Assembly

Sew the sleeve hems and sew the sleeve seams.

Various types of knitting provide us with unlimited space for imagination. Tops are:

  • tailored from separate halves - both of the same type and differing in color and even pattern (the back can be made more dense);
  • knitted in the round - in this case the top is knitted whole cloth, the straps are then sewn on separately.

By the way, the straps can be thin, crossed, made in the form of braids, wide, or be a single loop circling the neck.

What will the top be like - weightless, like a spider's web? Strict? Or erotic, emphasizing the dignity of the figure? For a translucent option, it is better to sew a lining in a neutral or contrasting shade, which will help fix the shape and hide unnecessary details from immodest glances. We make the neckline round, square, V-shaped or wavy - this is very suitable for tops with floral patterns.

On hot days, a short top will be indispensable - barely covering the stomach (if your figure allows) or a little longer. For a formal occasion or for work in the office, a more formal option is suitable - for example, up to the middle of the thigh.

Color scheme and choice of yarn

The yarn is also selected according to your wishes and needs. Pleasant to the touch and eco-friendly, a top made of linen or cotton will perfectly harmonize with both a skirt and trousers. However, do not forget: using thread made from natural fibers for knitting, you will get a fairly heavy product.

Why not go for acrylic, viscose, wool or blended yarn? A striped or melange top looks great. The yoke can be finished in a contrasting color.

Go for it! An openwork top knitted by a skilled craftswoman can become a chic detail in your wardrobe!

Knitting an openwork top, models from our website

Knitting pattern for openwork top


Legend

Good day to all needlewomen! I bring to your attention my version of an openwork top with a pattern of leaves with a small yoke. The top is knitted from Pekhorka Summer cotton yarn (330 m per 100 g), color Fuchsia, with knitting needles No. 2.5. My little top for my daughter took 2 or so skeins.

I want to say that this yarn is a little difficult to knit, the thread is very twisted, so when knitting I had to constantly untwist the knots, it was exhausting... In my version of the top there are not 5 repeats, but only 4, so I cast on 101 loops for the back and front (24 stitches of the pattern + between the repeats, 1 loop (knitted with the front one twisted so that the borders of the patterns can be better seen = 3 loops) + 2 edge loops); 8 patterns in height.

I knitted the armholes as in the description, but for the yoke the description indicated a very large number of loops (95), for my daughter, by trial and error, I needed to cast on only 44 loops, I did the reduction of loops for the armholes immediately (in the description after 4 cm of the beginning of the yoke). Since there are only 4 repeats, the central leaf in the yoke turned out to be in the middle (between the second and third stripes), but in my opinion, it also turned out well. The height of the yoke has also been reduced. The top is crocheted in small crab steps.

Bright openwork top - T-shirt

So, “Pearl” yarn from Pekhorka 50% cotton 50% viscose 100g/425m, for my size 42-44 it took a little more than 1.5 skeins, knitted as always with No. 3 knitting needles. I knitted from top to bottom, cast on 126 stitches for the neckline (41 stitches in front + 41 stitches in back + 20 stitches on sleeve + 20 stitches on sleeve + 4 stitches in raglan stitches), on the back there is regular raglan, and on the front there is openwork:


I tied the sleeves, neck and bottom with garter stitch! Well, that's it.

An elegant top that fits your figure, decorated with an openwork pattern, will be very useful in the summer. It doesn't look beachy, and can easily be used in an office or other more or less formal setting. It is convenient because it is knitted from cotton yarn (DROPS MUSKAT, 50g/100 m). The model was created by DROPS Design specialists for S - M - L - XL - and also sizes for full - XXL - XXXL, and for each size there is its own pattern diagram in the application. We also have a pattern with all the numerical indicators. For the top, 7-8-9-10-11-12 skeins of the proposed yarn will be enough. Its thread is convenient to knit with 4 mm knitting needles. Since we will begin work by performing k/r (circular rows), the knitting needles should also be circular.

Knitting density we define it this way: from 21 loops (pt) we perform 28 rows = 10x10 cm. We knit with stockinette stitch (kl/sl).

Description

Let's start knitting the top from the bottom and work our way up in the circle. Since the pattern contains the design of the waist, during the work you will need to add and subtract stitches in the k/r.

We add pts using yarn overs, which are subsequently converted into crossed ltspts (knit pts).

We make decreases in pt around the mark (markers): before the mark we perform a broach, and after it we knit 2 lcpt together.

The main detail of a summer top with an openwork yoke from Drops

Dial 210-224-238-266-294-322 pt. We knit 4 k/r scarf knitting (pl/v).

Then we make the border according to scheme A.1. = 180-192-204-228-252-276 pt.

We install the markers designed to separate the front from the back:

Mrk1 - knitting 45-48-51-57-63-69 sts;

Mrk2 - after completing 90-96-102-114-126-138 pt. We finish k/r 45-48-51-57-63-69 pt.

We knit lts/hl to a height of 7cm.

In the next k/r we subtract 1 pt around the mrk (see above).

We perform this operation to decrease pt another 6-5-3-5-5-5 times, leaving 2-2½-4-2½-2-2½ cm between each ct with decreases = 152-168-188-204-228 -252 pt.

Having reached 24 cm in height from the edge, we begin increasing around the mark - 1 pt, repeating them a total of 8-7-6-5-7-7 times. The distances between k/r with additions of pts are 1-1-1½-2-2-2 cm = 184-196-212-224-256-280 pts.

When the height of the canvas reaches 35-37-38-40-41-43 cm, we begin to work on the armholes:

Knit the first 42-45-49-51-59-65 sts;

Knit 84-90-98-102-118-130 sts;

Cast off 8-8-8-10-10-10 sts;

We finish k/r = 168-180-196-204-236-260 pt. We put off work.

Sleeves

We make a set of 62-64-65-71-72-76 pts. We perform 3 rows of lcpt.

In the next row we bind off the first 4-4-4-5-5-5 sts; knit 54-56-57-61-64-66 sts. At the same time, add 6-6-5-5-4-4 sts evenly; close off the last 4-4-4-5-5-5 sts = 60-62-62-66-66-70 sts. We cut off the thread.

Yoke

We assemble the stitches of the main part and sleeves on the knitting needles in their places. We knit k/r again.

We work according to A.2; then according to A.3; then according to A.4 = 108-114-120-126-138-150 pt.

We knit 2 k/r with a pl/w pattern, decreasing at the same time 6-4-2-0-4-8 pts evenly = 102-110-118-126-134-142 pts.

We knit 2 more k/r pl/v. We close all pts freely.

Assembly

We connect the undercuts of the sleeves with a seam, and we also sew the sleeves themselves.

Scheme

Every needlewoman dreams of creating a unique and inimitable item for her wardrobe. After all, clothes self made It is quite expensive and is not sold everywhere. An openwork knitted top will help complement your fashionable look. It will emphasize your femininity and lightness, and add a touch of coquetry. It is a pleasure to wear such clothes - they are light and airy, pleasant to wear and very beautiful.

History of technology

The first items of clothing knitted, appeared in Ancient Rome. Women used the flax and cotton then available to create simple fabrics. Their fragments were discovered by archaeologists during excavations of ancient tombs.

The development of knitting was facilitated by knowledge brought from the East, where knitting needles were successfully used already in the 9th century. Numerous Crusades allowed Europeans to adopt the skill. Society ladies successfully used the technique to create clothing and household items. Through careful selection, many patterns were formed, the patterns for which were borrowed from weaving and embroidery. At first this type needlework was popular only among rich ladies. This was due to the high price of yarn made from cotton.

The mechanization of thread processing and spinning processes made it inexpensive and accessible even to peasants. They worked on creating lace, which was in demand at that time, and how they could earn a living.

Since the creation of the first knitting machine, knitted items began to be produced on an industrial scale. But handicrafts have not lost their attractiveness in the eyes of masters. They continue to practice hand knitting and, whenever possible, pass on their knowledge to the next generation.

Many designers are working on creating new products in the fashion world. Every year in their collections they show fashionable images, in which knitted clothing is widely used.

Top with openwork braids

To create a model of this top, a thread is used sectional dyeing. It allows you to make transitions soft and not have to constantly change the thread.

The openwork fabric with braid inserts looks organic. A simple cut of the product will highlight the graceful line of the neck and chest, due to the interesting neckline. Even an inexperienced master can handle the job.

To make a top for women size 46-48, take:

  • 200 grams of section-dyed yarn (100 g/240 m). It should consist of equal amounts of cotton and polyacrylic fibers. This combination will make the item pleasant to the body and wear-resistant;
  • Knitting needles 3 mm;
  • Hook 4 mm.

The back and front pieces are knitted the same way. To make them, cast on 82 stitches and work 4 rows in garter stitch. After this, you need to start forming the pattern of the canvas. Knit: edge loop, 10 loops in stockinette stitch, 12 loops in pattern 11.1, 8 loops in pattern 11.2, 20 loops in pattern 11.3. from this place the reverse order of the pattern begins, i.e. 8 loops of pattern 11.2, etc. finish the row with an edge loop. Work 15 cm of fabric and decrease twice, 1 loop in every tenth row. Knit 8 rows and increase in the same way.

When the fabric reaches 38 cm, form a sleeve. Increase 12 stitches on both sides of the fabric. Form the neckline by closing the middle 36 loops at a height of 50 cm. Then each side is knitted separately. Cast off 3 outer stitches on every other row twice. Then close 2 times with 2 loops and 1 time with 1 loop. When the fabric reaches 55 cm, close the shoulder loops (24). All that remains is to sew the seams and tie the neck and sleeves in a “crawfish step”.

For work, use the following diagrams and pattern:

Work should be temporarily postponed.

Before

Round the front neckline as follows: first bind off 10 stitches, and then close the loops in the same way as described for rounding the back neckline.

Make a mark at the same height as on the back and knit the second part of the neck in the same way = cast on loops in reverse order.

Important: finish the openwork pattern in the same row as on the back.

Connect the back loops to the front loops and continue working on all loops with the same distribution of patterns.

Having knitted the same number of rows for the left shoulder as for the right, close off 84 (86) 88 (90) sts at the beginning of the next 2 rows. (= side edges).

Knit the left sleeve like the right one, but instead of increasing in faces. make decreases in rows: knit
1 p., 2 p. knit together, knit until the last 3 loops on the knitting needle, slip 1 loop, knit the next loop and pull the removed loop through the knitted one, knit 1 p.

Having knitted the same number of rows for the left sleeve as for the right, bind off the loops.

Assembly

Sew sleeve seams and side seams.

Bottom edge binding

Using hook No. 3, perform a row of st. b/n along the bottom edge of the product = do approximately 1 tbsp. b/n in every 2nd row, close the row with the connection. Art. and knit the next row like this: 3 ch, 1 tbsp. s/n back to the same loop, skip 1 tbsp. b/n, *1 tbsp. b/n in the next loop, 1 tbsp. s/n back to the same loop, skip 1 p., 1 tbsp. b/n in the next loop*, repeat from * to *, close the row with the connection. Art. in the 1st loop of the row.

Sleeve edge binding

Using hook No. 2.5, make a row of sts along the edge of each sleeve. b/n = knit 1 tbsp. b/n in each loop, close the row of connections. Art. and knit the next row in the same way as for tying the bottom edge, but instead of 1 stitch, skipping 2 loops.

Neck strap

Using hook No. 2.5, make a row of sts along the edge of the neckline. b/n = knit 1 tbsp. b/n in each loop in areas with closed/cast on loops, 1 tbsp. b/n in every 2nd row on straight sections. Close the row of connections. Art. and knit the next row in the same way as for tying the edges of the sleeves.
