Mohair yarn is becoming popular and products made from it are in great demand. Manufacturers have already noticed its clear advantage and will soon raise the price of fiber. Therefore, you should hurry up when choosing yarn.
A charming blouse made of thin and delicate mohair. Now there are several models of mohair skirts, which would easily complement any blouse and a couple more things from the wardrobe of a fashionable lady.
Yarn and knitting needles
Mohair has different fibers and is therefore divided depending on the thickness of the thread. For children, a very thin thread is often used; it is made from the hair of young goats. That's why she's so fluffy and tender. But for older people, you can look for good threads with thicker fibers.
Some models can easily be created from the thickest of its fibers, and this only suits the thing. Everyone has their own preferences in color, but it’s better to look at what colors will be fashionable this season and knit not only a beautiful skirt, but also to match the fashionable shades of the year.
As for the knitting needles, their choice depends on the product.For example, sun skirts knitted in the round and other skirts in the round are easy and very convenient to create using round knitting needles. You can try making other patterns using simple and straight knitting needles.
Knitting pattern
You definitely shouldn’t rely on guessing the buttonholes for your skirt. It's better to do it according to the instructions. Many people are very reluctant to knit a pattern. And it’s very unclear why, because knitting is a hobby. Why not practice with the pattern separately first. Then start the whole product. In addition, during training you can also calculate the density of the knitting. Using this indicator, it will be easy to count the loops for any product, including mohair skirts.
All that is needed is an ordinary stationery ruler. Let's measure 10 cm and calculate how many loops and how many rows are in the resulting segment. That's all - these are two numbers to indicate the knitting density.
Step by step how to knit mohair skirts
All the subtleties are more or less clear and now we can move on to the juiciest part - these are the mohair models themselves. But here very sophisticated models have been selected, and there is an opportunity not only to contemplate beautiful things with your own eyes, but also to carry them out with the help of a very clear guide. Therefore, we simply buy mohair and knitting needles according to the number for mohair and begin to do similar steps in creating a new item.
Knitted mohair long skirt
This ideal was created with simple knitting needles and simply the golden hands of a master. Very feminine and with great taste. One can only imagine how warm and pleasant it is to the body. The diamonds on the canvas fit very well into the format. And a small frill is an echo of antiquity with fashionable lace and very lush flounces.
The work will require:
- medium thickness mohair yarn;
- knitting needles number 2.
Stage: measurements
For a skirt, you will need to measure your waist circumference and the height of the product from the waist to the floor. Next, knit a sample according to the fabric pattern and calculate the knitting density and determine how many loops are needed for a circular cast-on. You should not knit all the way to the floor using the main pattern. You need to subtract 10 cm from the length and perform these 10 cm with a flounce and a simple stockinette stitch.
Stage: elastic band
For elastic use a simple stockinette stitch, and so that it does not look massive, it is better to use the thinnest elastic band that is commercially available for fixation. This elastic band is most often used for tights. But it will be very useful in this product, just make a small pocket for it and insert it during the assembly stage. Knit about 30 cm in stockinette stitch.
Stage: foundation
After the impressive elastic band, you should move on to the diamond pattern. This is a very beautiful geometric figure in this case, miniature and slender. It is performed using yarn overs and loops knitted together. It turns out a very beautiful openwork with diamonds.
Knit in the round after the stockinette stitch and add after each repeat for a number of stitches equal to 3 repeats. Continue like this until the end of the canvas using diamonds. In order to get a smooth bevel, you need to finish the front side and carefully go to the back. Gradually close the loops. First, half a circle, and then close one repeat in each row. Knit to the required length and simply bind off all the loops.
Stage: shuttlecock
It is better to make the hem with stockinette stitch and for this you should pick up loops along the edge of the hem. Knit with a simple stockinette stitch and make small increases in each row so that the wave turns out to be very fluffier than the main fabric. To increase, it is better to use the pattern: in every second row, add one loop every 5 loops.Knit a flounce 10 cm and bind off all the loops.
Stage: assembly
Sew the edge of the top elastic and leave a small section. Insert the elastic using a convenient pin and sew the section to the end.
So the fashionable and very elegant skirt model is ready.
Full skirt with short flounces
A very unusual, feminine and stunning model. This is the dream of every girl, girl and woman. It's time to make all your dreams come true. We begin to carry it out according to a simple and understandable scheme below.
The work will require:
- mohair yarn is the thinnest fiber;
- knitting needles number 2.
Stage: measurements
Measure your waist circumference and length from the waist to the knee line. You will need these measurements for the base of this skirt. Since the model itself consists of a base that resembles a pencil skirt, it will be very fitted. But the flounces are lush and so airy - these are elements already sewn on top of such a base. Knit a small square from the stockinette stitch pattern and determine how many loops there are in 10 cm. How many rows there can be.
Record these two numbers, since this is the knitting density, from which you can safely build a pattern for the product. What should you do next? Calculate how many loops are needed along the waistline, and how many rows will need to be knitted for the length of the product. Moreover, you can make a mistake in the number of rows, but you shouldn’t joke with the width.
Stage: foundation
For size 46 mohair, you will need to cast on 200 stitches for the base. Knit 60 cm for the base and simply bind off the loops.
Important! Knit out a few cm for the elastic, since the upper part will require elastic.
Facial surface
Stage: shuttlecocks
According to the model, you will need to knit 6 shuttlecocks. You can knit directly from the product, you can knit them separately and then simply sew them in the right places with a hidden seam.For the width of the flounce, use two waist circumference measurements. But with each row, increase by one loop after every 5 stitches.
Knit a length of 12 cm for one flounce. It is very important that each subsequent shuttlecock be a little larger and more magnificent than the previous one, and therefore, when casting on for the next one, it is worth adding 20 loops in the cast at once, and the pattern remains unchanged, adding additions in the same sequence. As a result, it is necessary to create 6 shuttlecocks.
Stage: assembly
If the flounces were made separately, then you should carefully sew them to the base, having previously outlined the lines and attached them to the product. Make a pocket for the elastic and carefully insert the elastic, sew up the remaining section.
The model is simply ready to be tried on and you can show off this perfect creation in front of the mirror.
Very beautiful and very elegant new items made from mohair yarn are made by craftsmen. Don’t be afraid of these loops with lint and just choose what you like and make this beauty.
