Crochet for Beginners
The generalized term “cape” can be used to describe a type of clothing that does not have sleeves and has a characteristic loose cut. Capes are ponchos, capes and their varieties.
Types of capes
A crocheted cape can be dense and warm or, on the contrary, openwork and decorative. The beauty of this type of clothing is that almost any woman can find a suitable model for herself.
Cover-ups are popular because they allow you to hide unwanted elements of your silhouette. For example, a long model reaching to the waist reliably disguises the tummy and sides. At the same time, lace elegant capes, crocheted, decorate evening dresses and help cover open shoulders or décolleté.
So, based on the knitting methods and appearance, capes can be:
- Knitted with a continuous cloth.
- Made up of separately related fragments.
- Round.
- Semicircular.
- Rectangular.
- In the shape of a bell.
Round capes
Such products look very interesting. Plus they are extremely fun to knit. The photo shows an example of a round cape.
Most likely, the basis for her design was a napkin or tablecloth. As a rule, such products have a main decorative element in the center, which is located on the back. At a certain stage, you should take care of the armholes. To do this, you need to measure the width of the back and compare it with the knitted fabric. When the circle is equal to the width of the back, holes are formed along the edges of the canvas using chains of air loops (VP).
IN finished form This crochet cape looks like a jacket or cardigan with a collar. If necessary, it can be used as a shawl.
Semicircle capes
This type of knitted capes is one of the most popular. They can also be based on patterns of napkins or simply large openwork fragments. The example below shows a cape knitted in an obviously rectangular fragment.
It can still be classified as semicircular, since the principle of expanding the circular canvas is preserved. A special feature of this product is the use of thick thread in combination with an openwork pattern. The texture of the knit is very clearly visible and all the elements look attractive.
This type of crocheting of a cape implies the presence of a center near the neck and a gradual expansion of the fabric. Semicircular capes can be made of two parts (as in the photo) or one circular cloth, the first row of which is the neckline.
Openwork cape with pineapple pattern
A variation of the semicircular one is the following crochet cape (patterns are shown in the photo). This wonderful model very successfully combines the now classic “pineapples” with openwork “fans”. After studying the images, it becomes clear that the development of the cape model was based on the design of a round napkin.
Modification of some elements and proportions, as well as a shift in emphasis to the “fans” allows the cape to be airy and very crocheted (diagrams are shown both before and after the improvement) made according to the diagram below.
There are not many rows in the pattern, so the yarn chosen is quite dense.
Rectangular capes
As the name suggests, this crochet cape is shaped like a rectangle or square. It is knitted in the form of a smooth strip with holes for the arms. Sometimes it looks like two stitched rectangles.
Almost any knitting pattern for such capes can be used. These can be either simple, even patterns or intricate multi-row ornaments. The photo below shows a rectangular cape, to create which three equal squares were knitted. Armholes are formed by unstitched areas in the seams between the squares.
Drapes in the shape of a bell
The specific shape of this type of cape allows you to throw them over your shoulders and not worry about them unbuttoning, slipping, or being blown away by the wind. Drapes-bells do not have fasteners or sleeves. True, if such a cape is crocheted long (to the waist or longer), then you have to provide it with vertical slits for the arms.
From the photographs you can see that bell capes are knitted in circular rows. Depending on the purpose of the cape, it can be knitted dense pattern, equipped warm collar or be light and delicate.
This one is shown in the photo) expands according to the principle of a circle skirt. It is very spacious and designed for comfort.
The next cape has a more decorative purpose.
It expands quite a bit and looks more like a smooth pipe-like canvas. This cape is perfect for formal gatherings. However, if you knit it from light cotton, it will become an indispensable addition to summer sundresses, helping to keep you warm on cool evenings.
Such capes knitted from angora (rabbit fluff) or mohair (soft wool of goats and sheep with long pile) look very good. They can be knitted in either a dense or openwork pattern, and they will be equally warm.
Which pattern to choose
When deciding which pattern to use to make a cape, you should think about the future product and calculate your capabilities. Knitting an even fabric is much easier than circular expansion or creating a product from fragments. Of course, there are restrictions regarding the choice of ornament variations and cape models. But at the same time, a simple pattern will allow you to avoid difficulties and quickly finish crocheting a cape. The patterns of modern solid patterns are very diverse and interesting.
On the other hand, lace and complex patterns are always popular, and a new complex task is a challenge for an adventurous knitter.
Of course, today you can buy any kind of clothes in stores, but it’s so nice to wear something that you made with love with your own hands. So, on the eve of spring, you can treat yourself to a cape - there will be no problems with knitting patterns, since you can use not only ready-made ones, but also those that you are quite capable of inventing yourself.
To ensure that crocheting brings you only pleasure, you need to follow some tips. Situations may arise when the product needs to be restored; to do this, you just need to tie additional columns instead of those that were damaged.
If your product is made in fillet technique, then in order for it to retain its shape longer, you need to tie it with single crochets in a circle.
To make the product look neat, a new thread should be introduced at the end of the row. We insert the hook into the last loop of the previous row and pull out a new thread, after which it is necessary to knit the air loops for lifting.
If the product is dense, then it is better not to starch it, as it may lose its elasticity.
If you are typing a long chain, you can easily get lost. In this case, it is better to knit more air loops and, if necessary, unravel them.
