Knitted skirt - an actual and stylish solution for spring and autumn. To find one in the store is not easy, and for those who prefer a certain model, even more difficult. However, there is a solution: make the skirt yourself. It is possible both for experienced masters and for beginners.

In this article, you will learn how to knit a skirt for a woman with needles, what you will need for this, and what you should pay special attention to.

Material

In order to knit a skirt yourself, you will need need needles and yarn.

There are several types of needles:

1. Straight knitting needles. Such are used when knitting a straight product. For example, a shawl, bedspread, scarf, etc.
2. Circular needles. Used when knitting a round item, but they are also suitable for knitting things in a straight shape. For example, round or rectangular cloth, capes on the table, etc. Such knitting needles are connected with a fishing line or cord.
3. Stocking needles. Consists of a set with 4-5 needles. Such are used for knitting socks, stockings.
4. Auxiliary spokes. Shorter, compared to others, wavy needles. They are used to create additional elements in the product. For example, pockets, complex geometric patterns, etc.

In order to knit a skirt, you will need circular needles.

When choosing a yarn, pay attention to the season in which you plan to wear the product. If it is fall, a cool season, give preference to woolen yarn. Use a smooth yarn (fine wool, merino), avoid too fluffy (100% angora wool, alpaca).

If it's spring, warm summer, choose fine knitting material with added silk or synthetics for elasticity.

Knitting methods and patterns

There are two ways to knit: by crochet and by needlepoint. We will tell you how to knit a skirt with needles for beginners and amateurs.

Before you start the process, choose a pattern.

There are the following options:

Openwork pattern. Goes well with flared things. Uncomplicated in execution, it looks like umbrellas. With him and it is worth starting for beginners:

• Openwork pattern. Will help to knit a plisse skirt by spokes, looks like rows of triangles. Good to hold the shape.
• Openwork rhombuses. Rhombus pattern. Can be used either along the entire length or just along the bottom of the garment.
• False woven pattern. Consists of intersecting lines that have a clear sequence and shape.

Pencil skirt .

For beginners in needlework a pencil skirt as a first experience will be perfectly suitable. It is not difficult to perform and does not require special skills in knitting. But for those who want to diversify a simple model, we recommend using one of the patterns described above.

There are two options for creating a pencil skirt. The first way is the spiral rubber band pattern. The main feature is the absence of a seam.

Knitting is done with circular needles from the bottom up. Measure your measurements before you begin. The number of loops should be an even number. We knit a 2×2:

Step 1. Create two front stitches.

Step 2. Knit two of the wrong stitches.

Step 3. Weave them together to create the 3rd row.

Step 4. Join the resulting row into a ring and continue to knit in a circle.

Step 4. Repeat until the end of the piece.

Thanks to the elasticity of the yarn, you can easily wear it on the waist (high fit) and on the hips (low fit).

The second way is the pigtail pattern. This model is also knitted without seams. The difference in the creation of the pattern.

Step 1 Take measurements (waist, hips, length for the product from the waist).

Step 2 Create loops for an elastic band. Dial in the necessary amount according to the volume and knit with a straight stitch (10 cm). The lapel for the elastic band is already taken into account.

Step 3. After the elastic, go to the pattern. To create a pigtail, create 4 loops on one. The interval is 2 sts. Add 10 loops evenly and knit according to the example to the middle of the piece. After counting a few loops less and knit on the reduction.

Plisse skirt

To the question of how to knit a children's skirt by needles, the model plisse comes to mind at once. Elegant and comfortable to wear, it rightly occupies the first place in the hearts of moms.

This skirt does not need a pattern. It consists of two halves, which are later sewn together. Transverse knitting is used.

Step 1: Creating the front strip:

• Weave the 1st row with the front stitches;
• 2 rows of wrong stitches;
• 3 - front row;
• 4, the wrong row.

Step 2: Weave the wrong strip in the opposite principle:

• Row 5 - the back stitches;
• 6th row - facing;
• Row 7 - "A" stitches;
• Row 8 - also on the wrong side for more drape.

Step 3 Repeat all steps until the end of the piece.

Step 4 Do the same with the second half.

Step 5 Sew the two halves together.

Sun Skirt .

After selecting the color, the yarn and determining the volume, you can start. We work from the bottom up, gradually decreasing the number of stitches.

Step 1. Count the needed number of stitches and knit, alternating right and wrong stitches (1×1).

Stage 2 Closing the circle.

Step 3. Knit up to ¼ of the piece and start decreasing the number of stitches. After one lap with the reduction, knit the next one without the reduction.

Step 4: Insert the elastic into the top and sew the holes.

Mohair skirt

Mohair fabrics are very soft and elegant. Mohair skirt will be one of the favorites for summer and spring.

The best way to use this material is in the model of skirt-sun. Thin, of many fibers, it is knitted with circular needles and the finished product turns out airy, with beautiful folds.

Step 1. Take measurements;

Step 2. Knit about 30 cm of the elastic band (choose a thin one);

Step 3. Create a row of loops and join in a circle;

Step 4. Knit, gradually increasing the number of new loops: 2 rows the same, 1 row increased;

Step 5. When you reach the desired length, close the stitches.

Diagonal Skirt

A distinctive feature is the pattern knitted on the diagonal. By adding different colors, the accent will become even brighter.

Step 1. Create a number of loops based on the length of the piece.

Step 2. In the 1st row, we do the front stitches.

Step 3: In row 2, add 1 stitch at the beginning and remove 1 stitch at the end, knit on the wrong side.

Step 4 The next 3 and 4 rows are knitted only with the right side, remembering to repeat step 3.

Step 5. When you reach the desired length, close the loops.

Step 6. Repeat with the second half and sew them together.

Openwork Skirt

One of the elegant models. When creating it, you need to show special care and attention, so that each pattern turned out perfect and all together looked harmoniously.

A good option for summer, especially made in light shades.

Knit a shawl pattern:

Step 1. Measure volumes.

Step 2. We dial in 1 row of front stitches, close in a circle.

Step 3. Continue the same row with the wrong stitches.

Step 4. Make 1 cast on between 2 stitches, in the next round we use a front stitch, this will make an opening.

Step 5: Alternate steps 2, 3, 4.

Step 6: Take 1 stitch off as a front stitch and place it on top of the stitch we're through.

Step 7. This way we knit to the end and put in the elastic.

Flared skirt

A demi-seasonal skirt for the cold season. A-line silhouette, flared to the bottom of the product is knitted from dense wool. When choosing, look at the fluffiness. Know when a lot of small fibers come off the threads, the sewn skirt will be fuller.

With wedges made with shortened rows, a flounce is created. The visual pleat effect is created by knitting across the patterns:

Step 1: Create a rubber band: 1×1 front and back stitches. Close in a circle.

Step 2. We make 1 row of wrong stitches (fold).

Step 3. The next 4 stitches are knit on the right side.

Step 4. In the last row in addition to the basic number of loops, we add ¼ more.

Step 5: Continue to knit 11 rounds on 2 rounds on each side, repeat 7 times.

Step 6. Create an extension: on both sides of the front, knit 5×1 consecutive twists, crossed over from between the stitches.

Step 7: Tuck in the rubber band and hem the last row. Sew the edges together.

Winter Skirt

Clothes for winter are created from warmth-preserving materials (merino wool) and knit exclusively with needles, because you can't get a dense texture without holes with a hook.

Topical models are:

• Pencil skirt (length just below the knee);
• Skirt-sun;
• A-silhouette.

When adding patterns, you can decorate the product or make it practical, with pockets. In this case you will need auxiliary needles.

Summer skirt

For warm seasons - thin materials, preferably with the addition of synthetics. So the product will be more elastic.

One of the popular materials this year is mohair. It is thin, pleasant to the body and allows creating real masterpieces.

For summer time any models of skirts will do, but the classical variants remain:

• Pencil skirt (mini, midi, maxi);
• Flared skirt (mini and maxi);
• Sun skirt (midi);
• Plisse skirt (mini, midi)
• Fishnet skirt (maxi).

Match the shades to your closet, but for hot times it's better to take light colors.

Long Skirt

In order to make a maxi length skirt look light and airy, you need to be careful in choosing the material. Give preference to thin, without thick wool.

Skirts with a print look good, spectacular and bright.

Openwork skirts for summer and spring.

With braids - business-like stylish.

These models are suitable not only for holidays, but also for everyday life.
