Yarn and knitting needles

For a skirt in an elastic pattern, you can use smooth varieties.

Advice! You should not pay attention to multi-fibers, as the pattern will simply be shifted and it will not look very nice as a result. Inclusions and variations in fiber thickness would also be inappropriate.

Even and smooth, preferably non-prickly options are suitable. And for winter models it is high content, and for summer models it is cotton based. Knitting needles for a skirt are selected according to the thickness of the yarn and the model depends on the fabric.

For models that are made in the circle - these are round knitting needles or stocking needles (stockings, in turn, are not always comfortable, as they are too short). For those models that are made with seams, it is better to use regular (long) or circular knitting needles.

Sample

A small square according to the pattern of the main fabric must be knitted before work. Then apply a ruler and count how many loops there are in 10 cm. Also, unfold the ruler and count how many rows along a vertical line. These two numbers show the knitting density.

Based on the knitting density, you can already guess how many loops will be needed to cast on, and in general, how many rows the skirt will require.

• knitting needles number 2.

Measurements

The product will only require two measurements. The first is waist circumference. The second is the length of the product from the waist to the knee. Additionally, as with any other product, you will need to make a sample. Calculate how many loops are needed for the size of the circle. And also estimate the approximate length of the product.

Rubber

For size 44 you will need to cast on 200 stitches. The thread is very thin and that is why such a large set is needed. Knit 10 cm in stockinette stitch. In the last row, through 4 loops, make a yarn over in order to insert a tie (lace).

The basis

Switch from elastic to the main pattern. Butter, but switch from the elastic of the skirt to the elastic of the main pattern. This is a 3 by 2 elastic band. That is, three knit loops and two purl loops. Knit 10 rows and then add. In the knit stitches, add one loop in each strip. Knit again without changes and you will get a 4*2 elastic band. After 20 rows, add loops in the purl strip. One loop for a strip. Knit like this to the required length with a gradual increase in the purl stripes after 20 rows along the loop for the strip.

Assembly

Sew the top edge to the inside for the elastic. To do this, fold it carefully and you can wet the canvas a little. Insert an elastic band along the circumference (do not use too tight one).

To work you will need:

• white yarn made from 50% wool (more wool is possible);
• elastic band 4 cm wide;
• knitting needles number 3.

Measurements

Measure the waist circumference and length for the product from the waist line. Knit the sample using the 2*2 elastic pattern. It is this elastic band that is used for the entire skirt. Calculate how many loops you will get for the circumference and how many rows you will need for the length.

Important! Row lengths can subsequently be adjusted and measured as the piece is completed.

Rubber

To cast a size 42 skirt you will need 80 stitches. Start immediately with the loops of the main pattern.These are 2*2 elastic loops. Knit for an 8 cm elastic band.

The basis

Without changing anything, just go to the basics. The pattern remains the same throughout the entire product. That is why this model is considered so simple. Knit the required length and bind off the loops.

Important! If you just close the loops, you won't get a very beautiful bottom. Therefore, it is important to close the loops according to the fabric pattern.

Assembly

Fold the top of the skirt under the elastic and sew it to the inside of the skirt. Use a hidden seam for stitching. It is better not to use machine stitching, since knitted items are very difficult to knit without stretching the fabric. But it is very difficult to rip them, you can damage the thread of the skirt fabric, and the entire fabric will suffer from unraveled threads.

The model is ready and you can try it on. Without changing the number of loops in each row, the skirt turns out to be tight due to the fact that the elastic stretches very well.

Midi length pencil skirt

A very popular model. It has everything that is valued in a fashionable skirt in 2018. This is also a three-dimensional pattern, which is obtained by using a 1*1 elastic band.

Rubber

For the elastic, cast on 90 stitches. The size is designed for model 46. The yarn is very soft and a pleasure to knit.The master will be delighted with this baby and the product as a whole. Cast on stitches and knit 6 cm in stockinette stitch. Cast off stitches.

Front/back

Very interesting, but this charmer is knitted in straight rows and reverse rows (not in the round). Therefore, we cast on 45 loops for the front and start immediately with the main 1*1 elastic pattern. Knit the length without changing the stitches. Do not change the pattern of the fabric and only ensure that your knitting stitches are even. Also knit the back.

Assembly

Combine the front and back pieces. Sew along the side lines and make a very even seam and not visible from the front side. Fold the strip for the elastic and sew the edges.

Important! By sewing with free edges, you save time and thread. Since at the same time the seam is made and the sides are aligned and the elastic and the body of the skirt are connected.

All that remains is to insert the elastic band and try on the skirt.
