Knitting from grass. Grass bolero: a selection of patterns for children's and women's models What is knitted from grass

I want to write that I really like grass knitting. But there are also needlewomen who are also fond of this kind of knitting. Grass is thread with long pile, which is sold in every handicraft store. We all know that they are made from artificial fibers, but they have many uses.
You can knit or crochet from grass. To ensure that the pile lays beautifully, thick knitting needles and hooks are used. The fabric knits quickly, and what is important for not very experienced needlewomen, even if the loops are not very even, this will not be noticeable in a knitted grass fabric. If you want to get an elastic fabric, knit “grass” with knitting needles; if you want the product to keep its shape well, use a crochet hook for knitting.
Weed makes cute things for children; children look like little bears in them. Of course, these things don’t provide much warmth in cold weather, but they look very impressive and can be worn for various holidays and matinees. Women's shawls and scarves, capes and boleros look impressive. The latter, of course, should be knitted only to complement evening outfits; they are not suitable as casual or business wear. But how beautiful look:

I also have a nice children’s fur coat in the “Knitting” section.
Grass can also be combined with other yarns when knitting. By adding several rows of grass when knitting clothes, you can get a cozy and at the same time noble cardigan or jacket for everyday wear.

You can also knit long strips of grass and sew them along the inner edge of the armholes, neckline and shelves. You will get a vest with a “fur edge”.

Fluffy pillowcases for sofa cushions look very cozy. You can knit covers for poufs, a children's blanket or rug.

One of the brightest and most unusual items in a woman's wardrobe is a grass cardigan. This product looks very elegant thanks to the structure of the material and its glossy surface.

, how to knit a flared bottom?!

The description is written in general terms and from the point of view that I don’t like it when there are a lot of seams... If so, don’t judge.

You will need:

Weed yarn from any manufacturer
any yarn, preferably cotton of the same yardage
knitting needles No. 4.5. or 5(maybe a different size, depending on your convenience) length from 60 cm to 100 cm
markers

And so, the fur coat is knitted in two directions: first the body - the top of the fur coat and the skirt - the flared bottom.

Body:
You can calculate the number of loops here http://www.mnemosina.ru/index.php?option=com_content&view=article&id=428&Itemid=82. I will knit without side seams so that there are no difficulties when sewing, and without seams it will be neater...

Flared bottom (skirt)- I propose to knit it, using the pattern for the coat as a basis.

To do this, you need to carefully remove the additional material from the main fabric. thread and put the loops on the knitting needle along the entire length and knit with one fabric. The flare can be of different sizes. You can start with 4 persons. 4 purl, or you can increase it if desired. Then the wedges will be wider. An increase can be made in every 2nd, 4th, 6th row - the splendor of the hem will depend on this... Increases can be made both with facial loops and purl stitches. leave it, you can alternate them, then the wedges will be the same size.

"I knitted from the neck with raglan, pattern 2 purl, 3 knits (preliminarily, having made calculations for the required number of loops). I increased the knit stitches in every 6th row, and 2 purls are knitted throughout the knitting . Choose the length and width yourself. Knitting needles No. 5. Yarn from Visantia, 150 meters, 11 skeins (size 48). Knitted with padding polyester. Knit on. health! GOOD LUCK!”

http://www.odnoklassniki.ru/profile/351761902235/album/455882471323- in the comments.

For size 48 approximately: 92 loops. 1p - 6p for clasp, 14p. on the front, 2p on the raglan, 9p. on the sleeve, 2 p. for the raglan increase, 26 p. on the back and again 2 stitches on the raglan, 9 stitches on the sleeve, 2 stitches, 14 stitches in front and 6 stitches on the clasp. It turned out 92p. =6+14+2+9+2+26+2+9+2+14.
Raglan increases of 3,7,11,15,19, etc. rows.
This is with a knitting density of 2.2 loops per 1 cm

The yarn I have is grass "Yarn Art" "SAMBA", the color is freesia, I combined it with angora thread "RAM" in the same tone, and the density is better and holds its shape - the grass stretches on its own. Knitting needles No. 3.25, circular. I started knitting from the top, from the neck, with raglan. Now I’ve reached the sleeves, put them on separate needles and knit two at the same time. The rest of the knitting is still hanging on the knitting needles... I decided to finish the sleeves, and then knit the bottom with a solid fabric - it’s better to do without seams.

At one time I knitted a lot of grass hats to order. I knitted it in two threads - “Grass” + thin mohair to match. Oh, what a texture it turns out - Mohair is not visible in knitting, but it holds the grass and makes the fabric warmer.

I really liked the fur coat
I looked at the threads, there are also Yarnart TANGO and Yarnart TECHNO, very interesting threads, can anyone knit them?

Yarnart techno, unusually soft yarn, like silk! It has the longest hair of all the herbs. But there is a very small footage. I'm afraid this coat will require a lot of yarn.
Regarding Techno, it’s like swan’s down.

MANTO

The coat is knitted with knitting needles. "Travka" made in Türkiye, it took 4 skeins. Manto for 5-6 years.

I tied the slippers with Yarnart TECHNO yarn

Look: the pile is long and soft.

And also a very interesting Furlana yarn from Alize, 40 m per 100 g, fur thread. The product looks like fur. I can’t give you a link, I didn’t save it. Look in online stores, in the comments on the yarn. I really liked it.

I asked Alina, one of my classmates, how she knitted? She replied that it was from the bottom up. And the diagram in pencil is knitted with wedges before raglan.

- I don't understand how to knit the sleeves. Or do you just knit in a circle and leave the loops on the sleeves?

- There is no need to leave the loops. You knit the sleeves up to the armhole, divide the stitches into the back and fronts and knit each one separately, closing the armhole loops and you end up with only 2 shoulder seams. It turns out like a bovovinka vest, you sew the cast hangers, and the sleeves are knitted separately and sewn in.

One of my classmates joined a group where a girl knits a coat from grass, a very beautiful model like this, only with smaller flares. But he doesn’t give a description... he’s greedy... whoever is interested in seeing the group is called KNITTED MIRACLES, and in the photo of the group there is a close-up of a pug dog in a pink hat...

Sarvar Makhova: It took me 12 skeins of irvka, 150 meters each, 100 grams. 4.5 circular knitting needles and acrylic allowed about 10 skeins. I knitted raglan on top somewhere around size 48-52. I crocheted the placket, collar, and cuffs - 80 stitches at the beginning, at the end there were 400, sleeves - 60, without adding. MAYBE THIS WILL HELP SOMEONE IN THEIR WORK

The name “Grass” is given to long-pile threads used for knitting. You can knit from grass using both knitting needles and a hook. To make the knitting process more successful and the result pleasing, use thicker knitting needles and hooks.

Such threads are very popular among beginning needlewomen. This is explained not only by the beauty and originality of the resulting products, but also by the fact that loops knitted not very evenly when knitting from such yarn will not be noticeable. You can find Grass yarn in every craft supply store.

Knitting from grass

Before creating things knitted from grass, you need to choose the right model. Due to its specificity, this yarn is not suitable for making all things. Grass is good for knitting clothes for children. In such clothes, children are very cute and look like bear cubs. Of course, it has its downsides. For example, in clothes that are knitted from grass, you cannot keep warm in the cold. But from this yarn you can safely knit costumes for your children for matinees and other holidays.

Classmates

Women will look spectacular in shawls and scarves, as well as capes and boleros made from grass. It is worth noting that grass capes and boleros are not suitable for everyday wear. They should only be worn in addition to evening and festive outfits.

In addition, you can use combinations of grass with other types of yarn and use it as trim, and also knit toys, pillows and other interesting things.

Knitted grass bolero

The offered bolero is designed for sizes 40/42/44. In order to knit such a bolero, you will need to purchase soft grass (150 g), smooth yarn of the same color (100-150 g), knitting needles 5, 6, and buttons.

Classmates

The bolero must be knitted alternately with grass and smooth yarn, approximately 2 rows each.
To knit the bottom edge, cast on 66/70/74 stitches with grass. Knit in stockinette stitch. Alternate stripes with stripes of smooth yarn.
When you get to the 5th row from the beginning of knitting, start making increases. You should add 1 loop on each side. Then add 1 stitch on both sides according to the following pattern: 1 time in the next 2nd row, *2 times in each row, 1 time in the 2nd row, then repeat from * another 16/17/18 times. Your work should total 166/176/186 loops. Then we start knitting straight 18/19/20 cm.
When the product reaches 46/48.5/51 cm from the beginning of knitting, close all the loops with weed.
To assemble a grass bolero with knitting needles, you need to tie its edges with a strap belt. To do this, you need to pick up loops along the edge of the resulting fabric. Choose the direction from edge A to edge C. On edge A, pick up 30/31/33 stitches, along the beveled edge (armhole) - 14/18/22 stitches, on edge B - 59/61/65 stitches, on the second edge of the armhole - 14/18/22 loops, along edge C - 30/31/33 loops.
You need to start knitting with an elastic band (1 knit stitch, 1 purl loop), using grass. Then you need to alternate, as when knitting fabric. Holes for buttons need to be made on the right edge of the belt. To decorate them, you need to yarn over and knit 2 loops together. The first hole should be located at a height of 2 cm, and the second at a height of 5 cm from the edge of the belt.
The belt-strap must be knitted until its width reaches 7 cm, after which it is necessary to close all the loops and sew on the buttons.

Cast on 56 loops according to the pattern: 1 raglan loop, 12 sleeve loops, 1 raglan loop, 28 back raglan loops, 12 sleeve loops, 1 raglan loop. In each of the front rows, add 1 loop to the right and left of each raglan loop using a yarn over. Add to the outer raglan loops only from the inside of the raglan loops.
Continue knitting in this way until the length of the raglan lines reaches 26 cm. As soon as the length reaches this figure, bind off all the loops. The raglan lines of the back at the lower points must be connected to the raglan lines of the front.
Cast on the edge of the loop on circular knitting needles and knit the binding in stockinette stitch. In the third and fifth circular rows, add 6-7 loops at the same distance from each other. The binding must be knitted 15 cm, after which the loops must be loosely closed.

Bolero came to us from Spain and took root for many years. Almost every woman will find at least one similar cape in her wardrobe. The use of “grass” thread to create boleros is only gaining popularity, and little girls, their mothers and grandmothers love to be fashionable, change their outfits and give them new accents. A grass bolero looks unusual; it will be warm, soft and airy. In this article we will look at creating a bolero both by knitting and crocheting.

Let's start simple

A women's grass bolero knitted with knitting needles will perfectly complement a woman's outfit both for a holiday and for everyday use. The cape is knitted very quickly and easily, and does not require large material costs. For weddings in the cold season, a bolero knitted from white grass will be an excellent solution. We will tell you about making an adult women's bolero for sizes 44-46 in the master class below.

We will need:

“grass” yarn, 200 grams;
circular knitting needles No. 5;
straight knitting needles No. 5.

Let's get started with the description.

In this master class we will look at an example of how to knit a bolero with a single fabric and using 2 seams.

Please note. The work will be done according to the pattern below. The lines marked in red are the sleeve seaming lines.

Dimensions are shown in the diagram:

So, let's start knitting. We cast on the knitting needles 56 loops. Of these, 24 loops for 2 sleeves, 28 back loops and connecting raglan loops. On each side of the front row we add a loop, making a yarn over. The exception will be the outermost raglan loops; here we add loops from the inside.

We knit until the length of the raglan line reaches a size of 26 cm. Close the loops.

Make connecting seams as shown in the diagram. We pick up loops along the bottom of the bolero and use stockinette stitch to knit a binding. In the 3rd and 5th rows, add 6-7 loops evenly.

The length of the binding is about 15 cm. When they are knitted, the loops can be closed, the thread secured and cut. Knitted grass bolero is ready!

As you may have guessed, the bolero size can be loved. It depends on the initial number of loops and its length. Don't be afraid to experiment.

Model for baby

A bolero knitted from grass for a girl will always complement a festive outfit. This wardrobe item is especially relevant during the New Year holidays. Due to the fact that the thread is elastic and the knitting is slightly rubbery, the bolero will last for many years. Of course, it is not always easy for beginner knitters to work with this thread, since due to its specifics it is difficult to count the number of loops. In this example, we will look at how to crochet a children's bolero using diagrams and patterns.

We will need:

2 skeins of “grass” thread;
hook No. 3-3.5.

There are many ways to crochet a grass bolero for a girl using a crochet hook. You can knit a regular bolero from a rectangle - this is the simplest method; you can use a twist as a basis. Crocheting a grass bolero may be no different from any other example of crocheting a cape. However, when choosing a pattern, you should consider the knitting density. If you take a pattern that is too “holey” as a basis, the bolero may look slightly stretched. The best option may be to choose a pattern rather than a pattern. Simply by choosing the desired model, the bolero can be knitted using single crochets or double crochets. You can also choose the harness to your liking. Let's look at an example.

A grass bolero, knitted according to the pattern using single crochets, turns out to be dense, warm and versatile. A brooch to match the dress will help add a festive touch. We adjust the size with our own data.

Using this pattern, after making your own measurements, you can knit a bolero from a single fabric. After completing the knitting, only two seams are made, and the original cape is ready.

A rectangular bolero is sewn in only 2 places, but it will have a more open look at the front.
