Product Description
Fairies, princesses, ballerinas, there is always magic in the air with little girls. Perpetually dancing, twirling and dressing up, here is the fairy skirt you always wanted to make.
Using lace mohair in an airy gauge, the skirt is going to be light, fluffy and beautiful. However, if you prefer a polished, soft and silky look, you may want to choose a merino or silk/merino blend in fingering or lace weight. And of course, there are options for sparkles! By choosing a yarn with metallic thread or sequins, or by adding beads while knitting, you will add the right touch to the magic!
The pattern include:
- tips on knitting with mohair
- tips on knitting with beads
- suggestions to customize the skirt (e.g add flair,…)
- several hem options
- waist shaping (optional)
Skill level: The pattern is detailed enough to be adventurous beginner friendly, and at the some time interesting enough to capture attention of a more advanced knitter as well.
Princess Me Skirt by Monika Sirna
What Is Being Made
Princess Me is a knitted skirt designed for children, inspired by ballet classes and fairy tale fantasy play. This garment is part three of Monika Sirna's fairy skirts series titled "What Dreams Are Made Of." The skirt combines whimsical design with practical warmth, making it suitable for both imaginative dress-up occasions and actual ballet instruction.
Yarn and Material Options
The pattern offers flexibility in yarn selection to achieve different aesthetic and tactile effects. The primary recommendation features lace mohair worked at an airy gauge, which creates a light, fluffy, and beautiful fabric while providing warmth. Alternative yarn choices include merino or silk/merino blends in fingering or lace weight for a more polished, soft, and silky appearance. For added sparkle and magic, the designer suggests selecting yarns with metallic thread or sequins, or incorporating beads during the knitting process to enhance the enchanted quality of the finished skirt.
Knitting Techniques and Stitches
Princess Me employs lace knitting techniques appropriate for intermediate-level knitters. The pattern specifies a gauge of 19-20 stitches to 4 inches (10 cm), which is typical for lace and sport weight yarns. The use of lace stitchwork creates the airy, delicate quality characteristic of the design, allowing the yarn choice to significantly influence the final appearance and drape of the skirt.
Difficulty Level
This project is rated as intermediate difficulty, making it suitable for knitters with foundational skills who are ready to work with lace patterns and manage the construction of a fitted garment.
Pattern Format
Princess Me is available as a downloadable PDF pattern, allowing immediate access to the complete instructions and sizing information.
