It is necessary
Yarn, knitting needles, or crochet
Instructions
Step 1
Choose a yarn containing elastane and polyester. This is necessary so that the dress at the same time fits the figure well, stretches and regains its shape in the process of movement. For a summer airy light dress, cotton yarn with additives is suitable. Use a wool blend or woolen yarn and knitting needles if you want to knit a warm winter dress. Knitting with knitting needles is denser, and it is on them that maximum elasticity is ensured when knitting with an elastic band for clothes that perfectly fit the figure. If you crochet, choose fluffy mohair for your yarn, this will allow you to create unusual patterns. Wash yarn in warm water before knitting. This will provide a consistent shape to the finished product.
Step 2
Using the pattern samples, calculate the number of loops and rows per 1 centimeter of the pattern.
Step 3
Take a tunic pattern as a basis. It is ideal for you, as it knits in a straight line and the only difficulty can be caused by the neck and armholes. Take measurements of the figure with a measuring tape along the hips, determine the length of the product and adjust the pattern if necessary.
Step 4
Start knitting with a simple elastic band 5-8 centimeters, then stocking, if you chose knitting needles, or according to the chosen pattern for crocheting. Remember to constantly try on the dress. To do this, attach connected parts to the pattern elements. After tying even panels to the level of the armhole, reduce the loops according to the pattern. Knit the neck of the product. If the model has sleeves, tie them according to the pattern.
Step 5
Iron the knitted elements with a not very hot steam iron and let dry in natural conditions, sew by hand with the rest of the threads. The work has been completed.
