Product Features

The master works only with the yarn, which is painted with natural dyes - the threads are painted according to old recipes. This feature gives the dresses a special value, especially in the conditions of mass production of the same models.

For the development of one model, the master takes about a month, each dress is only a few colors. To have a dress from Montoro in your wardrobe is a real luck.

However, not every fashionista can acquire such an outfit - the queue behind them is built for months ahead. To tie this dress crochet is the perfect solution for someone who wants to have an unusual model in his wardrobe!

Dresses for dresses

For knitting dresses, the Montoro pattern uses simple. However, due to the repetition of simple motifs and lines, the products have an unusual light silhouette.

At first glance it seems that it is almost impossible to tie such a dress, not having an exact scheme from the master. However, if we consider the work closer, it becomes clear that even novice masters can repeat the work of the needlewoman.

The length of the dress of Vanessa Montoro depends on the number of repeating rows. Having connected several repetitions, it is possible to get the product to the height of the knee, and when repeating more than 10 rows - create a magnificent evening outfit.

The basic patterns that are used in the works of Montoro are the repetition of the motifs assembled together. Knit them can be uninterrupted or collected from the finished parts. In any of the variants, the basic rules of knitting will be the same.

Using the technique of Montoro, you can knit unusual things not only the classic silhouette, but also more sporty, modern - with an open back, shoulders, asymmetrical, with pleats or lush skirts.

Rules of knitting motives

Having chosen the motive, first of all it is necessary to do a number of actions:

• Connect the test motif with the selected crochet and yarn;
• Wash the sample and dry it;
• Steam off;
• To measure the size of the sample after heat treatment;
• Measure the density of knitting - measure how many rows are obtained at 10 cm;
• Dissolve the thread and measure the length of the segment.

These manipulations are necessary to make it clear how much yarn will go to the sample, how many such motifs are necessary for knitting.

Carrying out of measurements

To tie a crocheted dress out of motives is easy. First you need to make a pattern. The result is worth the effort and time.

To create a dress pattern, you need to take out standard measurements that are taken to sew a dress on the sewing machine: chest girth, girth under the chest, the height of the back to waist, the height of the back of the product below the waist, the height of the transmission to the waist, the height of the transmission below the waist (length of the product) , The width of the shoulder from the base of the neck to the end of the shoulder, the height from the armhole to the waist.

Based on these measurements, a simplified pattern is drawn up - a schematic image of the dress is drawn on paper according to the measurements taken.

You can do it easier and use a ready-made dress to build the pattern. It must be ironed, and then - penciled on paper and use the resulting silhouette as a pattern.

Having the sizes of the sample available, it is possible to calculate how much it is necessary to relate the motives, so that they can be laid out before and the back of the dress.

For example, if the motif is 5 x 5 cm, and the waist width is 65 cm, then 13 motifs should be laid out in a row in order to get a full girth of the waist. Since the two motifs will be used as side motives, the workpieces are laid out so that the back is 1 motive more to the left, and on the front - to the right.

The same calculations are made for all other sizes.

Depending on whether it is possible to link all the motifs with a hook of the same size, choose the tool. Probably, in the process of work, it is necessary to connect several elements of a smaller crochet in order to achieve the necessary ratio of quantity and girth in centimeters.

Knitting Dresses

Dresses by Vanessa Montoro are filled with lightness and grace. All models are tiered. For knitting you can use simple schemes, tying them on the basis of a fabric made by columns with a crochet, or weaving together with a hook.

Using the scheme of azhur, it's easy to get not only a dress. In this way, even a skirt can be connected. Vanessa Montoro often makes up her products from alternating stripes, made with different patterns. This severity, combined with ease, gives her works an unusual charm and sophistication.

The schemes use standard images that are understood by needlewomen from all over the world:

• + - column without crochet;
• Empty circle - air loop;
• A vertical line with several inclined lines - a column with crochets (the number of cusps depends on the number of inclined lines);
• The dark point is the connecting column.

Dress of Leonora model

Each dress of the needlewoman has its own individual name. This helps fans to navigate in models. Experienced masters replicate the works of Montoro and become owners of exquisite things.

In the dress of "Leonora" Vanessa Montoro uses again several kinds of schemes. Each scheme is knit in a separate section of the dress. Due to this, the model has a delicate coquette that emphasizes the breast, an effective hem, giving the hips a smooth bend.

The finished dress does not get rid of anything else. But many needlewomen repeat the experience of the master and knit products from complex yarn - with the addition of beads, lurex, from the finest silk.
