Dress is the basis of any woman’s wardrobe. This is her second skin, which perfectly hides nudity, emphasizes the advantages and hides all the flaws of the figure. Dress is a way of self-expression. But often in stores it’s hard enough to choose a comfortable and beautiful dress. And the prices of modern models bite. But many needlewomen know a way out of this situation - a dress can be knitted.
Knitting dresses with needles will create a unique product. After all, such a dress can not be found anywhere else. In addition, needlewomen know by choosing the right yarn, you can knit many models designed for each season.
Yarn selection
The main thing in knitting dresses with knitting needles is the choice of yarn. It is necessary to pay attention not only to its thickness, but also to the composition. Agree, in a dress of 100% merino in the summer heat it will be quite hot. In addition, it is necessary to take into account the cut of the future model.
- Pay attention to the season. For a warm winter dress, it is better to choose yarn with a high content of wool. Merino is great. Autumn or spring dress is better to knit from wool or cotton. It all depends on the period for which this outfit. Of course, for summer options it is better to choose linen, cotton.
- You should also read reviews about yarn. Pay attention to the tendency of products from the selected yarn to form spools. After all, it will be a shame when, after the first wash, unpleasant lumps appear on your favorite outfit.
- If you want to knit a tight-fitting dress, make sure that the yarn is elastic. Otherwise, you will have to additionally tie a rubber band into the product, which will give the product elasticity.
- Want to knit a warm dress on the floor? Be sure to choose airy yarn. After all, the product will be stretched under its own weight. As a result, instead of a beautiful silhouette, you get an unattractive shapeless hanging product.
- When choosing a thread, pay attention to its "pricklyness". Remember, no matter how beautiful the yarn looks, your body will come into contact with it. And if the thread is pricked, then microcracks and irritations are guaranteed to you. It is worth remembering that each person has his own skin sensitivity. Some are pleased with the body of the product made of mohair, while others prick even this type of premium yarn.
Preparatory work
All needlewomen know that before work it is necessary to decide on the future model. Then choose yarn and tools: knitting needles, needles, hooks and markers. Once everything is prepared, it is necessary to tie a sample to the selected yarn. It must contain a pattern that will be on the dress. It must be measured, washed and dried. After the measurements are repeated and compared with the previous ones. So you can find out whether the thread is stretched or "sits down". So you can definitely do knitting dresses for women of the right size.

We calculate the required number of loops based on data from a knitted and washed sample. We knit the dress in parts. First we knit the back. We collect the required number of loops and knit 5-10 cm with an elastic band. After we go to the main pattern. Often the back is tied with a front or wrong side. We knit the length of the dress to the armhole. Here we reduce the loop on the armhole and neck. We tie the necessary length of the product to the shoulder sections.
In the same sequence we knit in front of the product. Remember, if you include braids or harnesses, they must be correctly positioned. The neckline on the front of the dress should be deeper.
Sleeves often also begin to knit with elastic. After the fabric is knitted with the selected pattern, evenly adding loops. Having reached the level of the armhole, it is necessary to make reductions on both sides that correspond to those on the back and front of the product. Gradually, all the loops cut, close.
The last step is the assembly of the product. Use a hook or needle to stitch all the pieces together. First, shoulder seams are made, sleeves are sewn, and after - side ones.
Now, loops from previously shortened ones are gathered on the neck, the neck is tied.
