Base for sundresses

In this article I present to you a standard diagram used in knitting sundresses for girls.

The scheme is provided for sundresses whose owners are 1-2 years old.

The sundress can be knitted circularly or in parts. Circular knitting is indicated, in this case, the seams are avoided, which can sometimes cause small inconveniences to young ladies.

The bottom edge of the sarafan consists of 12 rows: 2 rows lazy stitch, 8 rows a certain pattern (Christmas Tree, the diagonal is useless, openwork lines, berries, rhombuses etc.), 2 rows lazy stitch.

On those 30 central stitches can easily knit a hemstitch pattern: twig with leaves, lily of the valley etc.. or why not an aaran model. As an example I present you a model of this kind in scheme no.2.

Decreases are made from both sides of the central model.
On the back side you can knit with jersey point, the decreases in meshes will be achieved in the same manner as at the front.

The neckline of the sleeve will be made in the 14th row of the upper part. Close from both sides by 4 stitches in every 2nd row after the first and before the last 4 stitches are subtracted 5 x 1 stitch.
The neckline is a bit different. On the front side will be made in the 31st row, closing 30 stitches from the center and knitting each part separately up to the length of the back side.

On the back side the neckline begins in the 37th row, closing 12 stitches from the center. Then each part will knit as another 3 rows. In row 41 all stitches are closed.
The edges of the neckline, of the sleeves and the lower sleeves of the sarafan can be finished with the help of the crochet with the pattern 'crayfish steps'.
Nothing complicated. It remains to be chosen the central model and the one on the bottom edge and increase the work!
