How to crochet a collar on a dress: step-by-step description
Making an elegant collar is the main task of the master. Especially for someone who is already well acquainted with crochet patterns. There is so much beauty around that the hands of a true genius can create. Why do they waste time and not do such unusual things? Next is the most interesting model, which will definitely add a touch of elegance to any look. It will be a light blouse, a fitted jacket or an office dress.
It will be useful at work:
- iris yarn 2 skeins of 25 g each;
- hook number 0.85.
Stage: measurements. For the collar you will also need to create your own measurements.It would be a shame to go such a long way, practically knit a napkin and end up with a product that is too bulky or very small. The new thing fits well. To measure, you need to measure the neck circumference and add cm for a loose fit. It is better to evaluate your most comfortable blouse with a round collar and simply measure the circumference of your collar.
Stage: sample. It is always important to know the most important indicator before creating a pattern - the knitting density. For a pattern, it is very easy to find out the knitting density; you just need to knit a small element. Next, use a ruler to bring it to the loops and count how many loops and how many rows there will be. All calculations are made for 10 cm, if you knitted a shorter segment, you can count by 5 and multiply by 2. Then transfer it to a pattern and create the product, not like a seamstress by cm, but by loops and rapport. This is what real masters do, and so can a beginner.
Stage: set. This cute collar is made using a 9-rapport pattern. But for the front part, one rapport is divided in half right along its central part. For the set you will need to cast on 153 air loops. Next, knit a row completely with the fabric using single crochet stitches. Next, make a row of double crochet and chain stitch instead of a double crochet. The result is a mesh knitting pattern. As a result, the pattern below produces something very similar to a pineapple pattern. About 10 rows of the pattern and the last final one are peaks. So the beautiful accessory is ready.
Stage: decoration. A special bow will decorate the already elegant collar. It is better to use a bow in black. In fact, it is nothing more than a gorgeous clasp in the form of an adorable bow. You can always make one yourself.A black velvet bow will look even more attractive on a white background. You can add a few pearl-colored beads to each peak of the pineapple and you won’t be able to tear curious and appraising glances away from the collar.
How to decorate a knitted collar
There are as many crocheted collars as there are ideas for decorating them.
- Collars decorated with beads look very fashionable and stylish. This echoes the fashion of the past. But you can also decorate with beads using different techniques. This can be an interesting set along the very edge and sewn with barely noticeable stitches. The feeling from such a set is that these are just beads located so close to the collar and represent something separate, not unified.
- There are many patterns with flowers and the beads can simply be the peaks or centers of the flowers of such paintings. Beads should also not be discounted. What paintings are not used for the collar.
- Small appliqués of floral patterns or tree branches.
- Maybe these are just someone’s initials and this gives the product even more personality.
- A beautiful bow, also knitted from yarn or it will be a flower from yarn and all this will also be part of the decoration for the thing.
- A brooch on the edge or instead of a clasp presents the novelty in a completely different way.
- Often there are products with fur inserts. It is better to use a substitute, since natural fur will be very warm, and such accessories should not weigh down or interfere with the outfit in any way.
- Noticeable laces and ties made of satin ribbon, all this can simultaneously occupy two niches - be both a fastener and a decoration.
How to attach a collar to a dress
