Knitted Long Skirt Patterns
1. Soft Horizon Skirt
The Soft Horizon Skirt by DROPS Design is a long knitted skirt worked from the top down in stocking stitch. After the waistband, work the skirt in the round and add evenly spaced increases to shape the long, flowing silhouette. Use 3.5 mm and 4.5 mm circular needles, and aim for a gauge of 17 stitches and 22 rows per 10 cm in stocking stitch with the 4.5 mm needles. The design suits knitters who are comfortable working in the round, increasing stitches, and completing basic finishing techniques.
2. Denim High Waisted Maxi Skirt
Designed by BOHLD Loom Knitting, this knitting pattern creates a simple loom-knitted skirt with a high-waisted fit and long maxi length. Work the waistband in a ribbed stitch and add an opening for a drawstring, then knit the skirt body in an easy stitch pattern before binding it off. Gather a yarn hook, yarn needle, scissors, and yarn to get started. Adjust the number of rows to create your preferred skirt length. This simple construction makes it a good choice for beginners comfortable with basic loom-knitting techniques.
3. Golden Years Skirt
DROPS Design features this knitted skirt, worked top-down in the round, with short rows and gradual increases that create a flattering shape. The skirt is worked in stocking stitch and garter stitch, with increases added at different points to shape and widen it. The pattern uses 3.5 mm and 4.5 mm circular needles and a gauge of 18 stitches and 23 rows per 10 cm in stocking stitch. It is a good project for knitters comfortable with working in the round, short rows, increases, and basic lace-like eyelet details.
4. Lana Lacey Skirt
This comfortable midi skirt features bohemian lace textures by Famke | Mipi the Label. First, knit the skirt from the top down in one piece and create the elastic waistband. Then, add increases along the sides to shape the skirt around the hips, with four hip sections available to help you choose a suitable fit. This pattern uses a knitting gauge of 15 stitches and 17 rounds per 10 cm in stockinette after blocking and a circular needle size 5 mm (US 8).
5. Seashore Skirt
Fresh and airy, this pattern by Veronika Lindberg offers a comfortable fit and suits knitters with some lace and in-the-round experience. Use 4 mm (US 6) circular needles for the skirt and 3 mm (US 2.5) circular needles for the waistband. Aim for a gauge of 21 stitches and 22 rounds per 10 cm after blocking. Work the skirt in the round and divide the design into two main sections with a decorative lace border between them. Then add a delicate frill at the hem for extra movement and texture.
6. O – The Skirt
O – The Skirt by CosyMonday is a feminine maxi skirt designed with soft knitted panels, garter stitch textures, and subtle color changes. The design is beginner-friendly and focuses on slow fashion and thoughtful use of materials you already have. With its simple construction, textured stitches, and scrap-yarn color combinations, this project offers an easy way to create a statement skirt while giving leftover yarn a new purpose. It also includes guidance for techniques such as garter stitch and I-cord.
7. Peek-A-Boo
The Peek-A-Boo Maxi Skirt by Chantal Miyagishima is a top-down knitted skirt with a flowing maxi length. It features a fitted waistband and a pretty eyelet lace section near the hem. For this project, use a circular needle size US 8 (5 mm) for the waistband and US 9 (5.5 mm) for the skirt, along with size 3 DK-weight yarn. Overall, this pattern suits advanced-beginner knitters. Basic stitches used are casting on, knitting, purling, working in the round, increasing, decreasing, and binding off.
8. High-Waisted Maxi Skirt
Luna’s Sewing Room creates a comfortable A-line skirt with a long, flowing shape. To begin, sew the simple base version with a front, back, and waistband to keep the construction straightforward. You can also wear the high waistband as is or fold it over for a different fit. For more variety, you can shorten the maxi design to a midi or mini length. Pair this high-waist skirt with shirts, tees, or high necks.
9. Oh My Skirt
Add shine to your handmade wardrobe with the Oh My Skirt by Anna Enge. This knitted skirt features an airy drop-stitch pattern, a gradual ombré effect, and a flowing shape. Use 3.5 mm (US 4) circular needles for the waistband and 7 mm (US 10.75) needles for the main pattern. Rated easy, this pattern suits knitters who are comfortable working in the round, creating yarn overs, and making increases.
10. Tove Rib Skirt
The Tove Rib Skirt by Odd Row is a long, ribbed skirt worked top-down, with gradual increases that widen the shape. Begin by knitting the stockinette waistband, folding it over, and knitting it together to form a casing for the waist elastic. Then use short rows to add extra length at the back, then continue with 1×1 rib and increase within the rib repeat to shape the skirt. Use 4.5 mm and 3.5 mm circular needles, and aim for a gauge of 20 stitches and 22 rows per 10 cm in the final rib pattern.
