This skirt pattern is for a highwaisted A-line skirt with an elastic waistband. It is designed to hit about mid thigh in length, but this is easily customizeable. The pattern is #sizeinclusive and fits waists from 22-60 inches.
Sizes offered: 22 (24, 26, 28) {30, 32, 34} (36, 38, 40) {42, 44, 46} (48, 50, 52) {54, 56, 58, 60}
these sizes reflect the waistband measurement
Sizes 46” and up are untested as of now. If you are interested in knitting this pattern in any of the untested sizes, I will gift the pattern to you in return for feedback of the pattern and fit
REQUIRED: a length of 1 inch elastic to match your waist measurement. You will need the elastic to be either your exact waist measurement (comfortable fit) or approx. 1 inch less than your waist measurement (slightly snug fit). You will need to be able to sew the elastic ends together either with a sewing machine or hand sewn with a needle and thread.
make sure you get elastic that is nice and stretchy! You will need it to be able to stretch over your hips to get the skirt on. I have a waist-hip difference of 11 inches and had no problem stretching it over my hips.
Needles required: 5.5 mm (need a cord length close to your waist measurement, and one about double in length for once you’ve done a bunch of the increases)
may need other size needles to meet gauge
Gauge: 18 sts = 4 inches 22 rows = 4 inches
Yarn required: a dk or light worsted weight yarn ( I used Lion Brand Jeans, which is nice and lightweight!)
Just make sure that you can get gauge!
Yardage required: 555 (580, 610, 650) {740, 775, 800} (850, 950, 1000) {1030, 1070, 1130} (1170, 1200, 1250) {1350, 1380, 1410, 1450}
yardage is an approximation and is calculated using the recommended length. Allow for extra yardage if choosing to add length
Recommended length: 16 (16, 16, 16) {17, 17, 17} (17, 18, 18) {18, 18, 19} (19, 19, 19) {20, 20, 20, 20} inches from waistband to bottom hem.
I know that length is totally a preference thing, so these are just rough guidelines so that I had something to calculate yardage for. I made size 28” waist with a length of 17” and that hit me mid thigh. I just sort of extrapolated to get a similar fit for the other sizes, but obviously height and length preference will vary greatly. Please message me if you want to do it in a length that is different and I can help calculate yardage!
