With crochet techniques, many craftswomen note obvious advantage the latter. Knowing how to crochet simplifies many rather complex tasks: knitting hats, mittens, children's clothing, toys and even interior items.
Poncho - clothes for all times
According to historical data, this was the name of South American clothing. This wardrobe item quickly became very popular and was loved by many people around the world. Today, the fashion for traditional types of poncho has passed a little, but its newest modifications have received universal recognition.
In order to link and description are desirable, but not required. This product allows you to use completely different yarns and knitting techniques. The choice of material and pattern depends on the purpose of the clothing: decorative or warm.
The size of the product will also affect the amount of yarn. A crocheted children's poncho for a girl will require significantly less yarn than an adult long product. When knitting warm models It should be taken into account that thick yarn has a very small yardage. Therefore, you should focus not on the weight of the purchased material, but on the total length of the threads in all skeins.
The most common types of ponchos
All existing species can be roughly divided into two types:
- Solid warm products.
- Openwork decorative capes.
The former should be knitted from yarn containing at least 30% natural fibers of wool, angora or mohair (optimally 50%). Of course, you can use acrylic, but it will not heat up, even if the fabric is dense and without holes. Rather, man-made fibers will cause the poncho to be either too hot or too cold.
An openwork poncho will keep its shape and last a long time if you use cotton, linen, polyamide or viscose.
Knitting in the round
The classic version of knitting a poncho is in the round. Start knitting from the neck, cast on chain air loops close into a ring and mark two loops with a colored thread at an equal distance from each other. Next, knit circular rows, adding loops at these two points.
The general principle of adding is three loops from one base loop. This creates a right angle (90 degrees), or rather, two right angles. Consecutive expansion will allow you to obtain a canvas of a specific shape. It corresponds as best as possible to the peculiarities of human anatomy and avoids the formation of too wide a canvas.
For insulation, such a poncho can be equipped with a neck, as shown in the photo.
Possibility of application different colors and the texture of the yarn is an undoubted advantage of such a crocheted poncho. Schemes and descriptions of other options are presented below.
Model of two rectangles
Sewing two rectangular pieces together is a fairly common method of knitting capes. This is a very simple method; crocheting a poncho (schemes of suitable patterns are shown in the photo) allows you to use a large number of patterns.
To make a poncho using this method, you should knit two identical strips with the selected pattern and then sew them together as shown in the photo. The shape of such a product fully corresponds to the shape described in the previous paragraph. It can be decorated around the edge with binding or tassels, and for warmth, sew on a separately knitted collar.
Rectangular poncho
There is another way to create a crocheted poncho fabric. Schemes and descriptions of the pattern or individual fragments can be absolutely anything, although it is better to focus on ornaments with moderately sized holes. Sagging fabric can hide the pattern, and it will seem that the garment is knitted sloppily.
To make a rectangular model, you need to knit a rectangle required size with a neck hole. For convenience, an opening-cut (“boat”) or a square-shaped hole is left as a neck. When using square poncho pieces openwork crochet It is convenient to knit using full squares and their halves, triangles. The diagram below shows how you can knit half a square motif.
Capes that combine elements look good different patterns and even a technician. The photo below shows an example of how you can knit squares (can be any) using a different pattern or knitting.
The disadvantage of this model is the rather wide edges of the product. Each part has the shape of a rectangle, and not a beveled trapezoid, as in the previous paragraphs. This feature may create some inconvenience.
Short poncho: cape and cape
A modern modification of the classic poncho is a short cape. It can be knitted from warm wool yarn and have fur, fringe and pom-poms as decoration. Drapes are also knitted using openwork patterns and thin threads. They are decorated with beads, rhinestones or Quite often knitted capes used for wedding dress or in summer days for protection from solar ultraviolet radiation.
Crocheting a short poncho (patterns and descriptions are very important here) is done in the round, in return rows or by composing individual fragments. The photo above shows options for openwork decorative ponchos. Like other types of ponchos, the cape can be circular or in the form of an open fabric with a clasp or ties.
Crocheting a poncho for beginners should not be considered an overwhelming task. The correct selection of model and yarn, as well as careful calculations of loops and rows will help you create an excellent functional wardrobe item.
