A tastefully selected accessory often sets the tone for the entire ensemble. In this regard, all kinds of scarves are popular. And such a model as an exquisite openwork scarf will best emphasize the tenderness and femininity of its owner. Just tie it on the neck, and your image will sparkle in a completely new way - romantic and at the same time stylish.
Models
Exquisite openwork accessories can be made with knitting needles or crochet. Moreover, depending on the characteristics and thickness of the yarn, you can knit both a light demi-season scarf and that warm winter female attribute.
If we are talking about knitting, we can distinguish several options:
- Simple one-piece pattern.
- Ornament composed of fragments.
- Composition of several drawings.
The first method of execution is very simple: the product is rectangular in shape according to the selected pattern to the required length.
The second option is more suitable for experienced needlewomen - the scarf is made up of individual lace motifs. This is a very painstaking job.
The last kind of knitting is the most difficult to perform. The composition of the picture of the craftswoman is often composed independently, since it is problematic to find the finished scheme. The most popular element of such scarves is openwork leaves, which are played out in various variations.
It should be noted an insignificant shortcoming of delicate openwork scarves - this is an unpresentable appearance of the wrong side, which can spoil the appearance of the accessory. Therefore, it is necessary to carefully lay and drape it around the neck, demonstrating only the beautiful front side.
In this regard, a successful solution for openwork models is a seamless scarf pipe or collar, which will be discussed later.
Speaking of interesting and beautiful ornaments, which are at the same time simple to execute, we highlight the “spider line” pattern.The scarf connected by such a pattern seems outwardly weightless.
Also popular are the zigzag, pineapple, rhombus, peacock tail, starlets, etc.
Looks wonderful products made wavy pattern. In addition, this ornament makes it easy to combine threads of various colors and structures.
Often when knitting a scarf, relief braids, plaits and cones are added to the openwork pattern. When considering the composition of ornaments combined from various patterns, such a regularity is often observed: the openwork parts of the canvas are successively replaced by either columns of front or back loops or braids (as an option, by bundles).
If the needlewoman chose a similar pattern for knitting a scarf, then she should be more attentive and accurately calculate the loops. It is necessary to arrange the drawing so that the product is symmetrical with equally executed edges. It is advisable to knit a small decorative strip on both ends of the scarf.
It should be noted that the openwork pattern can occupy the entire canvas of the scarf or only a separate part of it. For example, only the border of the product can be openwork or, on the contrary, 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 staggered. Some elegant models adorn beads, bright rhinestones, bugles.
An unusual crochet technique is ribbon lace. At the same time, 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 on the edge of a scarf.
Of all the crochet varieties, the hardest part is Irish lace. There is a lot of room for playing with color and texture, you can create a variety of motifs and elements - in general, you get a unique in its beauty pattern that is unlikely to leave anyone indifferent.
The classic elements of Irish lace include different types of leaves, a bunch of grapes and a rose with voluminous petals in three rows. The technique of execution includes knitting individual motifs, laying them out on a sketch or pattern and at the end combining them into an integral composition with a lattice.
Speaking of openwork accessories, it is necessary to mention such an important thing for Orthodox women as a wedding cape. This thing is a key component of the image of the bride during the wedding ceremony, made by delicate delicate lace pattern, will suit her more than a scarf or scarf. 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 christening.
Speaking about the color scheme of elegant delicate scarves, we note that today the products of bright and saturated colors (coral, turquoise, lemon) are popular. A classic white accessory looks especially gentle and sophisticated. Pastel colors are close to it: beige, sand, pink, milk shades.
For the manufacture of lace scarves, very often used melange and section yarn. Moreover, accessories consisting of several colors, flowing smoothly from dark to light shade, have become a real trend of the current season.
Styles
Long and short, wide and narrow, straight and curly models of openwork scarves are popular with fashionistas of various ages.
A long openwork accessory that you can tie around the neck several times is in demand both in 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 drawing. Note that this season a long openwork scarf with ruffles is popular.
A scarf-shaped bactus scarf is a wonderful youth option. And openwork knitting adds to it even more originality.
One of the most popular models is a stylish scarf-snood made with an openwork pattern. This is a great alternative to a set of hats and a regular scarf.
Wide openwork scarves - stoles wrapping fragile shoulders, can create a romantic charming image.
Materials
Warm variations of openwork scarves are made, as a rule, of thick wool and acrylic, angora and mohair.
In warmer seasons, items made of cotton, linen, viscose and silk are relevant.
It should be noted that viscose makes especially beautiful and exquisite accessories due to the silky and smooth structure of the thread. Cotton and linen are more suitable for creating a summer openwork stole or shawl.
In any case, in order to determine the yarn, it is advisable for the needlewoman to initially tie a small sample to make sure that the color and texture of the thread are combined with the selected pattern.
What to wear?
In spring and autumn, a light openwork scarf is successfully combined with a cotton cloak or a knitted cardigan. At the same time, a beret or felt hat will harmoniously look like a headdress. But in general, lace is most effectively combined with loose curls. From shoes, such an ensemble will be complemented by ankle boots or wedge boots.
Combine the winter openwork accessory with a knitted or fur hat. By the way, often openwork scarves come with hats (berets, caps, knitted hats).
In color, the set of hat-openwork scarf can match with outer clothing or contrast with it. Comfortable uggs, boots or high-heeled shoes or a platform perfectly complement the look. Round off the ensemble with a practical leather handbag.
It is important not only to combine the openwork scarf with the rest of the clothes correctly, but also to tie it effectively. Stylists advise wrapping a long product several times around the neck, and lower the tips down or leave one end thrown over your back. A beautifully designed unit located asymmetrically also looks original.
As an option - you can tie a warm accessory on your head in cold weather, and gently drape the rest of the neck.
Putting on a stylish openwork scarf, you can not worry about jewelry around the neck, since it successfully replaces them, being a bright accent of the entire ensemble. And if you always want to look fresh and in a new way, but at the same time constrained in your means, get a few delicate accessories of different styles and colors.
