Shrag knitting: the original accessory for any outfit

A professionally related product gives out details: an even cloth, inconspicuous seams, a carefully measured line armhole, a processed neck. Skills for their implementation do not come immediately - you need to connect more than a dozen things. Therefore, it is recommended to start learning the art of making wardrobe items with simple items that do not require complicated loops calculation. Shrag knitting needles in a few evenings, you just need to choose a pattern and buy yarn.

Appointment

Before embarking on needlework, you need to figure out what kind of wardrobe it is. A shrag is called a small cloak, in fact, consisting only of sleeves. Use it on top of open dresses or tops.

The cape-jacket has three functions:

• Beautify attire. Often an accessory is used for evening outings and wedding dresses. An openwork shag with knitting needles will emphasize the solemnity of the toilet, make the image complete;
• Protect from the cold. Of course, you can not compare a light cloak and a winter sweater. But on a cool summer evening, the shrok, thrown over shoulders, will be quite to the point;
• Diversify the wardrobe. The product is made quickly, does not require special skills, so connecting several jackets and alternating them among themselves, you can create completely different images with basic things.

The difference of the shrag from other types of capes, cardigans, jackets and bolero - knitting the product with one cloth.

Preparation

To make a shlag with knitting needles:

• Threads (for a summer cape, fine cotton yarn will suit, warm variants are knitted from wool or half-wool);
• Needles for the thickness of the yarn and thinner (half the size) for the cuffs.

Before proceeding to the selection of the pattern, it is necessary to consider the peculiarity of knitting the product. In the finished form, the cape is a rectangle, the long sides of which are sewn along the edges, while the center remains free-this is how the sleeves are formed.

In order to tie a knife with a knife, you need to decide on the dimensions. Measuring the width of the back and adding the length of the sleeves, get the height of the canvas. The second size is formed from the arm circumference at the top. To the received figure add some centimeters on free obleganie. At will, the cape is knitted wide - in this case the value of the second size is increased by two or three times.

Selecting a picture

Pattern for the product will suit any, it all depends on the preferences of the master. Shrag knitting, etched with an openwork pattern - this is an option for a summer day. More dense patterns, for example, braids - an alternative to cool autumn.

The face or the reverse surface is also suitable for the cape. In this case, it is worth paying attention to the quality of yarn. Threads must be smooth and uniform in thickness. If there is no confidence in the quality of the material, then its shortcomings will hide the color of the yarn. For example, on threads of sectional staining less obvious defects and irregularities.

Based on the dimensions of the product for the selected pattern and yarn, you need to calculate the number of loops. This is done in a standard way by untying the sample.

Principle of knitting

After the necessary preparations are made, you can knit the shag with knitting needles. The product description (independent of the model) consists of four simple steps.

1. Knitting cuffs (optional). The cuff, as a rule, is executed by a pattern "elastic": in height it is fastened about 2-5 cm. The number of loops for a lapel is determined by the arm circumference.
2. Adding loops for the main fabric and making it. This stage is the longest. Gradually, you will remember the picture, so the last rows will be linked "on the machine".
3. The reduction of the loops and the second cuff is symmetrical to the first lap.
4. Fastening the edges of the fabric along the long side, starting from the cuffs.

Shrag-cape is ready! You can start knitting the next thing for the wardrobe.
