A woman cannot live without dresses and outfits. A skirt is a very comfortable alternative. It can easily be complemented with your favorite blouse. But cross-knitted skirts look so cute. So much warmth and so many pleasant feelings from such a product.
A skirt, like many knitted items, can be easily made on a knitting machine.
Let's try to make the simplest patterns using a knitting machine.
Yarn
You should not use yarn for the machine for purposes other than its intended purpose.. Anyone who has such a knitting machine has already realized that non-format yarn can not only harm the product, but also break the machine itself. And how many additional settings will such yarn require?
Don't waste your time on this It’s easier to buy special skeins of yarn for machine knitting. Everything here has already been provided by the masters. You only need to choose a model and pattern for the canvas.
Sample
The pattern for the skirt is very important, despite the machine knitting. Even if you have already knitted such a product a thousand times and used this pattern, the thickness of the thread may be different.
It’s worth playing it safe and making a small sample, and then calculating the density of the knitting and calculating the exact dimensions for your product. Translating everything into loops is not difficult even for a beginner.
Skirt crosswise on a knitting machine
A very beautiful skirt model with arans. You can knit many products on a knitting machine, but they will be distinguished by one important detail - all the loops will be even. It looks very good.
To work you will need:
- gray yarn for knitting machine;
- knitting machine;
- rubber;
- needles and threads.
Pattern
We prepared the pattern before starting knitting. Only now the measurements will be a little different. You need to measure the circumference of your hips - this will be the length of the product. Measure the required length from the waist line (where the elastic of the skirt will lie). Add 10 cm to the elastic band.
You need to knit a square fabric with two sizes shown.
Place the arana pattern in the center. And as an elastic band for the bottom edge, use alternating two front and two back rows.
Knitting
Set the machine density to 10 and start knitting the fabric.
Stitching
For the skirt, we left 10 cm on one edge for elastic. Sew and insert elastic. All that remains is to sew the back seam and the skirt is ready.
This is how quickly you can make a crosswise skirt with a knitting machine. It is permissible to change the pattern of the canvas and create another model at your discretion.
Pleated skirt on a knitting machine
Very thin knitwear, which can never be made by hand, is accessible to knitting machines. He attracts attention with a pleated skirt. Luxurious and extremely even stripes flow across such a thin fabric.
To work you will need:
- gray and white yarn for knitting machines;
- 5th grade knitting machine.
Among the additional tools, a special bar is useful, which is designed for knitting thin products.
Pattern
The diagram shows needle points that need to be moved to a different position. How many fabrics are needed for the skirt? So, if you knit for a size up to 50, then 3 will be enough. And if it is more than 50, then you can knit 4 fabrics. The density of this knitting and this particular model was approximately 80 stitches per 10 cm. This is without stretching the fabric. But for your model, you always need to bandage and double-check.
Circle
Further calculations along the circumference - for this model the circumference is 122. When translating, it turns out that 976 loops are needed in width. Therefore, for three fabrics you will need 325 loops each.
Length
Calculate the length of the skirt. For 64 cm you will need to knit 396 rows.
Assembly
Sew on the waistband and insert elastic. Sew the fabrics carefully from the wrong side. The product is ready. Shiny threads with lurex were used as decoration for the model. It turned out to be a very beautiful skirt.
A knitting machine can knit faster and smoother than hand knitting. Therefore, for those who live by knitted things and want to quickly get the fruits of their work, it is simply impossible without a knitting machine. And what kind of skirts can you wear with them? Try to knit these models and maybe you will come up with your own unique options for making a master class.
