Knitwear is so sophisticated and comfortable that no other clothes can replace it. Confirmation of this is an openwork blouse. She knitted with needles or crocheted - it does not matter at all, in any case she will be very feminine and original. It combines romanticism, and tenderness, and sensuality. And if this is manual work, then it has a soul and is priceless.
Before you begin to work, you need to decide on the model, threads and knitting needles. It is especially important that they match each other in diameter. On the labels of skeins, they usually write recommendations for choosing knitting needles. How does an openwork blouse fit with knitting needles, a pattern of which pattern will fit the existing yarn, and which model is better to choose? Let's consider everything in order.
Calculation and start of work
Such a thing will look good if you select thin threads, and they can be with or without pile. Before a set of loops for the front panel of the sweater, you need to calculate how many are needed. This question becomes irrelevant only if the openwork blouse with knitting needles is knitted according to a clear instruction with the exact selection of the recommended threads. But if you knit from yarn of a different thickness, then you definitely need to make a sample.
So, how does an openwork blouse fit with knitting needles and how to calculate loops? First of all, we take the pattern scheme and knit one rapport of the main pattern. Next, measure it and, based on measurements of the circumference of the chest and hips (consider by a larger value), determine how many loops you need to dial. To do this, the half-girth is divided by the size of the rapport sample and rounded to the nearest whole number. Thus, we obtain the number of rapports for the front and rear paintings. An openwork blouse with knitting needles is knitted quite easily, although this process also contains some calculations. To create things you can use any pattern you like.
A sweater can also be knitted from a thick thread, only for it is better to give preference to simpler patterns and not wide rapports. “Holey” sweaters from mohair or angora look beautiful. And despite their loose knitting, they come out very warm. An openwork blouse crocheted according to the same principle: first - a sample and calculation; after - a set of air loops in volume.
Knitting process
On the bottom of the product often knit a strip of elastic. However, in a large number of models it is not provided. In this case, the work begins immediately with the main pattern.
An openwork blouse with knitting needles fits in fragments: a front panel, a back and two sleeves. The first two parts are knitted separately, each of them - in a straight line to the armhole, then form a cutout for the sleeve on both sides. On the neck, the loops begin to decrease according to the rollout of the selected model.
They work on the sleeves at the same time to make them as symmetrical as possible. Knitting begins with a small number of loops equal to the volume of the wrist, then make increases along the edges through the same number of rows. When the sleeve "reaches" to the height of the armhole, they begin the design of the okat, closing on the edges on both sides of several loops.
Knitting modeling
An openwork blouse can be made only with some fragments of patterns passing along or across the front canvas, or can be completely connected with an interesting loose pattern. Only the neck of the product or only the sleeves can be decorated with ornament. Patterned sweatshirts on buttons along the entire length or only near the neck look beautiful. Whatever the model, the main thing is that its hostess likes it and emphasizes all the advantages of a female silhouette.
