Openwork scarf

Tastefully selected accessory often sets the tone for the whole ensemble. In this regard, various 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 around your neck, and your look will sparkle in a completely new way - romantic and stylish at the same time.

Exquisite openwork accessories can be made with knitting needles or crocheted. At the same time, depending on the characteristics and thickness of the yarn, it can be knitted as a light demi-season scarf, or a warm winter female attribute.

If we are talking about knitting, then there are several options:

• A simple one-piece pattern.
• An ornament made up of fragments.
• Composition of several drawings.

The first method of execution is very simple: a rectangular product is knitted according to the selected pattern to the required length.

The second option is more suitable for experienced needlewomen - the fabric of the scarf is made up of individual openwork motifs. This is a very painstaking job.

The last type of knitting is the most difficult to perform. The composition of the picture is often made by the craftswomen on their own, since it is problematic to find a ready-made scheme. The most popular element of such scarves is openwork leaves, which are played in various variations.

In this regard, a seamless tube scarf or a collar, which will be discussed later, becomes a good solution for openwork models.

Speaking about interesting and beautiful ornaments, which are simple in execution, we will single out the "cobweb" pattern.A scarf knitted with such a pattern outwardly seems to be simply weightless.

Also popular are zigzag, pineapple, rhombus, peacock tail, stars, etc.

Products made with a wavy pattern look great. In addition, this ornament allows you to easily combine threads of different colors and structures.

Often, when knitting a scarf, embossed braids, plaits and bumps are added to the openwork pattern. Considering the composition of ornaments combined from various patterns, the following pattern is often observed: the openwork parts of the canvas are successively replaced by either columns from the front or purl loops or braids (as an option, with braids).

It should be noted that an openwork pattern can occupy the entire fabric of a 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 an openwork scarf are often decorated with fringes, which can be joined in a checkerboard pattern. Some smart models are decorated with beads, bright rhinestones, bugles.

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, a lace ribbon is often used as an edging to the edge of a scarf.

Of all the crochet varieties, the most difficult is Irish lace. There is a lot of room for playing with color and texture, you can create a variety of motives and elements - in general, a pattern that is unique in its beauty is obtained, which 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 three-row volumetric petals. The technique of execution includes knitting individual motifs, laying them out on a sketch or pattern, and at the end connecting them into a solid composition with a lattice.

Speaking of openwork accessories, one should mention such an important thing for Orthodox women as a wedding cape. This thing is a key component of the bride's image during the wedding ceremony, made with the most delicate openwork pattern, and 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 also be worn at christenings.

Speaking about the color scheme of elegant openwork scarves, we note that today products of bright and rich colors (coral, turquoise, lemon) are popular. The classic white accessory looks especially gentle and sophisticated. Pastel colors are close to it: beige, sand, pink, milky shades.

For the manufacture of openwork scarves, melange and sectional yarns are also very often used. Moreover, accessories, consisting of several colors, smoothly flowing from dark to light shades, have become a real trend this season.

Long and short, wide and narrow, straight and curly models of openwork scarves are popular among fashionistas of various ages.

A long openwork accessory that can be tied around the neck several times is in demand both in the cold season and in the off-season. Warm winter options are knitted from a specific yarn and more often include Aran patterns in the drawing. Note that a long openwork scarf with ruffles is popular this season.

A scarf-baktus in the shape of a headscarf is a wonderful youth option. And openwork knitting adds even more originality to it.

One of the most popular models is a stylish snood scarf made with an openwork pattern. This is a great alternative to a set of a hat and a regular scarf.

Wide openwork scarves - stoles, wrapping fragile shoulders, can create a romantic charming image.

Warm versions of openwork scarves are made, as a rule, of thick wool and acrylic, angora and mohair.

In warmer seasons, products made of cotton, linen, viscose and silk are relevant.

It should be noted that especially beautiful and refined accessories are obtained from viscose 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 decide on the yarn, it is advisable for the needlewoman to initially knit a small sample to make sure that the color and texture of the thread are combined with the selected pattern.

In spring and autumn, a light openwork scarf is successfully combined with a cotton raincoat or knitted cardigan. At the same time, a beret or a felt hat will look harmonious as a headdress. But in general, openwork is most effectively combined with loose curls. From shoes, such an ensemble will complement ankle boots or wedge boots.

Combine a winter openwork accessory with a knitted or fur hat. By the way, often openwork scarves come complete with headdresses (berets, caps, knitted hats).

The color of the hat-openwork scarf set can coincide with outerwear or contrast with it. The look will be perfectly complemented by comfortable ugg boots, boots or high-heeled or platform boots. Round off the ensemble with a practical leather tote.

It is important not only to correctly combine an openwork scarf with the rest of your clothes, but also to knit it effectively. Stylists advise to wrap a long product around the neck several times, and lower the ends down or leave one end thrown over the back. Also, a beautifully designed knot, located asymmetrically, looks original.

Alternatively, you can tie a warm accessory on your head in cold weather, and gently drape the rest of the neckline.

Putting on a stylish openwork scarf, you don't have to worry about jewelry on the neck, since it successfully replaces them, being a bright accent of the whole ensemble. And if you always want to look fresh and new, but at the same time are constrained in funds, purchase several openwork accessories of different styles and colors.
