A knitted skirt, knitted with your own hands, will warm you on cold winter days, and if you knit a skirt made of thin cotton yarn, it will become indispensable in the heat. In any case, all your efforts will not be wasted.
It is necessary
- - 300 - 600 g of yarn;
- - circular knitting needles.
Instructions
Step 1
For knitting a warm skirt, choose a yarn with a high content of acrylic, as it is least susceptible to deformation, and for summer models, cotton yarn, such as "Iris", is best suited.
Step 2
The skeins usually indicate which number of knitting needles is suitable for knitting, but note that if you knit thin yarn on thick knitting needles, the fabric will turn out to be looser. This method is suitable for openwork knitting. If you knit thick yarn with thin knitting needles, then the fabric will turn out to be dense. This method is suitable for knitting warm skirts of a straight silhouette.
Step 3
The yarn consumption is usually indicated in the technical description of the model, however, you should pay attention to both the thickness of the yarn and the length of the thread in the skein, since the yarn you choose may differ slightly from the one used to knit the model.
Step 4
Before you start knitting a skirt, be sure to make a pattern. To do this, cast on 20 loops and knit about 20 rows. Next, measure its length and width. Divide the width by the number of loops and the length by the number of rows. This will give you the number of stitches and rows in one centimeter. Check your calculations against the model description.
Step 5
Skirts are usually knitted in a circle without seams. You can start knitting both from the bottom edge of the product and from the belt.
Step 6
Start knitting a skirt of a straight silhouette from the bottom. Measure the circumference of your hips and calculate the number of loops for the first set of rows, for this, multiply the measurement by the number of loops in one centimeter.
Step 7
Cast on two knitting needles the required number of loops, as you knit the first row, distribute them to four knitting needles and close the knitting in a circle. You can also knit on circular knitting needles. Next, knit with a basic pattern to the hip line. After that, make the necessary reductions, periodically trying on the skirt. Tie the belt with a 1x1 elastic band with a denser knit. To do this, change the knitting needles to thinner ones.
Step 8
It is better to start knitting flared skirts from the waist. In addition, you should make a paper pattern of the product, which will allow you to make the necessary increases. Such models are also knitted round or made with two seams, and the fabric is knitted on two knitting needles.
