Top-Down: One-Piece Crocheted Garments

Top-Down: One-Piece Crocheted Garments

“I don't know about you, but the course has flown by for me. I hope you enjoyed it as much as I did and that we fill the world with top-down garments. Next, I am going to review the different phases to follow to develop the final project: Preparation The first step when designing the jacket is to draw a sketch defining parameters such as the width of the jacket, the length, the type of sleeves, etc. With this clear, it's time to find the material that best suits your project. I have opted for the Casasol Original Veggie Wool and 6.5mm crochet hook.

Starting to knit Next, you have to take the measurements. As we saw in Unit 2 of the course, thanks to my simplified formula, I have managed to pass these socks to the necessary stitches with which to start knitting. With all this clear, begin to knit the first round and differentiate the 5 parts that make up the garment, marking them with markers. Bodice The next thing is to knit the yoke always doing the same type of increase. Jacket length Now it's time to work the length of the jacket. When I finished the yoke, I tried it on to make sure it was ready, and then I separated the stitches corresponding to the sleeves and left them waiting to continue knitting only the length of the jacket. Sleeves Once the desired length is reached, pick up the stitches on the sleeves and work in the round from side to side to respect the stitch pattern. Final result When you have the base jacket ready, you can decide how to customize it by following the different examples that I have shown you in Unit 4, a finished with false elastic point, crab stitch or popcorn stitch ... There are many options! Remember that knitting a garment made to measure over the body requires testing, correcting and adapting it at each step, so don't be afraid to undo as many times as necessary, because getting it to fit perfectly will be worth it. Now share your final project in the forum by clicking on "Create your project". Remember to share both the final result of your garment and the steps that have led you to it. It would be great if you showed a picture of each step and added a brief explanation about what you have done in each one. So I can give you feedback. On the other hand, if in addition to the Domestika community, you want to share your crochet creations with everyone, you can upload photos of them to Instagram with the hashtag #SantaPazienziaDomestika A base top-down jacket does not understand age, gender or style, so it knits for you and yours. You already have the knowledge, now it only remains for you to allow yourself to take action. I say goodbye now, but only for now. Remember that in the forum you will find colleagues with whom to share your crocheting concerns, and it will be great if you also help each other. For me it is the most enriching of this experience. I will be very aware of your progress. See you soon! ”
