Knitted tunics have recently entered the world of fashion, but have already gained popularity among women.

We owe the appearance of the tunic in our wardrobe to the Romans. Initially, these were baggy clothes with holes for the arms and head, and length to the thigh. Used primarily as home wear. Nowadays, we most often call clothes with a straight silhouette, with or without sleeves, and usually with one or two side slits. The length may vary, but usually below the hip line.

Recently, designers have been paying special attention to knitted tunics in their collections. After all, they look great with tight jeans, leggings and shorts, and depending on the length , It can also be worn as a dress, but this is for those who are especially daring!

Knitted tunics can be made from warm yarn or linen or cotton yarn, depending on the time and place of its use. Both volumetric patterns and regular stockinette stitch can be used for it, the main thing is to maintain proportions and length.

Crocheted tunics usually have an openwork mesh structure. They are very good for the summer or even beach season.

In any case, for what situation or what time of year you are looking for this type of clothing, we have collected knitted tunics with descriptions and patterns in a large assortment and for every taste.

Does pregnancy force you to spend almost all your time within four walls? Then you can take up crafting and spend your time creating beautiful things. For example, knit exclusive items for yourself.

Knitting for pregnant women is perhaps the most common way of spending time in cases where a woman is prescribed bed rest.

Knitted clothes for women: which is preferable

Openwork sweater with honeycomb pattern

Taking into account the characteristics of the figure due to the interesting position, pregnant women most often wear (and, accordingly, knit) the following outfits:

- tunics:

- dresses;

— sweaters and jackets;

- ponchos, poncho scarves;

- capes.

Let's look at some in more detail.

Tunic: easy to knit and looks great

Knitted tunic for pregnant women with a braid pattern

Typically, the most popular knitting pattern is the tunic. And this is quite justified, because women usually knit for themselves - and a tunic for pregnant women is both a very comfortable and beautiful form of clothing.

A tunic is not quite a dress, but it’s not a jacket either. It's something in between.

A tunic can be very feminine if, for example, you choose an empire style. This model is characterized by short sleeves and a very high waistline. Knitting patterns for this model are quite simple, and you can easily figure them out, even if you are new to needlework. Knitted tunics for pregnant women are a convenient wardrobe item. They highlight the belly well and are comfortable and feminine.

Knitted dress? What a sight for sore eyes!

Knitted clothes for pregnant women also include various types of dresses. Knitting a dress with knitting needles is somewhat more difficult than crocheting, but for simple models with a minimum of lace it is quite normal. For example, we knit an elementary business dress in a business style.

To do this, you should purchase natural wool; you will need approximately three hundred grams of thread for a standard size. The pattern is elementary. In your work you will use the front stitch, air loops and stitches of different types (with and without crochet, connecting). You will find knitting patterns on our website.

Sweater for my husband, jacket for myself

From simple to more complex. So, after simple patterns, we knit a warm sweater. And here, too, there is no need to reinvent the wheel. A simple braid pattern will look very beautiful. The main thing to remember is that we knit it very carefully and count the loops.

The difficulty of knitting a jacket or sweater for pregnant women is that they consist of more parts, and the number of loops in the rows varies. However, such complexity is worth it - a beautiful warm wool sweater will be the main highlight of your wardrobe. It can be combined with jeans and a business skirt, and the sweater will look appropriate in any situation. It is also very warm and will keep you warm.

If we move on to more specific things - to a specific model of sweater. An excellent option for pregnant women is a pullover that uses a wedge-shaped edge. Its basic pattern is quite simple. It is necessary to make an odd number of loops and three air rises. The pattern is also not complicated - replace the first double crochet or single crochet with three or one air lift (respectively). Start the loops before the rapport, repeat the repeat and end with the loops after the rapport. This must be repeated for the first time from the first to the seventh row, and then constantly from the second to the seventh.

And a few words instead of a conclusion. We women knit more often for our own pleasure. Therefore, do not deny yourself the joy - create your wardrobe from things that were born in your hands.
See what beautiful outfits for pregnant women are offered:

During pregnancy, you also want to be attractive and wear beautiful clothes. A growing belly, alas, makes it impossible to wear regular jackets and sweaters, so like it or not, you have to think about clothes for pregnant women in the cool season.

Knitting for pregnant women- an excellent way out of the situation. And if you are expecting a baby and already want to knit yourself a maternity blouse, then let’s figure out how to do it.

First you need to decide whether you will wear this item only during pregnancy or do you want it to serve you after? For example, things with a straight silhouette that fit the tummy are not actually straight, but in the shape of a “pear”, and have decent increases in the abdominal area, so this style is unlikely to decorate you after childbirth. That is why today we will look at such knitting and crocheting models for pregnant women that you can put on yourself after the birth of your baby.

What do we have left? Clothing for pregnant women with an A-shaped silhouette, especially with a high waist, models with a wrap that do not interfere with the growth of the tummy or with adjustable width of the back and shelves, and loose-fitting clothing. Not so little! A special feature are blouses for pregnant women-to-be in slingomas, that is, clothes for two people at once, mother and baby, which are usually also convenient for feeding the baby.

Today we have made a selection of models for you crocheting and knitting for pregnant women with descriptions, some of them are given in English, some descriptions are paid. Watch and be inspired!
