With these words, most of you probably immediately imagined some kind of warm leggings... And you know, just a year ago the handicraft of Polish grandmothers, to whom gays come from all over Europe to buy underwear, was actively discussed on the Internet. And although I couldn’t find any pictures of this famous underwear, I readily believe that it is something very beautiful.

Why? Because I know what knitted lace looks like:

Many needlewomen have already proven that fashionable lingerie can be created with your own hands. But, as expected, next to such needlework appears ANTI-handicraft, which causes nothing but laughter.

Let's say, how do you like such a warm set? Is the word “erotic” appropriate?

Corset. Warm too. And this is perhaps its only advantage.

Bra. With pendants. For beauty.

In creepy roses.

There didn’t seem to be anything repulsive involved. But nothing good either.

Cute pink set. What's wrong? And take a closer look. He's WARM! And what weather would you like to wear it in?

Men, why are you giggling? You are also threatened, and not just by panties, but by the famous red panties.

Once again, I’m not against knitted underwear. Provided that it is really beautiful and practical. Like this, for example:

In a whisper, while the men look at the knitting patterns: girls, if you decide to wear knitted underwear, buy sanitary pads for every day. At least, this is what happy owners of knitted panties advise.

Cough cough, what are we talking about? Oh yes, even underwear should be made in such a way that it is not embarrassing to show it.

Underwear is an indispensable element for any woman's wardrobe. This is not just a matter of hygiene standards. Underwear has long ceased to be ordinary underwear. Just take a closer look at the windows of lingerie stores. They are filled with guipure, lace, mesh and other transparent fabrics. The further these things go, the more frank they become. The fashion industry, it would seem, has already exhausted its reserves of fantasies on the topic of styles, materials and other subtleties in this matter. However, for several years now there has been a trend of increased attention to crocheted underwear. Knitted bustiers and panties, nightgowns and even corsets are especially held in high esteem among fashionistas.

The first to appreciate the obvious advantages of such items of clothing were lovers of visiting saunas, baths and beaches. They knitted themselves or bought ready-made crocheted swimsuits. Natural thread allows the skin to breathe, and the original pattern does not throw you out of your fashion rut.

Magicians from Poland

It all started with the creation of a lace workshop in the Polish village of Koniakiv. Tablecloths and napkins made of crocheted lace, various runners and just lace that could be used to decorate clothes. All these exquisite and chic things were a huge success. By the way, not only in Poland.

But over time, interest in such things has largely declined. To avoid being on the verge of bankruptcy, manufacturers had to show their resourcefulness. Craftswomen continued to create their irresistible lace, but the direction of their use changed. They switched to the production of underwear, which was knitted from those same famous laces.

Since then, the popularity of Polish lace has not faded at all. On the contrary, the demand for a new type of product is increasing further and further, as are knitted goods.

Handmade

A crocheted product cannot be put on a conveyor production line. It can only be made by hand. For this reason, the finished product does not appear soon. It's a matter of time. So for those who don’t want to wait a long time for their order due to the overload of experienced craftswomen, there is only one way out? knit your own original panties or bra. This is not nearly as difficult as it might seem at first glance. Moreover, it is not necessary to choose complex patterns. Start with simple patterns.

Unfortunately, printed publications do not spoil us much with descriptions of knitting such products. But still there is a way out. The pattern for the product can be borrowed from any magazine that contains knitting patterns for swimsuits. You can also select some pattern elements from any crochet item. As a rule, small floral motifs, leaves and various types of binding are used for knitting underwear.

If the pattern diagram is not suitable for your size, and you yourself do not have the skills of a cutter to construct it yourself, then you will have to use another method. You will have to sacrifice a bra or panties of a suitable style. After you open the item, you need to cut off all the seam allowances. You won't need them, since the knitted fabric is one solid piece. Is this convenient? the seams will not rub the skin.

It is recommended to knit underwear from natural thin threads. Underwear is still underwear. So it should be thin. 100% cotton is best. You can also find silk threads on sale. Some people use sewing thread or embroidery floss in 2-3 folds. The latter are very soft, and therefore the finished product will be quite pleasant to wear and feel its presence on the skin. If you use threads with a high content of artificial fibers, then choose a pattern that is not too dense, which will reveal a sufficient amount of body. This is necessary so that your skin can “breathe” in such underwear.

Take a small crochet hook, no more than 2 numbers. Otherwise the knitting will turn out very loose. If the threads and hook are selected properly, the product will turn out very good. In favor of crocheted underwear, let's also say that they have virtually no stretch. This can be seen very well with things knitted with knitting needles. No matter how tightly you knit, no matter what small knitting needles you choose? such knitwear will have strong stretch in all directions.

To ensure that the underwear fits well to the body and does not puff up at the edges, it is necessary to use an additional type of thread. When tying the edges of panties or a bra, you need to add spandex or elastic thread (of the same color or transparent) to the main thread.

When knitting a bra, you can use ready-made cups. You can purchase them in specialized craft stores. Sometimes such things can be seen in the fabric departments next to other little things for sewing. The cups are simply tied with the chosen motifs and that’s it. This will be an option for more closed underwear.

In addition to the threads, you will need a few more items. For the panties you will need a piece of soft cotton jersey, from which you will then cut a gusset. For your bra, purchase underwires, a hook-and-eye closure, and strap adjusters. It’s best to look for ready-made straps that match the color.

Experienced craftswomen know that high-quality yarn can be used to knit not only thick winter sweaters, but also thin, delicate items. Knitted underwear may not look very familiar, but such models have been at the peak of all fashion trends for several seasons now. In this article we will look at how to knit underwear quickly and easily with your own hands.

How to knit a stylish set of underwear with your own hands in a step-by-step tutorial

To knit a set of underwear you will need:

• iris threads (100% cotton)
• crochet hook No. 1 or 1.5 (if you prefer tighter knitting, you can take hook No. 2)
• elastic band-spandex (necessary to prevent the waistband of panties from stretching)

How to sew spandex elastic into finished knitted underwear?

The biggest question is about sewing elastic into the finished product. To do this, you need to crochet the edges of the underwear in single crochet columns, picking up the spandex so that it goes inside the knitting. In this case, the elastic band will not be visible at all.

If the underwear model does not provide for tying in columns, there is a second way to sew in an elastic band. In this case, you need to take a needle with a thick eye (you don’t need a special knitting needle, just any thick needle). Thread the spandex through the eyelet and go around the edges of the knitting, pushing it inward so that the elastic is not visible. If the spandex is too thick and won't fit into your eyelet, there's a secret. Take regular, very thin threads and tie them to an elastic band. First, pull the threads through the eyelet, and they will tighten the elastic band into the eyelet.

How about a stylish knitted swimsuit? After all, on the beach you always want to look especially bright and original.

To make a knitted swimsuit you will need:

• 60 g black cotton yarn
• 60 g turquoise cotton yarn
• crochet hook No. 2.5

Yarn for underwear and swimwear should be chosen without adding lurex threads, because... they may cause skin irritation.

How to knit a swimsuit yourself (lower part):

1) Let's start knitting from the bottom of the swimsuit. Front strap: we put a chain of 12 chain loops on the hook.

2) We knit 5 rows with half double crochets, evenly adding one loop on both sides in each row.

3) We collect the required number of rows, doing constant fittings.

4) Take black threads and knit another row, only with single crochets.

5) We knit the next row according to the pattern “dc, 1 chain, double crochet, skip two loops of the previous row.”

6) We knit another row with single crochets.

7) Decorate with patterned loops: 4 half double crochets in each loop.

8) We collect a chain of 80 air loops on each side. We tie the laces with a bow. The bottom element of the swimsuit is ready!

How to knit a swimsuit yourself (top part):

1) We collect a chain of 30 air loops onto the hook with thread.

2) We continue to knit with half double crochets, decreasing one loop on both sides in every second row.

3) We tie the element with black yarn, and then with an openwork pattern.

4) All that remains is to sew the straps and connect both parts in the middle. Knitted swimsuit is ready! Please note that this product is not intended for swimming in a river or sea, as... After getting wet, the canvas may lose its shape. The ideal option for using it would be a romantic photo shoot or just a walk on the beach.

Cute knitted underwear can be knitted not only for adults, but also for children. We bring to your attention charming panties for the little fashionista.

To knit children's panties you will need:

• 40 g yellow yarn (35% cotton, 65% viscose, 310 m/100 g)
• 40 g brown yarn (35% cotton, 65% viscose, 310 m/100 g)
• crochet hook No. 1.5

Below is a diagram and description of the finished product.

How to knit baby panties:

1) You need to cast on 98 chain stitches on the knitting needles (the length of the entire chain will be approximately 23 cm) and close them into a ring. Crochet four layers with double crochets. Then fold the knitting in half, connect the first and fourth levels with single crochets - this will be the hem for the elastic. Next, we continue to work with the pattern according to pattern No. 1 - we knit 12 cm in this way.

2) Knit the first two levels from the back side in columns with double crochets - this is necessary to increase this element. During the knitting process, we alternate yellow and brown levels in any order.

3)Next, we divide the workpiece into two halves and knit each of them independently, without knitting one element of the three-column pattern at the beginning and end of each row. So we knit seven cm so that we get a straight part of this width. We knit the other half in the same way.

4) Sew the finished parts of the product together with single crochet columns, and tie the holes for the legs with single crochet columns. Stylish panties for a newborn are ready!

Video on the topic of the article

For greater clarity, we suggest watching the following video lessons, which demonstrate in detail the process of making knitted underwear yourself.

The very expression “underwear” appeared only at the end of the 19th century, when ladies made a firm decision to wear it not only for the sake of figure correction and hygiene, but also for the sake of beauty. Then they began to use lace, embossing, embroidery, bows, flounces, silk ribbons, and ruffles in the decoration of underwear. The corset went out of fashion, and was replaced by the wild popularity of pantaloons.

Today, shows of new collections of such big men of the lingerie industry as Victoria's Secret are turning into the most anticipated events of the year, which both fashion critics, media representatives and the show business elite strive to attend.

The real shock of this season was the fashion for knitted items. Fashionable bath attendants and beachgoers have long appreciated special crocheted swimsuits. After all, during their manufacture, natural thread is selected, which allows the skin to breathe freely in the finished swimsuit.

First of all, we owe the appearance of knitted underwear in the current fashion to Poland, or more precisely, to a small village in the Polish mountains called Koniakow. This village has always been famous for its knitted napkins. It was the Konyakov craftswomen who came up with the idea to expand their range of underwear knitted using the same well-known napkin technology. Knitted thongs look very piquant on a woman’s body, and the naturalness of the thread used in knitting them makes the finished product hygienic and comfortable.

All this was appreciated by consumers of knitted underwear. This is evidenced by the growing popularity of knitted panties. Konyakovsk craftswomen are already barely coping with orders from online store customers!

I must say that knitting underwear is quite painstaking work. Indeed, as a raw material for the manufacture of a set of underwear, it is necessary to select not ordinary yarn of a suitable color, but a very thin thread. Underwear is just underwear because it doesn’t involve voluminous protrusion from under the dress. The painstaking nature of such work is also added by the fashion for knitting from fragments without tearing off the thread. It is this method of knitting that gives the most interesting and beautiful effect, in contrast to knitting with a single piece of fabric.

It is also worth noting that crocheting underwear is preferable to knitting. This is due to the fact that “hook” underwear practically does not stretch.

Be that as it may, today we can safely state that not only women are delighted with knitted underwear, but also men who admire them on their beloved ones. This is not surprising! After all, crocheted is surprisingly openwork and seductive.

In order to have an ultra-fashionable set of such underwear in your wardrobe, it is not at all necessary to take a long trip to the Polish village of Koniakiv. Knitting lovers can find detailed descriptions of miracle knitting on numerous Internet portals for needlewomen. In the same all-powerful virtual information spaces, you can find a lot of advertisements and offers to accept your order for the production of a knitted set of underwear, taking into account your individual wishes in color and model. The cost of manufacturing such a set varies within the price of traditional underwear.

Whether knitted or traditional - what kind of underwear to wear is, of course, a purely personal matter and even in some cases very intimate. Nevertheless, I am pleased with the appearance of something fundamentally new in lingerie fashion and the opportunity to choose. It is an undeniable fact that our well-being greatly depends on what kind of underwear we wear. And it’s no big deal that underwear is hidden from the eyes of others by the main wardrobe. After all, Vivien Leigh was forced to wear underwear from the era of the American Civil War on the set of the immortal Gone with the Wind. And to all the actress’s objections that he was still not visible behind the main dress, the director resolutely answered: “It doesn’t matter that he’s not visible! What matters is how you feel in it!”

You will need

• - cotton threads
• “iris”, “snowflake”, “poppy”;
• - hook No. 1.5 or 2, depending on the thickness of the threads;
• - patterns;
• - fastener - button, hook or plastic buckle;
• - adjusters for straps;
• - rubber thread;
• - a piece of knitwear to match the threads.

Instructions

Start making the set with a shirt. It is not much different from a T-shirt top, so there should be no problems. You can even knit a shirt. Determine its width. To do this, you need to measure the circumference of your chest and hips. For a product with a fairly free shape, take the measurement that is larger. This is usually the hip circumference. Only in cases where the breasts are very large, the chest girth is taken as a basis. In this case, you do not need half measurements, as when sewing, but full ones.

Calculate single crochets and openwork stitches. Knit a chain of the required number of loops and close it into a circle. Knit the first few rows in a circle, making 2 chain stitches at the beginning of each row. Make an openwork border. This could be, for example, a grid along which . Knit 1 double crochet into the stitch of the previous row, then make an air loop and skip 1 double crochet, knit the next double crochet again into the stitch of the previous row. In this way, alternate stitches until the end of the row. Tie 5-6 rows with a mesh and switch to single crochets again.

Work in single crochets up to the armpits. You can make one row of mesh at the waist so that you can insert a belt there in the future. Having reached the armhole, go back to the mesh and knit 5-6 rows with it. Finish with two or three rows of simple stitches, and knit the last couple of rows with a rubber thread.

Mark the places for the straps. They can be tied, for example, with braid. Cast on a chain of 6 loops, knit the first row in a column, making 2 lifting loops at the beginning of the row. Then, at the beginning of each row, knit 6 chain stitches. There should be 6 posts everywhere. Make the straps of the required length and attach them to the designated places on the shirt. Decorate the product with mesh embroidery or appliqué. Since this is the case, the embroidery should be soft.

For and panties you will need. It can be taken from any fashion magazine. If there is nothing suitable in the magazines, cut out the seams of yours and your bra and trace them on graph paper or whatman paper. Seam allowances are not needed, so trace strictly along the contour of the parts themselves. You will need the pattern in the future.

Start knitting panties from the top. Complete the first few rows with rubber thread. You can knit directly from cotton yarn, and tie it with rubber yarn afterwards. The most appropriate knitting is single crochet. Adding loops on the sides must begin immediately. Before the last loop and after the initial chain on the rise, knit 2 stitches in one. Don't forget to try on your work according to the pattern. It is better to make panties from two parts - front and back.

To make cutouts for the legs, do not knit a certain number of loops in each row. It depends on the style. For example, start a front row in the usual way, knit a section of the side and middle, then turn the work over, make 2 loops in the rise and then knit only the middle part. In the first and second rows it is necessary not to knit 15-20 loops, in the next - 2-3, depending on the pattern. The leg openings on the back will be slightly smaller than on the front.
