Mothers always dream of their children being beautifully dressed. Every mother wants to see her daughter the most beautiful. And a tunic knitted by mother’s hands will carry a piece of mother’s love. To give joy to both the daughter and the mother, who crocheted a tunic for a girl with her own hands. Today there will be a master class with a description, and it will be suitable even for beginner knitters.

Let's start creating

This is the lovely pattern we will be knitting today. It is suitable for a 2-year-old girl, older children, and even younger ones; to knit such a miracle you will only need to measure the volume of the head.

We start knitting a tunic with a yoke. It is knitted from flowers. It is very important to note that we must have an even number of flowers in the yoke, i.e. 10, 12, etc. And each individual flower must have 12 petals. This is what the floral motif looks like in the original, but we modified it a little in our master class (more on that a little later):

First row: we knit 24 single crochets into an amigurumi ring.

Second row: work 3 double crochets (dc) with one top of 3 single crochets. The diagram shows that the first double crochet is inserted in the same place where the last of the three double crochets of one group ended.

Third row: knit 2 sc, then 3 ch, then 2 sc. The motive is ready.

In the further process of knitting, we should not knit each flower separately, but will immediately attach the next one to the first flower.

Attach according to this principle: tie 2 sc into the arch, then 1 ch, join, 1 ch, 2 sc.

In this photo, white dots indicate the junction of the flowers. We need to have 3 vertices, we fasten them, 2 vertices are free, again 3 vertices are fastened and 4 vertices are free again.

Perhaps you will like the original execution of the floral motif, but in this master class the floral motif is slightly changed. And this makes the central hole look smaller.

The motive here is connected in this way. In an amigurumi ring, 12 single crochets (SC) are knitted, then the next row is knitted with 24 SC, in the 3rd row from 2 SC of the previous row, 2 double crochets (SC) are knitted in one vertex, then 3 air loops(v.p.). The result is the following motif (next to it is the original one for visual comparison):

First, let’s knit 10 flowers and try to see if our child’s head will fit. If it doesn’t work, then we knit 2 or 4 more motifs. Remember about an even number of flowers! The floral yoke should lie flat on the shoulders so that there are no folds, but you also need to take into account that there will be a binding on the inside.

You can calculate the diameter of a circle by knowing the circumference of the child's head. For example: the girth of the head is 50 cm. Divide by 3.14 - the number Pi and get 16 cm. This will be the minimum diameter through which the head will fit 50 cm. Based on these calculations, it turns out that 12 flowers are needed.

The diameter of the circle can be changed by changing the size of the hook, changing the threads, or, for example, tying double crochets in a flower. After all the calculations and the resulting yoke of flowers, we begin to knit further.

Here is a diagram of our tunic:

The diagram is read from bottom to top in this case.

Main mating

We tie our flower circle. The first row consists of air loops: for a small arch it will be 3 loops, for a large arch it will be 9 loops.

Next round: knit sc, constantly look at the pattern. It turns out that in the first arch there will be 3 sbn, and in the large arch there will be 9 sbn.

If, as in this master class, you initially have 12 flowers, then there will be 72 ticks, if there are 10 flowers, then there should be 60 ticks, if there are 14 flowers, then there will be, respectively, 84 ticks.

When knitting 12 flowers at this stage you will get 36 repeats.

Divide the knitting into front, back and sleeves. But you can also knit in original version 6 more rows are knitted.

How to divide a tunic into parts:

• 12 flowers (36 repeats), we get: 10 back, 8 sleeve, 10 front, 8 sleeve;
• 10 flowers (30 repeats), we get: 9 back, 6 sleeve, 9 front, 6 sleeve.

You can divide it based on your own discretion.

We knit the appendage on the back of the tunic. When the required number of rows of our yoke are knitted, let's turn it. We will knit the purl row with the main pattern, then turn and knit the front row again.

At the end of the row, finish with a chain of air loops. Such air loops should end both processes on the back of the tunic and in front. IN original scheme There are 12 air loops, but in this master class there are 8 loops.

When we attach a chain of air loops on the front of the tunic, the thread needs to be broken, but the attached chain on the back of the tunic will become the beginning of a new row, from where we will knit in the round, and in this place we will have a joining.

In the event that there are 8 air loops, and, for example, 16, you need to add 2 repeats.

After all the steps, continue knitting in the circle according to the pattern until the desired length.

In the original, additional rows must be entered every 2 rows. But in this master class, only two additions were made to the front and back of the tunic.

The completion of knitting in the original pattern looks like this:

For a sleeve where arrows are added 2 repeats:

Optional length:

This is how we will tie the neckline:
