This jacket is incredibly versatile and can upgrade a multitude of outfits, giving a boho-chic aesthetic or a more relaxed, everyday elegance.

Boho-Chic Comfort:

Pair with: Wear it over a white or off-white floral or lace dress.

Bottom: A long, airy maxi dress is ideal.

Accessories: A wide-brimmed hat, lots of delicate bracelets and a long necklace made from natural materials (wood, stones).

Stylish everyday look:

Bottom: Skinny or straight jeans in light blue or white, or chinos in beige/khaki.

Shoes: White sneakers, slip-ons or comfortable ballerinas.

Accessories: A neutral-toned tote bag, subtle earrings and a simple watch.

Layering for cool evenings:

Pair with: A thin turtleneck in white, off-white, or one of the colors of the jacket (e.g., lilac).

Bottom: Black leather pants or leggings for a contrasting texture, or a high-waisted pencil skirt in a neutral color.

I will knit from the following types of yarn:

skein mohair (500m/100g),

wet half-wool (500m/100g),

bobbin merino (1500m/100g, I take a thread in three folds),

Reel tweed + merino (1500m/100g, I take a thread in three folds.

I will crochet the main canvas and square motifs with crochet No2.

I will knit the product with a single canvas, a classic raglan on top, for size 48-50.

Start from the neck, pick up a chain of air loops or knit the initial row with arches of the length we need.

I have 37 arches for the neck. Next, divide them into several parts in the following way: shelves of 6 arches, 5 for each sleeve, 11 for the back, 1 for each raglan line.

Next, knit with an openwork pattern according to the scheme. Near the raglan lines, make even additions of stitches and introduce them into the pattern (diagram in the gallery below).

Knit the yoke to the required height, try it on, the lower edge of the shelves should be at the level of the armpits. Next, we move on to knitting an "Asian" sprout on the back details. I have a sprout height of 8 rows of openwork pattern (about 7 cm).

For undercuts on each side, I make one enlarged arch (4 CH, and a column with 3 wraps in the first CH). For the required width of my cardigan, this is enough, but, if necessary, the width of the undercut can be increased.

Continue knitting the main part of the cardigan, connecting the back and two shelves.

he decoration of the lower part of the cardigan will be bright square motifs. I added the scheme of motifs below in the gallery.

First, knit individual motifs. Then we combine them into a strip, and attach them to the main canvas.

From the strip of motifs, I continue to knit the main part of the cardigan to the required length. You can continue with an openwork pattern like on a yoke or a multi-colored pattern like mine. The same pattern will be on the hood and sleeves. See the pattern scheme below in the gallery.

Along the lower edge of the cardigan, make a relief elastic with a crochet.

Sleeves. First, continue knitting in circular rows with an openwork pattern. Then I switch to a multi-colored pattern. Next, the cuff is a embossed crochet elastic band.

Hood. From the neck, from the initial row, knit the hood canvas up. Or, if desired, you can knit any collar.

Along the edge of the hood and shelves, make a relief elastic band with a crochet with holes for buttons.

The size of the finished product is 48-50. The length of the product is 63 cm.

The consumption of yarn of each color separately is as follows:

milk (basic) – 330 g,

lilac – 45 g,

pink – 45 g,

green – 30 g,

yellow – 30 g.

Total yarn consumption, cardigan weight 480 g.

Tip: Since the jacket has pastel and bright colors, choose accessories and clothing that don't compete with its design, but rather highlight it. Neutral colors (white, beige, gray, light denim) are always a safe choice. source

How can we decorate Easter eggs with floss yarn(video lesson)

noreply@blogger.com (Tina's Handicraft) — Sun, 12 May 2024 14:25:00 +0300

Today, my friends, I will show you a very simple and very guaranteed procedure to give different colors and patterns to Easter eggs ... the procedure is very simple.

The materials we need are:

-glitter threads

-eggs at room temperature

-aluminium paper

-a pot (we will use it for boiling eggs)

-a little oil (it is necessary to give shine in the last procedure of the eggs)

-single use gloves

a plastic container or metalic with water.

Preparation procedure :

We have cut the threads of different colors into small pieces (5 cm -7 cm) and we have a multicolored composition of our desire.

We cut a sheet of aluminum enough to wrap an egg, then we take an egg, dip it in water to make it wet and then put it in the container with the cut threads and roll it in such a way that it sticks to the threads from it all sides ,put the egg on the aluminum sheet and wrap it like candy, make small holes with a toothpick (see the video for more details).

We apply the same procedure to all the eggs that we want to color in this way....we boil them, after they take a wave, let them cool and open them one by one, grease our hands with a few drops of oil and pass eggs all over their surface.

The colors and the final look .... are amazing .
