This summer skirt in pastel shades of pink exudes a touch of romance and retro charm and is perfect for many occasions. It’s knitted from thin cotton, is light and airy, and drapes beautifully.
The knitting pattern can be easily adapted to all sizes, including children’s sizes. The measurements shown here are based on a size 38–42.

The skirt pairs wonderfully with blouses, shirts, or tops and is always a real eye-catcher.
What makes it special: Since this skirt is knitted in the round from the top down, there are no seams.
All stitch patterns are described in detail, row by row, in the pattern, so
even beginner knitters with basic skills
can easily make the skirt themselves.
If you want to knit a set, you can use the same colors for the matching top as well. You can find it here in my shop—it’s the airy, lightweight summer top in white and pink.
The following basic skills are required:
- knit and purl stitches
- working a yarn over
- Knitting in the round
- binding off stitches
- increasing stitches from the strand between stitches
- Changing colors (for the stripes)
- Crocheting chain stitches
Many steps (including tips) are illustrated with photos in the knitting pattern.
