There are many interesting ones knitted patterns for girls knitting needles. Pullovers, dresses or skirts, knitted according to the descriptions given below, are easy to work with and very effective. For a child of 3-4 years old, very little material and time is required for work.
Dress
For a dress made with knitting needles, it is important to choose the right threads in terms of composition and length. Each specific model usually comes with recommendations that are important to follow. Usually, a thin thread is not required. For openwork and jacquard, it is better to choose thin yarn.
For children's models knitted with knitting needles for girls with a round yoke or raglan on top, it is better to use knitting needles on a fishing line. You can start working with short knitting needles of 40 cm, and if the model is to be expanded, you can switch to a longer fishing line of 60 or 80 cm.
If the dress is knitted in the round, the sleeves will have to be knitted on 4-5 knitting needles, so you will need a set of double-pointed knitting needles. The composition of the yarn may vary. For children's models, it is important to choose a non-prickly, soft and wrinkle-free thread. The table below shows approximate characteristics of yarn for a child's dress.
| Compound | Footage | No. of needles | |
| For summer models. |
| Not thinner than 300 m per 100 g, and not thinner than 200 m per 100 g. | 2.5 or more, depending on the knitting density. |
| For winter and demi-season models. |
| Not thinner than 300 m per 100 g, and not thinner than 100 m per 100 g. | 2.5 or more, depending on the knitting density. |
We knit for children with knitting needles for girls 3-4 years old, usually from thinner yarn.
If it is wool, then it is worth choosing alpaca or merino, which are recognized as the softest and most pleasant to the body. It is advisable to choose wool yarn with additives, for example, with silk or viscose, cotton. Such a thread is softer and more delicate.
The following descriptions of the models are made from yarn from the DROPS company. These threads are of high quality, but their cost is quite high. You can focus on the recommended footage and composition and choose a more budget yarn.
It is better to choose metal or wooden knitting needles. Metal ones are very strong. The thread slides well on them. If the density of the work is high, then it is better to choose them. If the knitting is rather loose, then you can choose wooden needles. They do not allow the thread to slide and make the work more dense.
