Knitted pleated skirt

Popular not so long ago the pleated skirt is on the runway again. She climbs back into the lead. But no one ever forgot about her, even if she ceases to be popular, girls will not immediately be able to refuse such a cutie.

This style has captivated the hearts of girls so much that it is simply impossible to ignore it.

But the good news is that the model has been revived again and therefore very fashionable models are waiting for you further.

We just take it and make cool pleated skirts for women and girls.

Yarn and knitting needles

Yarn for pleating should be of medium thickness, otherwise the pattern simply will not be visible and it will merge with straight skirts. But in terms of warmth, it can be both a summer model and a winter model.

Knitting needles are selected after the yarn and always according to the number for the fiber. Usually there are special footnotes on the yarn itself that tell you which knitting needles or crochet to make the product with.

Sample

In this case, it would be very appropriate to knit a sample and see how many loops you should count on when making the product.In fact, the sample should be made larger, since this insidious pattern can tighten more strongly with a large volume and turn out to be small. But it’s not worth carrying out huge reserves for him.

Therefore, a small sample, then we calculate how many loops are needed for 10 cm, and compared everything to the existing size.

That's all, you can continue knitting, but with the correct set of loops. Let's look at knitted pleated skirts with a detailed description.

Pleated skirt with three elastic bands for women

A very interesting interpretation of a pleated skirt is knitted with three different elastic bands. The most interesting thing is that many masters use such simple patterns in their works so often that they don’t even consider them as something separate for the pattern of an entire model.

The work will require:

• Angora yarn thick fiber;
• knitting needles number 3.

Measurements

All sizes below are for size 46 only.

First rubber band

The main loops are almost invisible, but they are there. This is a wide elastic band that is inserted into the corresponding pocket. Stockinette stitch was used for the pocket. But it is not so noticeable, since the next pattern goes on and it is simply lost in the whole canvas.

To complete the start for model 46 you need to cast on 160 loops. To do this, knit 10 cm. This indicator is calculated for a width of 5 cm. Immediately after 10 cm of the front stitch, you need to move on to the first knitting. This will be a 1*1 mating. For it it is worth knitting 17 cm.

Mating second

Then the second pattern begins and again it’s an elastic band, only this time it’s not 1*1, but 1*2. For the front side you need to show side 2 of the front loops. To do this, add one loop after each knit stitch of the previous one and knit these yarn overs with knit stitches in the new row.

Important! It is safer to make additions instead of the usual yarn over by knitting the gap between the main loops (these are small connections). In this case, there will be no noticeable addition or holes, which are so often obtained after yarn over.

Knit 20 cm from the beginning of knitting 1*2 in the new pattern.

Elastic band third

Third mating and she has the latest pleated skirt pattern. This is respectively 2*2. For this, add purl stitches; the increases are very similar to the previous technique. Therefore, such an increase will not be visible. But the extension will turn out beautiful. Knit to the floor with the remaining pattern. Just close the last row according to the pattern of the canvas, but try to close it spaciously and without tightening it. This will create a lush wave that will prevent real pleated waves from moving to the side.

Now the charmer is ready and you can try it on with your favorite turtleneck. The product looks very impressive if it is made with multi-yarn yarn.

Pleated miniskirt with false English elastic band for girls

What kind of deception is this if use a false elastic band and is it so beautiful?. Still so beautiful. The most interesting thing is that for a pleated skirt it is not a real English one that is suitable, but a copy or a false one. It doesn’t tighten the loops that way, and the pattern itself turns out to be double-sided.

PYou get a pleated effect and knitting is not so difficult. If we compare such a rubber band in terms of complexity with the English one, then this type cannot be simpler. It's all about the false model technique. There are simply knit and purl loops here. No demolition, capping and other red tape, as was the case with the natural English model, is expected here.

The work will require:

• acrylic based yarn;
• knitting needles number 2.

Measurements

Initially, it is better to knit a small sample and count the loops for your sample, even if the model is the same size as this one. Each has its own density, and the thickness of the thread may vary. This pleated fits size 42.

Rubber

Knit according to the 1*1 pattern for 20 rows. Then you will need to insert a real elastic band into this pocket so that the skirt fits well at the waist.

The basis

And finally the most interesting and intriguing part of the skirt begins - the long-awaited pleated knitting. Apply the above pattern and knit 20 repeats across a width of 26 cm. If desired, the pattern can be continued to a lower line. For example, to the knee line or create a midi skirt. But even such a shortened pleated model looks stunning.

The model is ready after the seam for the elastic is made and it is inserted into the skirt. Experiments with different colors of yarn look very nice and you can clearly see how beautifully the contrasting stripe fits in this pattern.

Pleated skirt with capes

It really is pleated, the weave is so charming. The most interesting thing is that such an interlacing is created by only two yarn overs, which are knitted without an interval, but next to each other with adjacent loops. The stripes in between are just knit stitches.

The work will require:

• children's pekhorka yarn, gray;
• knitting needles number 2.

Measurements

Be sure to measure your waist circumference, quickly knit a sample according to the fabric pattern and estimate how many loops will be needed to complete the product. There is simply no such beautiful model that would be knitted with such a simple pattern. The model can easily be considered for a beginner.

Rubber

The rib for such a beauty is done using the usual, simple and familiar stockinette stitch. For size 46 you will need to cast on 170 stitches in the round and start the stockinette stitch in the round. Knit 60 rows and move on to the main pattern. Make additions in places where the yarn overs are made. Knit like this to midi length. The pattern doesn't expand even though there are a lot of yarn overs.

Extension

The model will require an extension along the edge of the skirt and for this it will be necessary to simply add 30 cm of pleated yarn over the loop in the front stripes. So make increases after 15 rows and knit to the knee line.

So the luxurious knitted pleated skirt is ready. It didn't take much time, but what a luxurious result. Many will simply envy this skill.

Such simple and complex models can be created. A charming pleated model is waiting for your models. Therefore, we cast aside all doubts and just start casting on loops for pleated stitches.
