For the off-season, a beautiful crocheted openwork drape is ideal . The patterns of this element of clothing are quite diverse. But they were all created with one goal - to make a really beautiful and unique outfit that will distinguish a woman from the crowd, attract attention to her and at the same time warm her.
Threads, hooks and other little things
Everyone who is even a little familiar with knitting crochet techniques knows that it is completely impossible to exactly repeat the proposed product scheme and get the same result. And all because there are a number of factors affecting the work process.
Before we figure out how the drape is crocheted, with the schemes of which we will get acquainted, we recall that even the numbers of the working tool differ from one manufacturer to another. Someone hook number 3 will meet number 3.5, and someone - barely reach the specified size.
The thickness of yarn of different brands also varies. It can be a few millimeters, but for the finished product this is a significant difference. And also the professional skill of the knitter plays a role. Some craftswomen make the loops more dense, while others, on the contrary, stretch them greatly.
So it turns out in the end that crocheting a pelerine (we will consider the patterns) does not always lead to the creation of products with the dimensions indicated in advance. For a truly beautiful and unique product to come out, you need to connect all your imagination and your own vision of the finished drape.
Simple hexagonal drape
A beautiful crocheted openwork drape, the scheme of which does not have much difficulty, is knitted from the usual hexagonal motif. The only ambiguous point here is knitting not in a circle, but with a cut, which creates beautiful shelves in the product.
The pattern itself consists of alternating rows of simple double crochet columns and lush groups of the same columns with a common top. We start knitting from a chain of air loops of the desired length. The second row consists of single crochet stitches in each stitch.
Next, we divide the chain into 6 equal parts. In the third row we knit a double crochet, two air loops and again a double crochet in the third loop of the previous row. At the end of each part, we knit in the same loop 2 columns with a crochet with two air loops between them.
In the next row, 3 double crochets are knitted, while they are combined by a common loop. The expansion of the canvas is obtained due to the angles at which 2 elements are knitted at one point.
Round drape
Most often, a drape is crocheted in a circle. The schemes of such products are extremely diverse. Therefore, for starters, consider the main principle of their creation. Before us is the simplest scheme of a round motive. To make a drape out of it, we collect not 6 loops into the air chain, but as much as necessary to make the neck. We close the chain and begin to knit in a circle.
The pattern here is quite simple: from one point 2 double crochet, an air loop, two double crochet. So we knit several rows. Then gradually add between the groups of columns, first 1 air loop, then another one. We continue to knit until the product reaches the desired length.
On this basis, it is easy to crochet a cape, the patterns of which are nowhere to be found. For example, instead of two columns, we knit three and not at one point. You can combine groups of columns with a common top loop. And another interesting option is to alternate the double and double crochet. Get beautiful waves. The main thing is not to forget about the expansion of the canvas.
Openwork fans
It does not have to be as simple as a crocheted pelerine. With schemes of a more complex level, let's try to figure it out now. The pattern is built on the basis of individual motifs that are knitted simultaneously in a continuous canvas.
Traditionally, we start with a chain of air loops. We knit the second row as in fillet knitting: a double crochet, an air loop, a double crochet in the second loop of the previous row. Next, we proceed to knitting a separate motive.
We retreat 9 cells from the edge, knit 5 air loops and connect them to the fifth cell from the beginning. We knit the second row in the opposite direction with crochets. The third and fourth - fillet knitting, only in the fourth we carry 2 double crochets from one point. Gradually bring the number of columns to 5. At the same time, do not forget to connect the beginning and end of each row with the base of knitting. In the last row, we knit all the posts with a common top, and between them we collect 10 air loops. When 1 motive is ready, move on to the next. In this way, a crochet shawl-drape is obtained . The scheme of work on it is not easy, but the result is worth it.
Drape of motives
Many craftswomen love to work with individual motives. In this way, a crocheted openwork drape will also turn out. The scheme of a separate motive determines the entire appearance of the product. Therefore, you should carefully select it.
A round drape is best made from hexagonal or octagonal elements. They combine perfectly with each other and make it possible to gradually expand the finished canvas, without which a round drape is impossible.
We will not analyze the specific scheme, since each craftswoman has her own set of favorite motives. The main thing is to understand that they will make an excellent drape. Crocheted circuits are always easy to adapt to specific needs. Therefore, there is always the opportunity to experiment.

This model is suitable for those who are interested in extravagant crocheted pelerines. The schemes and description of the model are quite simple, the main thing is to understand the principle of working on it.
The basis of the drape is a square motif. It fits from columns with several crochets and air loops between them. We start with a double crochet and three loops. The number of columns should be a multiple of four, because they will form the square itself.
In the subsequent rows, slightly increase the number of yarn and air loops and leave their number until the end of knitting. At the same time, we increase the number of air loops near the corner posts. Due to this, we achieve the effect of expansion. At the end of 4 ready-made motifs we combine in one drape.
Age preferences
The models we have examined are oriented more toward adult women. But if you need a drape scheme for a girl, you can recreate it with a crochet from any of the options we have examined. It is not a matter of specific schemes, but of the size of their execution. In addition, we urge you not to be afraid to experiment and create something unique.
If you use this approach, you will definitely get a beautiful crocheted drape. Schemes for this will only become a general guide. And such details of clothing will delight both little girls and adult fashionistas.
