A snowflake or princess dress will be a combination of two parts: a crocheted yoke and a tulle skirt. At the first stage of knitting, you need to calculate the number of loops for the yoke. This is the most difficult thing, and then go according to your idea, how you see a New Year's crochet dress with tulle for a girl.
First, let's come up with an image. Its basis will be the yoke pattern. I decided to choose a simpler option - a classic square yoke with raglan sleeves and fillet knitting. See the diagram below.
Master class No. 1: fluffy tulle skirt with a cover
Before you buy the material and start cutting it, you need to take two measurements: waist circumference and skirt length (for example, from waist to knee). Next, you will have to make some calculations:
- Add 5 cm to the length of the skirt.
- Divide your waist circumference by 3.14, and then divide the resulting number by 2. This will give you your waist radius.
- Add both values. Let's denote this number by the letter A.
If the addition result is less than or equal to 27, you will need a piece of soft tulle measuring approximately 6x1.7 meters
If the addition result is more than 27, buy 10-12 meters of tulle.
You will also need fabric for the base cover (it is better if it does not stretch and fray). To find out the length of the cut, multiply your full waist circumference by 1.5, and its width will depend on how long you want the cover to be.
Additional materials and tools:
- Wide elastic band, the length of which is equal to the waist circumference + 2 cm
- Measuring tape or tailor's meter
- Scissors
- Pins
- Sewing machine and thread to match the fabric
- Tracing paper
You can soften harsh tulle by washing, drying and ironing it.
Operating procedure:
1. Draw a semicircular pattern on tracing paper: - the white arrow indicates the radius of your waist - the black arrow indicates the length of the skirt
2. Cut out the template.
3. Fold the tulle piece in half lengthwise if the number A is less than or equal to 27. If it is greater than 27, skip this step.
4. Now fold the piece in half, like a book, and in half again to make 8 layers of fabric.
5. Pin all the layers together along the top edge of the stack and cut out all the pieces at once.
6. You should have 4 identical circles with a hole in the middle. If you don't have enough fabric to make full circles, you can cut out semicircular pieces and sew them in pairs.
7. Place the two circles together and baste them together along the edge of the center hole. Do the same with the remaining two circles.
8. Place both pieces on top of each other and mark with pins four points around the waist - on the sides, in front and behind. The pins should divide the circle into 4 equal parts.
9. Bring the ends of the elastic together and sew them with an overlap (2cm). Mark 4 dots on the elastic that match the marks on the skirt.
10. Fasten the tulle to the inside of the elastic and sew with a zigzag stitch.
11. Take a rectangular piece of fabric for the cover, fold it in half and sew the side edge. If the fabric frays, pre-treat its bottom edge with an overlocker.
12. Place a basting stitch along the top edge of the resulting “pipe”, then tighten the thread until the cover fits snugly around your waist.
13. Sew the cover to the elastic, placing it under the tulle layer. Trim the fabric along the bottom edge so that it is not visible.
Your skirt is ready!
The process of knitting a yoke
Next, we crochet the yoke back and forth according to the pattern.
The length of the raglan is limited to the child's shoulders. I stopped knitting when the width of the chest part became 19 cm. After that, I no longer knitted the sleeves, but knitted 6 rows of only the back and chest panels. Thus, I increased the armhole height sufficiently.
After that, I calculated how many loops were needed according to the circumference of the chest. To do this, we calculate OG (chest girth) = 52 cm and add a margin of 3 cm so that the dress does not become too tight. It turns out that the girth of the dress = 55 cm. This size corresponds to 55x9/2 = 247 loops.
Count the total amount of loops on the back and chest panels that are already knitted. I got 197 loops.
We count: 247-197 = 50 loops - this number of loops is not enough to close the yoke in a circle. Divide the number in half. We get 25 air loops that need to be picked up under each armhole to continue knitting the dress.
Tie the required height of the yoke. For me it ends under the bust, and after that there will be a tulle skirt.
Lesson No. 2: children's tulle skirt
Multiply the waist circumference by 2, add 5 cm to the length, and you will find out the cut size you will need for the base.
Now you can get started:
1. Sew both lengthwise sides of your cut using a zigzag stitch.
2. Lay the fabric out on the table. Fold the top edge in 2cm and smooth out the fold. Don't stitch the edge! Set this piece aside for now.
3. Lay out a piece of tulle approximately 2.5 m long in front of you. Cut it into ribbons of equal width (approximately 10-12cm). For each frill you will need 4 ribbons.
4. Sew 4 fragments into one long ribbon. Use a basting stitch so that when the work is finished the threads can be pulled out.
5. To make ruffles, set the maximum tension and maximum stitch length.
6. Fold one tulle ribbon in half lengthwise and stitch along the fold line. Repeat this process with all other ribbons.
7. Let's return to the base blank. Lay it out so that the ironed fold is under the fabric, on the table side.
8. Distribute the ruffles throughout the fabric and secure each ribbon. The first row can be laid along the lower edge of the fold (it can be felt through the fabric), and the rest can be placed parallel to the first, maintaining a certain interval.
9. Stitch each frill along its center line.
10. Unfold the fold on the base and fold the base in half with the frills facing inward. Trim off excess tape on the sides if necessary, carefully bring the edges of the base together and stitch.
11. Turn the edge of the fabric back towards you along the fold line and stitch along the bottom edge. Be careful not to overstitch the frill!
12. Turn the skirt right side out. Now you can pull the basting stitches out of the ruffles and thread the elastic into the waistband.
Tips for choosing
In order not to make a mistake in choosing an outfit, you should take into account your body shape, personal tastes and the occasion for which you are purchasing the dress. The best option that can correct your figure is a medium-length model that can be worn without any special occasion.
We recommend not very lush models in pastel shades that can easily be combined with things from a basic wardrobe. A dress with a short circle skirt visually increases volume, so it looks perfect only on very slender young ladies.
Instruction No. 3: model with large frills
This model is somewhat reminiscent of the previous one, but the frills here are larger and are located one above the other, like the scales of a pine cone.
1. Measure your waist circumference and multiply it by 3. Also measure the length of your skirt.
2. Cut out a rectangle for the base and overlock its top and bottom edges.
3. Turn the bottom edge of the base under and hem it.
4. To make scales, you must cut the tulle into strips of equal length and width (focus on the size of the skirt).
5. Next, for clarity, we will use a denser fabric, but remember that we are talking about working with tulle. Fold each strip in half. Do not smooth the fold so as not to lose the airy effect.
6. Having laid out the base on the table, take one of the parts and gather the forked edge into a “bun”. Attach the piece to the base in the place where the first scale should be and secure it with a pin. Place the next scale under the first, and so on until the bottom edge of the base.
When determining the location of the first flake, do not forget that you need to leave a little space along the upper edge of the base to trim it and insert the elastic inside.
7. If necessary, adjust the location of the scales, and then sew them to the base.
8. Having completed the first vertical row, proceed to the second, then to the third, until the scales cover the entire base.
9. Next, fold the base in half with the scales inward and stitch the side edge.
10. Fold the top edge of the warp towards you and hem it, leaving enough space for the elastic.
11. Insert the elastic and overlap the ends.

Master class No. 4: seamless skirt
You will need:
- At least 10 meters of tulle about 120cm wide
- A strip of fabric, the length of which is equal to the circumference of your waist + 10 cm, and the width is approximately 13 cm.
- A wide ribbon, the length of which is equal to the circumference of your waist + ties.
Operating procedure:
1. Lay out a roll of tulle on the table.
2. Measure 18cm from its outer edge and mark this point.
3. Continue making marks every 18cm until you reach the opposite edge of the cut.
4. Using the marks as a guide, cut the fabric into strips.
5. Take the strips one by one and, folding them in half, tie them to the tape as follows:
6. The closer the knots are, the fuller the skirt will be. Continue until you have filled the entire tape.
7. Tie the ends of the ribbon.
You can leave the skirt as is, using the ends of the ribbon as ties each time you wear it, or you can create a belt that will better define your waist and hide the knots.
8. Fold the strip of fabric you chose for the waistband in half and mark its center.
<
9. Do the same with the skirt - mark its middle.
10. Connect the fabric and the skirt at the marked points.
11. Next, continue pinning the edge of the fabric with knots along the entire length of the skirt's waistband.
12. Turn the skirt over and place a basting stitch just under the knots, catching the edge of the fabric that is now underneath, on the table side.
<13. Hem the unsewn edges of the fabric on all sides.
Length
The length of tulle dresses can be any, and the choice of the appropriate model depends on the specific situation, the tastes of the fashionista, her height and the characteristics of her figure.
So, a short fluffy skirt will suit a petite girl, but on a lady with above average height it will look ridiculous. When choosing between mini and midi, it is better for her to give preference to the latter option.
Long to the floor
A floor-length tulle model is not only a wardrobe decoration that creates an unforgettable holiday look. A fluffy multi-layered skirt can correct many shortcomings: hide too full legs, hide narrow hips, visually reduce broad shoulders. We advise short girls to avoid such outfits, no matter how impressive they look.
