In fact, crocheting a dress is not at all difficult, and with proper dexterity, it is also a fairly quick way to update the wardrobe. We will examine in more detail in this matter.
Useful Tips
So, if you are an absolute beginner in this matter and decided to just start crocheting a dress, then there are some simple tips:
- Buy all the necessary volume of threads at once, because when you finish work, you may no longer have such a tone on sale.
- Do not swipe at a complex drawing or laborious model. It is better to find knitted dresses with a description for the children, and only then update your wardrobe.
- Choose the correct thickness of the thread and keep in mind that the item may sit a little after washing. You can increase the size of the product by steaming it well with an iron.
Preparation for work
Before you buy the threads you like, pick an interesting model, and already buy everything for it. A lace summer dress will need at least 600 g of cotton threads. It can take up to 800 g for winter wool. But it all depends on the thickness of the thread itself. You will also need the hook of the corresponding number. The size of the hook is selected based on the thickness of the thread, in accordance with it the hook and a specific number is assigned. If you can’t decide for yourself, the seller will advise you. Crocheting a dress is extremely convenient also because, apart from threads and a hook, nothing is needed at the initial stage. You can easily take such needlework to work or on the road. For example, you can do it even in public transport or on a bench in the park. Later, you will most likely need to buy buttons, a buckle, zippers or other sewing accessories.
Dress for baby
Knitwear on babies looks very touching. Please your daughter with a beautiful new thing. A white knitted dress is suitable for christening, and for the front door. It fits very simply. The neck fits on the principle of a square with the same square hole in the middle. Folding such a square in half, you get a yoke dress. It remains only to tie the lace sleeves and the skirt of the desired length. In knitting magazines you will find many patterns, but you can use any other pattern. All patterns consist of simple elements: an air loop, a column and a crochet column. Having learned only three simple elements, you can create amazing handmade items.
Of squares
Often a dress is knitted from individual elements - it can be squares or circles. Having imposed the necessary number of individual elements, you sew them together, according to the pattern. So you can knit a plaid, and a wrap on the pillow. In this example, a baby dress is similarly decorated. The yoke is crocheted from squares, the straps are simply knitted, and bright fabric is sewn at the bottom.
Such a dress can be made in one evening and the next day you can go for a walk in it.
For yourself, darling
Starting to crochet a dress once, you will not be able to stop, because the choice of models is simply huge. The dress can be beach and resemble a net, can be lace and festive, and can be classic and everyday. Here the choice is yours. Rather, grab the hook in your hands and start creating. You will not notice how very soon you yourself will begin to invent patterns and schemes, and your work will cause a lot of compliments from colleagues and acquaintances.
