To perform such a request, proceed like this:

  • Decide on the model of your future sundress.
    Find it on the pages of a needlework magazine, a specialized website, or spy on it from your friends.
  • Choose the right yarn.
    The thinner it is, the lighter the product and the more openwork it is. For summer models, buy thread containing at least 50% natural fiber - linen, cotton, viscose.
  • Be careful when selecting knitting needles. Their thickness should not differ greatly from the diameter of the yarn thread.
  • Draw a diagram of the sundress indicating the parameters in centimeters.
  • Complete control knitting patterns with all types of patterns. Add value in the stitches to the sundress pattern.
  • Decide on the direction of knitting - bottom up, or top down, or a combination.
  • The main part is knitting all the details of the sundress and connecting them together.
  • Wash the finished sundress by hand and spread it on the table until completely dry.

For babies up to one year old, knit summer sundresses with an extension at the neck that closes with buttons/hooks/snaps.

Another point is to make the product moderately wide so that the child does not get entangled in the hem. The optimal length is just below the knees.

Summer models are characterized by the presence of:

  • flounces, ruffles
  • voluminous knitted flowers
  • accents with yarn of a different color

An openwork crocheted or knitted children's sundress is beautiful due to the lightness of the yarn. When it contains a natural ingredient - linen, cotton.

Therefore, even when choosing a model made of wool, you can easily turn it into a summer one by replacing the yarn.

Try to maintain a balance between the smooth fabric of the yoke and the openwork hem.

A sundress differs from all other things in that it consists of:

  • straps

  • refer to the sketch and model while working on the sundress
  • Before wearing for the first time, wash and dry the finished product

Sundresses can be not only for summer. Warm sundresses are comfortable clothes for any occasion. They warm well, and at the same time the girl looks cute and gentle.

  • For a warm sundress, choose the appropriate yarn. It can be wool with the addition of acrylic. The wool itself can be itchy, acrylic softens the thread
  • You should also remember that yarn can be synthetic and natural. When it comes to children's clothes, it is better to give preference to natural yarn. After all, synthetics do not allow air to pass through

Knitting pattern for a skirt for a sundress for a girl:

Description of knitting a sundress for a girl:

We cast on 14 chain loops with crochet number 3, then we knit three lifting loops and in the fifth loop from the hook we knit a double crochet (hereinafter referred to as dc). In the next 12 loops of the chain we also knit 1 dc each. We unfold our fabric, make three lifting loops and knit a dc in each column of the row in front of it (but behind the back wall). Knit this way until the strip of the resulting “elastic band” is of a length equal to the measurement of the chest circumference. In my case, this is 52 rows.

Then you need to close the elastic band into a ring:

Now move on to knitting the skirt, and, starting from the second row, knit according to the pattern of the main pattern (Pineapples), just make sure that you end up with an even number of arches.

This is what happened after I knitted the first circle of pineapples:

The second batch was crocheted No. 4:

And - the third block of pineapples, where the last 3 rows are in red.

It is better to tie an elastic thread from the inside of the top edge:

Straps sundress for girls Let's use hook number 2,3. Cast on three loops, and plus three more lifting loops, then knit 1 dc in the fourth loop from the hook, and 2 dc in the next 2 chain loops, turn, make 3 lifting loops and 5 dc (1 dc in each st. of the previous row). Tie a strap of the length you need, mine turned out to be 26 cm. The last row of the strap is 2 unfinished dcs.

The best clothes for little fashionistas in summer are 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 a 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 couple 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, we 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.

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 piece. As mentioned earlier, the upper part, from which the sundress (crocheted) for a girl begins, is made with pink fans. 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 pineapple variants. 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 possibilities for playing 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 must 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. A sundress for a girl for the summer requires a special approach to choosing the tool with which it will be tied. 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 convey our poor health, which is woven together with the threads.
