How to knit a knitted dress for a girl under 1 year of age according to the instructions with photos and diagrams
We learn how to knit a white dress for a girl up to one year old. The size of this dress is suitable for a girl aged six to nine months.Before you start knitting, prepare the necessary materialsmaterials and tools, namely: knitting needles number three and a half; white acrylic yarn - 200 grams; satin braid of the same color as the yarn. This product is characterized by a knitting density of 10x10 centimeters or 23 loops x 35 rows.Knitting the back.To begin, cast on 92 loops and knit four rows in garter stitch, continuing with the pattern according to the diagram. Having reached a height of thirty-two centimeters, evenly decrease 30 loops, i.e. you will get 62 loops. In the purl row, make several holes for the ribbon: two loops together purlwise, one yarn over. Repeat this until the end of the row and finish with two loops together purlwise. After this, continue knitting in garter stitch. At a distance of two centimeters from the beginning of the garter stitch, close 5 loops (52 sts) on both sides for the armholes. At the same time, for the fastener, continue knitting the first 28 loops, putting aside the last 24 loops for the time being. Having reached a height of 45 centimeters for the shoulder, close 15 loops and remove 13 loops for the neck onto an additional knitting needle. After this, we resume knitting the 24 loops that were set aside, while picking up 4 loops from the inside (equal to 28 loops) and knitting symmetrically to the part that was made.Now we move on to knitting the front piece.Here the knitting process is similar to the back, but without making a fastener. Having reached a height of 40 centimeters, we close the middle 12 loops under the neckline, on both sides of them in every second row, twice two loops and one loop. Having reached a height of 45 centimeters, we close 15 loops for each shoulder. We move on to knitting the sleeves. We cast on 53 loops and knit four rows of garter stitch, while evenly adding 3 loops in the final row, i.e. we get 56 loops, and continue knitting with a pattern in accordance with the diagram. At the level of 5 centimeters for the armhole, we close on both sides in every second row twice 3 loops, 7 times two loops, one loop and the remaining 14 loops. As a result, the height will be approximately 11 centimeters. And finally, it is time to assemble the product. We make seams and sew sleeves into armholes. Along the edge of the neck from the inside, we pick up a loop, including a loop from an additional knitting needle, and knit five rows with the front surface and close the loop. We put the right side of the fastener on the left and sew the bottom. On the right side, we make 3 holes for buttons (overcast with one loop) and sew them. We thread the ribbon into the hole along the border of the change of patterns, release the edges in the middle of the front and tie a bow. We do the same along the bottom of the sleeves. We moisten the knitted dress a little and let it dry.
