Among the variety of summer knitted clothes on hot days, the clear favorites are tops. They are divided into two types: either it is a bodice that complemented the canvas, or it is a knitted fabric in which they focused on the decor. Crocheted bodice, patterns and description of which will be reflected in this article, recently has become no longer a detail of women's clothing, but rather an element of the wardrobe. They had already stopped hiding him. On the contrary, attention is focused on it thanks to the originality of knitting and decoration.
Bodice shapes
A crochet bodice, the schemes and description of which will be given in this article, can be made exclusively according to individual sizes. It is quite suitable for those ladies who have impressive breasts, and for those who have it miniature. And depending on what kind of craftswoman likes best, and on what are the physical data of the woman who will wear this bodice, a certain knitting technique and her shape are chosen.
As a rule, experienced needlewomen believe that crocheting a bodice (patterns and description will be presented) should be done using a regular single crochet or with a single crochet. Thanks to such knitting, the fabric will be much denser and will withstand the required shape.
You can find a lot of different forms that will be suitable for the bodice as an independent type of clothing, as well as part of a dress or a neat topic. A triangle shape is usually used and a rectangular canvas is draped. The difference is only in the way of knitting different parts.
Three quarters
Quite often, a crocheted top-bodice (a diagram and description will help you figure out how to do it right) is knitted in a way called 3/4 square. There are several ways to use it:
1. The classic version. The cup can be knitted from the widest part upward. When the work is done, the small sides need to be tied together. This gives the volume of the bodice detail. The seam will be under the chest and will be a tuck.
2. You need to dial the desired number of air loops and knit the fabric using increases in the midline. After that, you can tie the line of the gap, and the finished bodice is sewn to the dress or top.
3. The bodice consists of small square details. Moreover, there can be only one part, and maybe three. The bodices that are knitted from classic squares knitted only to the middle look rather unusual.
From the middle
A good choice would be a bodice, which consists of three triangles, and it is connected from the middle.
Crocheting such a bodice of the dress (the diagrams and description explain in detail how everything should be done) is quite convenient to knit, and just pick up the patterned patterns themselves. And triangles can be connected with lace fillet viscous.
In order to make the cups more convex if necessary, their edges should be tied with columns without crochets, which should be slightly smaller than the side loops. So the edges of the face will be tightened, and the necessary shape will be achieved.
Openwork
Another option - the bodice is fully openwork. As a rule, it is knitted in a circle, starting from the middle. Just like working on a napkin. In this case, the convex shape will not work, so the craftswoman chooses: leave it as is or gently tie it with a hook.
A knitted top can be connected to the dress with the same threads with which it was made. And you can make the bodice of the swimsuit crochet (diagrams and description will tell you how to do it). In such a swimsuit, any girl will be one of the most beautiful on the beach.
Underwired bodice
If the craftswoman wants the bodice to be crocheted (diagrams and description make it possible to figure out what and how to do) to be more voluminous, then it is possible to knit the bodice underwire.
For this work, you will need: bones, for knitting, take a knitted mesh, cotton (stretch), a hook, a needle and sewing threads that are suitable for color will fit.
First you need to find out the length of the bones and cut off a suitable (considering the bending) knitted tape. Before you start stitching, the mesh folds in width in four layers - in half. Now wrap the bone with material and sew with a simple needle. At the end of the work, cut off the excess tissue.
In order to continue the work as conveniently as possible, it is necessary to prepare a ready-made bodice, in which the necessary cup will be as a sample. The number of air loops is not difficult to calculate yourself, based on the pattern and density of knitting.
Thus, you need to crochet the bodice. Schemes and a description of the workflow are presented in this article. The cup consists of a top and a lower petal. Just from the bottom and you need to start work:
- three air loops are drawn, a single crochet is made into the middle loop - in such a simple way a triangle is obtained;
- since the lower petal is knitted from the inner corner of the bra, the size that should be obtained is verified using increments;
- when the work comes to the middle, you do not need to add loops, knitting goes in one line;
- Next, you need to make a narrowing along the cut of the bodice.
The sample must always be in front of the eyes, it is necessary to check with it all the time, applying each row to the product.
End of work
The upper part of the cup must be knitted without any increases, strictly in a straight line. The craftswoman chooses the pattern as desired. The height of the upper part depends on the individual characteristics of the woman.
To insert the prepared bones into the cups, five to seven rows additionally knitted, made with a single crochet along the lower edge of the work, are useful. The bones must be wrapped in the bottom rows and hemmed with a regular thread.
Now the finished product can be decorated - tied with additional details or beautiful patterns. The cups are interconnected by beads or ribbons knitted from the same yarn as the product itself.
