Many needlewomen at least once in their life tried to crochet a sundress. For women aged, patterns with a dense pattern are more suitable, and young ladies prefer openwork and sirloin knitting with decorative elements.
Ideas for beginner knitters
It is difficult for beginners to switch to knitting large products, since many lack the patience to pore over the same pattern for many months. There are several ways to speed up the creation of large products.
- Separate motives. Knitting individual motifs increases performance through quick results. They can be knitted in any free time, even in traffic jams. Only such a crocheted sundress for beginners requires a clear pattern.
- Knitting and sewing. Sewing will help speed up the creative process. Sew a skirt of a sundress according to the pattern, and sew a knitted bodice to it. You can decorate the seam next to the arches, and decorative elements on the top, made in the color scheme of the bottom of the product, will create a holistic harmonious image.
- Openwork and filet pattern. Pineapples, squares, nets knit quickly, so a sundress will turn out in a couple of days. Gleams are decorated with knitted flowers or hem fabric lining. But it is best to switch to a tight pattern in the chest and hips.
Sundresses for girls (crochet): knitting patterns
If you do not have much experience in knitting and cutting, then you can go the following way.
- Measure the length of the product from the armpit to the knee and straps, the volume of the chest, waist, hips.
- Start knitting with a bodice. Tie the chain, close it in a circle, continue to work with a filet net (alternating cape stitches and loops).
- After 5-7 centimeters, go to the multi-colored herringbone pattern (* 3 loops, 4 double crochet with two loops between them *). Alternate vertical stripes of red, blue, blue, pink, white in a circle. There are two repetitions of a pattern in a bodice, in the skirt their number is gradually increasing.
- From the waist, you begin to add loops, while the extreme rows of stripes do not change. That is, an increase is made inside the color ornament.
- For ten centimeters from the knee, go to the filet grid.
- You end the row with an arched pattern (in one loop of 5-10 capitals, where the extreme ones are connected by a connecting loop to the product itself).
- From the top, knit the straps.
- The bodice is decorated with two lush flowers.
Here's a bright dress for beginners with a simple pattern.
Dress with an armhole
The previous product started right from the armpit line, but for some, such a product can rub skin. Therefore, we will consider how to make a dress with an armhole. It will be knitted in two directions: first the bodice, then from the set of chain bottom.
- Gather a chain of loops across the chest.
- In a circle, alternate five “cap” columns with one air loop.
- Each row begins with “lifting” three loops, and ends with a connecting loop.
- Having reached the armhole line, you begin to decrease 2 loops in each row, that is, completely repeats one repeat of the pattern - * 5 “roll” columns, 1 loop *.
- Knit without changes to the straps that you make separately.
The bodice is over. According to this scheme, almost all sundresses for girls are crocheted. The skirt patterns in this example will contain mesh elements.
- The first row (* five air loops, connecting column *) start from the chain of a set of bodice.
- The second row will be staggered, that is, start from the middle of the loops.
Continuation of knitting children's sundress
- On the third row, begin to form a pattern: six double crochets on one “arch loop”, four air loops with a connecting column on the second loop. So alternate to the end.
- In the fourth row, only arches with “cap” columns are knitted. Alternate the "cap" column with an air loop. The last column of one arch is connected by a connecting loop with the first element of the next.
- Next, the pattern is repeated from the first row. Only the pattern from the columns goes in a checkerboard pattern.
- The skirt ends with a mesh of the first row.
The result was an openwork sundress crocheted with his own hand. It can be upgraded a bit. For example, knit a bodice to the armhole according to the picture:
- 2 double crochet, * the same number of loops, 3 “crochet” columns * 2 loops, 2 “crochet” columns;
- 1 half-column, 5 “roll” columns, knitted on two loops of the previous row;
- 1 “crochet” column, 1 loop, * 3 double crochet, knitted in the middle on the previous five columns, 2 loops *; the row ends just as it starts, with an ordinary loop and column.
How can I modify a model?
We continue to consider options for sundress patterns for the same pattern.
- 3 “crochet” columns, knitted in the ordinary loop of the previous row, * half-column, 5 “crochet” columns *, also ends with a half arch.
- The next row goes like the first.
- Two rows are half-columns.
- The next row is knitted with “scribe” columns, only in the place of the armhole go to one single crochet and the other half columns.
- The remaining rows at the armhole also go to the half-column.
- You tie a neck and armhole with a finishing arched level.
In the first stage, a sundress was crocheted. The skirt scheme in this channel will consist of “Christmas trees” and air loops. The first two rows are knitted from the "Christmas trees" without air loops between them. Each element consists of 4 double crochets and two loops between them, knitted in one loop of the base. The division into wedges begins from the next row (one wedge consists of 5 “fir trees”). The extreme ones fit to the end without changes, the pattern changes on the middle element, which, after a couple of rows, begins to branch into similar columns with a crochet and loops.
Crochet sundress for women according to the napkin pattern
Beginners can not complain that they only knit napkins. The needlewomen came up with chic models of napkins that can be located on the sides, front, bottom or become the basis for the whole dress. The latter model is more suitable for novice craftswomen who knit a napkin, and after it is finished knit a dress according to any pattern, since in the first two cases, the napkins can “incorrectly” take on the shape of the body, distorting the intended image.
Let us consider in more detail the description of the sundress, where the napkin becomes the support of the whole product.
- Make a full-length pattern. Indicate on it schematically the dimensions of the napkin, outline the oblique bottom of the product.
- Knit a napkin according to the pattern. As soon as its dimensions reach the boundaries indicated on the pattern, immediately proceed to knitting the bodice, neck and straps. In this case, from the bodice, knitting continues in a circle.
- Systematically apply the product to the pattern to adjust the shape.
- Stitch seams.
If you make a fabric lining, then prick on the fabric and grind. And if you want to tie such a sundress for babies, then just tie two napkins, add a strap and grind the seams.
Sundress from the elements
Elements can be large, small, regular and irregular in shape. Therefore, first make patterns in full growth. Then tie the item you like. Spend all the work with him to get clear dimensions (measure, wash, iron, measure again and compare the parameters).
On the patterns with a pencil, draw the shapes of the motifs to find out their exact number. So you will clearly see if there are gaps and what sizes. They can be closed with smaller details or simply tie the resulting motives in 1-2 rows. This can happen if it is a "floral" dress (crochet).
The scheme of such an element will be as follows:
- dial 6 air loops;
- tie 6 petal-cones (5 “column” columns in one loop);
- alternate a half-column with two air loops (while the latter are above the petals);
- knit a half-column over a similar element of the previous row, and in the air loops you knit an arch of 5 columns (at the edges are simple columns, and in the middle with a crochet).
Motivational sundresses
We continue to consider the "flower" knitting sundresses (volumetric flower patterns):
- alternate a half-column with five air loops;
- over the loops, knit an arch of 7 columns (normal at the edges, “mantle” in the middle), and in the place of the half-column make a grab for the previous row, starting with two loops;
- knit 6 loops over the arches, and between them make a grab for the previous row;
- alternate 5 loops with a half-column through four loops of the previous row;
- knit 7 stitches with a half-column in a checkerboard pattern;
- 9 stitches with a half-column also line up in a checkerboard pattern.
To make the product bright, use multi-colored threads. Please note that the sundress of lush flowers is suitable for slim and young girls. It is better for full or business ladies to pay attention to flat elements. For example, squares look just as bright and unusual.
To choose your color, draw squares of the required sizes on a piece of paper, color with pencils the color of the threads and tie this scheme, where one cell indicates a certain number of columns.
Sundress skirt
Transformer models are great for expectant mothers. Such maternity sundresses hide the stomach from prying eyes, look stylish and do not tighten the body. And after the woman gives birth, she can wear this model like a skirt.
The dress consists of a yoke, shuttlecock and seven parts that fit in two patterns. Please note that the strips in the first scheme are knitted according to the product, and the floral stripes in the second scheme are created separately and consist of 13, 23, 34 parts.
Knitting goes in a circle, begins immediately with stripes (yoke last knitted) according to scheme No. 1:
- type a chain in terms of hips;
- alternate 4 double crochet with three loops;
- knit 4 double crochet columns with four loops.
The second scheme consists of individual large flowers and semi-flowers. They gather together in a strip and are attached to the product. The semi-flower consists of two rows:
- Circle of 5 air loops.
- 7 petals, each of which contains ten loops.
Transformer Model Description
We continue to consider sundresses for pregnant women: a large flower scheme.
- Close the chain in a circle.
- Knit fifteen double crochet columns.
- Alternate a “column” column with an air loop (15 columns should be obtained).
- In places of the loop, make a connecting column, and knit 3 air loops (arch) above it.
- Alternate over the arches, then three, then one "cap" column.
- Knit arches of eight loops, connecting in an ordinary column of the previous row.
- Above the arches, create 10 double crochet columns.
- In each of them, knit 4 “scribe” columns along the edges and 2 “slingshots” (two columns in one base).
This crochet dress for women on the bottom is knitted differently:
- 1 connecting column (CC), * 2 loops, “cap” column * - 2 times, 2 loops, 1CC.
- 2CC, * two loops and “spun” columns * - 3 times, two loops and 2CC.
- Knits in the same way, only for 3CC and 3 “cap” columns.
- 4SS, * 2 loops, “fan” (“cap” columns along the edges, “slingshot” in the middle) * - 3 times, two loops, 4SS.
Continuation of the skirt-sundress
- It is also tied, only 5CSS and over the fan 5 "cap" columns.
- In the connecting posts, 1, 2, 2, 2, 2, 2, 3 air loops are typed. You collect 3 loops, knit * a "cap" column with pico (the third loop connects to the first) * - 2 times, 3 loops, 1CC. Next, the pattern is repeated.
Crochet sundress for women is almost all already knitted. It remains to return to the beginning of the skirt and knit a yoke. In fact, you can take any pattern, the main thing is that the product should be flared.
