Knitting For Olive | Olive's Swing Skirt Pattern & Yarn Pack
A Twirl-Ready Favourite for Every Little Wardrobe
Olive’s Swing Skirt is a charming and playful piece that’s as fun to knit as it is to wear. Made with one strand of soft Merino and worked seamlessly in the round from the top down, this skirt offers generous movement for twirling, running, and all kinds of childhood adventures.
You’ll begin with a folded waistband that holds a comfortable elastic insert, ensuring a secure fit. Gentle shaping is achieved with increases and short rows, and the hem is finished with a delicate picot edge for an extra sweet touch.
Simple, timeless, and endlessly wearable, Olive’s Swing Skirt is a must-knit for little ones who love to move in style.
