Moms probably look after their children's wardrobesmore carefully than their own. And if this is a little fashionista's wardrobe, then any parent enthusiastically engages in its constant replenishment and renewal. And our subconscious and irrepressible desire to play with dolls is to blame for everything, which never goes away and in no woman (what can you do, this is one of the archetypes!). That is why we not only buy children's clothes, but also make new outfits with pleasure and self-forgetfulness. And often the desire to knit a dress for a girl with knitting needles or crochet becomes an excellent reason to master this type of needlework. Experienced craftswomen sometimes do not even need patterns with patterns, but beginners are not always able to understand these patterns and diagrams. However, if you know what a front, back and air loop is, and also know how to decrease and add loops on a knitted fabric, then you can knit a children's dress without patterns. Let's try?
Dress with Raglan sleeves
In general, raglan is a very suitable type of sleeve forbeginners to master knitting. It is very easy to knit, since the pattern of such a sleeve and armhole for it has straight lines. In addition, such a model is comfortable for a child and practical. To knit a dress for a girl of three or four years old, you will need:
- 300 g of wool yarn;
- circular knitting needles (№ 2 and 2,5);
- five spokes for knitting sleeves in a circle;
- The zipper is about ten centimeters long.
When you start knitting a dress for a girl, take measurements:back length (from neck to waist), skirt length (from waist to bottom), sleeve length and neck circumference. After knitting the sample, calculate the number of loops, the number of which should be divisible by six. We start knitting the dress with a stand-up collar, which we knit in a circle with a simple elastic band (with knitting needles No. 2) to a height of about five centimeters. After that, we change the knitting needles to No. 2.5, and the knitting pattern to the front surface and begin knitting, adding loops. We add loops in the armholes (where the raglan sleeve will be knitted) and in the center of the front and back. To do this, divide the total number of loops by six and mark the places where the loops are added with yarn of a different color. We distribute the loops: one sixth for each sleeve and for each half of the back and one sixth for the two parts of the front.Knitting a dress:
That's it. Finally, we sew a zipper on the back and knit a narrow rope belt.
Dress-sarafan for baby
Mommies don't mind tiny princesses eitherdress up in dresses. This is the dress for a girl aged three to nine months that we suggest you knit with knitting needles. A baby dress for such a baby should be knitted only from natural yarn or cotton threads with the addition of acrylic. To knit a smart dress for a little girl, prepare four skeins of colored yarn and one skein of white yarn (50 g and 125 m each), as well as a skein of fluffy yarn, knitting needles No. 4.5 and two buttons. We begin knitting the dress from the bottom of the back.
This is the kind of dress you can wear for a little girlknit with knitting needles in literally two evenings. By the way, if you knit a dress not with a fluffy border along the bottom, but with lace, knitted with knitting needles or crochet, it will turn out no less elegant. Don't be afraid to start: children's clothes are knitted quickly and easily. Go for it! And you will succeed! We recommend reading:
