Knitted dresses are becoming increasingly popular. New models will also appear in 2018. Every craftsman dreams of making them. Here's how to knit new items when you only have photos.
Not everyone is able to decipher interesting patterns if it is, say, a difficult stockinette stitch.
This article is especially for masters. She will reveal the secrets of the coolest and most fashionable knitted dresses for 2018-2019.
Yarn and knitting needles
Yarn for a dress in 2018 can be of medium thickness fiber or thick. Large patterns are very popular. It can be braids and arans. No less voluminous products will be obtained from lush cones. The texture of the thread itself can be plain or with inclusions.
It is better to use comfortable, soft and non-thorny varieties. There should be no stress for the skin and therefore the choice falls on hypoallergenic varieties. The knitting needles for the yarn must be selected according to size. It is convenient to knit bulky items on circular knitting needles. This way there is less danger that the outer loops will fly off and allow the product to unravel.
Sample
A dress of any size and any pattern will always require a sample. This is a small insurance and even more that the master can do before making the pattern and starting the product.
The pattern for a knitted product is drawn up almost twice. The first one displays the size in cm. But the second one is responsible for the loops. After the sample, the density is calculated and this helps to further count the loops and display them in the second pattern.

Knitted loose dresses have become very popular. This Such sweater dresses are exclusive for girls and stylish women.
Some models go so far as to shoulders are practically not hidden under voluminous products. Such a slight carelessness of style. The model simply drowns in her clothes.
But the slim and fitted options. Very beautiful and elegant. This conveys all the femininity of the product.
It's just unusual things that become popular. These are interesting prints, embroideries and something that does not exist in ordinary life.
As a result, it turns out that fashionable should be considered:
- volumetric models;
- interesting cut;
- fitted and feminine;

Tunic dress with leggings or jeans
A very original product. A short front and long back detail are so popular. The rounded smoothness and the English elastic pattern make the model charming. And the most piquant thing is that the unusual weave along the front shelf with whole canvases forms an interesting element.
To work you will need:
- medium fiber yarn (denim);
- knitting needles number 2.
Measurements
The model is designed for size 46. But in any case, you will need to first knit the sample and calculate how many loops are useful for the model.
Back
For a rounded edge of the product, you will need to make incomplete rows at the very beginning of the back. You need to start with 120 loops and immediately knit the elastic according to the pattern. To do this, knit the average 40 loops and then make additions in each row. Add three loops at a time. Do this until you get the whole set and then knit according to the pattern to a height of 65 cm. To get an armhole, you need to close the loops in every second row, cutting 2. Continue until the armhole height is 30 cm.
Before
Cast on 60 stitches for half the front and immediately work the second half in parallel. It is important to knit alternately, since crossing and joining occurs precisely with the fabrics. In the second row, transfer 18 loops to another fabric. Make a mutual exchange and continue knitting to a height of 10 cm.
Important! The number of rows between transfers must be equal for the crossing to be even.
Perform 5 crossings for the shelf. And at a height of 40 cm, start decreasing under the armholes. Do not close the crossed fabrics after finishing, but simply leave the loops on additional knitting needles; they will be useful later.
Sleeves
For the sleeve, cast on 40 stitches with knitting needles and immediately start with the rib of the main pattern. Knit with gradual increases. It is necessary to add pattern repeat in every 6th row. At a height of 45 cm, start decreasing from the sides for the armhole. The armhole will look like a raglan. The length of the armhole will be 15 cm. Knit to the required height and bind off the loops according to the pattern of the fabric.
Important! To make the closed edge smoother, close three loops of the fabric.
Assembly
Combine the fronts and make shoulder seams. Then sew in the sleeves; you will have to stretch the sleeves themselves a little.Tie the remaining loops of the front shelf by another 5 cm each and combine with a hidden seam along the back.
The model is ready, and you can try on this wonderful product with leggings or thin jeans.
Knitted sweater dress
Stylish and very comfortable. Everyone will like it who are so accustomed to valuing style and comfort in clothing. The sweater dress can truly be considered newfangled. It is not necessary to follow the fashion of too loose loops. Voluminous collars, in addition to high elastic bands, are also incredibly popular.
To work you will need:
- burgundy yarn with 50% merino wool is the thickest fiber;
- knitting needles number 4.
Measurements
All sizes of this sweater dress correspond to size 44 only. But it’s always worth playing it safe and knitting a small sample and counting how many stitches are needed for accuracy.
Front/back
The elastic will require 48 loops. The back and front are knitted the same way and according to the same pattern. The dress itself is a raglan model. Knitting occurs from below. You can get such a beautiful product very quickly and easily. The most interesting thing is that the additional use of strands of several colors with a smooth transition instead of burgundy thread will only make this model more popular.
So, we cast on 48 stitches and begin using a 2*1 rib to knit a very high and voluminous rib for the hem of the sweater dress. About 20 rows should be knitted for such an elastic band; you can add rows at your discretion. Next, move on to the stockinette stitch pattern. This is a very common canvas. Knit 30 cm in height from the beginning of the stockinette stitch. Now work on the second shelf, and for now put this product aside and use additional knitting needles.
Sleeves
The set for the sleeve is 24 loops, nnot counting the edge loops.Cast on the loops and make an elastic band as long as the shelves. Then the stockinette stitch pattern again. Knit the front stitch 20 cm in height, from the beginning of the front stitch. Repeat all manipulations for the second sleeve.
Raglan
Combine all the elements in their sequence on circular knitting needles and make circular knitting. For raglan, make two loops together (one from the sleeve, the other from the front) and again two loops together (these are front loops). Do this for each joint of parts and knit the same way in each circle. Knit approximately 15 cm.
Gate
Switch again to the 2*1 elastic band. Knit the collar without changing the number of stitches (except if you don’t get an even number for repeat), to a height of 20 cm.
Assembly
Make side seams along the front and along the sleeves. The product is ready and you can try it on. You may not find a more comfortable dress that is also fashionable in 2018-2019.
