If you know how to knit, then you probably already know how to easily and quickly update your wardrobe with your skillful hands. Here is another option for you - knitted sweater-mesh. Even beginner needlewomen will cope with it, it is done very quickly, and there are just a lot of applications for it. And now about everything in more detail.
Choose material
A simple sweater-mesh, crocheted with your own hand, will not keep its shape well. It can stretch and deform, so find a thick thread if you need a decorative winter version, or one hundred percent cotton if you knit a beach cloak. Depending on your parameters and sweater patterns, at least two balls of thread and a suitable hook will be needed. That's all - you can get to work.
Simple option
The simplest grid option is this: first, you type in the right amount of air loops, which corresponds to the width of your product, and then begin to knit it. A double crochet and two air loops, then everything repeats again. Such small squares should turn out. The next row is knitted in the same way, although you can with an offset of one loop. The result will be a slightly different pattern, but the squares will not go anywhere. In just one evening you will get such a crocheted sweater mesh. There is no need for a special scheme, just knit a net that the soul will tell you.
French net
In this version, the only thing you need to be able to do is make air loops. Even an ordinary double crochet will not be needed. First, you also knit a strip of air loops to fit the size of the product, and then start the net. These are 5 air loops that are knitted with the bottom row through the same 5 air loops. Already in the next row you do not need to count the lower loops. You will simply knit these five stitches in the middle of the loop of the next. This pattern resembles scales. However, such a jacket-net, crocheted, is very mobile and does not hold its shape completely, although it takes about 40 minutes. How to wear such options, read the last section.
Double mesh
The main drawback of a regular grid is its transparency. This is not only not suitable for every figure, but simply does not always correspond to moral standards. Therefore, another option - a double grid - may be right for you. The crochet mesh created in this technique holds the shape better, looks unusual and does not shine through. Knitting it is also very simple, for this you will need 2 contrasting threads. The first, as they are used to, knit a grid of squares, the simplest. Then the second thread is used. You fasten it at the beginning of the row and knit the same net, only fasten the double crochets either in front of the canvas or behind it, as if weaving and crossing the threads. As a result, you get funny bricks of different colors. The pattern is unusual and non-standard.
How to wear
If you like crocheting, a mesh jacket can appear in your wardrobe in one evening. But far from everyone knows how to wear it. So here are a few options. You can put on a thin blouse on the beach instead of a pareo or cape. The same jacket is worn over a thin white T-shirt or the same knitted top to match. The shirt can be in a contrasting color, but always plain. The winter version of such a jacket is a voluminous shapeless hoodie made of thick thread. It can be either neutral or contrasting color. You need to wear it only on a tight bottom - a T-shirt, a sheath dress, a turtleneck. It will be both beautiful and functional - despite the large holes, the wool will still warm you in harsh winters. Such outfits look not only elegant, but also very playful and romantic, and most importantly, they will fit any figure.
