Crochet:
First we will knit the yoke. Dial a chain of 114 air loops and make a ring. Knit in 6 cm single crochet stitches. For the braid we knit 1 row with holes
Now we knit the breast of the sundress separately. For armholes, 8 columns should be left on each side. In each row we begin to decrease one stitch on both sides until 38 stitches remain.
Then knit straight from the cast-on edge to a height of 11.5 cm
The back of the sundress. For armholes, leave 6 tbsp. on each side. Now we decrease one st. in each row until 42 sts remain.
Then you need to knit straight to a cast-on edge height of 14 cm
Now we will knit the hem. Now look at the diagram below. We knit with an openwork pattern down from the cast-on edge of the yoke: knit the 1st row 1 time, 3 times the 2nd row, 1 time the 3rd row, 3 times the 4th row, 4 times the 5th row, 4 times the 6th row row, 5 times the 7th row, 2 times the 8th row and 1 time each the 9th and 10th rows.

4. SIMPLE VIDEO LESSONS. HOW TO KNIT A CHILDREN'S SUNDRESS USING A HOOK
Hot summer is just around the corner, and with the arrival of warmth, every mother will be looking for something for her beloved daughter beautiful lung dress With a huge selection of children's clothing in our stores, this is not a problem at all, but for a girl, crocheting is a rarity. And having met a little girl in a similar outfit on the street, many look at her with admiration, thinking about what a handywoman her mother is.
Where to start
So, what do you need to know to knit for a girl? First of all, you need to measure the child, you will need the chest circumference and the length of the product - these two measurements are the main ones. If you knit the sundress bodice in the round, you will also need the head circumference. When starting work, you need to add a couple of centimeters to these measurements for the loose fit of the product.
For girls, they can be knitted in one step - starting from top to bottom, in the round, or in two stages - from the bottom of the bodice up and from the bottom of the bodice down, where the bodice is knitted with the front and wrong side alternately, and the skirt - in a circle.
Sundress, knitted in the round
For such a product, cast on a chain of air loops with a length equal to the head circumference + 2 cm, close it in a circle and begin to knit the first row. Here you can use any pattern you like, the main thing is that the circle after the first row is knitted at the rate of two stitches in each lower loop. This is how a fabric is knitted with a height equal to the height of the armhole + 3 cm, after which the knitting is folded in half and a quarter of the chest circumference is measured from the middle to the edge in one direction and the other, in front and behind the knitting. It is along the measured loops that the beginning of the skirt will be formed. Between the two side marks you should cast on 4-6 chain stitches for a good fit along the chest line. Once work on the skirt begins, you can change the basic pattern in which you can add the number of loops. The ideal option is a “pineapple” or “fan” pattern. Also, along the line where you start knitting the skirt, for fullness, you can increase the number of stitches in one bottom loop of the row. Such crocheted sundresses for girls look very cute on toddlers from one to three years old.
Sundress in two stages
The first stage is knitting the bodice. Crochet sundresses like these for girls begin with a set of chain stitches. The length of the chain should be 2 cm greater than the chest circumference, if the sundress is high-waisted, or the waist circumference. Knitting is done alternately from the front and back sides, the bodice is knitted to the height of the armhole, after which there is a succession of front and back parts, turning into straps. They can be made with a clasp, or they can be combined into one. The skirt panel begins from the bottom line of the bodice, doubling or tripling the number of stitches, and is knitted in exactly the same way as the top of the sundress from the face and from the back, in the round, but with a revolution, work begins only on the hip line. The reversal is done in order to continue the alternate direction of the stitches of the front and back rows, which ensures beautiful and even crochet. A sundress in two stages can be made using a variety of patterns. Such sundresses are suitable for both very little and older fashionistas.
The most best clothes for little fashionistas in the summer - tops and dresses. For this reason, it always makes sense for mothers to crochet a sundress for a girl. This outfit will be a real holiday and will undoubtedly delight the little one. Also, the child will stand out from the rest in an original and unique way.
Features of the pattern
Before you start crocheting a summer sundress for a girl, you need to understand the features of its cut. The simplest option is a straight stocking with straps. This is a kind of elongated top. It is perfect for little ones. For bigger girls there is another simple option.
We knit the upper part straight, like the previous version, but at the waist line we switch to knitting in the round, like a napkin. This cut allows you to get full skirt. The more stitches you add on each row, the more pleats you will get.
Thus, a crocheted sundress for a girl will become not only practical clothing, but also a completely formal outfit. Provided that you choose the right pattern and type of thread, such clothing will turn into a real work of art. The main thing here is not to be afraid to experiment.
Simple white sundress
Any beginner can knit a beautiful, elegant and simple crocheted sundress for girls. To do this, you need to know the size of the child and be able to knit a pair of dense and openwork patterns, not necessarily of increased complexity. The blouse or dress that the girl is currently wearing will help you determine the size.
We cast on a chain of air loops, which will be twice equal to the width of the selected measurement. True, there is one nuance here - during the knitting process, the width of the product will increase slightly. This point must be taken into account so that the sundress does not turn out to be too loose.
After this, we connect the ends of the chain and knit several rows in a circle in a tight pattern. The simplest option is double crochet or single crochet. The width of the knitted part depends on the desire of the knitter herself. But don't make it too narrow.
When the main fabric is ready, we tie the straps at the top on which the sundress is worn.
Sundress in a column
But it is not necessary to crochet sundresses for girls, the patterns of which require a lot of experience and certain skills. You can create a product that will both wear well and look great. There is no need to be an ace in crocheting. An example of this would be a sundress made exclusively using stitches and crochets.
Its highlight is not in the pattern, but in the simple and practical cut. It is knitted from the top, according to the raglan principle. To form the correct sleeves, we knit two loops into one arch on the raglan lines. When the armholes are ready, connect them and knit further to the waistline or a little higher.
In this particular product, the craftswoman changed the tone of the working thread to emphasize the moment where the skirt begins, and therefore the smooth expansion of the working fabric. This crocheted sundress for girls is made with a wrap, but it can also be knitted in the round, fastening the wide neck with a button at the front or back.
Openwork skirt
We knit the upper part of the product with any acceptable pattern. At the same time, it is important that it is in harmony with what will be on its lower part. Pineapples and other plant patterns absolutely do not fit this description. It is better to choose something simple and discreet, so that the skirt is the accent of the product.
The first row will be transitional and is knitted on the basis of the last one at the top of the sundress. The dots indicate air loops or loops of the previous row. Vertical sticks are columns. The number of horizontal lines on them indicates how many yarn overs are needed for the pattern.
The most difficult part of this pattern for beginners will be the common top of two or three columns. It is knitted like this: we make the required number of yarn overs, knit a stitch, but leave the last loop on the hook so that it looks like there are two of them. After this, we yarn over again and knit the next stitch. The last loop is also left in it, and there are already three of them. When the number of stitches required for joining is ready, knit all the loops on the hook together.
Summer pineapples
Now let’s look at crocheted sundresses for girls, the patterns of which contain the popular “pineapples”. We also knit the upper part with a random pattern. Please note that it should not be very openwork and fluffy in order to draw all the attention to the skirt.
According to this pattern, we start knitting not from the waist, but from the armhole. Therefore, in the upper part the pattern practically does not expand. The entire skirt will also not be too wide.
The pattern of this pattern is a little simpler than the previous one. It also has columns with several crochets and a common top. The only difference is that the knitted elements end up forming the famous “pineapple” pattern. Its popularity has not changed over the years. Craftswomen are looking for ways to improve it and make it more elegant and unusual.
Playing with color
Here's a great way to use color to highlight different parts of a product. As stated earlier, upper part, from which a sundress (crocheted) for a girl begins, made with fans pink color. This is one of the variations of the pattern, in which its elements are knitted one above the other and have different sizes. It turns out that the top of the sundress consists of columns of wide and narrow fans.
The lower part of the sundress appears to be one of the variants of pineapples. This is a fairly wide variation of it, which results in the well-known circle skirt. It has a light silhouette and beautiful folds.
But not only two colors can be used. In children's sundresses there is a huge field for space and opportunities to play with shades. The main thing is not to be afraid to experiment.
Correct threads
Once you have decided on the model and pattern, you need to purchase the appropriate yarn. There are several nuances to consider here. Firstly, a sundress for a girl is crocheted for the summer. This means that it should be pleasant to the body. It is better to give preference to cotton threads, which are highly breathable and absorb moisture. Their disadvantage is that they quickly lose their shape.
Secondly, you need to add a little synthetic to natural threads. Here you decide for yourself: either it will be a small artificial thread, or ready-made yarn with the addition of synthetics.
Thirdly, the colors should not fade, since the thread is in direct contact with the body, and poor quality dyes can cause an allergic reaction when interacting with sweat.
A few words about tools
It is quite obvious what the main tool is for knitting - crochet. Sundress for girls summer period requires a special approach to choosing the tool with which it will be connected. And all because children's products should be light and airy.
And most importantly: when knitting children's clothing, never sit down to work in a bad mood. Children need to be given only joy and care, and not passed on our feeling unwell, which is woven together with threads.
Sundress – perfect clothes for children's wardrobe! Knitted sundresses are an absolute hit, since it’s hard to imagine more comfortable clothes for girls. It can be worn either alone or with a warm turtleneck. A sundress for a girl is easy to crochet even for beginner knitters.
Summer crocheted patterns for girls are airy, openwork and not hot in them. You can add pantaloons to the sundress, for example, for a baby who is just starting to walk. Knitted sundresses will be an important element of the summer wardrobe for a girl at any age.
For older girls, the ensemble is complemented with hats, handbags, boleros, and jackets. The color variety of crocheted sundresses is not limited to anything; on the contrary, they are appropriate for a children's wardrobe bright shades and various floral motifs.
