Knitted summer dress
An openwork summer dress is a very versatile thing in your wardrobe. After all, such dresses can become indispensable even in winter, the main thing is to combine it with a suitable jumper. But the benefits of the versatility of summer dress crochet in the summer, you can talk endlessly. For example, such a dress can be simply indispensable for a trip to the beach or even a solemn event, work, adding the image of the appropriate jewelry. By the way, such a dress is simply indispensable for a romantic dinner or a date with a loved one. Plus, this outfit can perfectly complement any collection of clothes and fit into any style of clothing.
As a rule, a summer gentle dress always looks exclusive. Especially if you crochet it yourself. We all know that knitting is a creative process that can not only calm down, but also perfectly develop the attention and coordination of the movement. In other words, this is not only a hobby, but also a great way to replenish your wardrobe. When you knit a dress with crochet or knitting needles, in both cases you have your own special advantages. But it is worth noting the fact that the dress crocheted will always look much more tender. You only need a choice of style, cut, pattern, texture and color of the dress.
It will be interesting to learn that in this season (as in the previous one), knitted dresses with lace, bound from a white cotton thread, are extremely important.
Summer dress crochet: knitting technique
To create an original summer dress with a hook, we need 350-400 grams of white cotton yarn and a hook.
Initially, we take measurements: chest girth, waist, length of dress, depth of floodplain of sleeves. Based on these indicators, we make a pattern-base, to which we will apply a knitted fabric, to make the necessary increases or decreases.
We begin work by removing the dense part of the hem. From the air loops we dial a chain, which should be equal to the girth of the hips. Do not forget to add five centimeters for a free fit. We close the chain around and knit the columns with a crochet around the skirt of the skirt. We should have about forty rows, but you can tie a dense part of the length you want.
It will be nice to look at the bottom of the skirt, tied with a lace border. Here you can apply any fantasy pattern: "flowers", "half-flowers", "pineapples", etc. Enough of one or two motifs in length.
"Half-weave" we knit "bundle" from the last loop, which completes a row of dense part of the skirt. We collect six air loops and in the same loop of the previous row we knit three columns with two nakidami and between them two air loops. Then we knit a chain consisting of five air loops, passing the six loops of the previous row, in the seventh loop, tying the same "bundle" mentioned above. We go to such a technique to the end.
In the next row we make "petals". In each of the chains of the two air loops we sew without a crochet a column, three bars with a crochet and a column without a crochet. We connect the "petals" with a chain of three air loops.
After the skirt, go to the top. We knit 8-10 rows in a circle. Then we knit with straight and reverse rows, leaving a place for fastening. We gradually reduce, narrowing the rows to the size of the waist circumference. Now we sew another 8 rows, without diminishing, and after expanding the canvas with the help of increments to the measure of chest circumference. We knit to armhole armhole. Now we knit in front of the dresses, dividing the canvas into 2 halves, do not forget to form a neckline.
At the final stage we knit ties and sew a hook or clasp with a fastener or zipper. Columns without a crochet we tie the edge of the throat bump. The dress should be slightly moistened and dried on a horizontal surface, then steam off with an iron through a pair of layers of gauze.
