The fashion for mini-skirts appeared in the 90s of the last century. Almost all girls and even girls raved about such skirts. Still would! They so favorably emphasized the dignity of the figure. Knitted skirt models were so popular that in a fairly short time they completely ousted their “colleagues” from the catwalks. Now fashion is back, and if you want, you can knit a mini-skirt yourself.
It is necessary
- - knitting needles No. 3, circular needles of the same thickness;
- - a needle for knitted threads;
- - tape measure;
- - yarn.
Instructions
Step 1
Decide in advance what your skirt will be: plain or with an ornament. Choose the pattern and colors of the yarn to knit. If the skirt is monochromatic, decide on its main color.
Step 2
Take measurements, you will need only three of them: waist, hips and product length.
Step 3
Calculate the loops according to your measurements. To do this, knit a small sample of 10 loops and 10 rows. Measure the number of centimeters that fit into your 10 stitches. This is the density of your knitting.
Step 4
Calculate the number of loops that match your waist measurement.
Step 5
Cast on the straight knitting needles the required number of loops. Knit one row with knit stitches.
Step 6
Take circular knitting needles. Knit the second row with purl loops, passing the loops onto the circular needles. Connect the last loop to the first.
Step 7
Purl 2 centimeters and change to knit stitches. This will create a cuff in the waistband for threading the elastic. Then continue knitting with knit stitches.
Step 8
Knit the skirt in a circle with a basic pattern. Best of all, if it is a stocking stitch, consisting of front loops on the front side. Place knitting from top to bottom, i.e. from the waist to the bottom.
Step 9
At a height of 18–20 centimeters, add evenly the number of loops that does not reach the desired one, according to the measurement of the hip girth.
Step 10
At a height of 40-45 centimeters (depending on the length of the finished product), change the front loops to the wrong ones again. This will shape the hem of the bottom of the skirt. Purl 2 centimeters and bind off.
Step 11
Moisten the skirt with water and let dry so that the product shrinks as needed.
Step 12
Pull the elastic into the hem of the belt, iron the bottom edge gently.
