Dress is women's favorite clothing. It comes in many forms, comes in different lengths, and is made in two ways. The first is sewing a fabric product. And the second is knitting or crocheting with patterns. The last method is the most preferable, since there are much more craftswomen who have the necessary skills to create this thing than those who know how to sew. In addition, with proper preparation, even an inexperienced needlewoman can knit a dress. It is enough to choose from a large number of proposals an option that contains pattern diagrams and an approximate description.

Most often, knitted variations of this item are especially relevant in the cold season. Therefore, the best solution would be to make a warm dress with a braid pattern.

How to knit a dress with braids and a voluminous collar

First you need to purchase the appropriate material. Cold weather implies the use of warm fiber, and the relief of patterns requires sufficient thread thickness. It is better to opt for wool or acrylic yarn with parameters 350m\100g and use knitting needles No. 3.5. It is advisable to purchase a special knitting needle for tying braids. This will make your work process easier.

Also, before starting work, it is necessary to take measurements and create patterns of parts. For construction, you can use ready-made drawings, adjusting them according to your measurements.

First, you need to decide on the model and length of the product. And also decide whether this item will fit your figure or whether you prefer a loose fit.

Then knit a sample pattern and make knitting calculations. Only after completing all these steps can you begin the workflow.

Attention! Before performing calculations, do not forget to perform a wet-thermal treatment of the sample.

Let's look at the implementation of a fitted model as an example. The secret to making this thing is hidden in the use of knitting needles of several sizes: No. 4, No. 3.5, No. 3. By moving the fabric from a larger size to a smaller one and back again, you will ensure a tight-fitting shape of the item around the waist.

For this embodiment, take approximately 700 grams of high-quality acrylic yarn and circular knitting needles No. 4, No. 3.5, No. 3.

Execution process:

• On knitting needles No. 4, cast on 58 sts and knit a horizontal strip of the desired size, while distributing the patterns between the edges as follows: 12 sts according to pattern 10.4; 32 p scheme 10.1; 12 p scheme 10.2. Sew the strip into a circle;
• Cast on the required number of loops along the edge of the resulting ring and knit, alternating the pattern according to pattern 10.2 and single-row “rice” (1p: knit, purl. 2p: purl, knit). At the same time, in the waist area, make a smooth transition to the knitting needles in the following order No. 3.5-No. 3-No. 3.5. Knit in a pattern to the floodplain;
• Next, knit the front and back parts separately. Make reductions for the floodplains and create a neckline;
• Start knitting the sleeves by casting on needles No. 4 42p and knit the cuffs with a 2x2 rib, while adding 5p 1 p on both sides. Next, when switching from the rib to the general pattern, evenly add 28p;
• To continue working, distribute the loops between the edge stitches as follows: 21 stitches with a single-row “rice” pattern, 2 purl, 32 stitches according to pattern 10.1, 2 purl, 21 stitches with a single-row “rice” pattern. Form a sleeve cap at a sufficient height;
• For the collar on knitting needles No. 4, cast on 22 stitches. Knit the fabric according to pattern 10.3;
• Sew shoulder seams, sew in sleeves. Sew on the collar.

Attention! Before assembling the product, do not forget to conduct a WTO of the parts.

Dress with braids without a collar: how to knit it yourself

Not all representatives of the fairer sex are suited to models with a collar. But this does not mean that in the knitted arsenal there will not be a variation suitable for you. For example, the model below is simple in execution, but at the same time has a special charm and sophistication. To some extent, this is facilitated by its light, pleasant coloring.

The example below is made in a raglan fashion from bottom to top. The main pattern is knitted according to pattern A.

Work process:

• For the front, cast on the estimated number of stitches and knit 10 cm with a 2x2 rib;
• Next, continue working with the main pattern. At the same time, to form a floodplain, make a raglan line;
• The back part is made similarly to the front, only with a higher line of closure of the loops;
• For the sleeves, cast on the estimated number of stitches on the knitting needles and knit 10 cm with a 2x2 elastic band. Perform the necessary increases and formation of the raglan line;
• Carry out wet-thermal treatment of parts;
• Perform raglan seams;
• Sew side seams;
• Tie the neckline in a crawfish step.

Dress decoration ideas with braids

For products of this type, you need to be very careful in decorating, as there is a danger of getting a “heavy” appearance. But you can resort to some techniques:

• One of the ways to decorate this thing would be to sew small beads or seed beads onto the fabric in a certain order: along the neckline, diagonally from one shoulder to the waist in the form of a triangle, and so on;
• Another decorative element that can emphasize the beauty of clothing can be a wide or narrow belt;
• Also, if the fabric of the clothing is partially knitted with braids, finishing the top with fringe or lace is quite appropriate.

Decorative elements in the form of patch pockets or asymmetrical fasteners can also serve as decoration.

This knitted dress advantageously emphasizes the figure due to the longitudinal pattern with braids and the fitting made with increases and strangles between the braids, such a pattern visually stretches and slims.
