Crochet tunic: diagram, description, types and methods of knitting

A tunic is a kind of clothes, similar to a short dress and a long sweater. Often these wardrobe items have a slightly loose or very wide cut, their length reaches the hips. They can be worn by children, girls and women, regardless of age, since there are enough varieties of tunic models. Their choice dictates only personal preferences and good-order rules.

Many people love this clothing for the opportunity to hide the flaws of the figure, but it's worth remembering that the tunic always shifts the emphasis on the legs.

Types of tunics

Knitters, who prefer crocheting, have a special passion for tunics. How to match a tunic? The scheme may not be useful if you select a familiar pattern, then the thing is knit quite simply.

Of course, for beginners everything seems complicated, but the cut of this garment lends itself to simplification. If desired, it can be made up from squares alone, without sophisticated armholes, pellets and necks.

There are several main types of tunics:

• Warm (continuous knitting).
• Decorative (openwork pattern).
• Beach (very large openwork).

Most often the object of creativity is the decorative tunic crochet. The scheme and description of their models will allow the needlewoman to create a wonderful thing. To get an eye-pleasing product, it's not in vain to spend time, effort and yarn, it is desirable to plan a model, color and overall appearance in advance. This tunic can be worn daily or worn on holidays.

Knitting a warm product

The tunic for the cold season is knitted from warm yarn. By the way, the pattern does not have to be very dense. The degree of his openwork depends on the plans of the master: to wear a tunic as a sweater, vest or as an element of decor. The beauty of tunics is that they can be worn over other garments: golfs, shirts, tops, blouses. A warm tunic with a crochet, the scheme of which provides for the presence of an aura, can be connected from a smooth or fluffy yarn. The hook number is selected according to the thickness of the yarn.

Optimal composition can be considered from 30% to 80% of natural fibers (wool, angora, mohair) in the filament. A smaller content will lead to a rapid wear of the product, its deformation (stretching, shrinkage), the appearance of pellets and the loss of a neat appearance.

A dense tunic crochet (the scheme is suitable for almost any) can be connected as an even solid sheet, and consist of separate fragments.

Decorative tunic

Open-work summer tunics-dresses - that's where real space for imagination. Such things are knit from 100% cotton, linen, silk yarn or from yarns with a high content of natural fibers. Thus, summer clothes acquire airiness and the ability to "breathe". In addition, natural materials always have a better look and wear longer.

The subtleties of combining patterns

A feature of complex products is the possibility of combining several patterns. In this case, there are three of them. Often, when trying to connect more than two patterns in one product, there is a risk of getting an unattractive and clumsy combination. The same model was developed very successfully. Here, square fragments are used to form a web with even geometric outlines. This is the strip on the bottom of the product, on the chest and on the sleeves.

The second pattern - openwork "bushes" - is used for knitting the middle of the tunic and its sleeves. Triangles (the third element) perform the separation function. The most interesting thing is how the developers of the model approached the design of the most difficult areas: the neck, the sleeves of the sleeve and armhole. For their knitting a simple mesh is used, why the tunic crochet (the grid scheme can be the simplest) only won. A grid with cells of arbitrary dimensions is also used to inscribe the motif in the upper part of the sleeve.

Products from fragments

The next model is a little more difficult to manufacture, because it consists of hexagonal motifs.

Many craftsmen consider this form to be the most complicated of all, since it is not easy to combine such elements. But only such fragments allow you to correctly insert the sleeves into the armholes. The resulting product is worth it to work and apply circular crochet. Tunic, the scheme here is also suitable for almost any, looks very elegant. It can be put on both work and leisure. By the way, knitting from fragments will be easier if you apply elements of a square shape.
