Shetland knitting, Shetland patterns, Shetland - all these are the names of the recently popular knitting trend, which is based on the famous openwork Shetland patterns.
If you knit even a little, be sure to give Shetland openwork a try, because a real immersion in Shetland knitting can not only change your entire understanding of knitting, but can also become a real hobby.
Looking at this lace, it seems that they are knitted quite difficult, but this is absolutely not the case.
The only difficulty in knitting Shetland patterns is that you need to make yarn overs in all rows and make sure that they are done in the right places.
If you knit, try this knitting technique, I'm sure you'll like it.
The dress is knitted in two threads:
– from Italian fine mohair Camelot 1000m/100g – 155 g;
– fine wool to match mohair – 50 g
Dress weight – 180 g.
Weight of the hem of the lower dress – 25g
Addi knitting needles 3.5mm
Dress size 46-48.
Stages of knitting a dress:
First, the border is knitted, loops are picked up along its edge and the skirt is knitted in the circle without seams, then in the circle until the armhole.
From the armhole we knit each part of the front and back separately.
Along the neck we knit a collar - a stand.
The sleeve is regular, set-in.
The dress is knitted from bottom to top in a single fabric in the round: one row with knit stitches, the other with purl stitches. You can also knit in turning rows, then we knit all the time with facial loops (garter knitting).
The dress is knitted according to patterns from the book “Heirloom knitting” by S. Miller.
Basic pattern diagram
Border scheme.
For the dress we knit 21 repeat borders. We sew the border with a knitted seam into a circle.
Along the edge of the border, we evenly cast on 224 loops for 14 repeats (for 16 loops) and knit according to the pattern from the 1st to the 40th row.
Pattern diagram for 16 loops
We repeat the pattern for 16 loops 3 times.
In the last 40th row of the third repeat, we make decreases to move to the next pattern of 14 loops. The place of decrease is indicated in the diagram below.
Next, we knit according to the pattern for 14 loops from the 1st to the 38th row - 196 loops

We continue knitting with a pattern of 12 loops from the 1st to the 36th row - 168 loops

Next, up to the armhole, repeat the repeat of 6 rows (31-36 rows) - 4 times
Next we divide the knitting into the back and front.
In the armhole we close 10 loops on each side.
Next, we knit each part separately - 6 repeats in width - 74 loops and a repeat of 6 rows (31-36 rows) - 8 times.
We close 20 loops on each side on the shoulders. Sew the shoulder seams.
Leave the neck loops open.
Collar
We knit a narrow border - collar - stand according to the pattern.
We knit 18 rapports - border teeth with knitting needles No. 2.5 mm
The border is knitted into the set aside loops of the edge of the Main part as follows: the outer loops along the even edge in rows 1 and 5 are knitted together with 1 corresponding loop of the main part, the outer loops along the even edge in rows 3 and 7 are knitted together purl with 1 corresponding loop of the main part , in purl rows - remove the loop without knitting.
After the border is knitted, you need to sew both edges of the border with a knitted seam, break the thread, and hide the ends of the yarn.
You can thread a silicone transparent elastic band through the wrong side, and the neck line will not stretch in the sock.
Sleeve
For the sleeve we knit a large border of 6 repeats. Sew the side seams of the border.
Along the edge of the border we cast on 64 loops - 4 repeats of 16 loops each and knit in a circle according to the pattern for 16 loops 2 times from the 1st to the 40th row.
Next, we knit a repeat of 6 rows (31-36 rows) -4 times.
Knitted to the armhole.
We knit the sleeve head 42 rows in rotating rows.
The decrease scheme is in order:
We sew in the sleeves.
We knit a large border on 21 repeats and sew it to the hem of the underdress.
The underdress is made of knitwear to match the yarn.
We are conducting the WTO.
