Платье крючком — Цветная диагональ

Dress with a secret. At first glance, it seems incredibly “simple,” ordinary and unremarkable. However, this is absolutely not true. Contrasting colored diagonals perform several secret functions at once: they break up the cut line, thanks to which they slim the figure; hide if there is a tummy; straight, but not tight-fitting (again, another plus for the figure), etc. And the apparent simplicity of knitting again plays into the hands of the fact that it fits perfectly with any accessories.

Scheme of the main pattern from a Japanese magazine.

The dress is knitted from two rectangles. The width of the dress does not depend on the size - it is dictated by the pattern and the change of colors. I have 3 colors of yarn to form the top line and, accordingly, the beginning of the rectangle - 45cm.

Start knitting from the top corner of the rectangle. Using white, we cast on a chain of 43 VP and knit 10 rows according to the pattern.

Next, we attach a red thread and knit a chain of 23VP. At the end of the 11th row, we knit a chain of 20 VP using a separate red thread, and continue the 11th row. Next 10 rows according to the pattern from 11-20 rows.

The photo shows a red diagonal at the neck.

The third diagonal is black from 21 to 30 rows. The diagram shows the beginning of the black diagonal and the formation of horizontal and vertical lines in the future.

All other diagonals are knitted similarly according to the pattern. We knit a rectangle of any length.

My version of finishing the knitting fabric in the photo.

The fabric was finished by knitting a white square.

We repeat the second canvas. We tie both fabrics with RLS.

 The dress has two identical halves. Due to the diagonal - bias - knitting, the dress fits well to the figure.

To design the shoulder line, we knit squares according to the following pattern. Square size 5.5 x 5.5 cm.

 We connect the squares together while knitting the last row.

Next, we knit the squares between the fabrics along the shoulder line as follows:

In the final version, the insert on the shoulder is 9 x 13 cm.

At the same time we tie the neckline in a “crawfish step”.

In the original version of the dress, stripes of square motifs were woven along the side seams. In this case, the issue of the width of the dress is resolved. Motifs can be selected in any size.

 In the photo you can see the side “stripe”. The dress lasted for several years in this form.

The dress is indispensable for summer trips to the sea and in the city. The time had come and it had to be narrowed down. The vents have wide “straps” and received decorative seams on the sides. The connection diagram is as follows: * 2СН to one edge, 2СН to the other * (pictured).

Later I came across a beautiful joining stitch that can be used to join knitted fabrics.

We leave a side slit on one side and tie the hem and slits in a crawfish step.

We also process the armholes with a “crawfish” step.

The dress is ready! Thank you for watching!
