Crochet Garments with Color and Texture

“We have reached the end of the course! Thank you very much for accompanying me. I hope that my lessons and tips will help you when developing your own crochet fabrics. Do not forget that each project is unique and that what we have seen in this course is a base that you can use with your own style. I share the steps you must follow to carry out and share your project. Comes into contact with materials First, it is very important that you know the materials and tools that you will use during this course, from the needles, to the scissors and, of course, the wool and the different thicknesses. It is general and basic information, but very essential, that will help you decide which tools are the best for you.

Delve into the world of color Once you know the tools, you should begin to delve into the world of color and begin to analyze how colors behave by mixing them with each other. You should also try different combinations and make your own samples. Remember that you can look for inspiration on websites like Pinterest. Let your imagination fly! Start playing with textures When you have already defined the colors, you must move on to the next stage, which is the textures. Review all the textures seen in this course, but remember that it is not necessary that you use them all, but you can choose the ones that are easier for you or with which you feel more comfortable. Familiarize yourself with the pattern and make a tension sample Now yes, it's time for you to get fully into the sweater! But before anything else, you need to start with the foundation of all projects: the pattern. You must analyze it carefully until you feel that you are totally familiar with it, since you are going to spend a lot of time with it. Then, don't forget to make a tension sample that will be essential for you to define the perfect tools to work with. Start knitting the elastics and the front and back parts Start with the fabric of your sweater from the bottom, first weaving the elastics and then going through each of the learned textures. Do this for both the front and back. Make the decreases for the neck Once you have the back and front finished, make the decreases for the neck. Then join the two pieces together and finish knitting the collar. Knit the sleeves It is time for you to knit the sleeves that will follow the same path as the other two pieces, although with a small difference. Put into practice everything I taught you to make the fists. Join all the pieces and block the garment Finally, join all the pieces that make up the sweater with the invisible sewing system. You could almost say you're done, but not yet! As a final part, apply the finishing tricks for the ends of the garment and carry out the blocking process, which will be essential for you to obtain optimal results. And voila, your garment is finished! Now share your final project with all of us by clicking on "Create your project". Remember to share both the final result of your project and the steps that have led you to it. It would be great if you could show me an image of each phase and add a brief explanation about what you have done in each one. Before we say goodbye, I want to invite you to actively participate in the forum, sharing your progress as well as asking questions or giving advice and trying to help the rest of the community. I'm looking forward to seeing your progress! I will try to go through the forum as much as possible, but please be patient because there will be times when I have professional commitments and it will take me a while to respond. See you on the forum! ”
