Knitted mohair dress

Masters have already practically studied all the beneficial properties of mohair. Who knitted a mohair dress?

If you haven’t tried to make elegant models of dresses from mohair, now is the time.

This natural and fluffy fiber is very popular.. Original dresses and fairly simple patterns for making patterns will help masters and beginners alike to knit lovely patterns.

Selection of yarn and hook

As for mohair itself, it can sound in three versions. The yarn will vary in thread thickness.

Very positive color solutions and moderately restrained.

Among such a variety you will be able to find your own model for a dress.

Knitting needles for mohair are chosen and the advice from the manufacturer must be taken into account; in each product, he tells you which number is best to knit from the thread.

Sample

Mohair is no different from any other type of yarn. It is softer and more delicate, but the meaning of counting the loops remains the same. You will have to knit a small piece of mohair first when using the main dress pattern.

In some cases, there will be several such patterns and samples and therefore the sample will need to be knitted more than once. Next, apply a ruler to the mohair square and count the number of loops and the number of rows. Two numbers make up the knitting density.

Set of first stitches for 2 knitting needles

Then, based on the measurements and density, the number of loops to cast on is determined. Everything is matched to each pattern. The best option would be to take notes on everything so as not to make mistakes.

So, everything has been calculated and estimated and we can move on to the model.

Original knitted mohair dresses (step by step with diagrams)

Let's look at the descriptions in detail with diagrams of two stunning mohair models.

Blue mohair dress

A very bright and positive model will be good for a children's party. But it would also be a good option for going to the playground with a child.

To work you will need:

bright colored mohair;
knitting needles number 2.

Measurements

You don’t have to measure the waist circumference, back height (from the neckline to the waist), and the length of the dress’s skirt to the waist, since the pattern has a unique pattern that will be very difficult to change without spoiling it. Then measure your neck circumference and simply multiply by 2.

For knitting 3/4 sleeves you will need to measure this indicator on the girl. The width of the back is useful for drawing up a pattern for the shelves. All these unique indicators can simply be converted into loops and you can start knitting.

Shelf/back

They need to be made according to one pattern, but the size of the neck, or rather its depth, should be made a little smaller for the back. All sizes are given for 46. The shelf begins from the bottom and to the neck. To do this, you need to cast on 90 loops and start knitting according to the given patterns without changing the loops. Knit for the armhole and make reductions: 7-4-3. For the neckline, perform contractions at the same level.To do this, reduce as follows: 3-2-1-1-1-1-1-1-1-1. Tie the shelf to the required length. It will be equal to the height of the backrest. Knit the back the same way, but raise it by 10 rows for the neckline.

Sleeves

Knitted from 80 loops. The first 2 rows are done with 1*1 rib. Next is the pattern that was used to create the shelves. Knitting with additions in each 6th row of 5 loops. Knit to the armhole and make small contractions on each side: 4-5-6-7. Knit a little more and bind off the loops.

Assembly

You need to sew in the shoulder seams, then sew in the sleeves and make the side seams. Then turn the product over and cast on a lot of loops for the skirt at once to make the skirt fluffy. The pattern shows rapport for the skirt. You can increase the set of loops from the original 180 loops (90 for each shelf) by two or even three times. In this model it is only doubled in size.

The skirt and dress are ready to knit according to the pattern. You can try it on and decorate it with a small satin ribbon. The princess outfit is ready so quickly.

Short mohair dress

Cute and simple, a lot of tenderness can be said about this new product.

To work you will need:

pink mohair, medium fiber thickness;
knitting needles number 2.

Measurements

Measure hip circumference and chest circumference. Next, you need to find out the length of the product (measure from the shoulder to the desired length). Put everything into loops and fix it so as not to get lost.

Front/back

Knitting of each shelf begins from the bottom to the top. A zigzag knitting pattern will be used up to the waistline. It is presented separately. Then the usual stockinette stitch was used. To call it familiar is not entirely correct.When it comes to mohair, not every diagram can be read, it is such a fluffy and unusual product.

This pink charm is designed to fit a size 44 and as such all measurements and descriptions are provided for it. Cast on stitches according to the pattern for 20 repeats. Knit the front side from this number of repeats and do not add or decrease stitches. Knit to the waist line. Next, the pattern will be changed to stockinette stitch. Knit to the chest line and begin decreasing immediately for the armhole and neckline.

Perform a smooth bevel of the neck by gradually closing the loops: first 7, then 4,3,2,2,1,1,1,1. So for each side. As for the armhole, cast off 3 stitches first, then cast off 2, 2, 1 and 1 stitches in the next row. After closing this way you will get very thin straps. Knit to the required length and bind off the loops.

The back should be knitted identically. It has the exact same neckline. The dress turns out to be very transparent and therefore it is necessary to wear an elongated model of some kind of T-shirt in color.
