Sirdar Mic Drop Maxi & Crop Top
What is Being Made
This downloadable knitting pattern from Sirdar includes two coordinating garments: a crop top and a maxi skirt. Both pieces are designed to be worn together as a complete set, offering versatility for summer styling. The pattern is available in UK sizes 6–28 (US sizes 2–24), making it accessible to a wide range of body types.
Craft & Techniques
This is a knitting project rated at intermediate difficulty level. The pattern uses double knitting as the primary construction method, which creates a fabric with good structure and drape suitable for both fitted tops and flowing skirts. The design incorporates crochet-inspired details, reflecting current fashion trends while remaining accessible to knitters seeking the crochet aesthetic without requiring crochet skills.
Stitches & Construction
While specific stitch names are not detailed in the pattern excerpt, the double knitting technique forms the foundation of this design. The pattern instructions guide knitters through shaping for the crop top's fitted silhouette and the skirt's relaxed, maxi-length proportions. Sirdar patterns are triple-checked for accuracy and success when using recommended Sirdar yarns.
Materials: Yarn & Needles
This pattern calls for Sirdar Stories Double Knitting (DK) yarn, a cotton-rich acrylic blend in 50g balls. This fiber composition creates cool, comfortable garments ideal for summer while maintaining shape retention through wear and washing.
- Crop Top: Requires 2–3 balls of Yarn A (shade 816 Carnival) and 1–2 balls of Yarn B, depending on size
- Maxi Skirt: Requires 5–8 balls of Yarn A and 4–6 balls of Yarn B, depending on size
Specific needle sizes are referenced on the pattern's back pages. The pattern also suggests alternative Sirdar Stories shades including 804 Celebrate, 810 Spicy, and 819 Pool Party for color customization.
Design Details
The crop top features a fitted design with a full length ranging from 15–19 inches depending on size, and chest measurements from 32/34 inches to 52/54 inches. The maxi skirt maintains a consistent 37½-inch length across all sizes, with widths ranging from 31½ inches to 52 inches. Both pieces are designed to work together as a coordinated Festival-inspired set, celebrating contemporary knitting fashion with a nod to crochet styling.
