Openwork dress “Angel”

The dress is knitted using the Shetland lace technique.

The Shetland pattern or Shetland motifs are truly an art that, fortunately, is back in fashion.

Initially, only shawls were knitted with Shetland motifs, but over time, craftswomen began to apply combinations of different patterns to other items of clothing, including dresses. And they were right. Dresses knitted with such openwork turn out to be elegant and amaze with their beauty.

Looking at this lace, it seems that they are knitted quite difficult, but this is absolutely not the case.

The only difficulty in knitting Shetland patterns is that you need to make yarn overs in all rows and make sure that they are done in the right places

If you knit, try this knitting technique, I'm sure you'll like it.

The dress is knitted according to patterns from the book “Heirloom knitting” by S. Miller.

No knitted dress can be knitted the same way, which means your model will always be exclusive. Knitting is quite difficult, it requires precision, attentiveness, and skill... but the result is worth it - in such a dress you can take a walk in the summer or go to an event in the evening...
