Tastefully selected accessory often sets the tone for the whole ensemble. In this regard, all sorts of popular scarves. And such a model as an exquisite openwork scarf best emphasizes the tenderness and femininity of its owner. Just tie it around your neck, and your image will play in a completely new way - romantic and stylish at the same time.
Models
Exquisite openwork accessories can be made as knitting and crocheting. At the same time, depending on the characteristics and thickness of the yarn, it can be connected as a light demi-season scarf, as well as a warm winter women's attribute.
If we are talking about knitting, then there are several options:
- Simple one-piece pattern.
- Ornament, composed of fragments.
- The composition of several drawings.
The first method of execution is very simple: a rectangular product knits in the chosen pattern to the required length.
The second option is more suitable for experienced needlewomen - the scarf canvas is made up of individual openwork motifs. This is a very hard work.
The last type of knitting is the most difficult to perform. The composition of the drawing masters often make up their own, because the finished scheme is difficult to find. The most popular element of these scarves - is openwork leaves, which are played up in different variations.
It should be noted a slight lack of delicate openwork scarves - this is an unpresentable kind of seamy side, which can spoil the appearance of the accessory. Therefore, it is necessary to carefully stack and drape it around the neck, showing only a beautiful front side.
In this regard, a seamless scarf tube or collar, which will be discussed later, becomes a good solution for the openwork patterns.
Speaking of interesting and beautiful ornaments that are simple in execution, let’s highlight the “gossamer” pattern. The scarf associated with such a pattern looks just weightless.
Also popular are the patterns of zigzag, pineapple, diamonds, peacock tail, asterisks, etc.
Looks great products made wavy pattern. In addition, this ornament makes it easy to combine threads of different colors and patterns.
Often, when knitting a scarf, embossed braids, plaits and knobs are added to the openwork pattern. Considering the composition of the ornaments combined from various patterns, such a pattern is often observed: the openwork parts of the canvas are successively replaced with either columns of facial or back loops or braids (as an option - with harnesses).
If the needlewoman chose a similar pattern for knitting a scarf, then she should be more careful and accurately calculate the loops. It is necessary to position the picture so that the product is symmetrical with equally made edges. It is advisable to knit a small decorative strip at both ends of the scarf.
It should be noted that the openwork pattern can occupy the entire canvas of the scarf or only its separate part. For example, only the hem of the product can be openwork or, conversely, the central part - both options are interesting in their own way.
The edges of the openwork scarf are often decorated with fringe, which can be connected in a checkerboard pattern. Some elegant models adorn beads, bright rhinestones, glass beads.
Unusual crochet technique - ribbon lace. In this case, the tapes can be of different widths - this is due to the pattern and thickness of the threads. By the way, lace ribbon is often used as a border edging scarf.
Of all the crochet varieties, the most difficult is Irish lace.There is a lot of room for a game with color and texture, you can create a variety of motifs and elements - in general, you get a uniquely beautiful drawing that is unlikely to leave anyone indifferent.
The classic elements of Irish lace are different types of leaves, a bunch of grapes and a rose with three-dimensional volume petals. The technique of execution includes knitting of individual motifs, laying them out on a sketch or pattern, and at the end combining them into a whole composition with a lattice.
Speaking of openwork accessories, it is necessary to mention such important things for Orthodox women as a wedding cape. This thing - a key component of the image of the bride during the wedding ceremony, made with the most delicate openwork pattern, will suit her more than a scarf or kerchief. And if the girl has a dress with bare shoulders, then the best option would be a lace stole. By the way, later this thing can be worn on the christening.
Speaking about the color solution of elegant openwork scarves, we note that today products of bright and saturated colors (coral, turquoise, lemon) are popular. The classic white accessory looks especially gentle and sophisticated. Close to it are pastel colors: beige, sand, pink, milky shades.
For the manufacture of lace scarves are also very often used melange and sectional yarn. Moreover, accessories consisting of several colors, smoothly flowing from dark to light shade, have become a real trend of the current season.
Styles
In fashionistas of various ages, long and short, wide and narrow, straight and curly patterns of openwork scarves are popular.
A long openwork accessory that can be tied around the neck several times is in demand during the cold season and during the off-season. Warm winter options are knitted from a certain yarn and more often include Aran patterns in the pattern. Note that in the current season a long lace scarf with ruffles is popular.
The scarf-baktus, having the form of a kerchief, is a wonderful youth variant. And the lace knit adds more originality to it.
One of the most sought-after models is a stylish scarf-snud, made with an openwork pattern. This is a great alternative to a set of hats and a regular scarf.
Wide openwork scarves - stoles, enveloping fragile shoulders, are able to create a romantic charming image.
Materials
Warm variants of openwork scarves are made, as a rule, from thick wool and acrylic, angora and mohair.
In more warm seasons, cotton, flax, viscose and silk products are relevant.
It should be noted that viscose results in particularly beautiful and sophisticated accessories due to the silky and smooth structure of the thread. Cotton and flax are more suitable for creating summer openwork palatine or shawls.
In any case, to determine the yarn, the needlewoman, it is desirable to initially link a small sample to ensure that the color and texture of the thread are combined with the selected pattern.
