I really want the little girl to look like a princess. And the best outfit for a princess is, of course, a dress. Tie a light openwork dress with your own hands.
Necessary
300 - 500 grams of yarn, crochet hook
Instructions
Step 1
Choose a yarn. It should be thin, with a lot of acrylic, so that the baby is not hot. Do not be alarmed by the fact that synthetics are included in the yarn. It will help the fabric not to stretch and spoil the look of your dress. When choosing a yarn, place it on a sensitive spot and hold it for a while, checking if it is prickly.
Step 2
Read the yarn label carefully. It indicates what size knitting needles or hook are needed to work with this material. Using the wrong knitting equipment can lead to difficulty in working, as well as the fact that your pattern will be too loose or, conversely, crumpled.
Step 3
Prepare a pattern. Taking measurements from a small child is quite problematic, so you can simply open his old unnecessary thing and transfer it to paper in detail. When knitting, constantly check the pattern.
Step 4
Select a drawing. Then calculate how many stitches you need to cast. If the child is very young, cast on 100-120 loops and make a ring out of them. Knit three stitches, then a column, three more stitches and a double crochet. After knitting a circle, go to the next row. To do this, type three air loops and secure them with a column. In the next row, alternate - in those places where there was a regular column in the first row, knit a double crochet and vice versa. You will get a fairly simple, but effective looping pattern.
Step 5
When you reach the armholes of the sleeves, divide the knitting into two parts. Tie the back and breast. Once tied to the coat hanger, leave it open. Children have a large head compared to the whole body, so it is extremely difficult to dress the child over the head, it is better to make strings on the shoulders or sew on buttons.
Step 6
Decorate the dress with knitted flowers. To do this, dial 10 air loops and make a ring out of them. Knit a row with a double crochet. In the next row, knit 5 stitches and fasten them in every fourth stanchion. Then tie the resulting loops, making petals out of them. Start knitting 2 stitches with one crochet, then two with two, two with three, then again two with two crochets and two with one crochet. This will create a semicircular petal. Tie all the loops in this way. The core of the flower can be embroidered with a different light.
