Long knitted skirt

Long skirts remind us very much of ancient times. Many films depict old paintings and therefore it is not difficult to plunge into the past for a minute. But you don't need to turn back time to try on the charming long skirts that women wore with such success.

The long skirt is very popular now. Why not make something reminiscent of the outfits of the past.

Several of the most daring looks for the beauty, who can skillfully apply them in her everyday outfit.

Yarn and knitting needles

More knitting patterns are created using thicker fibers. This crochet hook is elegant and can work with the thinnest threads, but knitting needles are closer to braids and something more voluminous. But with wool or acrylic - this is the choice of the master and based on the model.

In any case, the knitting needles will depend on the thickness of the yarn, and the model will depend on the product itself. For example, it is better to knit voluminous and circular items with special circular knitting needles rather than stocking needles.

Sample

Even something as large as a long knitted skirt will require a sample from the master.You should not lose attention to such an important detail in craftsmanship. You should always use the main model diagram as a sample.

You need to knit a small square and calculate its knitting density. This is calculated using a ruler. The number of loops and the number of rows per 10 cm are calculated. It is advisable to record such indicators and then use them to determine the number of loops to cast on and the number of rows in the product.

Step-by-step instructions on how to knit a long skirt

Below are three models of skirts from the category long knitted skirts. They are very cute and easy to make. Therefore, you should trust your own strengths and make the best thing with your own hands. Let's look at knitted skirts with braids with detailed descriptions, photos and diagrams.

Floor-length skirt with royal braids

The color is luxurious and very fashionable this season. Royal braids are perfect in their name and represent something so unusual. They are often used in craftsmen's hats, but they don't even realize how good they turn out to be in long skirts.

The work will require:

• blue yarn (cold shade);
• knitting needles number 3.

Measurements

Any product requires measurements before creation. And this model was no exception, and therefore it is worth using a measuring tape to measure the waist circumference and calculate the length from this waist to the floor. If you have a long heel, it is better to measure along with your shoes.

Rubber

The model is knitted in the round and it is worth using circular knitting needles. The royal model begins with a regular 1*1 elastic band.

For size 46, you will need to cast on 170 loops for the elastic band and knit 22 cm with the above elastic band.

The basis

Immediately after the elastic, evaluate how many repeats can be made in the resulting set and, if necessary, make the necessary additions in the last row of the elastic. Next, knit according to the pattern with beautiful royal braids. Garter stitch fabrics are inserted between the braids. The most interesting thing is that the expansion occurs precisely due to such paintings. The fact is that in each row, when crossing, which happens very often in this case, increase exactly one stitch in the garter stitch pattern.

Knit according to the proposed pattern with the adding technique to the desired length.

The skirt is just a dream not only for the fashionista, but also for the master himself. Braids are not so difficult to make, and a simplified elastic band and no binding only attract knitters.

Long knitted skirt for plus size people

The coolest model which can only hide fullness and at the same time emphasize the line of the ankles. It’s no secret that it is this part that attracts and fascinates so much. Any girl loves this part of her body and therefore it is better to demonstrate it so easily and naturally with this skirt.

The work requires:

• the yarn is dark brown or just black;
• knitting needles number 3 circular.

Measurements

Very few measurements are needed for this model. This is to measure from the waist line to the midi length using a measuring tape. And the next one is waist circumference.

Rubber

It is very convenient that the whole thing is knitted with only one pattern; you only need to make small additions and not change anything else. So, for size 52, you will need to cast on 40 rapports along the waist line (if you take into account that there are three loops in one, then there will be a total of 120 loops in the set). For a real elastic skirt, knit 9 cm.Next, after complete knitting, you will need to insert an elastic band approximately 4 cm wide into the indicated place.

The basis

After the elastic band, knit 3 more rows and only after them you can start adding. It is necessary to add at one interval. That is, there should be the same distance between 4 points. All additions to the pattern should form a small branch. And this is clearly visible on the model itself.

Make additions in one row for 4 repeats. That is, add one rapport at one point. Make such generous increments every 3 rows.
For size 52 there should be a total of 14 additions.

Knit the last row by closing the loops according to the pattern of the fabric.

Important! It is better to close not immediately after the addition, but three rows from the last increase.

Insert an elastic band, make a seam by hand and a beautiful skirt is ready that will demonstrate all the charms of size 52.

Knitted skirt with unusual flounces

This model is so close to the vintage models, what might you think, she is from the distant past. Only now it does not serve as protection from the wind, but is part of the outfit. Her role is more aesthetic. Unless you create it from very thick yarn with a high wool content.

To work you need:

• thin gray yarn;
• knitting needles number 2.

Measurements

Measure the length from the waist to the floor. It is better to do this with shoes that are further suitable for this model. The second size is, of course, the waist. Since this model is fitted only with elastic, and then simply flounces down to the floor.

Rubber

Gain a little more for your waist circumference. Then special lacing will beautifully tighten the product using a unique technology. For size 46, cast on 130 stitches and purl 10 rows.

Important! To tie in the second row and in 8, make yarn overs through 6 loops; in the 8th row, do it in a checkerboard pattern in relation to the second row.

Then knit with increments of two loops per row. Knit 26 cm and bind off the loops.

Shuttlecock

Knit two shuttlecocks separately. Knit using stockinette stitch and knit the outer stitches in garter stitch.. It is very important that after stitching the seam is visible, this is the essence of this particular model. Knit two waist measurements and cast off the row.

Knit the second shuttlecock in the same way, but it should be slightly narrower in width than the first. Continue knitting in the same pattern, and 30 cm longer.

Assembly

Sew on the first flounce first, and then the second. Be sure to make even gathers.

Decoration

To decorate the model, you will need to insert lacing into the upper part of the skirt. This is why staggered yarn overs were created. Insert and pull, you get a very beautiful edge. The pompoms are made from the same yarn and sewn to the edges of the lacing. The result is simply the cutest decoration for this model. It is very difficult to imagine other jewelry for such an old model.
