Summer blouse with crochet boat collar. Three simple ways to knit a spectacular neckline on a summer blouse

Quite often, needlewomen experience difficulties when calculating and knitting the neckline in models of their own composition. This is especially true for products knitted with complex patterns. And often the result is a completely uninteresting neckline, as they say, “neither the mind nor the heart”... So the craftswomen are forced to knit the same “bob” or V-shaped neckline, like the simplest ones.
I will share with you my many years of experience and offer 3 very simple and effective options for knitting a neckline - a boat neckline, a deep oval neckline and a sweetheart neckline.
It doesn’t matter how you knit your blouse (or dress) - on knitting needles or on a machine. The technique I suggest works great in both cases.

Let's start with the boat neckline.

The depth of the cutout on the shelf is standard for all sizes and is 7 cm. On the back – 2-3 cm.
The shoulder width in this case should be no more than 7-8 cm, otherwise the neckline will not look beautiful.
To get a beautiful boat line, you need to do simple calculations:
subtract 12 loops from the total number of neck loops - for example, 50 - 12 = 38. That is, you need to immediately close 38 loops (19 loops to the right and left of the center of your blouse).
Then make the rounded edges of the “boat”:
when knitting on knitting needles, you need to sequentially close 3, 2, 1 loops on both sides of the neck (12 loops in total - 6 on each side), and then knit the remaining part of the shoulder up in a straight line;
When knitting on a machine, the method of shortened rows is used, and the number of loops is the same - 3,2,1.

Deep oval neckline

The depth of this neckline is also standard for all sizes and is 20 cm. The shoulder width is 10-12 cm, depending on the size.
The knitting principle is the same as in the previous case, i.e. the central part of the loops is closed and then 6 loops (3,2,1 loops) are sequentially closed on both sides. The only difference is the height of the cutout.

Sweetheart Neckline

I call this neckline shape a “sweetheart”, but this is an approximate name and you, of course, will not get an obvious heart shape. Yes, it is not necessary. And so beautiful and impressive. This is essentially a variation of the V-neck.
So, let's take a closer look.
Shoulder width – 10-12 cm, neckline depth – 20-22 cm.
Regardless of the number of neck loops and the depth of the neckline, the height of the “oblique” part should be approximately 1/3 of the total value. The main thing is that you feel comfortable closing the loops.
In our example, you need to bind off 20 loops, that is, bind off 2 loops 10 times in each even row (or every other row). Next, knit the shoulder in a straight line.
And at the end, “decorate the cake with a cherry.” Here are simple but effective crochet patterns for the neck of your adorable new blouse:


Creative success!

Knitting the neckline is one of the most important moments in the process of creating any sweater, jacket or dress. A sloppily made, unevenly sewn or stretched neckline will ruin even a beautiful and original product. How to make it frame it, emphasizing only its advantages? We'll talk about this in today's master class! Our tips and step-by-step instructions will help you quickly and easily learn how to knit and process various types of necklines, and the finished item will always look stylish and neat.

Option one: smooth edge

This type of knitting of the neckline is universal: it is suitable both for products for children and for framing “adult” clothes.

To create it, you should knit all the cast-on loops in seven rows of k. P..

Turn the knitting inside out and carefully, not tightly, using an overlock stitch, sew the edge to the finished product.

From the wrong side of the binding it will look like this:

From the front side, the treatment looks perfectly smooth.

Option two: decorative small zigzags

Another simple decorative neckband that even novice craftswomen can do.
To begin with, we make seven rows of l. P..

We do the eighth row as follows: 2 l. p.vm. l..

Then we make a yarn over, and again 2 liters. p.vm., yarn over again, and so on until the end of this row.

Having reached the purl row, all stitches of the previous row should be knitted only purl.

Now we will need another joint. as an auxiliary stitch, we cast on loops from the cast-on row.

Now the binding is bent in half lengthwise along the pattern line. After this, right sp. grab the item from the far back..

We put it on the back, which is in front.

We knit from the front sp. 2 p.vm. facial (crossed and own). This will give us a row of small cloves.

This is how the processing should look from the inside out:

Front side of the neck:

Option three: tying the neckline with knitting needles using binding

This processing is the most popular and ultimately gives a one-piece neck, so the binding is done with circular knitting needles.

On the side, along the neckline, we collect stitches from the row located under the edge stitch.

At the end, we pull them out with knitting needles from each subsequent stitch, but one row lower - this way we smooth out the neckline.

Having reached the horizontal part, we pull out the loops from the edge loops with knitting needles. It is important to remember that, in order to avoid deformation of the cutout, you should skip every 5th loop.

Having finished casting on stitches along the entire length, we begin knitting in any usual way. You can, for example, do this with a 1 x 1 or 2 x 2 elastic band.

Option four: separate binding (first method)

This treatment is also universal for tying the necks of products for adults and children.
Using regular knitting needles, cast on the number of sts we need, then “rib” for seven rows.

Now we compare two loops - from the binding and from the neckline, and connect them using a free kettel stitch.

We start it from the wrong side, inserting the needle and thread immediately into the second loop, then bring the needle out from top to bottom to the back side through the first loop. Next, at the bottom we bring the needle into the third stitch, and from the front side to the back side into the second and then by analogy, thus connecting the frame and the cutout on both sides.

If we do everything correctly, the processing will look like this:

Neck with kettel stitch: video master class

Option five: separate binding (second method)

Another way to tie the neck separately.

Using knitting needles, cast on the required number of stitches, then use a 2 x 2 elastic band.

Having made 7 rows in this way, we perform double knitting. We remove the first edge with knitting needles without knitting, yarn over, l. p. and so on until the end of the row.

In the next row, remove the purl stitches without knitting, always keeping the thread in front.

Having reached the yarn overs of the previous row, we knit them with facial loops.

Turn the knitting over.

We continue further: reaching the yarn overs, knitting. from l. p., remove all other p. without knitting, always keep the thread in front. Having knitted three more rows, we divide the knitting in half into 2 separate sp. Close the loops on one of the joints. in the manner described above.

We smooth out this part well and the second one, which remains with open stitches for now. We apply the parts one to the other and sew them together with a quilt stitch.

We sew the part with open loops on the wrong side using an overlock stitch.

As a result, we will end up with processing like this:

Option six: double binding

We monitor the smoothness of the lines.

After processing the part and making the seams, we cast on circular sp. loops along the edge: divide the edge into sections of 10 cm each, cast on sts at the rate of “number of sts + 3-4 sts.” Now we alternate 2 liters. p. and 2 i. p. (“elastic band” 2 x 2) or 1 l. p. and 1 and. p. (“elastic band” 1 x 1), the number of p. is a multiple of four or, respectively, two.

Having knitted the frame, we loosely close all the stitches, cut the thread, leaving a long tail. We fold the knitting in half, turn it inward and pin it with pins, sew the closed edge to the neckline.

Option seven: V-neck (first method)

We start by casting on sts, as shown in the photo below.

After casting on the loops, you can start knitting 1x1 elastic.

The height should be selected depending on the type of product.
Upon completion of work, all items should be closed like l. p.. At the cape we sew the edges together using thread and a needle.

Option eight: V-neck (second method)

We cast on the loops in the usual way, starting from the shoulder side.

We knit one row of l in the circle. p., mark the corner p.. Then we continue, alternating l. p. and i. p., there should be faces on the corners. p., if necessary, here you can add or subtract additional p..
In all rows of elastic, we remove the corner and previous stitches together, as with knit stitches. knitting, and knit the next stitch and pull the removed stitches through it..

We make the binding of the width we need and close the loops. We perform angular decreases as when fastening the loops.

Variation tenth: with binding and Italian edge

We start like double binding, but for the elastic band we knit 1 x 1, alternating l. p. and i. P..

In the last 4 pp. take sp. half a size smaller and continue. knit the neckline.
In the first of the last 4 pp. every l. We remove the item, as with facial expressions. elm., and pull the thread past the point..
I. p. as i. P..

In the words r., each and. n. we remove, as with the inside out. elm., and stretch the thread in front of the stitch..
L. p. like l. P..

Once again repeat. these two r. and fasten the last point. R..

Variation eleven: “boat” treatment with elastic band

We process the neck with an elastic band. A basic diagram of the back is made, on which we draw another line and a finishing strip, 6 cm wide. The front diagram is similar.

We knit the front and back “squares” to the finishing strip, then knit 1 x 1 or 2 x 2 elastic for 3 cm, changing the sp number. through each 2-3 r. from larger to smaller, now we change sp. from smaller number to larger number at the same intervals. We complete the plank several times. R. auxiliary n. and, without closing the last paragraph. p., remove the knitting from the back..

We do the same with the front part, then we sew them along the shoulders, fold the strip in half, baste it, then the “boat” is sewn with a quilt stitch to the wrong side of the product.

Variation twelfth: “boat” in stocking stitch

A diagram of the product is made, on which we draw a new cutout line and a 2.5 cm strip.
Upon completion of the main work, knit. 2.5 cm stocking stitch, then several. R. auxiliary thread, do not close the st, remove the work from the sp. and make the front part. The basted boat is sewn with a kettel stitch, without passing the needle to the faces. side of the product - grab only half the thickness of the thread.

The neckline is the final part of a jacket or raglan. Most often, this is a tapering part of the upper part of the product, which fits loosely or semi-loosely to the throat. A correctly knitted neckline will make the product beautiful and neat; an incorrectly completed product will be unsuitable for wear and outwardly ugly. Knitting a neckline using regular knitting needles is an important step in knitting almost any product.

Let's take a step-by-step look at how to knit a neckband.

We learn how to knit a high-quality neckline with knitting needles in a master class

For knitting binding, circular knitting needles are used. They make it much easier to pick up loops located along the edge of the fabric. This neckline does not need to be sewn, it will be integral with the product and will look beautiful on the finished item.

Loops are cast on along the edge of the fabric with one knitting needle. These can be edge loops, but open loops or ones cast on below the edge ones look better in work. It should be remembered that when casting on loops, the neckline is conventionally divided into several parts, and for each part the loops are cast on in a special way. On flat areas, the knitting needle is inserted under the edge and the thread is pulled out. It is recommended to skip every fourth loop.

On curved areas of the neckline, the cutout is aligned with knitting needles.

Each subsequent loop is knitted from the corresponding one, but one row lower. When the loops are cast on, knit the neckline. The first row is knitted in the classic rib sequence - knit - purl.

Binding with a middle loop.

The knitting needle is inserted into the first loop from the left shoulder seam and stitches are evenly picked up along the entire neckline. Then the closed loop at the front cape is knitted either with a knit stitch or a knit stitch crossed. After this, knit in a circle according to the pattern.

The first row is knitted with an elastic band. Having tied to the middle of the cape, the central loop is removed as a front loop. The next loop is knitted according to the pattern - knit or purl. Then they pull it through the removed loops. Thus, out of three loops, one comes out. The sequence of decreasing to the front cape is repeated several more times until the neck trim is the desired height. After this, all loops are closed with a needle to ensure the elasticity of the knitted edge.

Knitting bob binding.

Starting from the left shoulder seam, stitches are cast on along the neckline. In this case there will be two middle loops in the corners of the cutout. From the closed middle loop, knit a loop with a knitted stitch. Subsequent operations are performed in the same way as when knitting binding with a middle loop.

Boat neckline.

The boat neckline is suitable for women's models. It involves slightly open shoulders, most often to the level that the bones of the collarbones are visible. This collar turns out to be very feminine. A beautiful, delicate neck, decorated with beads, looks very advantageous with such a collar.

A pullover knitted according to patterns turns out to be light, delicate, and openwork.

Pullovers with a boat neck are an ideal option for those who are knitting a large item for the first time. Such products are knitted from two rectangles, garter stitch or any pattern, the front and back are absolutely identical.

Rectangles form a dropped armhole. And the neckline turns out by itself. If desired, such a neckline can be tied with knitting needles, forming a 1x1 elastic band. This elastic band will fit tightly to the shoulders and the neckline will look more advantageous.

Pullover with a boat neck.

We offer a description for knitting a pullover for sizes 42 – 44.

Knitting density: 24 stitches by 32 rows = 10 by 10 cm in stockinette stitch on 4 mm needles.

Back and front: cast on 109 stitches on the knitting needles, and knit with an English rib 1x1 (1 knit - 1 purl) 5 cm. Finish knitting in the purl row, and continue from the knit stitch with stockinette stitch to a height of 51 cm from the first cast-on edge. Using smaller knitting needles, make a 1x1 rib 2.5 cm long. The stitches are cast off.

Sleeves: cast on 49 stitches on 4 mm needles. 5 cm of fabric is knitted with a 1x1 rib, the knitting ends in the purl row, then knitting in stockinette stitch continues. In each row, an increase is made by 1 loop on each side, then an increase is made in every 4th row 5 times. Then - in every 6th row 18 times. In total there should be 97 loops at the end. After 48.5 cm from the first row, the loops are closed.

Gathering: Shoulder seams are gathered from edge to center. The sleeves are sewn in such a way that the shoulder seam is located in the center of the sleeve. The side seams are sewn together, as well as the sleeve seams.

Knitting a neckline with knitting needles is easy to master. To do this, you must follow the recommendations of the master class and strictly follow the sequence of knitting all the loops.

A selection of videos will help you better understand how to knit a neckline using knitting needles.

Before starting knitting, take the necessary measurements. The pullover is knitted in the round without seams with raglan sleeves.

Pullover description:

FRONT and BACK

We cast on the required number of loops (even) on stocking needles, knit with an elastic band 2x2 6cm, then according to pattern No. 1 we knit the required height to the armholes, set aside the work.

Let's move on to knitting the SLEEVES:

cast on the required number of loops (odd) on stocking needles, knit with an elastic band 2x2 6cm, then according to pattern No. 1, the required length to the armholes. To widen the sleeve, we make increases on both sides of the last loop, including new loops in the pattern. On all parts, close the armholes in 8 stitches, transfer the front loops to circular knitting needles, then the sleeve loops, back loops, sleeve loops - knit raglan (knit according to pattern No. 1). Continue knitting the raglan in 10 rows according to pattern No. 2, making the necessary decreases for cutting the neckline. Next, we continue working with a 2x2 elastic band (about 14 rows), close the loops.
