Product Description

Fairies, princesses, ballerinas, there is always magic in the air with little girls. Using lace mohair in an airy gauge, the skirt is going to be light, fluffy and beautiful. With its short length and full skirt, this is a dream come true for every little ballerina. 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 includes:

  • tips on knitting with mohair,
  • tips on knitting with beads,
  • scattered stitch/bead pattern,
  • suggestions to customize the skirt (e.g add flare,…)
  • many hem options (including eyelets, ruffles and lace).

Skill level: The pattern is detailed enough to be adventurous beginner friendly, and at the some time interesting enough to capture the attention of a more advanced knitter as well.

Tutu Skirt by Monika Sirna

What Is Being Made

The Tutu is a children's skirt designed to inspire imagination and magical play. Ideal for little girls who love dancing, twirling, and dressing up, this skirt captures the enchantment of fairies, princesses, and ballet dancers. Part five of the designer's "What Dreams Are Made Of" fairy skirts series, the Tutu combines whimsical design with practical warmth and comfort for everyday wear and ballet classes.

Design and Construction

This knitted skirt is engineered to be light, fluffy, and beautiful while providing gentle warmth. The design accommodates multiple yarn choices to suit different aesthetic preferences, from airy and ethereal to polished and refined. The skirt offers customization options for adding sparkle and magic through yarn selection or embellishment techniques.

Yarn Options and Materials

The pattern provides flexibility in fiber choice to achieve different effects:

  • Lace mohair in an airy gauge for a light and fluffy appearance
  • Merino or silk/merino blend in lace weight for a polished, soft, and silky finish
  • Yarns with metallic thread or sequins for added sparkle and magical touches

The pattern uses lace and sport weight yarns, allowing crafters to select fibers that match their desired look and feel.

Knitting Techniques and Stitches

The Tutu is worked in Stockinette Stitch, the foundational knit stitch that creates a smooth, classic fabric. This stitch choice provides a clean base for showcasing yarn texture and any added embellishments.

Gauge and Needles

The pattern specifies a gauge of 19-20 stitches to 4 inches (10 cm) in Stockinette Stitch using US 6 (4 mm) needles. This moderate gauge creates a fabric with appropriate drape and structure suitable for a children's skirt.

Customization and Embellishment Options

Crafters can personalize the Tutu by adding beads while knitting or selecting yarns with integrated sparkle elements. These optional techniques allow makers to enhance the magical quality of the finished garment and tailor it to individual preferences.

Skill Level

The Tutu is rated as an intermediate knitting project, making it suitable for knitters with some experience who are comfortable with basic stitch techniques and following pattern instructions.
