A skirt is an invariable attribute of a woman’s outfit. It makes the female figure more graceful, adds grace and tenderness. For the cold season, there are many options for sewing this item. But with the help of knitting you can get a much warmer and more comfortable analogue. Among the variety of different variations, every craftswoman will find a job to her taste and strength. Knitted winter clothes will help you endure frosty days.

What you need for knitting

In order to get started, you need to do some preparation. The course of the manufacturing process and the final result will depend on how well and correctly you do this.

Preparation includes the following steps.

• Taking measurements and creating a pattern.
• Model selection.
• Purchasing suitable yarn and tools.
• Knitting a sample pattern and calculating the future fabric.

What measurements are needed

Before you start knitting, you need to create a pattern. And for this you need to know the following indicators.

• Waist circumference. It is measured along the belt line.
• Hip volume. In this measurement, the tailor's yardstick should pass through the widest point of the hips and buttocks;
• Length of the product. It is measured in the center of the back, from the waist, to the required point.

Then, based on the results obtained, a pattern is constructed.

Attention! When creating a pattern, add 1.5 cm on both sides for a loose fit.

Yarn selection and calculation

After you decide on the model and create a pattern, you should choose the material for making this item. Since this item is intended for the cold season, it is better to choose warm yarn.

• Wool and wool mixture. This is a natural fiber most popular. It has a lot of positive qualities: naturalness, resistance to creasing, strength and elasticity. The disadvantages include the tendency to stall.
• Alpaca has lighter weight. Clothes made from it stay clean longer and have an attractive appearance. But its main advantage is that it no lumps are formed.
• Mohair is different special softness and provides excellent protection from frosty air. Wherein products made from it are distinguished by their tenderness and airiness.
• Angora also warm, light and soft. But things made from it do not withstand washing well, ideally only dry cleaning is suitable. Due to its characteristics, the thread is difficult to work with.

Reference! Another option for knitting a skirt for the winter is high-quality acrylic.

This synthetic fabric also protects well from the cold and is very comfortable to work with. But the most attractive thing about it is the price. She is very democratic.

What knitting needles to use

Another step will be choosing the right tool. For work, an important criterion will be the size of the knitting needles. It can be defined in two ways.

• First: read the information on the label. Manufacturers indicate the recommended tool number on each skein.
• Second: consists of comparing the thread folded in half with the thickness of the knitting needle. These parameters must be equal.

An additional criterion is the material from which the tool is made. It is selected individually by the craftswoman. Today, knitting needles are made from the following substances:

• metal;
• bone;
• plastic;
• tree.

Important! Before use, wipe the tool with a soft cloth. This will make it easier for the stitches to slide along the knitting needle.

Knitting a winter skirt

• Maxi: product length from ankle to floor.

The maximum width of the skirt is called the “sun”. Next, in order of decreasing width, there is a “half sun”, a straight line, and a “pencil”. There are also many varieties that combine these types. Let's take a closer look at how to link some variations.
