Knitting For Olive | Olive's Baby Swing Skirt Pattern & Yarn Pack
The Sweetest Skirt with Built-In Bloomer Comfort
Designed with babies in mind, Olive’s Baby Swing Skirt is an adorable and practical knit that combines playful style with everyday ease. This short, flared skirt is perfect for twirling toes and crawling adventures, thanks to its built-in bloomers that act as a soft and secure diaper cover.
Worked in stockinette stitch with one strand of Merino, this pattern is knit from the bottom up—starting with the skirt and finishing with the bloomers. The two sections are then joined at the waist with a folded waistband that neatly holds an elastic insert for a snug fit. A delicate picot edge finishes off the skirt hem with a gentle flourish.
Both cute and clever, Olive’s Baby Swing Skirt keeps everything in place while giving your little one the freedom to move in comfort and style.
