Crochet tunic: patterns and description (for women). Summer openwork tunic crochet

Tunic is a versatile and modern wardrobe item that has become a favorite for many girls and women. In the broadest sense of tunics, clothes for the upper part of the body, reaching the line of the thigh, are called. The length of the model, decoration and technique can be completely different.

There are a large number of sewing and knitting options for tunics, which include sleeves or their absence, a tight or openwork cloth, the presence of a daily or festive decor.

In this article we will talk about what it is and how the summer tunic crochets. Schemes and descriptions of various models are offered with illustrations.

What yarn is suitable for knitting lacework?

When choosing the material for making clothes, it is first of all to pay attention to yarn with a high content of natural fibers. For summer things fit:

• Cotton.
• Linen.
• Bamboo.
• Viscose.
• Silk.

Why do many experienced craftsmen recommend exactly such threads for crochet crochet crochet? Schemes and descriptions for women (spokes performed models) also often assume the use of these materials, but the thread is applied a little thicker.

Many models are developed on the basis of optimal and average parameters, and natural materials are suitable for most people. They absorb the moisture well, let the air in, it's not very hot in such clothes.

Non-natural threads

In some cases, it is possible to apply blended yarn, in which artificial ingredients have been added to natural raw materials:

• Acrylic.
• Microfiber.
• Polyamide.
• Nylon.

If their content does not exceed 30%, the performance of the product will be determined by the material that prevails. These components impart strength, elasticity, gloss and lightness to the yarn. In addition, this significantly reduces the price of yarn.

Because of the negative effect on the skin and the inability to "breathe", do not use a 100% artificial thread for making a tunic hook. Schemes and descriptions for women, photos, instructions and recommendations, set forth below, are given for cotton threads of different thicknesses.

Knitting a Simple Casual Tunic

The photograph below shows a tunic with a straight silhouette.

The degree of complexity of this work is initial. This means that any master newcomer will easily get such an openwork tunic hook (schematics and a description of the sequence of execution proposed later).

As can be seen in the diagram, the details of the transmission, back and sleeves are rectangles. To determine how many rapports will be the width of each web, you need to tie a control sample from the selected yarn. Its dimensions should be at least 12 centimeters on each side. In this case, the calculations will be more accurate, and the associated openwork tunic crochet (schemes and description proposed for 44-46 size) will be just right.

When the sample is ready, you should measure it and determine how many rapports and rows occupy 10 cm in height and 10 cm in width. With a simple proportion, you can easily calculate the width of the parts. To knit tunics in the photo, six rapports for the details of the transmission and the backrest were used and four for each sleeve.

Beginning of work: knitting

Based on the calculations, you need to type the required number of air loops (VP). For this pattern, this number must be a multiple of 18, plus one loop at the edge.

The specific direction of knitting (from top to bottom) is a feature of this model of tunic (crochet), diagrams and description illustrate this. In the drawing, the direction is indicated by arrows. This aspect should be taken into account when stitching the parts.

Having knitted the canvas of the required length, the work is postponed and the next details are manufactured.

Tuning of tunics

The finished parts are sewn along the shoulder seams by 13 cm on each side. Then the side seams are made, leaving a 18 cm gap for the armhole. Next, sew the sleeve along the side and sew it into the armhole.

The connection of the parts is best done with a needle with the same thread that was used for crochet crochet. Schemes and descriptions for women do not provide a binding, but it can still be done along the edge of the sleeves and the bottom.

An interesting product is obtained if you perform a deep neck and a narrowed sleeve. Such models form a more elegant silhouette. A good example is the following figure, which makes it much easier to knit crochet tunic (diagrams and descriptions of parameters in centimeters are suggested below).

Also here is a variation of the pattern and simple strapping of the edge of the product. It should be performed after several rows of columns without a crochet.

Summer Crochet - Patterns and Description

Openwork, almost transparent products have always been popular for many years.

It's nice that simple models are still considered classics and continue to find their fans. Among the simplest summer tunic, you can name the product, bound by a single pattern. However, in the previous paragraphs, the principle of manufacturing a similar tunic with a pattern and description has already been given. Therefore, here will be considered a product, the details of which are collected from individual motifs.

How to place square motifs?

Of course, you can apply fragments of different shapes: triangular, round, hexahedrons and others. But squares are the easiest to model, especially beginners.

The openwork fragment becomes the main decoration of the tunic crochet. Schemes and descriptions for women, as a rule, suggest either to compose all the cloths from the squares, or to join them into strips and combine them with another pattern.

This model includes a simple mesh and large tracery motifs. On the bottom line, the fragments are arranged in three rows (a tying cloth), and on the sleeves they are a strip.

Separate mention deserves products consisting of one large square.

Most often this technique is used to knit spacious tunics by crochet, schemes and description for women are complete in repeating the last rows of motif the required number of times.

The process of making a summer tunic of motives

The photo below shows an openwork tunic, which consists of squares.

To make it suitable for any favorite masters scheme. A good example is such a square.

Also interesting are the fragments associated with these schemes. Repeat them is not difficult, with this will cope and the beginner skilled.

The details of the transmission and the back of the tunic are assembled from motifs interconnected in the process of knitting the last row. In fact, this produces a circular web, which in the form folded in half has the form of a rectangle.

Its width should be equal to half the girth of the chest, and the height - the length of the tunic to the armhole.

Knitters knit, starting with the details of the transfer, and sew on the back. Their width can be any: from one to ten centimeters. The final stage is the strapping of the product. It is important not to overdo it with the complexity of the pattern. If the squares have a rich ornament, the strapping should be simple.

What is the beauty of improvisation?

In such an exclusively applied form of creativity, like crocheting, rigid and unshakable rules is very small. For the most part, they concern the general appearance of the product, the correctness of its cut and proportions.

All the rest (color, texture, pattern, location of the elements of the ornament and their number) depends only on the knitter's imagination and her skill. The tunic depicted in the photo below is a perfect example of a non-standard creative approach to creating a model.

Here there are round motifs (flowers), one-piece openwork pattern and solid mating, which is used to fix the line of the bottom and armhole.

Alternating strips with different elements opens the possibility for adjusting the width of the web. This is true if the master is planning to knit the fitted model.

A special admiration is the solution, which is used to form the neck. Here, the principle of the formation of a Raglan sleeve with thin straps, characteristic of summer products, is connected.

How to properly handle a knitted tunic

Cloths made with the help of a hook are much denser than those that are knitted with spokes. They are less prone to deformation, but, although they are not stretched, shrinkage is quite possible. Virtually all natural materials can sit down with time, especially after washing in hot water.

Therefore, the basic rules for the care of tunics, crocheted, relate to the mode of washing and drying. The water temperature should not exceed 30 degrees, machine wash is contraindicated categorically, and it is better to dry such products in the decomposed form.

If necessary, iron the knitted tunic, it is better to perform through a layer of a thin damp cloth.

Conclusion

Guided by the above tips and recommendations, you can quickly connect the summer tunics crochet (schemes and descriptions for women are quite detailed). In this case, the pattern is easily replaceable, and models can be decorated with additional decor: knitted flowers, beads or embroidery.
