You have decided to make a tunic with your own hands and create it not only unique and original, but also in the color and size you need, and you don’t know where to start? We will consider this issue in detail in our article, we will give all the necessary recommendations that will certainly help you in doing the thing.
What are tunics
Original tunics are knitted not only with knitting needles, but also with a crochet. They are made both from thick 100% cotton yarn, and from thinner threads of the same origin. It is from natural fibers that a beach tunic is crocheted. It turns out easy, "breathing" and simply irreplaceable at high temperatures. Such sweaters do not lose their original color and size, even with frequent wear, which is a definite plus.
Choosing the right scheme
There are a lot of patterns for knitting tunics. The choice will depend only on your skill level and on the model that you want to perform yourself. Remember only that if we crochet a tunic, then by all means according to the existing pattern. After all, only the correct execution of a thing will lead to a good result.
We crochet a tunic of a certain length and density
There are sweaters with a length just below the chest area, as well as tunics to the knee. It depends on the season in which you will wear the knit. For the summer, fishnet models with many holes are preferable.
The length of the tunic varies depending on the style. For winter, we crochet a tunic that is denser and longer, which will make the thing warm and comfortable in the cold.
Determine the true size of the sweatshirt
A tunic, like other things, is knitted in certain sizes, which are removed from a person in advance. To do this, use a centimeter tape and all the results are recorded in a notebook. Only after this, you can begin to set the air loops of the tunic crochet and to calculate the true size of the future sweaters. To do this, 10 cm air loops are drawn from the selected yarn. The rows are also knit to a height of 10 cm. From the result obtained, it is calculated how many air loops will be needed to set the entire product or half of it, and how many rows will be knitted in the end to obtain the required tunic length.
We knit a jacket and decorate at the same time
Widely known
summer tunics, decorated with beads and beads. The methods for entering these elements are different. This is sewing the beads after the end of the manufacture of the thing and knitting it directly when performing the openwork. The second method is the most practical and original. It allows you to more carefully fix the bead or beads on the tunic, as well as save on decoration elements. Also, this method looks simply amazing when knitting individual elements of a thing and is considered the most convenient for sectional knitting.
Finish the product
Remember, if we crochet a tunic, performing it with individual elements or shelves, then the product is considered finished only after proper assembly and stitching in certain ways. It is worth assembling the model with threads used in knitting. A needle or hook is usually used for stitching.
