Crochet a summer shirt rather quickly. If there is not much experience, it does not matter. Unlike knitting, when the uniform density of the entire fabric and the same size of the loops are crucial, crocheting allows you to hide minor flaws of an inexperienced craftswoman. And any thing crocheted with thin threads always looks elegant.
The problems of inexperienced knitters
The problem for all beginner knitters is that they knit loops of different sizes. The pattern connected at the beginning differs markedly from the pattern of the last rows. A monotonous lace from different-sized loops does not look quite aesthetically pleasing. When crocheting, this trouble is easy to veil, if you combine different techniques in one thing - floral round motifs, openwork polygons, elements of Brugge and Irish lace, as well as linear patterns.
In order for a crocheted openwork shirt to work out well the first time for a knitter who first grasped the hook, the following recommendations should be followed.
First recommendation
Do not immediately grasp a large thing, such as a dress. You cannot tie it fast enough, and run the risk of postponing work until “better times”. And they can move very far. Enthusiasm will disappear and you will no longer even try. But crocheting is an excellent activity that calms nerves and develops creativity.
You should not start with a shawl either, because it is usually knitted in a large size with the same pattern. Consequently, uneven ranks or motives will immediately catch the eye.
A crocheted skirt is very beautiful, but you can’t wear it with every blouse, moreover, making a lining is not an easy task, and the size of the skirt is usually quite large.
Second recommendation
The first thing, knit from acrylic, polyester or other synthetic threads. This recommendation is due to the fact that natural yarn shrinks after washing. If you correctly calculate the number of loops according to your size, then after the first wash you will be surprised how much your shirt has changed and how short and narrow it has become.
Third recommendation
Before you begin, think of what you will wear a new thing with. If there are no special ideas, then focus on jeans. Each T-shirt is crocheted (a diagram with a description of the patterns is attached), of those that you see on this page, is the best suited for this case.
And further. Often, knitting a beautiful T-shirt, I want to continue working. You can tie a lot of different additions to the shirt that you can wear in the kit. This and all kinds of sweaters, scarves or shawls, as well as skirts.
The reason a beginner should start by knitting a T-shirt and not some other thing
The best thing for a beginner is a crochet shirt. A diagram with a description is given below. The shirt is knitted quickly, not a lot of threads are required, a lining for this thing is not required. One of the main advantages - during the knitting of the T-shirt you, as they say, beat your hand, that is, you will even out the tension of the loops and the density of knitting. Having knitted one small T-shirt, you will become a professional in crocheting any things.
Firstly - you will learn how to easily disassemble patterns with a crochet description, but without photos of the proposed samples.
Secondly, you will learn how to flatly, accurately, evenly and imperceptibly combine motives.
Thirdly, you will learn how to knit a wide variety of columns, patterns and deal with various techniques.
Irish knitting pattern
In our article you see photographs that depict a crocheted openwork T-shirt. The diagram describing the individual elements is clear and easy to implement. However, it requires great accuracy and accuracy when connecting individual elements. For this reason, this model can be recommended only to experienced craftswomen.
For a T-shirt you need to knit fourteen flowers and the same number of branches, and then combine them into a single fabric.
For a flower, tie a chain of ten air loops and connect into a ring using a connecting post. Tie this ring with twenty-five single crochet, then around this center tie eight petals.
For a branch, draw a chain of air loops about ten centimeters long, knit one single crochet into each loop. In the process of tying, make branches for the petals, and knit them in accordance with the scheme given in the article.
Before attaching to a T-shirt, all motives should be ironed to give them an even shape.
Bandeau is a good basis for a model of different types of lace
You can very quickly tie in a circle a kind of bando, consisting of only air loops and single crochets. To do this, a chain of air loops is knitted, equal to the length of the circumference of the chest and a multiple of five plus three loops. Locked into the ring using a connecting post. Next, five air loops, a single crochet in the fifth loop, again five air loops, a single crochet in the fifth loop, etc., to the end of the first circular row. Attach the last chain to the third loop of the first arch. Next, knit five loops and one single crochet in the third loop of the arch, again five loops, etc. Knit until the bando becomes the height you want from the waist to the armpits. In the area of the chest on the front, several arches should be made of six loops, then again knit five loops. This achieves the required volume in the right places. In the lower part from the waist to the hips, an increase in loops in the arches is also made.
Made in this way, you will get an adjacent silhouette of a crochet shirt for women with a well-defined chest shape and accented waist. However, for very full women, this option is not suitable. Crochet shirt for girls can be crocheted without increases. In any case, it will turn out quite elastic. On this mesh basis it is very convenient to sew Irish lace motifs. The resulting bando must be worn on a mannequin, placed motifs and sewn. The top of the shirt should be tied with one row of columns with pico. In addition, you need to tie two straps in columns with a crochet and fasten on the front and back. On the bottom edge you can snap a beautiful border.
A model of two large motifs connected from the center
T-shirts made of two large motifs are very good - one in front and the other in back. Such a summer T-shirt is crocheted, knitted from white threads, shown in the photograph. The upper part of the motif remains embossed, and the bottom of the shirt is tied around the entire perimeter with two or three rows of the main pattern.
The second model of two large motifs has wide straps. Due to this, it is longer and ends below the belt. Wearing it with a contrasting undershirt, you get an additional interesting effect. Just don’t wear flesh-colored underwear under a T-shirt with a very sparse pattern - this is not fashionable for a long time, therefore it looks vulgar. As well as a black bra under a white T-shirt. What is good in photography or on the podium does not always look just as complimentary in everyday life.
A model that hides the fullness and makes the figure slimmer
Crochet shirt for women who want to hide a little fullness should be free silhouette. The mint color model presented in our article will perform this task in the best way possible. Our shirt is tied with a pattern resembling vertical stripes. This visually increases growth and makes slimmer. Tie two identical rectangular panels, connect them on the sides and on the shoulders. You will get a very stylish crochet shirt. A diagram with a description of several patterns suitable for it is in front of you. This model can be knitted both in the transverse direction and in the longitudinal. In our case, it is tied across. It is not necessary to observe symmetry when arranging the bands. They can be made in different patterns. The main thing is that they create vertical lines.
Feature of choosing a model for a child
A crochet shirt for a preschool girl should be crocheted of cotton threads. It will be especially beautiful from Iris. These threads have a very beautiful sheen, do not sit and do not fade. You can safely take multi-colored skeins and knit from them. If the Irish technique seems complicated, then try to make an outfit of square motifs. Crochet tops and t-shirts made in this technique are also very good. The same round or polygonal motifs connected in series with each other create very interesting patterns. What should be a crocheted children's shirt? The scheme with a description of adult models is quite suitable for a child. A children's item should be more miniature, free, bright and less sparse than a model for mom.
