles on the skirt, as the ribbon yarn adds volume.
- Work with garter needles or those connected with fishing line. Ribbon yarn is extremely difficult to sew if it is placed along the edges of the product.

If you are the owner of curvy figures, avoid knitting for yourself with such threads.

Perhaps the most popular type of handmade skirt is flared. Such models are appropriate for women of all ages and sizes.

When drawing a skirt diagram, think about the location of the line of expansion of the fabric. Either it starts immediately from the outer row of the elastic band, or 10-15 cm below.
- Choose yarn with any composition, except excessively thick and tape.
- Interesting models of flared skirts with wedges made of braids framing their edges.

As an alternative, knit a similar skirt with a common fabric vertically. To imitate the soft expansion/contraction of a skirt, use the short row technique.



Other examples:



The assol skirt is suitable for young slender women. It is characterized by:
- short length
- flounce/pleats at the bottom
- decorating the yoke with a braid pattern
- expansion of the canvas in 2 stages - from the elastic band and to form the shuttlecock
- combination of several colors of yarn
- knitting in the round, that is, without a seam

For a detailed description of the work on creating an assol skirt, see the picture.

Godet skirts gained popularity in the last century. They have an elongated main fabric with a flared narrow edge. This skirt model favorably slims its owner and is suitable for both the office and friendly gatherings in a cafe.

Draw a diagram of the future skirt. Its length without a flounce at the hem will be either just above the knee, or clearly along its line.
- The height of the flared flounce varies between 8-20 cm.
- To knit a godet skirt, choose easy-to-work yarn, for example, acrylic, cotton.

The operating procedure is as follows:
- tie an elastic band and tuck it in,
- add loops to transform into a yoke. Moderate expansion of the fabric to the hip line is allowed,
- reduce the number of loops and knit a straight fabric,
- to emphasize the slimness of your figure, plan to reduce the loops until you reach the start line of the shuttlecock,
- double the number of loops on the knitting needles and knit the flared part of the skirt.

The fold on a knitted skirt is achieved by:
- pleated
- elongated loops
- alternating knit and purl stitches

The picture below shows the technique for creating folds.

In shape, these models are similar to a trapezoid, the wide part of which is formed by folds.

A pleated skirt is suitable for women of any age and size.

Before starting knitting, prepare:
- yarn and knitting needles
- detailed diagram of the skirt indicating areas with folds
- your measurements

Determine the direction of work yourself - either longitudinal or transverse. However, the second option is within the capabilities of experienced needlewomen with good spatial imagination.

After the elastic band, slightly expand the fabric by adding loops. Continue even knitting. Insert braids if desired.
- After, for example, 10-15 cm, double the number of loops on the knitting needles. Knit a flounce in stockinette stitch.
- Close the loops freely, without pulling the fabric.
- Fold the last row inside to the wrong side.

An interesting skirt model that is knitted in one piece on 2 knitting needles without stitching. In this case, choose the direction of work at your discretion:
- longitudinal
- transverse
- combined
- diagonal

In addition, such skirts are appropriate in combination with trousers. Then tie the product so that there is an open area at the junction.

Record the smell either:
- turning
- stitching the fabric overlapping
- on buttons

Knitting order:
- measure your hips and add 15 cm for smell to the resulting value,
- cast on 4 stitches on the knitting needles and knit alternate rows with knit and purl
- on the front side of the fabric, add 1 loop after and before the edge stitches, knit the wrong side according to the pattern
- having reached the point of the length of the skirt along one side of the triangle, shorten the loops along it. To do this, knit 2 loops together before the edge, pulling one through the other,
- when the length of the other side of the fabric is equal to the circumference of the hips plus the width of the wrap, cut the loops on this side as well,
- fold the finished part of the skirt so that the smell overlaps,
- pick up loops in a circle to knit an elastic waistband. Pull the thread through the double fabric,
- fold the elastic and connect it to the first row. Thread the elastic band and sew the waistband completely,
- wash the skirt, let it dry on a horizontal surface.


The length of the skirt that is closest to the feminine essence is floor-length.

To knit it, you will need 2-3 times more yarn than for any other. Approximately 700-1000 g.
- It is convenient to make a long skirt on 2 knitting needles on a fishing line.
- Sketch a simple sketch of the future skirt, plan for the narrowing of the fabric 10-15 cm to the end, provided that you knit from the heels to the waist. The classic movement in work is also allowed - from the elastic band to the hem.
- To decorate the finished skirt, make a cord-belt from the same yarn as the main fabric. And also crochet the hem, for example, “crawfish step”.


Curvy women are irresistible in skirts. However, in the preparatory stage for knitting, consider a number of points:

Yarn consumption will be slightly higher
- knitting needles are needed longer and better on the fishing line
- it will take more time to implement

Choose a pattern for the skirt and its knitting technique so that it does not add visually unwanted volume to you. For example, leave a lot of braids on the yoke or extreme widening of the fabric immediately from the waist line for thin girls.

Skirt in photo size: XL

You will need: “Premiere” yarn (100% wool, 300 m/100 g) - 800 g blue, hook No. 3.5, 4, knitting needles No. 3.5, elastic band.

Facial surface: faces. rows - persons. p., out. rows - purl. P.

Using crochet hook No. 3.5, use a chain of 98 chain stitches. p. and knit 6 rows according to pattern 1, 10 rows according to pattern 2, 14 rows according to pattern 3, 12 rows according to pattern 4. Continue crocheting No. 4, knit 4 rows according to pattern 5, then 4 rows according to pattern 6. The second half Knit skirts in the same way. For the belt, cast on 98 stitches and knit 6 rows of knits. satin stitch, 1st row - purl. p., 6 rows of faces. satin stitch

Assembly: Sew side seams. Fold the belt in half lengthwise and sew it to the skirt, insert an elastic band.

Below we will add as an example a diagram and description of working on a large skirt.

You can knit a skirt like this quickly, since you will use knitting needles of the appropriate diameter for thick yarn.

A regular stockinette/garter stitch on a skirt will look like a warm pattern. And braid weaves will add originality to your product.

Knit either:
- in the round on stocking needles
- on knitting needles with fishing line with further stitching of the fabric

Due to the density of the thick yarn, try to minimize the number of seams. This way you will achieve comfort in wearing a skirt.

Don't make it too flared. Thick yarn is quite stiff in the finished product. It may puff up.



A skirt with a lock pattern is suitable for spring and autumn. Insert it either partially or over the entire area of ​​the knitted fabric.

Since the appearance of the “clasp” pattern vaguely resembles braids, skirt models in which it is present on the yoke are especially interesting.

The pattern diagram is below.


Peacock tail skirts have a flared shape. Make a similar pattern using any thick yarn.

These skirts come in:
- openwork and without openwork
- midi and maxi

Below we will add pictures and a diagram of variations of the peacock tail pattern.

Consider the repeat of a specific pattern option when planning a skirt sketch. And also combine with other knits, for example, openwork triangles or stockinette stitch.


Second in simplicity and popularity after knitted/garter stitch skirts.

Knit it with the same elastic band along the entire length or alternate through segments, as we discussed in the section on creating a Bulgarian skirt.

Accordingly, skirts made with elastic are:
- midi and mini
- in the shape of a pipe and trapezoid

Prepare yarn of moderate thickness of any origin and knitting needles to match the diameter of its thread.

Use an elastic band to secure it at the waist.
- Add loops to expand the fabric and change the elastic pattern to a wider one. For example, you worked with 1x1, but switch to 3x3 or 4x4.
- Make accents from braids made on the front strips of elastic. Try to insert them rarely so as not to overload the skirt.

Let's add a couple of job descriptions for inspiration.
