This post contains a detailed description of knitting colored fragments into the main fabric of the tunic, knitting the hanging corners of the tunic (if such are suggested by the style of the product), as well as two links to MK on constructing a product pattern according to the fillet pattern, and a detailed explanation of the procedure for making the product using the fillet technique. Valentina Dyachenko.

Worth a look:

You can view and study in detail the tutorial on knitting products using the fillet technique, which is offered by Valentina Dyachenko here:

Loin dress “Linen”

The detailed MK of Valentina Dyachenko somewhat helps to understand how to knit insert fragments into fillet fabric.

The calculation of the required number of cells (as well as the number of VPs to start knitting) is described in detail in the post, which can be accessed via the previous link.

We tie the beginning with a thread of the main color:

The main thread always remains on the right side, in this case it is white. We tie a colored thread in the right place and begin to knit the pattern that we liked as an insert fragment. In the proposed example, the “Rose” fragment has a height of 26 rows (there must be an even number of squares in height so that the thread returns to the side of the product from which they started knitting)​. In this example, we knit a rose according to this pattern:

They tied a red thread and began to knit a fragment with a rose:

After the snippet is finished:

We cut the thread and carefully hide it with a needle like this:

After steaming the fragment, this place cannot be found at all. It is recommended to hide the threads when you already know for sure that you won’t have to retie.

Now the most important thing in Patchwork: how to continue knitting with the main thread after completing the knitting of the fragment. Or in other words, embedding a fragment.​

Scheme for tying the insert fragment with the main thread:

The diagram, in my opinion, does not provide an accurate understanding of how to correctly attach the main thread to a colored fragment.

But a large number of photographs taken by Valentina Dyachenko at each stage of this process complement the picture. Many thanks to the master!

There is now one loop on the hook. Next: ​2 ch​ and insert the hook into the next dc of the colored fragment, knit in 1 single loop. That is, we go up along the edge of the fragment.

Now we turn the work so that it is convenient to knit in the opposite direction, with a fillet mesh in this case. ​And we repeat all the steps described above.

After we have finished tying the fragment with the main fabric, we continue to knit the entire row with the main thread according to the pattern.

Or we knit other fragments, checking the tunic diagram. Here is an example of the arrangement of colored fragments of another tunic:

What else do you need to know to knit this tunic? Of course, knitting the corners of the tunic if you want them to sag at the sides of the tunic.

Knitting the corner of the tunic

The corner can be knitted directly from the armhole or from the waist if desired.​

      There is only one principle: 1) tie a thread at the beginning of the hem of the back or front (it doesn’t matter); 2) we knit according to the pattern to our corner (to the armhole or to the waist) without knitting 3 squares; 3) we start without VP, immediately knit without finishing 1/2/3 cells on one side and 1/2/3 cells on the other side; 4) knit 3+3+1, the first loop on the hook into one loop.

      Photos demonstrate the step-by-step implementation of this process:

This is how we knit our trapezoid in rotating rows. If you want a long angle. Then we knit 2 squares together.

Next, another method is proposed, the author of which is Tatyana Sopova.

So, we tie a thread in the middle behind the CH.  

Row 1 – 3CH, 2VP, I tie into the 2nd square in CH, turn the work and in the opposite direction I knit the 2nd row -2VP, ​CH 1VP CH 1VP CH 2VP I tie into the 2nd square of CH. Turn the work and knit in the opposite direction. Row 3 – 2VP CH, 2VP CH 2VP CH 2VP CH we tie into the 2nd square B CH. , 4th row as 1. I show in the photo step by step.

We repeat this until the end of our shelf and back, until all the cells are finished.  

 Now let's move on to the series of photographs that Valentina Dyachenko offers as MK on this tunic.
