Such products have long occupied pride of place in the fashion world, embodying the boldest thoughts and desires of designers. You can easily find images of models, which, according to the idea of a couturier, put on knitted things.

Before you begin to implement your ideas in practice, you need to decide how you will knit a summer sarafan. If you want the finished product to be as thin as possible, then you should give preference to the spokes. And if you want to have in your wardrobe a beautiful openwork thing that, moreover, will perfectly keep its shape, then choose a hook. In addition, in this case, you need to choose the technique of knitting: a solid cloth, ribbon or Irish lace. If you are not very good at crocheting, then you should give preference to the first method. The last two will allow you to create a unique thing that is not in the wardrobe of any woman.

Now you should choose the thread. To do this, you need to choose the pattern and style of the finished product. If your summer sarafan will have a bodice, then it is better for him to pick up threads that are identical to cotton-stretch. For the rest of the product, select the thread of your choice. Of course, you can use threads of the same composition and color when knitting. In this case, when crocheting, you will have to carefully observe the size of the pattern, because the finished product will not stretch well and, accordingly, take the shape of your body. In addition to the composition, pay attention to the color. It is not necessary to make such a product monophonic, especially if you decided to tie it to a little girl. You can always find a beautiful combination of contrasting colors.

In addition to the thread, it is also worth buying materials for finishing. These can be satin ribbons, beads and other elements. If the finished product will fit tightly around the figure, be sure to buy a zipper.

After you have the necessary tools and materials, you can begin to knit a summer sarafan. How and in what order you will do this, depends on the chosen style and technique of knitting. Very often crochet of a single canvas starts from the top. In this case, the bottom edge of the finished product will have a beautiful openwork form. If the sarafan knits in the technique of Irish or ribbon lace, then for the beginning it is necessary to connect the necessary number of elements, which then will be connected by means of an openwork mesh or sewed with ordinary sewing threads. Everything will depend on your imagination.

When knitting with knitting needles, the product can be knit from above as well as from below, as required by the style. Often there are both directions in one product. In this case, knitting starts at the waist level in both directions. In this case, the loop set line must be somehow decorated. The lower edge of the finished product, knitted with knitting needles, can be tied with a crochet to prevent it from stretching during socks.

Thus, do not think that you can only sew a sundress. Such a knitted article can become the pride of any fashionista!
