Skirt

 The upper part of the skirt is assembled from dense squares, and the lower part from filigree openwork elements. 

Finished weight with lining and elastic waistband – 628g.

Skirt pattern

To begin, knit a sample of the square motif according to the pattern and check that it matches the size indicated on the pattern. If you need to increase (decrease) it, increase (decrease) the number of rows, or use a hook of a larger (smaller) diameter. See the pattern picture for the dimensions of the product and the location of the motifs. Knit the squares, connecting them together during the last row with connecting stitches, or sewing them with thread using a needle.

 Fill the corners at the top of the skirt with shamrocks.

Then we knit the RLS belt, attaching it along the waist to the skirt and adjusting the fabric according to the pattern.

Next we make lace inserts.

Guided by the patterns, we knit motifs.

 To give relief to the middle motifs, we knit from fancy yarn and make a “crawfish step” binding to the finished elements.

Next, we place them on the pattern, focusing on the photo, or at our own discretion. We connect the motifs with each other and with the main fabric of the skirt with an irregular mesh. We sew the touching motifs together with a needle.

Blouse

The model is complex in its execution technique. It is impossible to copy it in detail, but using motifs and ideas, try to create your own model.

Blouse weight – 500g.

To begin, make a life-size blouse pattern, adjusting it to your size. Using the diagrams, connect the motifs of large flowers, round elements, trefoils and small flowers.
