Crochet stoles and crochet - an overview of the schemes of the best models for beginners and pros

A luxurious thing for any time of the year - a wide openwork scarf, which is worn as a shawl. Knitting a stoles by scrolls and crochet does not cause difficulties for beginner knitters, because it has no pattern. A spectacular accessory of arbitrary format will occupy a special place in the closet of a fashionista of any age and complexion.

Advantages of knitted stoles

Crochet stoles for beginners are a fascinating creative process, not time-consuming. With any workload, you can find a little time to knit at least a few rows of a rectangular openwork cape.

One important advantage remains the variability of patterns and the yarn used. Striped stoles with a zig-zag pattern and waves, "Missoni" or "brioche" look no worse than solid-colored products. This is the best way to "fit" leftover colored yarn of the same thickness but different shades.

You can pick up a double-sided pattern with needles or crochet, depending on which technique you are more skilled in. One-sided pattern is also possible, but it is desirable to choose such a way of knitting the selvedge, so that the edges do not wrap.

A crocheted stole is a stylish way to cover your bare shoulders on a chilly evening and distract from figure flaws. Having gained weight, many fashionable women often turn to spectacular accessories, under which it is easy to hide a rounded belly or thighs.

In this case, indispensable are considered:

stoles;
capes;
shawls;
openwork cardigans;
transformer scarves.

Perhaps this is the only product that has no flaws, even if needlewomen without significant experience take on the task.

The best crochet patterns for beginners and pros

Any light-colored openwork pattern will look great on a dark dress or turtleneck with jeans.

Undoubtedly, the easiest crochet patterns to execute are still the mesh ones:

Luxurious Irish lace on the background of irregular netting - a technique accessible only to experienced craftswomen.

Other ways to crochet a stoles - schemes and descriptions.

Stoles by crochet

For those who have not learned to crochet, but know how to work with needles, it's time to get down to business. We suggest knitting yourself a luxurious stoles by needlepoint from sectional yarn - knitting schemes are not particularly necessary if you have your favorite variations.

Simple openwork paths or "waves" made of yarn with a smooth transition of color look very effective on their own.

The double-sided "peacock feathers" pattern is one of the best options for openwork stoles by needles. It is variously called by craftswomen. On the front side this pattern looks like "feathers", on the reverse side - "sheaves". According to the mood, you can wear the stole on either side.

Openwork "leaves" are one of the popular themes appropriate for rectangular capes. There are no less than 30 patterns that knit differently, but are called the same. We suggest 4 varieties in the pieces.

"Alsatian scallops" is another possibility to knit a luxurious stole. The specificity of the pattern is that it is difficult to add and subtract, so it is rarely used in the product, despite its obvious beauty.

Tip! Try to master this scheme, and you will not be disappointed when you finish the first stoles.

Another scheme, which is worth to tinker with - this openwork "bear claw". It looks great on fine mohair, warm wool yarn and inexpensive light-colored acrylic.

Crochet stoles on a fork

The lightest, most airy, literally weightless products are obtained on a fork. This is a U-shaped device on which thin mohair (other yarn) is crocheted openwork paths. Depending on how to assemble a track of long loops, you get different patterns.

Palantine or shawl can be crocheted on a fork "shells".
"Waves" made on a fork.
An intricate pattern made with ornate "paths".

Note! Rectangular capes are knitted in different techniques. The most common are stoles in openwork patterns, crocheted or knitted. You can do without any devices if you knit from very thick polyamide cords.

It is easy to weave a thick stole out of mega yarn in 2-3 hours, flipping the loops from hand to hand. You can make a plaid, a snood or a spectacular stole in this technique. We offer a free master class - how to knit with mega yarn without needles.

How to decorate the finished stoles?

It's not always the case that a knitted wide scarf looks quite complete. Often it seems that the finished stole lacks something.

In this case, spectacular elements are added:

A wide border in parallel paths around the edges.
Wide tassels or fringes along the narrow edges.
Openwork ruffles around the perimeter.
Fine banding with a cog on all edges.
Long "scrolls" or wrap-around "noodles" made by crochet.

All of these elements are made with a basic or decorative yarn in color. Therefore, it is advisable to leave some yarn in the skein for tassels or fringes.

With what and how to wear knitted stoles

Knitting stoles is not limited to openwork patterns in needles and crochet. Warm winter things are made with thick patterns. For their manufacture you need a thick yarn with the addition of wool.

Such a product is very appropriate in the office, where it can be quite chilly, and the strict dress code does not imply wearing knitted jackets.

Wide stole can be thrown over the shoulders, secured with an elegant brooch and wrap the collar with a "shawl". This image will appeal to fashionistas of any age. This outfit is warm, and the beauty of the pattern will help to diversify the closet, which has no place for a thick sweaters, cardigans and pullovers.

Stoles are also worn under the belt, neatly tucked in the hanging edges. Stylists often suggest this option in a set with classic pants or a "pencil" skirt.

The colored stole on a black base is the best way to add some zest to your basic closet.

Useful tip: it will look just inimitable, if you manage to match a small black dress in the style of "Coco Chanel" with a light tracery stole and leather accessories of the same color - a bag, boots and a belt, under which a great stole is tucked.

As we see, knitted stoles are a versatile accessory for any figure. We have prepared a selection of the best, in our opinion, handmade stoles by needlework and crochet with schemes, which are available to beginners and masters of the average level.
