Back in the middle of the last century, a scarf with a throat entered the wardrobe of every fashionista. All thanks to the famous Christian Dior, who first introduced this accessory to his collections.
A scarf with a neck and shoulders will become an indispensable accessory in a winter wardrobe. It is easy to knit on your own, knitting or crocheting, without special skills.
A scarf with a neck or shirt front is a poncho with a throat and shortened to the middle of the chest or along the shoulder line. Sometimes the shirt-front has a double-necked neck that resembles a sweater. Due to its shape, this accessory is able to protect not only the neck, but also the chest and back from wind and frost.
But it is a mistake to believe that a scarf with a neck and shoulders is only a winter option. If it is knitted from a thin thread, then it can be safely worn on a cool summer evening as a cape.
There are several types of scarf with a throat and shoulders. It all depends on the execution of the shirt shirt. If it is knitted, then it can be seamless with a simple design. Or with decorative connectors. They act not only as an element of decor, but also from a practical point of view, especially if it is a children's scarf.
In addition to decor and knitting, scarves with a throat differ in their execution technique. It depends on who the scarf is knitted for. Female models can be filled with various ornaments and decorative elements. Male models are more restrained, laconic and limited to minimalist patterns in the Scandinavian style or with bumps and braids.
Models
With the passage of time and the emergence of new trends, a scarf with a throat and shoulders noticeably changed its style and orientation. Today it is not just a warming scarf. It can be an independent element of the image like a regular scarf or a scarf-collar with the addition of volume.
It should be noted that no matter what model, the shirt-scarf is a very practical accessory.Because of its integrity, it will not untie and subside. The advantage is that you do not need to spend time tying and modeling.
When purchasing this accessory in your wardrobe you need to decide what to wear with. Of course, it will complement any outerwear, but it is best to wear it with a fur coat or coat, avoiding uncomfortable sweaters.
A round neck scarf with button-down shoulders is a very practical accessory. The button in this model performs not only a functional nature and adjusts the size, but also serves as a decorative element.
As for the material, it must be borne in mind that it will very tightly touch the skin, so it should be hypoallergenic. Choose a combination of natural and artificial yarns.
The most suitable combinations will be obtained from wool, cashmere, angora, mohair and acrylic, viscose and polyester. In addition, you can choose a melange thread that will create your own unique pattern.
How to tie a neck?
Having figured out which yarns should be used in the manufacture of a scarf with a throat, select the knitting needles and the desired model.
You can knit such a scarf in two ways: starting from the neck or from the bottom of the product.
Consider the first option.
On knitting needles are loops in a multiple of four. Then they are knitted with an elastic band along the height of the neck. After that, all the loops are divided into four parts, both at the beginning and at the end of each part, two are knitted in one loop. Knit the right number of rows this way and close the stitches.
For an adult seamless pattern, it is best to use stocking knitting needles.
