The pencil skirt was initially used only in a business style and often women simply created an outfit from it for work or the office. Now, with the advent of new models, these things can be found in almost any style. This is a romantic look, a casual style, and even a sporty one with sneakers. Let's try to figure out what the most fashionable styles are and how to knit them using knitting needles and beautiful yarn. Several fashionable new items are included below with diagrams and descriptions.
Fashionable pencil skirt styles
No sooner had new pencil skirt models appeared than they took all the leading places. These are very interesting options with fringe, wraparound, unusually high waist, lace models. Among this variety, you can choose the most suitable ones for your new look.
Which yarn to choose for a skirt
The yarn for such a charming product should be as dense as possible. To create a warmer fiber, it is better to pay attention to the composition of the wool in the thread. Demi-season models are good in one thread.And the warmest ones can be knitted in two or even three threads. It will be comfortable if the yarn for the item is not scratchy, so if you want to make your favorite product, it is better to pay attention to such subtleties.
Which knitting needles to choose
To knit a skirt, you can use both long regular knitting needles and circular knitting needles. It will not be very convenient for hosiery to knit a huge circle. It is very important to select knitting needles according to the thread size. This will make the fabric stronger and the loops even.
How to choose the right color for a knitted skirt
I am very glad that the color range of the yarn is not limited to a couple of boring colors. Therefore, there will definitely be plenty to choose from. A little advice for those ladies who do not want to focus on their legs in such a model is to choose a darker shade. You can also use black color. In this case, it is better for them to use a lighter top. But those young ladies who, on the contrary, decided to emphasize their cute legs should turn to bright and appetizing colors and especially large knitting.
Pattern patterns for knitting a pencil skirt
The most suitable patterns for the canvas will be in relief and, if possible, intersecting to create a very dense pattern.
Very interesting patterns and a good stretchy pattern. At the same time, it is dense, high and practically does not stretch over time.
A common knitting technique is a tangle. This pattern is also often called rice and even pearls. Depending on the scale, it can be large or small. Accordingly, the pattern is small and large rice.
An unusual and very interesting pattern called diagonal. These are simple diagonal stripes that make the item fashionable and beautiful.
This is not the first season that this pattern has remained popular. But now it is customary to use it not only for vests.
It’s difficult to ignore such a voluminous and dense pattern. What beautiful products he creates. A girl should have at least one thing with such an attractive pattern.
The pencil skirt will be complemented by a knitting pattern made from small braids. A fabulous weave and popular design are guaranteed with them.
The usual 2*2 elastic band will not be left out either. It emphasizes the figure very beautifully, and by placing it vertically you can visually lengthen your legs.

You can make the most fashionable knitted skirts with your own hands. Very interesting models that are selected to create an elegant look. For each model there is a pattern diagram, a detailed description for performing the work, as well as a list of necessary materials and tools.
Classic pencil skirt
A very discreet model that will perfectly complement your business style. Made from small braids. The pattern almost merges and slightly resembles an elastic band. These result in elegant small braids and a beautiful whole fabric.
To work you will need:
- yarn with 50% burgundy wool;
- knitting needles number 2;
- elastic band 4 cm thick.
Stage: measurements. You must first take three measurements. This is the circumference of the waist, hips and the length of the product from the waist line. Knit the sample according to the pattern of the braids provided. Calculate the density and compare everything to the required dimensions. Size 46 shown here, but stitches may vary as yarn quality and knitting varies.
Stage: elastic band. Make a set of loops for the elastic. For size 46 you need to cast on 138 stitches. Knit 10 cm in stockinette stitch. This takes into account the flap for the elastic.
Stage: main pattern. Immediately after completing the front stitch of the elastic, move on to the main pattern of the fabric. These are small braids. The width of one is 4 loops.Between the braids there is a small interval of 2 purl loops. In the first row, add 10 stitches evenly. Next, knit according to the pattern of the fabric and after 10 cm, add the same number of loops. Knit the product without changes to a length of 30 cm, and then begin decreasing.
Stage: decreases. Decrease every 10 cm and decrease the purl stitches first. The first time through one stripe. When there is only one purl loop between the braids, stop decreasing and tie to the elastic band.
Stage: elastic band. The elastic band is made according to the 2*2 pattern. These are two knit stitches and two purl stitches. Knit about 10 cm and finish knitting. Close the loops strictly according to the pattern of the fabric, tightening the loops well so that there is no protrusion.
Stage: assembly. Insert an elastic band, sew the fabric with a hidden seam and you can try on a beautiful thing.
Knitting a pencil skirt with a slit
Here it is, a simple and uncomplicated elastic band 2*2. This beautiful thing is very slimming, so all those who want to visually lengthen their legs and appear a little slimmer should choose this model.
To work you will need:
- yarn with medium thickness merino wool;
- knitting needles number 2.
Stage: measurements. A very worthy product, easy to make. Only two measurements need to be taken. The first is the waist circumference, and the second is the desired length from the waist.
Important! The elastic stretches very well and therefore there is no need to measure the hip circumference. The model should be tight.
We knitted the sample and counted the required number of loops.
Stage: elastic band. For the elastic band, knit 6 cm with the main pattern. Use a thin elastic band so as not to focus attention on the skirt waistband.
Stage: foundation. After the elastic, knit the same pattern to the neckline, it runs 18 cm to the required length.
Stage: cutout. To obtain a neckline, knitting from the circle simply switches to a plain fabric. But try to separate them in the place between the two front loops, so that you can simply make edge loops from them. Knit the rest of the product in straight and reverse rows and bind off all loops.
Important! To prevent the skirt from becoming a wave at the bottom after closing the loops, the elastic should be closed not in two loops by knitting together and transferring, but in three.
The new thing will definitely not gather dust in the closet; a fashionista will never let it out of her everyday outfit.

A popular model with a peplum for girls and women. Emphasizes all the charms of the figure. In addition to the peplum, this model is also rich in arans. It's hard not to notice such a delightful product. The peplum itself is fluffy and made with a regular 2*2 elastic band.

Stage: foundation. Go to the basic braid pattern and an English elastic in the form of a diamond. There are also braids along the edges. Purl stitch between the elements. With it the pattern will be clearer.
Stage: elastic band. Knit to the elastic with the main pattern. The elastic band at the bottom of the product must be done 1*1. This is one knit stitch and one purl stitch. Make no more than 5 cm and close the rows strictly according to the pattern of the canvas.
Stage: Basque. The peplum is made with a regular elastic band. For it you need to cast on 7 loops and start with the elastic pattern. Perform rows with additions. Every three rows make additions from one edge. After obtaining the required width of the peplum, stop decreasing. Continue knitting with the same symmetrical decrease. There will be 7 loops left and just close them off.
Stage: assembly. First, sew the peplum to the front front, and then insert the elastic and make a blind seam on the wrong side of the skirt.
Openwork pencil skirt
This is just a weightless skirt. But the pattern is so transparent that it definitely requires lining. For lining, you can use beige cotton fabric.
To work you will need:
- fine cotton yarn of medium thickness;
- knitting needles number 2.
Stage: elastic band. There is no such elastic band here, but a couple of rows and a row with yarn overs will be useful for a rope that will secure the outfit. Knit 6 rows in stockinette stitch. In the middle, make yarn overs every 10 loops.
Stage: foundation. Go to the main pattern and knit to the length required by the pattern using diamonds according to the pattern. Stop knitting halfway through the repeat and simply bind off the stitches.

How to knit a pencil skirt for plus size people
You can knit a pencil skirt for any figure. There is an important advantage of the product here. By changing the length line, we get a correction line. Full legs will help lengthen the line just below the knee. But a good effect is achieved with a length just above the knee. This is such a game of style. But the main thing that is not required for full legs is volume. On the contrary, it is necessary to choose flat designs whenever possible. Better with vertical stripes. This visually lengthens the silhouette and legs. But you shouldn’t focus on wide lines; it’s better to take thin lines, for example, a 2*2 elastic band.
