Of all the variety of clothes created with your own hands, it is perhaps most interesting to crochet children's dresses. The first is fast. Even a novice craftswoman will need no more than a week to create a work of design art, the likes of which cannot be found in stores. Secondly, light summer and warm winter knitted dresses always look in a special elegant way and distinguish their owner from other girls.
Is it difficult to crochet children's dresses ? No, pretty simple. If you have an idea of columns with a crochet and without it, then it will not be difficult to create an outfit for a daughter. The easiest way to use the alternation of these loops in different combinations. Which patterns to apply in your work can be solved by looking at the children's dresses crocheted with patterns in needlework magazines. As a rule, the more elegant the knitting, the more difficult its execution, however, there are a number of simple lace that look very interesting, and at the same time are easy to use.
Crocheted children's dresses can be knitted from individual elements. Choose a theme and create a real picture: a meadow with flowers and butterflies, the seabed with the inhabitants of the depths, the sky with clouds and the sun, etc. Then sketch the layout of the elements on a paper pattern and start their production: a bright terry flower knits no more than half an hour, the same amount of time will be spent on a butterfly or fish, a bush of algae or a starfish. Put the finished elements on the pattern and attach them with pins in those places where they will look best on the finished product. When all the space is occupied by figures, begin to fasten them together.
The easiest way to sew. At the end, grind the side and shoulder seams and go along the contour of all the armholes with one or two rows of single crochet posts. You can’t even imagine what a sensation such a dress will create among small fashionistas and their parents! Not only is it fun to create, it also looks great.
If you are not sure that you can afford to crochet children's dresses from and to, you can start with a sarafan with an openwork top made of yarn and a lush fabric skirt. What are the advantages of such models: firstly, for an inexperienced knitter, sewing a skirt is easier than knitting. Moreover, no pattern is required - usually just a rectangle of light fabric is used, hemmed from the bottom and gathered from the top. The flaws of the stitching of the top to the bottom will be hidden by a narrow knitted belt. Secondly, playing with the choice of texture and coloring of the fabric, you can make sarafanas completely different in mood, being able to knit only one and only kind of top. Thirdly, for this model there is no need for a lining, as for dresses with delicate skirts - and so it does not shine through.
If you want to crochet a children's summer dress according to a specific pattern or description, be sure to pay attention to the requirements for yarn and a hook. Observing the accuracy of their thickness, you can be sure that you will receive the declared size of the product. Most often, summer sarafans for children are knitted from bright-colored cotton yarn or microfiber - thicker and softer, but as light and hygroscopic as cotton. For the dress, you will definitely want to make a panama for the kit, then a handbag, then something else - the needlework is addictive. And the young creature, for the sake of which you grabbed the hook, watching the miracle of the appearance of each new thing, will also strive to do something with their own hands - and this is a very useful desire.
