A beautiful sundress, knitted by a mother or grandmother, will definitely appeal to a little princess and will become a source of pride and bragging in front of her girlfriends in kindergarten or on the playground. It can be knitted from cotton yarn, and then it will become an indispensable item in the summer wardrobe of a fashionista. And if you knit a sundress from woolen yarn, then it will warm the girl on cool autumn days.
It is necessary
- - 300-350 g of yarn;
- - hook number 2-3, 5.
Instructions
Step 1
Measure the girl's chest circumference, back length to waist and skirt length. These three measurements will be sufficient.
Step 2
Tie a swatch to determine the knit tightness. Divide the number of loops in the sample by the number of centimeters you get. Thus, you will know the number of loops in one centimeter. Multiply the bust by the resulting value - there should be so many stitches in the chain to start knitting. For example, a girl's chest circumference is 63 cm, and the knitting density is two loops in one cm. Therefore, you need to knit a chain of 126 chain loops. In order not to try on a detail (children really do not like to measure anything), you can make a pattern out of paper, to which you will then apply a knitted fabric.
Step 3
The thinner the yarn from which you are going to knit a sundress, the thinner the hook should be. Usually yarn manufacturers indicate the recommended hook number on the label.
Step 4
So cast 126 stitches and close them in a circle. Knit in a circular pattern according to the pattern to the required size.
Step 5
To knit a skirt, type loops along the edge of the bodice and knit with a fancy pattern, the more delicate the pattern is, the more beautiful the sundress will turn out.
Step 6
Type on the back the number of loops for the desired strap width. The wider the straps, the more loops you need to dial. Knit them a little more than the required length, so you can adjust their length and do not have to pull on a sundress when the child grows up, it will only be enough to alter the button.
Step 7
The straps can be made from a satin ribbon to match the sundress. Sew two pieces of tape on the front and back. It is convenient to put on such a sundress by tying ribbons on the shoulders. You can also insert a satin ribbon around your waist and tie a cute bow.
Step 8
Moisten the finished product, lay it out on a smooth and even surface, such as a table or washing machine, and let dry. Ironing it is not worth it.
Step 9
Decorate the sundress with bright crochet flowers. Complete the outfit with a hat or panama with the same decor. You will get a cute kit, and the girl will not go unnoticed.
