Rydberg Skirt

Introducing the Rydberg Skirt, a charming and versatile knitting pattern designed to be knit entirely in the round. This easy-to-follow pattern offers the perfect opportunity for knitters of all levels to create a beautiful A-line skirt that can be easily adjusted in length to suit your personal style and preferences.

The Rydberg Skirt features a simple knitted waist that eliminates the need for sewing, ensuring a clean finish and making it a quick project to complete. With its A-line shape, this skirt provides a comfortable fit and flattering silhouette that works wonderfully for any occasion—whether it's a summer day or a cozy winter gathering.

For this project, I used three colors, but feel free to get creative! This skirt would look stunning with just two colors or any combination of colorful yarns you prefer. When selecting yarn, consider using cotton for a lightweight, breathable summer skirt or wool for a warm, cozy winter version that’s perfect for colder months.

This pattern is designed for worsted weight yarn (10 ply, 9 wpi), making it accessible and enjoyable to work with. The recommended gauge is 18 stitches per 4 inches, and you will need a US size 7 (4.5 mm) knitting needle to create your Rydberg Skirt. Depending on the size you choose to knit, the required yardage typically ranges from 120 to 600 yards (110 to 549 m), allowing for plenty of creativity in your color choices.

The Rydberg Skirt pattern is available in a variety of sizes to fit little ones from Newborn (0-3 months) up to 10 years (9-10 years). This makes it an excellent choice for gifts or for creating matching skirts for siblings. With its easy adjustments, you can ensure the perfect fit as your child grows.

Embrace your inner creativity and enjoy the satisfaction of making your very own Rydberg Skirt! Whether you opt for a whimsical color palette or a classic two-tone design, this pattern is sure to become a favorite in your knitting repertoire. For more information and to view the pattern, visit here.
