Kylie Minogue's crochet dress impressed viewers from all over the world, as soon as the celebrity appeared in it on the red carpet. Visually, it does not look pretentious at all, rather simple and stylish. Nevertheless, every little detail, every line is made with maximum precision, which gives the product grace and originality. The craftswomen liked Kylie Minogue's dress so much that almost every girl was ready to take up the hook to create her own masterpiece in a similar style.
At first glance at the outfit, it is difficult to identify any features - familiar patterns, discreet style and standard colors. But the uniqueness of the product lies much deeper. The fitted model favorably emphasizes not only the ideal star figure, it suits girls with almost any build. In order to highlight the waist, a thin belt is used.
The original style allows you to hide hand imperfections - excessive thinness or fullness. For this purpose, the star designer specially developed a unique pattern. It starts in the bodice area and gradually moves to the sleeves. The effect of a single composition is formed, which visually looks fashionable and elegant. When creating the dress, openwork knitting was used, so you will need a lining. You can choose a lining material to match the product or give preference to a contrasting opposite.
Kylie Minogue crochet dress - diagram and description
A dress will need less yarn than a sweater - 400 grams is enough. It is best to choose threads that contain equal parts of viscose and cotton. Fifty percent of each component. Pearl, sand, and golden colors will look advantageous. In general, you can choose any shades. Original options:
- The dress is white with black lining.
- Bright red top with red lining fabric.
- A summer option is a light green knitted top and a lemon lining. The belt can also be lemon-colored.
For knitting the upper part, choose a 2.5 hook; for the skirt, hook No. 3 is suitable. You need to cast on a chain consisting of 192 loops. Next you should follow the scheme, which can be found in pictures and on the Internet. Ideally, you should get three diamonds on the mittens, five diamonds on the back and five on the front. Three rows are enough to tie the collar. These are single-spaced columns. Air type loops are also used. With each subsequent action, you should use slightly smaller hooks. The presence of a sprout is required (the difference in height between the back and front).
Kylie Minogue crochet dress - work diagram
We begin the process of working from the throat, gradually moving to the bottom of the product. We use a 2.5 hook size when creating a chain of 140 chain stitches. We close them in a ring and knit one row in a circle. We continue to perform the pattern in accordance with the diagrams. Each column of the first row of the diagram in each column of the initial row is approximately fourteen repeats.
In each of them, one air loop is added according to the height of the arch. Starting from the third repeat, five air loops are added in the arches, a hook of the third size is used. After 3 repeats, the product is separated. The yoke is divided into front and back parts - four elements each; there are three repeats per sleeve.
Next, the back and front are knitted separately. For each element, one repeat in height is connected, half a repeat is added on each side. We connect the front and back parts. Patterned halves from the edges form a rapport along the side seam. Then we continue knitting three more repeats up in the circle. To align the edge we use a chain of air loops. For the belt we knit three rows in the round. To create a skirt you will need about forty repeats. Forty centimeters from the belt we knit two repeats in height. All that remains is to connect the lining to the product itself.
