Large size knitted skirt: diagram with description

A skirt in boho style will be a real find for women with curves. This style combines hippies, folklore, military style, a touch of gypsy clothing and ethnic motifs.

The simplest thing that can be crocheted and knitted is a skirt. And no matter how complicated it looks. To make a stylish skirt for any season, it is enough to know the basics of knitting patterns according to the proposed patterns and be able to calculate the number of loops.

Before you start knitting patterns, you need to learn how to correctly read their patterns and master a set of loops and their types: front and back.

Typically, the knitting pattern is a square divided into squares. Each cell is one loop, respectively, the number of cells horizontally and vertically is the number of loops and rows for repeat, i.e. for knitting a pattern using knit and purl stitches.

How to calculate stitches for a knitted skirt

  • make a life-size pattern for the product (for example, by tracing each detail of a finished item in your size);
  • knit 1 pattern repeat according to the chosen pattern with the threads you will start knitting the product with;
  • calculate the number of loops in 1 cm;
  • Compare your data with the product diagram or make your own calculations.

Please note that to knit a skirt, the fabric must be made thick enough, otherwise the skirt will be see-through and you will have to sew an additional lining.

How to knit a simple skirt

There is very little left until summer, so we chose a simple one, knitted from thin threads. Knitting requires less yarn than crocheting, so for such a skirt you will need no more than 350 g of cotton yarn.


How to knit a godet skirt with knitting needles

You can also simply crochet a flared skirt. Below we have given you a slightly different pattern, according to which you can knit a circle skirt both with crochet and knitting, in any chosen pattern.

You can add artificial or real pleats, which will give a flared skirt a more naughty and playful look.

How to knit a skirt on circular knitting needles

Using circular knitting needles, you can knit a skirt in the round, then it will not have seams on the sides. These knitting needles are especially good for knitting flared, wide skirts and dresses.

A small but very useful tip:

How to knit a skirt from ribbon yarn with knitting needles

Ribbon yarn is more reminiscent not of yarn or thread, but of braid or, more precisely, regular ribbon. Such threads make very unique products, especially dresses or skirts. It is better to knit regular patterns with ribbon yarn, without any quirks; it itself is very unusual and beautiful. There is a small nuance when knitting with such threads: their ends unravel very easily, so special attention must be paid to securing the tails.

Ribbon yarn varies in thickness from the thinnest, barely noticeable ribbon, to a wide one, from which very beautiful flounces and ruffles are obtained. This yarn is most often used to knit children's skirts and dresses, scarves and items for interior decoration: tablecloths, lampshades.

We chose a simple baby skirt with ruffles, knitted in a solid, wide ribbon yarn. Despite the simple, uncomplicated knitting, a skirt made from such yarn turns out to be very interesting.

For such a skirt you will need one skein of ribbon yarn and the remains of ordinary cotton threads that match the color. It is also better to knit such a skirt on circular knitting needles, otherwise the side seams will be very noticeable.

  1. Using ribbon yarn, cast on 100 stitches on circular needles and close them into a circle.
  2. Without cutting the ribbon yarn, knit 4 rows in stockinette stitch.
  3. On the fifth row, add ribbon yarn (doubling each stitch).
  4. Repeat steps 1 and 2, adding loops as necessary, according to the size of the skirt, until you reach the desired length.

How to knit elastic for a skirt

When mastering the art of knitting, you definitely need to learn how to knit an elastic band. After all, it is required not only for skirts and trousers, but also for knitting almost all products - mittens, hats, scarves, cuffs and necklines, lamp shades... You can’t list everything. In addition, knitting with even the simplest English rib is often used even in the manufacture of an independent, full-fledged item and is very popular among both experienced knitters and novice needlewomen.

Despite all its ease of execution and versatility, it should be noted that such knitting has both pros and cons. The advantages, of course, include its double-sidedness: the product looks equally good from the inside and from the front side. The thing turns out to be elastic, because it’s not for nothing that it’s an “elastic” after all. The downside is that it cannot be ironed and should only be dried flat to avoid stretching; and no matter how hard you try and care for the product, over time it will still lose its shape, so if you knit a scarf and plan to wear it for more than one season, then initially make it shorter than necessary. In addition, you will need at least twice as much yarn for knitting with English rib than for any other pattern.

Pattern for knitting braids.

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 waist line 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 with knitting needles, 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 waistline, 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.
