Difficulty Level

Beginner – adventurous beginner. This pattern has been professionally tech-edited and rigorously tested for clarity and precision.

What do you need to know?

To successfully execute this pattern, you should be familiar with basic knitting techniques such as knit and purl stitches, as well as making increases and decreases. The skirt is primarily worked flat, with the exception of the waistband, which is knitted in the round. However, the pattern is easily adaptable for those who prefer to work flat throughout. This makes it approachable for knitters who are eager to expand their skills.

Gauge

For perfect results, you should achieve a gauge of 19 stitches and 25 rows within a 10 x 10 cm (4 in x 4 in) square. Knit your swatch using stockinette stitch and be sure to block it thoroughly for the best results. Achieving the correct gauge is crucial for ensuring your skirt fits properly and drapes beautifully.

Construction notes

This stylish skirt is constructed from the top down, beginning at the waistband and working down to the hip. At the hip level, the pattern calls for decreases to shape the sides of the skirt, including a flattering front crossover design. To create the waistband, position the front crossover correctly and pick up the necessary stitches to finish the look. Enjoy the process of making this fashionable skirt, and revel in the compliments you'll receive on your handmade creation!

Explore the joy of knitting by crafting garments that make a statement. Whether it’s for a wedding, a dinner party, or just a casual day out, this knitted skirt is an ideal addition to your collection, proving that knitting can indeed shine in every season.
