Dress of individual motifs

Women's or children's dress can be knitted in different ways, using a variety of knitting techniques and applying all kinds of patterns. As a rule, this is not an easy job, which requires skill and experience.
But a crochet dress for women can be a very good option. It does not need to be knitted all at once, you can slowly knit the elements and put them in a basket for needlework. And then, when the necessary number of motives for the planned dress will be connected, connect them together. It turns out something like a designer or puzzle, which you need to carefully and competently assemble in a wonderful dress.
Choose a scheme
Schemes and description - mandatory and integral participants in the process of knitting dresses from crochet motifs. The search for schemes should not be spared neither time nor effort, as in the end this will affect the result.

Having spent a lot of time searching and choosing the right variant of the dress scheme, you need to do the work carefully. Only then can you be sure that the result of the work will be amazing.
What are motives? What are they like?
Only very brave and experienced craftswomen can take up immediately crocheting a dress. But what about those who do not consider themselves as such? Do not give up and act! There is an option for such needlewomen - these are crocheted dresses, connected by motives.

Therefore, it is better to immediately stock up with material for work, since it will not always work to buy threads: either they will not be on sale, or the color will be wrong.
Having found a suitable scheme and description for a dress made of crochet motifs, you need to carefully study them and consider in detail, pay attention to difficult moments.
