In the cold season, the shirt front (crochet) can become an alternative to a scarf . The outline and description (for beginners) of some of them may seem complicated. But you can start with those that are easier. And when experience and a good skill appear, then the time will come for openwork delights.
Model 1: for beginners
Its manufacture is to tie a rectangle along the height of the neck and its girth. So, to get a shirt-front crochet (diagram and description for beginners) you will need to dial a chain of air loops. Their number depends on the length of the neck, that is, from the chin to the level of the clavicle. For a child, you can stay at 17.
The first row of the shirt-front: three lifting loops, 4 double crochets (SN) in the first loop of the chain, 3 half-columns CH, 10 single crochets (BN).
Second: one loop for lifting, 9 columns of BN, 3 half columns of CH, 5 columns of CH.
These two rows need to be repeated as many times as necessary in order to get a rectangle with which you can wrap the neck. You can make a small lap. This is useful for joining edges with buttons. On the lower edge of the product dial loops, making an extension. To do this, in each space between the rows, connect the column of CH, and in the arch of the aisle, two such elements should be obtained.
Now the shirt-front crochet (the diagram and description for beginners are presented in the article) should be tied from below with a beautiful pattern. This may be a drawing presented on the diagram, or something of their own, something that has already been mastered by a beginner needlewoman. The main requirement for the pattern: expansion to the bottom, so that the product smoothly fits the shoulders.
The top and sides of the shirt-front can be tied with arches of three air loops. Sew the right number of buttons along one of the edges, and use arches for fasteners. If the buttons are very large, then some arches can be made not from three, but from four loops.
This model is easy to modify. For example, make the neck longer so that it wraps on top. Or tie a longer lower part, then it will cover not only the neck, but also the baby’s chest.
Model 2: round for baby
The manufacturing process starts from the very top. A shirt shirt (crochet) for a child is described here, but it can be made of any size. Everything will depend on the number of loops typed at the beginning. A kid needs them much less than a teenager or an adult.
First you need to dial a chain of an even number of loops. Its length should be such that it is enough to wrap it around the neck. If you do not like too tight collars, it is recommended to tie a few more loops.
The first row will consist entirely of columns of CH. They only need one lifting loop. In the second there will be three of them. Then alternate the front and back embossed columns. This will be the first row of crocheted elastic.
Similarly, you need to knit a shirt front until you get a length equal to the height of the neck. At this point, it is supposed to make an extension for the shoulder part of the shirt front. For this, a uniform increase of 10-15 columns in one row is performed. Then we knit a shirt shirt (crochet) according to any pattern you like. The main thing is that it expands to the outer edge. It remains to connect it in a circle and sew buttons if necessary.
Model 3: Rectangular
Such a shirt-front begins (crocheting) for the child in the same way as the previous one. Only extensions do not need in front of the shoulder. Because it fits on the basis of raglan.
To do this, divide the entire resulting rectangle into four parts, so that there is the same distance between the four corners. In each corner, knit three air loops, and make the rows themselves from columns of CH. Continue knitting until a length is obtained that covers the shoulders of the child.
Then it is recommended to continue work only on the front of the shirt-front. It should cover most of the chest. Through the entire length of the junction of the product, you will need to sew on buttons that will help to put the shirt-front on the baby neatly and conveniently.
A fringe can be made around the entire circumference of the shirt-front. The simplest view is a fan of four columns of CH. But you can choose something at your discretion.
Model 4: openwork shirt for women
Their difference lies only in the fact that the product is larger than for children. In addition, the shirt front (crochet) for women looks more openwork. An example of such a pattern is presented in the figure.
Plus, you can still make lace trim along the upper edge of the shirt front. If the knitting of the elastic is tight enough, then you can leave no space for the buttons. So, it can be worn over the head, and not thrown over the shoulders.
Decoration Option: Flower
With it, any shirt-front (hook) will become individual. The diagram and description (for beginners) of the simplest flower are presented below.
On a ring of eight loops, connect a circle of BN columns. There should be 16. But between every two first of the three columns you need to make an arch of 9 loops. They will be the basis for the flower petals. On the indicated number of loops there will be six of them.
The second row of knitting gives the petals a shape. To do this, at the beginning of each petal, you need to run a column of BN. Then a half-column CH, 19 columns of CH, again one half-column of CH and complete with a column of BN. In the space between the petals, knit one single crochet.
The third row will be final. It completely consists of BN columns at each vertex of the previous row.
It is worth remembering that any decoration should be in place. If the product is already all in patterns and openwork elements, then even a small flower may be superfluous. But on the shirt shirt, consisting of only simple columns, he will be just right.
