A shawl collar on sweaters and pullovers, on women's dresses and children's knitted things looks quite beautiful, aesthetically pleasing and elegant. What grace and gracefulness these collars give to knitted products. Many knitters dream of having and making such a collar on their products, but not all of them know how to knit a shawl collar correctly and what knitting methods should be used. Our article will tell you how to knit a shawl collar quickly and easily without effort, even for a novice craftswoman.
Instructions
Step 1
Tie the product, which will be complemented by a shawl collar. It can be absolutely any thing, both male and female, both children and adults. It can be a dress, jacket, pullover, sweater, vest, jacket, etc.
Step 2
Prepare the threads of the desired color for the collar. At the same time, remember that the shawl collar can be of the same color scheme as the product itself, differ in tone (turquoise-blue, green-light green, etc.) or be of a completely different color.
Step 3
When choosing different colors for the collar and the product itself, we recommend finishing not only the shawl collar, but also, for example, cuffs, decorative ornament (pattern), elastic band, etc. An excellent combination of shades for this would be red and black, blue and yellow, gray and orange, and others.
Step 4
Prepare the needles with line. It is on such knitting needles that it is easiest to knit the bend of the collar. However, you should know that knitting takes place in straight rows, and not in a circle. If you cannot find this kind of knitting needles in your house, you can use ordinary knitting straight knitting needles, but know that in this case it will be much more difficult to knit a collar of this type.
Step 5
Sew the shoulder seams of your garment.
Tie the front of the collar to the desired neckline (trapezoid or square neckline).
Cast on the neck loops from the edge loops. In this case, you should not dial the loops of the middle of the front.
Step 6
Knit a set of edging loops so that one loop of the plank is obtained from the first loop, two loops from the second, three loops from the third, etc. Then knit several rows straight depending on the size of the garment and the collar.
Step 7
Tie the required collar extension in shortened rows and close the loops by knitting straight rows. So, knit the entire shawl collar according to the above principle.
Step 8
Sew the finished shawl collar to the middle of the neckline so that the edges of the collar overlap.
The product with a shawl collar is ready.
Try on your outfit and be proud of the job you receive.
