For many girls, shorts are their favorite summer clothing. This is natural, because they are extremely comfortable, light and perfectly emphasize the dignity of the figure.
For knitters who know how to crochet, summer is a special time, because you can wear airy openwork made of cotton or silk yarn, for example, shorts (crocheted). Schemes and descriptions of models are developed by both eminent designers and ordinary housewives. This item of clothing (shorts) cannot be considered classic, as it looks very eccentric. However, when the right combination model, pattern and materials, the craftswoman can get a real masterpiece.
crochet: diagrams and descriptions of popular models
Since we are talking about making summer decorative clothing, it is worth considering several openwork patterns.
The diagram below shows perhaps the most common pattern ever invented for crocheting. This is Pineapples. They are good because they are easy to change.
Their rapports can be increased or decreased. In addition, using such a scheme, the craftswoman will be able to form a part of the desired shape without unnecessary pain. Shorts are crocheted from top to bottom or vice versa, from bottom to top. If the decision is made to make a typesetting canvas, then they begin to collect the motifs from the bottom (where you need to make a smooth edge).
Features of the shorts pattern
Those craftswomen who have never encountered sewing should pay increased attention to taking measurements and constructing
Even taking into account a certain elasticity of the knitted fabric, it should be understood that the contours of the parts must be anatomically correct. The back of the shorts is always made higher than the front. The roll-out on the back is also made higher, otherwise crocheted knitted shorts (patterns and description of the pattern do not matter) will not fit the figure. It is advisable to make the lower part of each part narrower so that ready product it was comfortable to wear. Of course, there are models with a straight cut, but there is a risk that the shorts will ride up when walking.
How to design a belt?
Usually crochet shorts (the diagrams and description confirm this) are made without fasteners, so the waistband cannot be smaller than the circumference of the hips. To ensure that the product holds tightly and does not slip, the craftswomen thread a knitted cord along the upper edge, satin ribbon or twisted twine.
If desired, you can add an elastic band to your crochet shorts. Schemes and descriptions of such models will include several rows of single crochets or double crochets. Then the products will be truly practical. To prevent the elastic from being visible from the front side of the belt, lining fabric is sewn to the back of the belt. Cotton, linen or silk material is best suited for these purposes.
- If you wear shorts in the city, then you need to knit them in a tight pattern consisting of double stitch with a minimum amount of air. loops and openwork.
- Shorts for the sea and the beach leave us a lot of room for imagination. The beach option can consist of beautiful openwork patterns; we recommend knitting the length to a minimum.
- Crocheting baby shorts is easier because babies don't have distinct shapes. The pattern is not so complicated, the product is much smaller in size. In case of failure, it is easy to unravel and tie again.
Based on all of the above, we suggest you practice on a children’s product, and then start knitting an adult.
Choosing yarn for crochet
There are a lot of yarns on sale now, but for the summer version, cotton, bamboo and possibly viscose remain the constant favorites. Magazines recommend choosing stretch yarn to crocheted The shorts fitted the figure beautifully and did not sag from long wear. Be careful with viscose yarn. Viscose products look gentle and weightless, but the product is very stretchy. You need to knit tightly with viscose and take a hook one size smaller than the recommended one.
Soft and moderately dense cotton with a small addition of elastane will be the most good material for your shorts.
What to wear with crochet shorts
The shorts are self-sufficient on their own; you don’t need to select any special set for them. They can be worn with a light top, T-shirt or summer shirt. You can always link to them openwork top using the same patterns.
