Free Knitting Pattern – Floral Toddler Skirt

The Florals Skirt knit pattern is a great way to create a stylish and functional piece of clothing for your little one. This pattern uses Bernat Baby Jacquards Florals yarn, a soft and lightweight yarn that comes in a variety of colors and patterns. This yarn is perfect for baby clothes, it’s easy to care for and machine washable and dryable.

This pattern is free to download on the Mary Maxim website and it’s suitable for knitters of all levels. It’s a great way to create a stylish and functional accessory for your little one that can be used for many years. Skirts are also a great gift for new parents, as they are easy to make and can be made in a variety of colors and patterns.

Last week we shared a knit pattern for Florals Baby Legwarmers, this week we have a cute tennis skirt, which can be worn with leggings. The skirt and leggings are a great combination, it’s easy to mix and match, and the floral design on both pieces add a touch of elegance and style. The skirt can be worn casually or dressed up for a special occasion, it’s a versatile piece that can be used throughout the year. So grab your needles and yarn, and let’s get started on creating this cute and stylish skirt!

Just about anything you can make in fabric you can make in knitting, but there are some styles that you just don’t see that often translated into knitting.

For example, a button down collared shirt. This is a classic design, of course, and it looks great in a knit version, but it’s just not something you see much of.

Noma Ndlovu’s Guglethu shirt is the pattern to try if you want to knit your own button down shirt. This one is inspired by cashmere tops (though the sample was made out of yak yarn, not cashmere, and uses two strands of lace weight yarn held together) and includes lots of high-fashion details like double-knit cuffs, collar and shoulder seams.

It has a patch pocket on the front and 10 buttons including the button band and the cuffs.

The designer says you can also use a DK weight yarn held singly if you’d rather, and that the shirt looks good in a variety of yarns. There is another version on Ravelry that uses Berroco Remix Light, which is a mix of nylon, cotton, acrylic, silk and cellulose fibers. It has a more relaxed look but it still really pretty.

The pattern has 12 sizes, with a full bust measurement ranging from 32.35 to 72.25 inches, or 82 to 183.5 cm. The designer suggests 2 to 6 inches, or 5 to 15 cm, of positive ease when you pick your size. I could totally see knitting one that’s even bigger to wear more like a jacket, because I do that a lot with button down shirts I already own.

I love all the details on this shirt, which isn’t necessarily difficult to knit, but might introduce you to some things you’ve never knit before (like those cuffs with the plackets, or a shirt collar like this).

To learn more about this shirt and grab a copy of the pattern for yourself, head to Ravelry.
