Every woman dresses according to her own taste and style, but one thing is certain - we all strive to express our individuality in clothes. Those who are familiar with needlework firsthand can afford to bring any creative idea to life, even such laborious as a knitted coat. It is not difficult to crochet such work, it is enough accuracy and patience.

Before you start knitting, you need to make a number of preparations:

• Choose a style from your favorite photos in magazines or draw your own version, depending on the features of the figure.
• Calculate the amount of yarn. Manufacturers of knitting thread accurately indicate the footage on the label. A crochet coat, unlike a knitted product, will require more yarn. This is especially important to consider when using woolen threads that shrink.
• Yarn should be bought immediately for the whole product! Even skeins of the same color number can be from different batches and differ in shade.
• It is advisable to make a pattern of the model, especially if it includes a set-in sleeve or raglan, as well as a collar of the original form.
• The size of the hook must match the thickness of the thread,otherwise the canvas will be too loose or dense, which will adversely affect the appearance of the coat.

Now that all the preparatory tasks are done, we can crochet the coat in a few days.

Getting started. Knitting product shelves

Knit a chain of the number of loops that matches the size and report of the pattern.

The first row is knitted in columns to create a density of the bottom of the coat, then the canvas is made to the hip line with the selected pattern.

If the model is fitted, change the hook to a smaller one, this will allow you to narrow the product without disturbing the pattern. The usual distance from the hips to the waist is 15 cm, a consistent decrease in the hook number will allow you to make a smooth, neat transition.

Then in the same way we increase the width of the shelves to the required chest volume. Referring to the finished pattern, crochet the coat to the armhole. Draw an armhole depending on the style. Shoulder bevel is required in models without shoulder pads, shirt sleeves and raglan require freedom in the shoulders.

The back is made in the same way.

Crochet coat is easiest to knit in one piece, without side seams. If the design features of the model do not require cuts (no pockets in the side seams), this will avoid deformation of the product after washing.

Knit coat sleeves

If you do not have enough experience, it is better to crochet coat sleeves from the bottom, from the side of the cuff. Add width evenlyknitting additional columns from the extreme air loops, and refer to the pattern. Finish the sleeves by closing the columns on both sides in accordance with the pattern. More experienced craftswomen can tie the sleeve to the armhole, for which you need to sew the shoulder seams, placing a braid under them - so the seam will not stretch. Not every pattern allows you to knit a sleeve from the armhole, pay attention to this!

We carry out cuffs and collars, fastener strap, connect the parts of the product with a chain stitch.

But the crochet coat doesn't end there. To prevent the edge of the product from wrapping and deforming, tie the contour with single crochets or with a crustacean step. Steam the coat with an iron at the lowest temperature through a cotton cloth, but do not iron.
