1. Lace ribbons around the neck. Returning from the depths of the twentieth century, the choker immediately gained popularity among lovers of silk and ajour.
2. Collars for school uniforms. Modern school education implies a single strict uniform, and the spirit of Soviet student fashion is more and more often slipped into the graduating classes. Black dress, white collar.
3. Lace as an integral part of the dress. Masters and novice needleworkers sometimes form the top band of the bodice as a patterned net. The curve of the shoulders and the fragility of women's collarbones is a clear advantage of such accessories over the closed type of dresses.

• Let's take 150 stitches with a hook and close them in a circle.
• Now we will take up the basis of our pattern. Take 4 sts, two sts in the next sts, then repeat until the end of the row.

Let's knit an openwork bodice for a dress

We make the dress blank in the usual way: measuring the main dimensions, making the pattern, sewing the base. In the output we have a dress without a top, that is, the neckline ends at 5 cm below the collarbones. Now let's start working on the lace part of our closet piece.

Step-by-step scheme-instruction for needleworkers:

• We dial the necessary number of air loops, close them in a ring. Regardless of the size, the number of elements typed must be divided by two. Plus add 1 stitch.
• The pattern itself is formed by alternating just two rows. Now we will get acquainted with samples of these patterns.
• Pattern #1: two b. p., one column with n., skip 1 element, column with n., 1 b. p., 1 column with n. in the same loop as the previous column. Starting with the skipped stitch, repeat knitting pattern until the end of the row.
• Pattern #2: two b. p., 1 column with n., a column with n. in the gap between the previously skipped elements, air loop, another column in the gap. Repeat pattern details until the end of the row.
• Knit the lace to the desired size, finishing the edges of the product at the same level. On the back surface we form a joint and sew miniature buttons.
• Carefully hem the lace bodice to the base of the dress.

As you can see, the scheme is easy to do and available to any beginner.

For original models for the holiday party it is not necessary to organize a trip to the store. Sometimes it is enough to have time, inspiration and a set of necessary materials. The main thing is to start working, and the experience will come with each new loop typed!
