In summer, I want to look beautiful, fresh, stylish, not like everyone else, and at the same time make clothes comfortable in the heat and pleasant to the body. An excellent solution can always be things crocheted or knitting.
Handwork is becoming a trend again. Having mastered the technique of knitting, you can create unique exclusive things, for example, an openwork top with knitting needles or crochet, summer dress or cardigan. Vests are very fashionable today. They can be short, elongated or long, to the floor. All this variety of summer clothes can be knitted or crocheted in any technique. A special moment is the choice of yarn.
Yarn selection
For the summer, things made of natural cotton are perfect. Cotton yarn is good for knitting openwork tops with knitting needles or crochet, vests, cardigans, dresses and skirts. Such yarn can be mercerized, (or even double mercerization) that is processed with a special compound that gives it certain qualities: gloss, elasticity, silkiness. Or maybe ordinary, then the thread is soft as cotton wool. This is a matter of taste. Ordinary cotton is more suitable for knitting needles, but for a hook it is worth choosing a thread with mercerization.
It is important to choose the thickness of the thread. It should not be thick, since we are talking about summer things, but you should not choose a very thin thread to knit. The best option here is yarn 100 meters in a 50-gram skein. If desired, thinner yarn can also be used, but it is better to prefer a thicker thread for things in the autumn or winter season, since they can look rather heavy.
You will get a very interesting, stylish product if you knit an openwork top with knitting needles made of linen yarn. But you need to consider that it is slightly rough, and sensitive skin will not be very comfortable. If you wear it over a T-shirt, then this is a good option for a summer top, but for vests and tunics that are planned to be worn a priori over any clothes, such yarn is very suitable.
Another, no less interesting option is silk thread. Any knitted products from it will look amazing. Moreover, this yarn is very tender and will even chill in the heat. But here there is one nuance, it is quite difficult to work with and it will be difficult for beginners to cope with a slippery thread. But in general, she lies in the knitting very beautifully and neatly. Silk thread is relatively expensive, but there is also a cheaper alternative to this quality of yarn - viscose.
Knitting any openwork top with knitting needles for women or for girls is an excellent option for clothes in the summer heat, especially if it is made of viscose. This amazing thread in knitting is quite simple, and the product turns out to be beautiful, delicate and pleasant to the body. That for hot sunny summer days will be very helpful.
Women's knitting tops
To tie openwork top with knitting needles - a great solution to the summer. Such a thing can be combined with any bottom: trousers, shorts, skirt. If you make it elongated, then you can wear it with leggings.
The basis of knitting should always be a pattern. After the style is defined and measurements are taken, it makes sense to draw a full-size pattern and check it with the knitting process. Then the thing will definitely sit perfectly. As a pattern, you can use any favorite thing that suits and is worn for a long time.
Then you can choose a suitable lace or even think through a combination of patterns. You can use any ready-made idea of the top or change and supplement it with your own special ideas.
