Children whose mothers and grandmothers know how to do needlework are real lucky ones, because they can wear beautiful clothes, created by caring people, with loving hands. Besides, no one else in the world has such things. Hand-sewn and knitted items are also a budget-friendly way to update a child’s wardrobe.
In today's article we will tell you how to crochet a skirt for a girl. An openwork skirt will be a wonderful summer gift for your little fashionista. We will introduce you to various ways of knitting children's skirts, and also give you some recommendations on how and with what it is best to wear such things.
Knitting popular patterns
To create light, summer skirts with intricate patterns, a crochet hook is more suitable. It is better to leave knitting needles for thicker, winter items - warm dresses, sweaters, etc. We invite you to get acquainted with two interesting models of skirts for girls that can be crocheted. Knitting patterns are quite simple, so even a novice needlewoman can master them.
Zigzag
“Zigzag” is one of the most beautiful and popular patterns in the crochet technique. It looks especially impressive when knitted from threads different colors Therefore, to create this model, it is recommended to use yarn of several shades.
To knit a skirt with a zigzag pattern for a girl of primary school age you will need:
- several skeins of bright thread (it is better to choose 100% cotton);
- hook No. 1;
- scissors;
- pin for marking rows.
To determine the required amount of yarn, we recommend that you first knit a small sample - this way you can understand how many threads are used for a given pattern and approximately calculate the required number of skeins. Then you can start directly working on the skirt.
In the instructions for creating the pattern, we used the following abbreviations:
- “VP” – air loop;
- “Runway” – air lift loop;
- “Dc” – double crochet;
- “SS2N” – double crochet stitch;
- “SBN” – single crochet;
- “SS” – connecting post.
We knit the product in the round, moving from bottom to top. The number of stitches in the cast-on row should be divisible by 17.
I row: 3 runways, 4 dc with one vertex, (5 dc, 5 dc with a common base, 5 dc, 5 dc with one vertex), repeat the points in brackets, finish row 1 dc;
II row: 1 runway, then knit sc to the end of the row, finishing row 1 SS.
Next, we knit each odd row as I, and each even row as II. Every 2 rows we change the color of the threads. Having knitted 18 rows, the next row needs to be knitted, making decreases, since here we will begin to form the waist for the skirt. We make decreases like this: instead of 5 dcs with a common base, we knit 3 dcs with a common base. Then we knit 1 dc instead of 3 dc with yarn of a different shade. We decrease the loops along the edges, one on each side. Next, we knit one row of dc in the round. The next row is RLS. Then repeat the last two rows five times. Finally, we knit 5 rows of sc in the round. We fasten the thread, hide the tail and cut it.
A zigzag knitted skirt for a girl is ready!
Tiered skirt
Your little princess will definitely love this fluffy, lace, crocheted skirt. To make the skirt voluminous, we suggest you knit several tiers of frills. To work you will need thin cotton threads and a hook No. 1.5. If you wish, you can knit a plain or multi-colored skirt. In the latter case, you will need yarn in 2 or 4 different shades. In addition to the hook and thread, you will need a thin elastic band to match - with its help we can make the waistband of the product more elastic. The knitting pattern we present below is designed for a skirt for a 4 or 5 year old child.
The skirt belt will be knitted using the fillet lace technique. We cast on 18 VP, then knit a dc and close the row into a ring. Next we knit: 1 dc, 2 ch to the end of the row. In every 8th loop we knit an increase according to the pattern: Dc, 2 ch, dc. How fluffy the skirt will be depends on how many increments you make. We knit 16 rows in this way. After completing work on fillet mesh Without breaking the thread, we proceed to creating the first tier of the skirt.
I row: 3 runway, 2 dc from the same base, (2 ch, skip 2 loops, 5 dc), continue knitting points in brackets, complete the row with 2 dc, which we knit into the first loop of the row, then knit 1 dc into the third runway.
II row: 3 VP, 2 VP, 1 Dc from the same base, 2 Dc, (3 VP, 2 Dc in the next two Dcs, go to the third of the five Dcs of the previous row and knit a Dc, VP, Dc into it, then knit into the next Dcs 1 dc each), repeat the items in brackets until the end of the row, completing row 2 dc and dc.
III row: 4 runways (in an arch of 2 VPs we knit 3 СС2Н, 2 VP, 3 СС2Н, then in an arch of 2 VP we knit 1 RLS, we skip the next 2 SSNs, in the third SSN we knit 1 СС2Н), repeat the points in brackets until the end of the row, we complete Row 3 SS.
IV row:(2 СС2Н, in an arch of 2 VP we knit 3 СС2Н, 2 VP, 3 СС2Н, then we knit 2 СС2Н, skip 5 loops), we repeat the points in brackets until the end of the row, we complete the row 2 СС.
V row:(3 СС2Н, in an arch of 2 VP we knit 3 СС2Н, 2 VP, 3 СС2Н, then we knit 3 СС2Н, skip 4 loops), we repeat the points in brackets until the end of the row, we complete row 1 СС.
VI row:(3 СС2Н in an arch of 2 VP we knit 2 СС2Н, 5 VP, 2 СС2Н, then we knit 2 VP), we repeat the points in brackets until the end of the row, we replace the 1st СС2Н with 4 VP, we complete the row 3 СС.
VII row:(1 runway, knit picot 4 times + 2 sc, 1 sc, skip 5 ch), repeat points in brackets until the end of the row, complete row 1 SS.
We knit the second tier of the skirt in the same way in the 1st row of fillet lace, and the third tier in the 8th row.
A multi-tiered children's skirt can be decorated at the waist with a wide satin ribbon. For the ribbon we knit beautiful openwork harnesses.
The first seven rows consist of 3 dc each. Then you need to knit these rows, moving from left to right. The posts and lifting loops in this case will represent arches for knitting. We tie the rows like this: 3 runways, 3 dc, 1 sc in the side loop of the sixth row, 6 sc in the side loop of the fifth row, 1 sc in the side loop of the fourth row, 6 sc in the base of the column of the third row, 1 sc in the second row, 3 dc in the first row. In the end part we knit 6 dc, then move to the side part. We knit 3 dc, 1 sc, 6 dc, 1 sc, 6 dc, 1 sc, 3 dc, and in the upper part we knit 5 dc. We finish knitting 1 SS in the third PP.
An irreplaceable item in the wardrobe of a modern fashionista - depending on what patterns you use for a knitted skirt - can be openwork and light, ideal for summer, or thick and warm - for the cold season. It can be long or short, fitting the shape of the hips and legs, or fluffy, with flounces and frills, pleated and embossed patterns.
Before you start knitting a skirt, you should decide for what time of year and for what occasion you will need this ultra-fashionable wardrobe item. Having decided what style your product will be, you should think about choosing the knitting density, which is determined by the patterns for the knitted skirt.
Note that this particular wardrobe detail does not require particularly advanced skills and abilities from the needlewoman. All you need to construct and knit a skirt of your own choosing are pattern charts and a pattern that is constructed according to your body proportions.
Crochet - patterns for a knitted skirt: some useful tips for knitters
- It is best to knit a skirt in the round. knitting direction - top to bottom. Remember that the width of the waistband of your knitted skirt should be equal to the circumference of your hips. Why is it better to knit a skirt from top to bottom? Firstly, it’s easier to measure it while working on the product. Also, when knitting from top to bottom, it is easier to add increases - if you want a flared model. Also, when knitting a skirt from top to bottom, it is easier to determine the length of the product. You can also knit a skirt in two parts - in the round from the hip line up, and in the round from the hip line down. Or the yoke (skirt waistband) is knitted separately (in the round), and the hem of the skirt is knitted down.
2. For the yoke, cast on a number of loops equal to the circumference of your hips. To ensure that the cord is held securely, you can pass a cord from air loops or decorative strap.
3. Calculate the number of loops for the skirt so that there is 1-2 cm of margin around the circumference of the hips. This is necessary in order to minimize deformation and stretching of the skirt during wearing.
4. If you have any doubts about the need to sew a sheath petticoat, feel free to dismiss them. A cover made of lining, slightly slippery fabric is needed in any case. For warm skirts, this could be a silk underskirt, and for summer ones, a thin one. cotton fabric. The underskirt is sewn to the knitted upper skirt. For reliability, you can sew the underskirt to the top and along the bottom - in two places.
5. If you have chosen openwork patterns for a knitted skirt as your option, then the hem should be made a little shorter than your desired length due to the fact that under the weight of the fabric it usually stretches at the bottom when worn.
6. Patterns for a knitted skirt can be different - that is, you can and even need to combine different crochet patterns. Thus, the yoke and part of the hem in the area of the hips and buttocks are usually knitted in a dense and not loose pattern. This will help you avoid excessive show-through. I recommend using dense, not loose patterns – and not in order to avoid unnecessary “shimmer through”. You can also start crocheting the upper, denser part of the skirt with a smaller number. However, you will then have to cast on more loops. Then we switch to a larger hook and thus achieve a natural flare of the skirt from the hip line.
Hook - patterns for a knitted skirt: patterns
Knitted clothes are always fashionable, stylish, and individual. A modern range of yarn and accessories allows you to create original products to suit your taste, which you will not see on another person. Hand knitting takes into account the features and parameters of the figure, making it possible to choose the desired color and style.
One of these wardrobe items that enjoys constant success among women is a knitted skirt. It can be either summer or winter. Children's models attract attention with their bright colors or their combination, interesting patterns. And on women, a long floor-length skirt made with openwork patterns looks especially impressive. It is recommended to crochet it.
What’s so special about this painting:
- it does not wrinkle and retains its appearance for a long time;
- stretches moderately and fits well;
- depending on the thickness of the thread and the density of the knitting, it can be either thin or warm;
- Universally suitable for all women in various situations, if you choose the right style of the product.
A crochet skirt is the perfect summer outfit. Moreover, you can choose a scheme for the beach and relaxation, as well as for an everyday or formal look. Lace patterns can be effectively emphasized with a lining of a harmonizing or contrasting shade. And if you prepare several petticoats of different colors and textures, then the same skirt will become the basis for numerous ensembles.

It should be taken into account that the canvas crocheted, 2 times thicker than knitting from a similar thread. Therefore, you should give preference to yarn of small and medium thickness, and also knit a small control sample before starting work in order to evaluate the actual pattern of the product and calculate the number of loops.
You can influence the density of the product by selecting a tool. Yarn labels usually indicate the recommended hook size. If you take a larger number, the fabric will be looser; if you take a smaller number, it will be denser.
The composition of the yarn also matters for a knitted skirt. For summer models, it is better to choose a natural composition, for example, 100% cotton or linen. Mixed options (for example, cotton with viscose or with the addition of silk) will give the product shine and a flowing effect. Wool blend yarn with the addition of acrylic is suitable for knitting thick, warm skirts. However, such a thing may stretch a little under its own weight over time.
