A masquerade dress carefully made with your own hands always looks more original and more comfortable than any, even the most expensive, factory model. To create a truly unique thing, you don't have to be an experienced needlewoman. First, try knitting a simple baby bee costume for the Christmas tree. It will consist of a vest (short or elongated) and a hat.
It is necessary
- - Shaped yarn of dark brown and orange color;
- - two knitting needles;
- - iron with steam function;
- - gauze;
- - a needle for making connecting seams;
- - applique or other decorative elements at will
Instructions
Step 1
Choose the right fancy (or other spectacular) yarn - the final result of your work will largely depend on its structure and aesthetic qualities. The knitted fabric should be fluffy, elastic, soft and pleasant to the touch - the knitted suit will be put on on a thin cotton T-shirt, the baby should feel comfortable. For knitting a fancy dress from threads of a complex structure, choose knitting needles of a large size (from No. 3-3, 5 and more).
Step 2
Tie a short sleeveless jacket for a boy or a long (sleeveless tunic) for a girl. Calculate the knitting density and cast on the required number of stitches per knitting needles. Start work from the back, performing garter stitch (in all rows - only front loops). To get a New Year's costume, decorated with wide stripes 5-6 cm wide, alternate dark brown and orange working threads.
Step 3
Make a straight fabric to the beginning of the armholes of the sleeves; at the same time, individually adjust the required length of the future fancy dress. For armholes, you need to close at the beginning of the front row (and then at the beginning of the next purl) ten loops.
Step 4
Once the armholes are finished, continue to knit the striped brown-orange back to the beginning of the neckline. The last 5-6 cm of the part must be trimmed with 1x1 elastic and close the loops in the purl row. A knitted suit will look more complete if the colors of the bottom of the fabric and the neckline match.
Step 5
Knit the front of the bee's New Year's outfit exactly according to the pattern of the finished back of the product. Please note that the boundaries of the alternating colored stripes on both parts must match.
Step 6
Iron the finished back and front of the bee suit through a piece of damp gauze. Carefully sew the joining seams at the shoulders so that there is a large, horizontal neckline.
Step 7
Cast on loops, starting from the corner of the armhole of the back of the product, along the entire length and until the end of the armhole of the front. Tie a 1x1 elastic - it should form a single piece with the neckline of the New Year's costume.
Step 8
Get started on your orange yarn headdress. Along the line of the forehead, measure the circumference of the head with a centimeter and calculate the required number of loops, based on your knitting density. It is recommended to knit a "bee" hat with a 2x2 elastic band. Work until the top begins to round off, while specifying the desired size of the product individually.
Step 9
Begin to round off the top of the cap in the front rows: knit two loops together every 10; 8; 6; 4; 2 loops until only a few loops remain on the working knitting needles. Tighten them with thread and sew the back seam of the knitted headdress. If you wish, you can decorate it before the applique with the image of a bee, or even make a hat from fabric and sew ears (stuffed with padding polyester) with pompons at the ends to it.
Step 10
You just have to choose orange or brown monochromatic tights and orange slippers with a fixing elastic band for the knitted bee suit.
