Crochet christening dress for girls with patterns

Christening dress 2The most important moment is the christening of the child. This is more important than any holiday, because on this day the baby gets the opportunity to join the church, and his soul gets a chance for salvation. Mom and Dad are very excited about this day. But everything can be made a little easier if you prepare for this day in advance. For example, knitting a beautiful dress with your own hands for a christening.

This product can be easily put on your baby after bathing. It will look beautiful and according to church traditions. But the most interesting thing is that all kinds of ruffles and flowers can distract the baby and he often stops crying and begins to look at the decorations of his outfit.

Several models of beautiful dresses for a girl's christening, using a crochet hook.

Yarn and hook

Christening dress 3
Yarn and hookFor a baptismal dress, do not use thick and warm threads.

Therefore, here you can choose only their cotton models and you will only have to choose the thickness, since the color is mainly used in white or other pastel colors.

The hook should be the perfect size, usually there is a small hint for it on the skein of yarn itself.

Sample

A sample before creating a christening dress will show how many loops are needed in width and height. Therefore, you should not be lazy and it is better to complete a small square than to unravel the whole product after an incorrect set.

We knitted it and looked at how many loops there would be in 10 cm, and how many rows there would be. Everything was transferred to the patterns and you can start creating the model.

Baptism dress for girls with fillet mesh

Baptism dress for a girl
A very beautiful model and very similar to the very first models of baptismal shirts using a hook. It is no coincidence that the motif with roses, so familiar to fillet knitting, is used here.

Baptism dress for a girlThe work requires:

  • iris yarn;
  • hook 0.85.

Measurements

It is very important for the model to make a good stock. The point is not that the model will need to be put on the baby after bathing. But in the future, according to tradition, this dress will be useful for the baby. Add 10 cm to your model.

Front shelf

To complete this, you need to cast on the number of loops and calculate how much fillet mesh to knit before and after the pattern. The pattern must be made in the center of the shelf. For the armhole, make square bevels. For each side, simply close 4 squares of fillet mesh.

Important! Please note that the buttons are intended for the back, and the front shelf is a one-piece product.

The diagram for the rear shelves is also shown and the armhole is made at the same level as the armholes for the front shelf.

Sleeves

Cast on one repeat of the pattern for the sleeve (this is for a 1-year-old model) and knit a complete repeat in height. Then just move on to the fillet mesh and finish knitting the sleeves after 10 rows.Also knit the second sleeve.

Hem

The most interesting and unusual detail is the hem of the christening dress. It is knitted with a simple strip across the product. It’s better to knit it separately and then just sew it on. The width of the strip is, accordingly, the length of the product. But the width of the hem helps to adjust the length of the strip, very interesting. The longer the strip, the more magnificent this detail will be in the work. For a year old, 7 rapports were knitted.

Assembly

I really liked the lace around the edge of the skirt, and when will we talk about them. To make everything look neat, you will first need to do the assembly, that is, sew on all the parts. But then we’ll do the binding and lace detail, among other things. First, we combine the shelves and sew them in the shoulder areas, then we sew in the sleeves and then sew on the hem strip. It is very important not to rush here, but to achieve even folds along the hem. It is better to first stitch or pin with pins and only after matching, sew with a running stitch.

Harness

Tie the neckline with one row of double crochets. But along the line of the buttons, tie the edges with two rows of single crochets. Make holes on one side. One hole is made like this: a double crochet is skipped and one chain loop is knitted instead. Make holes at a distance of 7 cm from each other along the entire length of the edge. The border at the bottom of the hem is made using the diagram below. Knit one row along the entire edge.

Christening gown, cap and bootiesThe model is ready and all that remains is to sew on the buttons. Mother-of-pearl buttons look good on white.

Christening dress with bandageMaking a baptismal dress is not that difficult. Moreover, the presence of diagrams and a good description only encourages the master to complete the product without problems.

Christening dress with flowersBut even for a beginner it is quite possible to make such models and not get confused in the work.Therefore, we choose good cotton, a crochet hook and start knitting a christening dress.
