Knitted coat

Every woman wants to be not just beautiful, but unique. Fashion house designers are constantly on the lookout for new ideas that embody this desire.

Knitted coats can be summer and warm. Summer can be considered as an additional decorative element of the summer outfit. A warm coat is a demi-season option, it is great for off-season and warm winter, looks like a long warm cardigan.

Unmistakably recognizable, appropriate in almost any situation, a two-color Chanel cardigan coat. Today, this style is considered to be exquisite Parisian, and once Coco Chanel just stated that “a woman should be able to bend down to put on her shoes”, and created the first collection of models from knitted fabric, not considering what was considered fabric for the poor.

Coat knitted using the patchwork technique. The initial goal of any patchwork is not necessarily pursued - the economical use of fabric or, in this case, yarn, but if you knit a coat yourself from the remains of multi-colored threads, then achieving this goal will be a pleasant bonus.If the task is not to save, but simply to create an original thing, then fans of the Crazy Patchwork style will gladly welcome you into their ranks and share a ton of new ideas.

If you like the style itself, then a boho-style coat will certainly attract your attention. Simple and sophisticated, careless and chic, romantic and natural, innocent and bohemian imposing, this coat will emphasize your individuality, which means it will be in the spotlight.

This “rustic” style is characterized by convenience and simplicity, which are by no means without appeal. A coat of natural yarn in natural shades - brown, red, white, gray, will not only give you comfort, but will also add a bit of the Wild West to your image.

A variety of models of a knitted coat can satisfy, perhaps, any tastes. The relevance of the silhouette - trapezoidal, straight or round, depends, first of all, on your desires and your own adequate assessment.

Guided by utilitarian considerations, you can choose a simple straight coat with or without lining, depending on the time of year when you are going to wear it. The choice of a double-breasted model, for example, with patch pockets, will decorate even the simplest option without loss of functionality.

• Oversized coat - for self-confident women. It may not be romantic at all, or even as if borrowed from a man’s wardrobe, but its emphasized negligence will make you even more sophisticated. It goes well with a wide cut sleeves such as a kimono or a bat.

• Cocoon coat. Oversize style addition. Smooth lines and wide contours of the cocoon coat are back in fashion. A lowered armhole, a hem narrowed downwards, voluminous sleeves - a properly selected coat in this style, despite the voluminous silhouette, will not make you fat. On the contrary, it will emphasize your fragility - the fragility and beauty of a butterfly that has not yet opened its wings, which this style owes its name to.

• Jacket coat. A cropped, casual knit pattern that resembles an elongated cardigan.

• Poncho coat. Spectacular style, extravagant cut, enhanced functionality and simply fashionable stylish thing. Complemented with a belt and a hood, it will become not only a good protection against the cold, but also one of the favorite items of your warm wardrobe.

• Cape Coat, the style of which is often confused with the style of a poncho, in contrast to which the cape is cut in shape. In the cape, you will not only be original, but also unusually elegant.

• Knitted coat with fur very quickly gained recognition in everyday life and ceased to be the prerogative of the catwalks. The fur is good in itself, but as a finish for pockets, a hood or a collar of a knitted coat, it will add notes of unobtrusive luxury to your look.

• Knitted coat without sleeves. Sleeveless variant, which is not too widespread due to climatic features in our country, is, however, a particularly valuable auto ice taking place.

A great option for everyday wardrobe - a knitted coat for a cool summer, a great addition to an evening wardrobe for any season. Summer coats differ from warm ones in yarn composition and density of knitting.

When choosing a knitted coat, you can focus on different lengths, from a coat-jacket to a knitted floor-length coat, trendy this season, depending on where you are going to wear it and the features of your figure.

However, when choosing the length, it should be borne in mind that such a plastic web, especially long and heavy, will necessarily be prone to stretching.If you liked the rather long model, then it is better to stay on a product with a lining that will not allow it to stretch excessively.

Knitted coats, depending on the style, can have a shawl collar (classic feminine version), a stand-up collar (the same classic, but its more stringent variety), a large collar (trimmed with fancy yarn, down, fur, it focuses on your originality ) or be completely without a collar.

Classic colors (elegant beige, neutral gray, strict black) are out of fashion, which makes it easy to combine a knitted coat of such tones even with a strict business suit. To the place there will also be coffee or ink shades, relevant, according to designers, this season.

The whole gamut from green to blue perfectly matches the sports style. A double-breasted short knitted coat of emerald color will decorate your everyday look in jeans and sneakers.

Caramel shades, rich blue, warm red colors and, of course, sunny yellow of all shades (2016 trend) or mixed tones of melange yarn of such a non-standard element of your wardrobe will look especially cheerful in the warm season.

A knitted fabric with knitted patterns, whether it be jacquard, ethnic patterns or just multi-colored stripes will add to your image spontaneity and originality.

The material from which the knitted coat is made can also be the most diverse. This knitted knitwear for everyday comfort, which does not require special care, and fluffy types of yarn - cool “grass” for the summer and weightless, but very warm and elegant modern mohair with silk for a cooler season, which will require attention and care, but will reward you beauty and comfort. Products made of bookled yarn look very impressive.

Purely woolen yarn, including alpaca, angora, merino, has all the advantages of natural wool: they are warm, with proper care they do not roll and do not deform, therefore they do not lose their good appearance for a long time. However, it should be borne in mind that, for example, a product from alpaca, natural camel hair, is likely to be pricked, so you should choose a coat of this yarn only on a lining. Angora will delight you with its softness and comfort, but soon enough it will just peel off, since the rabbit's fluff comes out even when mixing different fibers.

Knitted coats according to the method of knitting are divided into two types: knitted manually or on a knitting machine (individual or industrial version). Handicrafts are knitted in various ways using tools: the most common are a hook (regular or Tunisian) and knitting needles, the less known are a fork, ruler (Peruvian knitting), tenerife, that is, a frame with pins (knitting individual motifs).

A coat can be knitted with motifs or a straight canvas using very different types of patterns. The simplest of them (does not mean completely uninteresting or irrelevant) is the front surface and garter stitch.Available for both manual and machine knitting, very good for coats of large knitting, when attention is focused on the yarn itself.

For the evening version of a summer knitted coat with or without lining, one can also use a very different from the Aran, but also the Irish technique of guipure or coupling lace.

A knitted fabric obtained by a machine method, of course, cannot boast of such a variety of patterns, however, it is always very smooth and pleasant. In addition, it is suitable for people who do not know how to knit themselves or do not really like hand made.

The coat does not have to be fully tied. The combination of fabric and knitted fabric in itself is very beautiful. Combined models look interesting and unbroken: a leather coat with a knitted collar and knitted sleeves, and the collar can also consist of two parts - the inside is from the top fabric and the outside is knitted.

A knitted coat can be decorated initially or after purchase by its owner. To decorate such a product, braid, sequins, fur, lace can be used.

The characteristic flying silhouette of a short and maxi-length trendy fitted knitted coat is suitable for girls who want to create a luxuriously feminine look. Young women who lead an active lifestyle will love cardigans-coats, made in a sports style, complemented by a hood. Romance ladies choose lace summer knitted coats.

A well-chosen model of a knitted coat will help full women to correct the flaws of the figure and shift emphasis to smooth feminine lines. Lush ladies are most suitable for a loose coat of a trapezoidal silhouette or a cape coat. The pattern is best chosen smooth and vertical.

A woman who, in her opinion, has a full waist and large hips, should pay attention to a shortened coat, the hem of which is decorated with tassels, which stretches the silhouette and makes it more slim. An interesting and boring solution will be an asymmetric coat, in which the fullness is concealed due to the fact that one shelf comes on another.

A pregnant woman needs special comfort and coziness. For happy expectant mothers, soft knitted coats made of natural yarn of free style or with a high waist are especially suitable.

• The best option for all time has been and remains the option of combining coat-pants. Different styles of coats, from shortened to maxi length + different styles of trousers, from classic to shorts + different shoes, from stilettos to low-heeled boots = unlimited number of looks.
• Light fabrics of dresses and blouses, for example, chiffon, as practice shows, go well with a coat with a heavy knitting texture. The image is touching and defenseless.
• The fantasy texture of a yarn or coat with three-dimensional patterns requires a combination of simple cuts with things to avoid overload.

• Warm knitted coats from Tracy Reese - in fact, cardigans - combine beauty and comfort, simplicity and sophistication.
• D. Dolce and S. Gabban had the Scandinavian patterns in honor, with which they adorned their collection of knitted coats.
• Sonia Riquel is a romantic in pink shades, which further emphasizes the wave-like frame.

And in conclusion - a few words about the simple rules for caring for a knitted coat, which will allow you to enjoy for a long time not the most standard, but one of the most original elements of your wardrobe.

• Knitwear in general, and knitted coats, in particular, should be inspected more often to detect contaminants in time and get rid of them while they are fresh. From time to time, such products need to be ventilated, but in no case under direct sunlight. It is better if the closet in which your knitted coat is stored is not clogged “to the eyeballs”, such a thing needs to be “breathed”.
• Wash a knitted coat with caution, following the instructions on the labels if it was bought in a store or instructions for caring for a specific yarn if you knitted the coat yourself. Do not wash and, moreover, dry such a thing in a washing machine. It is better to do it manually, and dry in a horizontal form, without hanging. In some cases, it is best to use dry cleaning services.
