A warm knitted dress can make a woman very feminine. Even a gray dress looks so elegant, but this is not the only strength of a knitted dress. Next are two chic models that will emphasize the waist and make the legs longer.
Selection of yarn and knitting needles
For the winter model, you should pay attention to the wool content. The more there is, the warmer the product. Large thread is very popular; with it, even simple facing fabrics turn out beautiful and warm. But mohair should not be ignored either.
Even from thin mohair you can get such a wonderful and warm dress that will outshine any lush acrylic.
It is important not to take prickly ones or those that easily cause allergies. With knitting needles for a dress, the choice is easier. Here it is important to pay attention to the number and match it specifically to the selected yarn. Usually on the ball itself there is information regarding the knitting needles and hook that can be used to knit.
Sample
We have chosen the models, read what and how to do, and the next right step after purchasing yarn and knitting needles will be to determine the correct size and calculate the stitches accordingly.And here it is simply impossible without a special sample.
The sample is a small square, which was knitted using the same pattern as on the model of the selected dress. Then, using any measuring object (ruler, measuring tape), we calculated how many loops there are per 10 cm, and how many there are per the same 10 cm rows according to the chosen pattern. This is the density (two numbers). The density then determines how many loops there will be in the set and how many rows there will be in the part.
Warm winter dress for women knitted
Two stunning patterns of women's knitted dresses that can be made in a few days and worn on cold winter days. For each dress there are diagrams and a detailed description of the entire manufacturing process. Even a beginner can handle such charming dresses. Therefore, if you like the dress, we start making it together.
Gray knitted dress with cute pockets
A dress with pockets and small braids is a very elegant model. There is nothing superfluous here. You won't get tired of the braid pattern. They are so small and look even more distinct against the background of the facial surface.
To work you will need:
- Alize half-wool yarn with thin thread;
- knitting needles number 2.
Sample
To determine the correct set of loops, you will need to knit a small sample and calculate the density. Then determine how many stitches you will need to cast on. This model is designed for size 46.
Back/front
The back and front shelves are exactly the same and the cutout for the armhole is at the same level and the depth of the neckline is identical. To create, you will need to master the stockinette stitch and 1*1 elastic band.
Elastic pattern 1*1:
1st row: chrome/p, k/p, purl/p, (repeat until the end of the row of k/p and purl/p), chrome/p.
Row 2: krom/p, p/p, k/p, (repeat until the end of the row, p/p and k/p), krom/p.
Front stitch pattern:
1st row: chrome/p, knit/p (knit all stitches only with knit stitches), chrome/p.
2nd row: chrome/p, purl/p (knit all loops purl only), chrome/p.
For size 46, cast on 120 stitches and knitting starts from the bottom of the hem and continues up to the neck. Knit 6 rows of 1*1 rib and switch to stockinette stitch pattern. Knit 30 cm without changing the width of the fabric. Then, every 4 rows, decrease by 2 stitches (from each edge of the fabric). Knit this way for 24 cm and then start bevelling to cut out the armhole to the sleeves. To make a bevel, cast off the stitches on each row in the following sequence: 3-2-1.
Knit 20 cm after the armhole cutout and start the neckline cutout. To do this, first cast off the middle 20 loops, and then knit the left side separately and the right side of the hem or back separately. In each subsequent row, cast off two loops. Knit until there are 30 stitches left. Then just close the hangers.
Sleeves
A pattern with small braids has already been used for the sleeves. At the beginning, the cuff is made using the already familiar 1*1 elastic band. Knit a 1*1 elastic band from a set of 60 loops for 10 cm. Next, gradually move to a pattern with braids and add loops according to the pattern of the fabric so that each line turns into neat braids.
Knit 32 cm without changing and then start bevelling for the armhole cutout. To do this, you will have to close 2 and 1 loop, alternating, until only three repeats remain. Then close the loops and the sleeve is finished.
Pockets
For the pocket, you need to cast on 4 repeats according to the pattern of the fabric with braids and knit according to the pattern with additions of 1 loop in each row.Increase over 6 rows. Then simply make an edge using the added stitches using stockinette stitch. Knit a pocket to a height of 14 cm. Work 6 rows with 1*1 rib and finish knitting. Make the second pocket in the same way.
Assembly
Sew the finished shelves in the shoulders and sew in the sleeves. Next, make the side seams. Afterwards the most important thing remains — set of collar loops.
Important! Only an even set of loops can provide a beautiful collar, so don’t rush. It is better to calculate how many loops you need to cast on in each fabric.
The collar requires only 90 stitches. Cast on and knit in circular rows according to the pattern of small braids. Knit about 20 cm and finish knitting.
All that remains is to sew on the pockets and the dress is ready.
Knitted dress for women with a putanka pattern
Just an unusual model of a dress with knitting needles will win the heart of both the master and the owner of a wonderful thing. This chunky knit and this unusual hem. The collar skillfully fit into the picture of the unusual model. Read more about how to create this miracle with your own hands below.
To work you will need:
- Alize yarn is a thick thread with a high acrylic content;
- knitting needles number 6.
Sample
Knit a small sample first so as not to be mistaken with the size of such a charming dress.
Front shelf/back
The front and back parts are identical and therefore the explanation is only for one shelf. For size 44 you will need to make a set of 90 loops using thick yarn. Knit immediately with a 55 cm tangle pattern. This model does not require a cutout for the armhole. But the neckline here is very impressive.For it, after 55 cm, first close off 5 loops and then 5 in each row until only 20 loops remain for the hangers.
Sleeves
Make a total of 16 cm out of 50 loops using an elastic band 2*2. Next, switch to the tangle pattern. Knit a 30 cm tangle and bind off the loops in one row.
Assembly
Sew the shoulder seams first, then the side seams. Now you can start knitting the neckline. For it, cast on 90 loops along the edge of the neckline and knit with a 2*2 elastic band for a total of 40 cm. Separately, knit small strips using a 1*1 elastic band. The width of the strip is 12 loops. The length of the strip is 40 cm. Sew to the inside, and for one end additionally sew a button for decoration.
To get an unusual elastic band at the bottom, just cast on the loops along the fabric itself at an angle. Knit with a slight overlap using an elastic band 2*2 in straight and reverse rows, and then sew on the free edge. The length requires only 10 cm. So a new and very stylish dress is ready.
Knitting a dress with knitting needles is not so difficult. Moreover, if you are used to wearing very unique and unusual things, this task is for you.
Therefore, we put aside all fears and uncertainty and just start making cool dresses for winter with our own hands.
