Modern fashion changes periodically, but at its peak are always things knitted by the hands of masters. Always exclusive and amazingly beautiful blouses for women, made with a crochet hook. This article presents knitting patterns for some patterns and original models of women's blouses, tops, cardigans and jackets.
Crochet blouse made of motifs
The most diverse ideas for knitted blouses can be realized using the technique of individual motifs.
They are:
- square;
- round;
- triangular;
- diamond-shaped;
- polygonal.
Correctly selected variants, as well as their combination with a solid pattern, will help solve all problems with figure flaws: hide defects and emphasize advantages. The color combination helps to significantly expand the range of application of this type of clothing.
From square motifs
The crochet patterns for women's blouses presented below are both easy to execute and require attention. Their simplicity lies in the simplicity of the patterns and knitting of individual squares.
But care is needed when performing the coupling between the motifs and connecting them into a finished product. Now you should determine what yarn is suitable for light summer blouses.
Its spectrum is wide:
- cotton (cotton);
- cotton with viscose admixture;
- cotton with added lavsan;
- cotton with silk fibers;
- cotton with elastane content;
- cotton with lurex inclusions;
- linen yarn with admixtures of synthetic fibers;
- acetate yarn;
- silk threads.
The hook numbers for knitting from such types of threads vary from 1 to 3 depending on the thickness and twist of the yarn. The density of the knitting pattern is also of great importance. It is different for each needlewoman.
If there is a need to change the density of the pattern in accordance with the model, then for denser knitting it is recommended to use a smaller hook number, and to give the pattern looseness and openwork, choose a thicker hook.
Returning to the consideration of the process of joining square motifs, it should be noted that its ease is in the fact that when connecting squares, no free space is formed between them. There is no need to fill it in during further knitting.
It is important to make a sample of the chosen motif before starting work.This will ensure the necessary correct calculation for the further process. It may have to be redone or another one selected depending on the size and measurements taken. You need to be prepared for this.
To knit a summer women's blouse, you need to take the following measurements:
| Measures | Measurements |
| Chest girth II | By the protruding points of the mammary glands. |
| Waist circumference | Around the waist |
| Hip circumference | Along the most protruding parts of the hips through the protruding parts of the buttocks. |
| Front width | This is the distance between parallel vertical lines drawn from the armpits upwards. |
| Back width | It is performed in the same way as the previous measurement. |
| Neck circumference | Measure at the base of the neck. |
| Shoulder width | Start measuring from the base of the neck to the most prominent point of the shoulder, if the neckline of the garment passes through the base of the neck. |
| Armhole height | Measure from the highest point of the shoulder joint down to the armpit plus a small allowance. |
If the model has a sleeve, additional measurements should be taken:
- long sleeve – wrist, elbow, arm in the armpit area;
- ¾ sleeve - arm circumference at the level of the bottom of the sleeve, the rest is similar to the previous one;
- short sleeve - arm circumference at the level of the lower edge of the sleeve, then the process is similar to the above.
After taking measurements and making a sample of the motif, you should determine how many full squares fall on the largest measurement of the girth. This can be either the hip girth or the chest girth. The ideal option would be if the resulting measurement falls on an even number of motifs.
If you get an odd number, it's not scary either. Since, in general, the canvas from motifs does not have clear side seams, an extra square can become half-squares for the front and back. The main thing is not to get confused later and carefully determine the location of the armholes and neck.
Having selected a suitable element and determined its quantity, you can start knitting the blouse. If it becomes necessary to smooth out the corners formed during the work, you should knit half-motives according to the same patterns, but dividing it in half diagonally. Fill the necessary areas with the resulting details and knit the finished product.
From round motifs
Crocheting summer blouses for women can be done using round motifs, examples of patterns of which are presented here.
They are not difficult to make, but, unlike square motifs, such a canvas requires additional filling of the inter-motif voids. This is done either in the process of coupling the motifs or with separate elements.
Another difficulty in knitting items from round motifs is the inconvenience of maintaining the accuracy of the pattern. Experience is required to match the drawing and the knitted item. Depending on the model, you can also use half-motifs.
Elements can be connected both in a geometric, symmetrical order, and chaotically, combining them with other patterns and motifs. or other knitting techniques. For example, the central part of the front can be decorated with a large round openwork motif in the form of a flower, and the rest of the fabric can be made with a solid, but not dense, small pattern.
The same option of introducing round elements is possible on the sleeves or back. A knitted yoke from a set of round motifs will attract attention to the top of the blouse, so this model may suit plump women. Also for them, an option of longitudinal alternation of stripes of round elements and a small openwork pattern is possible, which will visually add height and slimness to the figure.
As a decoration, round motifs can be used along the edge of the product and sleeves. For plump women, it is not recommended to use knitted products with motifs of too large elements, since in the finished form such a thing will increase its size even more.
The play of color also plays an important role in creating the desired image. Light and pastel colors are perfect for women of medium and thin builds. But for a curvy figure, it is recommended to use several colors.
For example, if the model or style requires the product to be made in one color scheme, then you can use yarn of the same color, but different shades. Basically, a lighter tone is used for knitting the central part of the front and back of the blouse, but it is advisable to knit the side parts from dark-colored threads.
This will visually highlight the center of the figure and slightly muffle the silhouette on the sides. When using contrasting colors, it is advisable to highlight the center in a brighter color.
From triangular motifs
The crochet patterns for women's blouses, presented below, are made up of triangles.
Unlike square and round motifs, they have more options for connecting them together:
- into a polygon;
- striped;
- into a geometric pattern.
From such elements you can knit the whole product, or use them as separate compositions or as decoration.
The coupling of motifs can be done by the sides or by the vertices of the triangles. These elements, as well as the square ones, are more convenient for maintaining the accuracy of the pattern and do not require additional filling of the inter-motif voids. They suggest a large number of different color solutions.
From Japanese motives
Japanese motifs are the same squares, but made in a smaller pattern, in accordance with national culture:
- To knit a summer women's blouse of the presented model, first of all you need to choose a suitable square motif. Its scheme is presented below.
- Then you need to make patterns for the front, back and sleeves in full size based on the measurements taken.
- Determine the required number of complete motifs and make their blanks. This should be done in the case when the connection of elements is carried out at the end of the work. If the coupling is carried out during the knitting process, it is necessary to follow the layout grid on the patterns.
- To create smooth lines for armholes and sleeve caps, the patterns should be made according to the following diagrams located below.
- After all the necessary elements are ready, they need to be sewn together according to the patterns. Then the parts need to be steamed.
- If the fabric is one piece, steam it and the sleeve parts and sew them in.
- Tie the edges of the product with a border according to the pattern.
- Perform final wet-heat treatment of the blouse.
Summer blouse with openwork pattern
Crochet patterns for women's blouses, one of which is presented below, is a one-piece summer blouse with a side fastener.
The model is interesting because it is made with a simple pattern and has no seams. It should be knitted not from the bottom up, but from left to right. Before you start working, you should take the necessary measurements of the figure. For the initial stage of knitting this blouse, you need a measurement of the upper arm circumference.
Having previously determined the density of the pattern, calculate the number of loops to be cast on:
- Knit a chain and complete 1 repeat in height according to the pattern.
- When knitting the last row, on both sides you should add a chain equal to the length from the armpits to the bottom of the product along the side seam.
- Then continue knitting to a height equal to half the waist circumference (since the blouse is shortened).
- At the same time, it is necessary to make the neck. To do this, in the area of the shoulder seam and at the beginning of the cut, you need to take the second skein of yarn and, connecting it with the second half of the fabric, knit the front and back from two skeins. After reaching the required length (width) of the neck, return to one thread again and continue working, symmetrically to the lower part.
- Finish the fabric with two rapports in height, the width of which is equal to the circumference of the arm at the top.
- Sew the left side seam and the sleeve seam.
- Sew the right seam of the sleeve, and decorate the side seam with a piping fastener, made with one pattern repeat according to the same scheme.
- Sew on buttons.
- Carry out wet-heat treatment of the product.
This style of blouse will perfectly emphasize the slimness of the figure and will go great with fluffy skirts.
Airy blouse with Bruges lace
The presented model of a blouse, made of Bruges lace in combination with an openwork pattern, is a kind of imitation of weaving on bobbins. The simplicity of knitting a ribbon, in which only columns with 1 yarn and air loops are used, is complicated by the execution of a symmetrical pattern.
The ribbon is knitted as follows:
- Cast on a chain of 3 chain stitches (they will be the base of the braid) and 4 lifting stitches.
- In the 1st, 2nd and 3rd loops from the beginning of the chain, knit 3 double crochets, 4 ch and continue to the required length.
- The formed arcs of air loops on the sides of the tape will be the connecting loops when forming the pattern. Below are the diagrams of the patterns used in this model.
Delicate blouse with fillet pattern
A blouse made in the fillet technique looks very elegant and beautiful. Knitted from mercerized cotton yarn with a hook No. 2, it, even with a long sleeve, will not cause discomfort in the summer due to the good thermal conductivity and hygroscopicity of the thread used.
Performing a fillet pattern requires concentration and attention. It is a grid of cells connected from columns with 1 yarn and a chain stitch. Floral ornament - cells filled according to the pattern with additional columns.
For a clearer pattern highlighting, it is recommended to make not 1, but 2 columns with 1 yarn and one common vertex in each required cell. It is important to follow the pattern scheme in the purl rows. After completing the blouse parts, they must be steamed and crocheted. Decorate the open edges with a knitted piping.
Top
You can also knit light summer tops using the fillet technique. They will look especially elegant and festive in white.
When knitting the models, the patterns of which are presented, use thin cotton thread with a minimum amount of synthetic additives. They are necessary to provide the finished product with wrinkle resistance, additional softness and a slight shine. The hook must be thin No. 1-1.5.
Tops made in this technique are multifunctional. They can be worn as a separate element of clothing, and as an addition to a business suit or an open sarafan. The patterns used in filet knitting are also varied.
They can occupy:
- the entire area of the top;
- only its front part;
- the top part of the top is in the form of a yoke;
- minimum area as finishing.
To focus attention directly on the drawing, it is recommended to highlight it with contrasting colors.
Ribbon Lace Jacket
The crochet patterns for women's blouses offered below feature ribbon lace.
You can knit from it:
- dresses;
- blouses;
- cardigans;
- jackets;
- vests;
- tunics;
- skirts.
To knit this model of a summer jacket with short sleeves, you first need to make stripes according to the attached pattern, the length of which should correspond to the size measurements. More experienced craftswomen connect them in the process of knitting the elements. But you can do this at the end of the work.
The sleeves and shoulder seams are sewn together last. Next, the open edges should be decorated with a figured binding and the finished product should be subjected to wet-heat treatment.
Cardigan
An excellent option for plump women is the presented cardigan. It is also made of ribbon lace. The medium-thick cotton yarn from which this product is knitted will provide good hygroscopicity and thermal conductivity. Recommended hooks for use are No. 2.5-3.
The falling folds and optimal length of the cardigan will elegantly conceal figure flaws.It is important to knit several ribbon rapports before starting work in order to correctly calculate their quantity.
The product should be made from the bottom up, sequentially connecting the strips together. Separately knit the sleeves, carefully aligning the sleeve caps with the previously prepared pattern. Then sew them into the armholes. The final operation is to tie the edges with a decorative border, in the process of which make hanging loops for the fastener. Sew on the buttons and steam the cardigan.
From an openwork pattern
The following cardigan, knitted with a solid piece of openwork pattern, will also be a successful type of clothing in a woman's wardrobe. It is ideal for cool summer evenings and special occasions for slender women.
To do this, you can use light, weakly twisted yarn of thin and medium thickness. In this case, it can be mohair with minimal pile or acrylic thread with the lowest wool content. It is advisable to use a slightly thicker hook, No. 3-3.5. This will give the product airiness and weightlessness.
After completing a small sample, it is recommended to perform its wet-heat treatment and only then carry out calculations.This is due to the fact that yarn with a weak twist tends to stretch or shrink after wet or heat treatment.
After completing the parts and their final assembly, it is necessary to tie them with a wide edging according to the presented scheme. At the same time, make slit loops for the fastener. Attach buttons and perform wet processing. Such a cardigan must be dried only in a horizontal position on a solid surface.
Long jacket with Irish lace
The following model of an elongated jacket is made in the most complex technique. Irish lace can only be made by a master with extensive experience.
It consists of knitting individual motifs and then composing a complete composition according to the pattern. The connection of the elements of the pattern is performed mainly with an irregular grid, but with a thinner thread.
This process requires great concentration and patience. It is best to create a composition of motifs on a mannequin or on a special rigid frame. First, attach the ironed elements with tailor's pins to the surface of the mannequin in the required sequence.
Then either crochet (a more complex method) the mesh between the pieces, securing it to them. You can make the connection with a sewing needle (a simpler method) by wrapping the thread around the place where the mesh is connected to the motifs.
It is important not to pull the thread too tightly when knitting the mesh.Otherwise, this may lead to deformation of the finished product or a decrease in its size. At the end of the work, it is necessary to tie the open edges of the jacket with a dense braid. An excellent option may be the "crayfish step". It will prevent the fabric from stretching and will help to maintain the original shape.
If desired, the fastening can be decorated with buttons or a decorative brooch. The final wet-heat treatment will give the fabric a finished marketable appearance.
The patterns for knitting openwork patterns, crocheted in various techniques for women's blouses, as well as recommendations and advice on the technology of the process, presented in the article will help needlewomen create unique products.
