Knitted collar - a detail for all times

For many, an openwork collar evokes associations with a school uniform. However, this cute accessory can be a sophisticated addition to any outfit:

• dresses;
• blouses;
• jumpers;
• tunics;
• T-shirts and other outfits.

A knitted collar adds a bit of innocent charm and aristocratic luxury to the look. The main thing is to choose a beautiful design and correctly calculate the length of the finished product.

What is needed to create an openwork collar?

Before you start knitting, you need to prepare your tools and calculate the shrinkage of the thread. To crochet a collar you will need:

• knitting pattern diagram;
• threads (the smaller the pattern, the thinner the threads);
• hook (depending on the thickness of the thread, No. 0.9 is considered standard);
• tape measure.

The next stage is calculating the shrinkage of the thread.

1. Cut a piece of yarn from the skein (about 20 cm);
2. We knit a couple of columns.
3. Wet it and let it dry naturally.
4. We count the number of loops in 1 cm, calculate the length of the collar. To do this, you need to measure the neck of the product to which you plan to connect the accessory.

The most suitable model for formal dresses or blouses are openwork crochet collars. The diagrams and descriptions of these accessories are quite similar, the main thing is to decide on the design. So, let's look at the progress of work on the collar.

1. We cast on 4 air (chain) loops.
2. We make 1 air loop and insert it into a chain of 4.
3. We knit a yarn over and knit a stitch.
4. We make a yarn over and insert it into the loop from the previous yarn over. In this way we knit 145 stitches.
5. We make 3 yarn overs and knit 1 stitch in every third loop, we do not make a yarn over.
6. We finish the row with 3 slip stitches and a column of 3 loops in every sixth loop of the row.
7. We make 3 slip stitches for lifting. Turn the collar over.
8. Make 1 double crochet, 3 stitches and 7 rows of double crochets each to make a semicircle.
9. We knit 5 chain stitches, 1 single crochet and insert it into the same semicircle.
10. Repeat the previous step, turning the canvas over.
11. We make 4 stitches with one vertex, 3 double crochets into one base loop, 3 double crochets, 1 stitch, 3 chain loops, 4 double crochets into a common base, 3 double crochets into one base. Repeat 3 times.
12. We pull out the product so that there are no constrictions.

School uniforms will never go out of fashion, because they are a symbol of beautiful youth - a happy and carefree time. But to give this fairly standard outfit some freshness and relevance, you can tie in a fashionable addition. For a beautiful collar on a school dress, there is a very simple knitting pattern consisting of several identical elements.

1. We close the circle from a chain of 5 loops.
2. We knit 3 yarn over loops, make 11 double crochet stitches in a circle, turn over, make 12 rows.
3. We make 4 yarn over loops, close the double crochet stitch into the first chain loop.
4. Repeat the previous step 10 times.
5. We make 1 double crochet stitch in the top row of chain stitches. Turn it over.
6. We knit 6 double crochet stitches, a single crochet stitch at the base. Repeat 10 times.
7. Make 1 double crochet in the third of 5 chain stitches.
8. We knit the border - 1 double crochet, do not double crochet, 3 double crochets.

Japanese models

Over the last couple of years, crocheted collars from Japanese fashion magazines have been trending. Residents of the Land of the Rising Sun have always appreciated fine arts, so crocheting did not leave them indifferent. A distinctive feature of Japanese models is a small pattern of several motifs, which are knitted separately and then combined into one product. For example:

1. We cast on 113 air loops.
2. At the beginning of the row we make 3 lifting chain loops.
3. We alternate 1 chain stitch and 1 double crochet at the base of every second stitch of the first chain stitches.
4. We knit 2 double crochets.
5. We knit 5 such rows according to the pattern.
6. We tie the element with 1 single crochet, 1 double crochet, 1 single crochet.

It is believed that knitted items are quite difficult to care for. This applies to washing and ironing products. However, in order for the collar to always remain as good as new, you need to follow simple rules.

• The product can only be washed in warm water. Moreover, regardless of the quality of the threads from which the item is knitted.
• After washing, the collar is not wrung out.
• It is better to dry the collar in a terry towel.
• The openwork accessory must be ironed slightly damp, using steaming.
• To give it shape, you can starch the collar every other time when washing - 1 tbsp. l. starch per 1 liter of warm water.
• If you want to “age” your collar, giving it a charming vintage look, you can do this with tea or coffee. Add a spoonful of tea leaves to hot water and lower the thing into it. Take it out periodically and evaluate the result. The product will acquire a noble yellow color. You can do the same thing using coffee if you want to add a creamy, antique touch to your collar.

The collar is a native Russian additional element of the dress, decorating and shaping the neckline. In Soviet times, removable collars were a necessary addition to the school uniform. Openwork was created by original decoration, and was especially valued.

Modern fashion trends have returned this forgotten element to the wardrobe, making it an independent accessory. Openwork collars are especially successful when crocheted. They can vary in size from very tiny, adjacent to the neck, to the size of a small shawl. The openwork brings lightness and tenderness, making the image sophisticated and romantic. With all the artistic expressiveness for beginners, it is better to choose simpler collar patterns, since once you have figured out a simple model, you can safely proceed to the collar you like.

The easiest way to knit a collar is in the master class; it gives the most detailed description. In fact, a master class for such a thing consists of a thorough study of the knitting pattern. When starting to choose a model, you should not focus on a beautiful pattern, but first of all, you should start from the thing that will decorate the collar. The stylistically restrained model of the dress will be diluted by a light openwork collar with floral motifs. A flying veil of thread weaves, similar to a frosty pattern, will also make the dress evening.

A stand-up collar is a very convenient solution for the cold season. A jumper with a knitted stand-up collar will make you look stylish and keep you warm. Essentially, we have a stand-up collar, like on a turtleneck.

There are many types of knitted collars, but the most popular is the knitted stand-up collar with a lapel. This collar is usually knitted with an elastic band. The number of purl and knit stitches in rapport may vary. If you want an elegant collar without visible “noodles,” then a knitted stand-up collar should be made with a single elastic band. If you need a more massive collar or you want to turn a stand-up collar into a significant element of the decor of a sweater, then make a knitted collar with your own hands using an elastic band 2x2, 3x3, 4x4 or even 2x3, 4x2 and so on.

Such fashionable knitted stand-up collars can be made not only with plain yarn, but also with melange or yarn with the addition of lurex, which will give a special elegant look to your knitted product.

So, let's look at the models of knitted collars

Stand-up collar with lapel

This knitted stand-up collar with a lapel can be used to “add on” a jumper that is boring you. Measure the width of the back of the jumper, divide the resulting number by 3 and then add three more units to the answer received. This way we will find out what the width of the neck should be in order to make a knitted collar with knitting needles. After this, we lift the loops along the edge of the neck with knitting needles and begin knitting the elastic band. As we have already said, the number of loops in elastic bands can be arbitrary: 1 x 1, 2 x 2 and so on. The collar height can be any. The average height for a stand-up collar with a lapel is 20 cm.

Now you will learn how to knit a collar correctly so that your head fits freely into it.

So, how to knit a collar correctly

• It is important to follow the correct method of casting on loops along the edge of the neckline. It should be like this: on the side of the vertical or oblique arrangement, 3 loops out of 4, skipping the 4th, on the horizontal side - each loop - and 1 circle is knitted with knits.

• The second rule is that you need to knit the elastic loosely, without tightening the loops. If you are knitting tightly, use knitting needles that are slightly larger than those you used to knit the main part of the jumper.

• The third rule is: when closing loops, use a method that does not create the effect of tight loops. If you know how to close loops the Italian way, then you should not have any problems.

• Also, so that the head fits freely into the hole of the stand-up collar, tied with an elastic band, you can knit the collar by adding loops.

To do this, after several initial rows have been knitted with a 1 x 1 elastic band along the edge of the base of the neckline, then begin to make increases. In the 1st row, make one increase by 5 loops (in order to avoid breaking the elastic pattern, add loops using the method of double adding loops). To do this, from 1 front loop, knit 2: the front one behind the front wall and the back one behind the back wall. The knit stitch is lowered from the left knitting needle. Now on the right needle there is 1 knit stitch and 1 additional purl stitch; The 1st stitch on the left needle is purl. With the left knitting needle, pick up the transverse thread between the 2 purl loops and knit the front crossed one. Thus, 2 loops are added: purl and knit. Therefore, this type of addition is called double.

Continue knitting the stand collar straight until your desired height is reached.

If you decided to tie the collar as a separate element, knit it like this. Cast on the knitting needles the number of stitches needed to obtain the desired width of the collar. Join the knitting into a circle. Knit in ribbed stitch, garter stitch, or choose a pattern for your project. The height of the clamp depends entirely on your desire.

Collar- « clamp“has not gone out of fashion for many decades. It originates from the stand-up collar. This collar can be of different shapes and sizes. It can fall freely on the shoulders or almost hug the neck. It can be part of a sweater or dress, or it can exist separately, like a shirtfront, which, if necessary, turns into a headdress.

Instructions

When knitting from separate parts, knit to the end, but do not close the loops, but remove them with an additional thread. Do the same. When all the sweater pieces are ready, cast on the slipped stitches on circular needles. The thread on which you stitched the last row must be pulled out.

There is another way to knit this. Calculate the number of loops needed for the collar height you have in mind. Cast on the required number of loops on the knitting needles and knit a rectangle to a length equal to the volume of the neckline on the modified pattern. Bind off the loops and sew.

Unique, handmade items are becoming increasingly valuable. And if you want to link sweater for yourself or as a gift, then you will certainly be faced with the question of how to calculate the size collar and tie the collar correctly. One of the most common options is an elastic collar, which fits the neck, according to the same principle as a turtleneck.

You will need

• Knitting needles, yarn, needle, thread in the color of the yarn, centimeter.

Instructions

We start knitting 4/1 elastic by measuring the length of the neckline. You need to subtract 1 or 2 centimeters from the resulting length, depending on how loose you want the collar to be.

Knit a small one to count how many loops there are for each centimeter. The sample must be knitted using satin stitch. In order to count the number of loops, you need to measure the sample and calculate the number of loops obtained for this width. Then the required neck length is divided by the number of centimeters obtained in the sample and multiplied by the number of loops in it - the number of loops for knitting the neck is obtained.

Based on the data received, we cast on the required number of loops for collar. It should be equal to the length of the neck (minus 2 centimeters) multiplied by the number of loops in one centimeter of the stitch knitted sample.

We knit the collar with 4/1 rib to the desired length. Then you should knit 3 rows with satin stitch. We finish knitting with 10 rows of auxiliary thread.

note

Before the collar is sewn, many people advise steaming it. However, not all yarn can be steamed. If you are using a material that does not allow steaming, simply skip this step in the instructions.

You can create either a single-color product or a patterned, multi-colored one. Work out the sketch carefully using colored pencils: you will have a clear idea of ​​the final appearance of the collar.

A beaded collar can be woven, but to do this you need to know the basics of beading and also be prepared for difficult and painstaking work. Another thing is embroidery with beads according to a prepared sketch. The product will be spectacular, beautiful and original. In addition, creating a collar this way will take less time.

Prepare the base. Cut out two round shapes from thick fabric (they should resemble droplets) and position them mirror image to each other. Sew satin ribbons to the sharp edges - with their help you will put on and secure the collar. Sew the rounded ends together along the wrong side. Please note: you can use a ready-made base, cut from the collar of a shirt or blouse.

According to the prepared sketch, begin embroidering the collar with beads. Needlewomen recommend the following scheme of work. If the product is monochromatic, sew beads starting from the bottom edge. Move from left to right and back again until the entire base is covered with beads. If you are planning a fantasy/abstract pattern, it is better to start working from the middle of each part and gradually move towards the edges. Before sewing on the beads, be sure to draw the base according to the sketch.

How to Wear a Homemade Beaded Collar

Not every girl decides to wear a made product. Some are shy, others don’t understand how and with what to combine beaded collars. However, you should remember: your accessory is one and only, so you should wear it with pride, combining it correctly with clothing.

The first collars may not turn out particularly smooth. You can avoid this by building up your skills gradually: first, create a product decorated at the edges/corners or embroidered with plain beads. Then move on to complex patterns.

An overlay collar is an excellent pair for a laconic blouse. It will also go well with an evening dress or top. Some people wear embroidered collars with sweaters, creating the illusion of a shirt underneath. In summer, the accessory can be worn even with simple T-shirts - this will add style and uniqueness to the look. Remember: if you wear a beaded collar, you should avoid additional jewelry around the neck.

A collar is a piece of clothing used to decorate the neck. The turn-down collar is the most commonly used style; it suits many types of products. Since this element is in plain sight, it is important to sew it carefully.

Sewing a flat collar

Turn-down collars can be flat-lying or stand-up. The method of connecting the turn-down collar to the neck depends on the shape of the style of this part. Cut out a flat gate from two parts - lower and upper. Reinforce the lower part with adhesive interlining to give it shape. Place the pieces right sides together and sew them in, stitching along the edge and leaving the bottom edge unstitched. Trim seam allowances and cut corners diagonally. Turn the product inside out and iron it.

A simple way to attach a collar to a neckline is to place it between the garment and the inner hem and stitch it together. Along the bottom edge of the collar, grab it by basting, fastening the ends overlapping. Pin it to the front side of the product. Cut out the facing, place it face inward along the neckline, pin it together, and machine stitch all the layers. Remove the pins, trim the seam allowances, turn the facing onto the product, press and topstitch, closing the stitching seam. Cover or fold the open edge of the facing and sew it with a hidden seam.

On light items: blouses, shirts, there is often no facing. In this case, fix the bottom layer of the collar at the neck, leaving the upper part free. Sew with a machine stitch, press the seam inside the collar. Place the upper part of the collar over the seam, bend the cut by 5-6 mm, secure with pins and machine stitch it or hem it by hand with blind stitches.

How to sew a stand collar

If your model is a turn-down collar with a detachable stand, then it will consist of a detachable part and the stand itself. Connect the parts of the take-off part to each other by folding them right sides inward. Carefully align all the cuts and baste, and then stitch, stepping back from the edge by 1 cm. Turn the collar inside out and straighten the corners.

Now mark a line for stitching the flying part on the racks. Place the stand pieces facing each other, insert the collar part between them, aligning the stitching lines, fasten everything with a running stitch or pins and machine stitch it.

Sew the ends of the stand and turn it right side out. Iron the finished collar. Fold the bottom part of the rack and the product right sides together, lay a 1 cm wide stitch along the neckline, cut off the seam allowances, leaving 0.5 cm. Cover it with the upper part of the rack, fold the cut and carefully sew with a machine stitch, stepping back from the edge by 1-2 mm.
