Crocheted garter without elastic

Satin and lace garters - it's beautiful. But when the bride knows how to knit, she will prefer to make a product on her own using this technique. Knitted garters look original and unusual, in addition, when making a knitted accessory, natural threads are used, so the risk of irritation from wearing wardrobe parts from synthetic materials (as in the case with lace or organza) is reduced to zero.

Necessary materials and tools

• Scheme.
• Threads of two types: some are thicker (560 m / 100 g), others are thinner (400 m / 100 g) of white or another color.
• Crochet hook for 0.6 and 0.9.
• Beads with large holes so that the hook can freely penetrate into them.

Stages of creation

1. As shown in the diagram, the product pattern will consist of several colors interconnected. First you need to tie the required number of colors. To do this, with more dense threads and a hook at 0.9, we collect 4 air loops and connect them into a ring.
2. We begin to make the first row: we collect three air loops. The ring that happened in the previous step is braided with 20 double crochets.
   
3. Second row: we collect one air loop, after which we make another 7 loops and a single crochet, which we pass into the 4th loop of the chain of the first row. We braid the entire row in a similar way.
4. Third row: after collecting three air loops, we make 10 double crochets over the arches, which turned out in the previous row. We braid the entire row, only in each next arch we collect not 10, but 11 double crochets.
   
5. The fourth row consists of single crochet posts that alternate with air loops. The flower is ready, we knit as many blanks as needed for the garter of the bride (about 12 pcs.)
6. We knit an openwork net with thin threads and another crochet: in the air loops of the previous row we make columns without a crochet, followed by 5 air loops, then again a single crochet. And so across the bride’s garter row.
   
7. Tying the blanks with an openwork mesh, we connect the flowers in a continuous strip.
8. We continue to weave an openwork net in the same way for three more rows.
   
9. When weaving the fourth row, the number of air loops over the arches increases to 8 pieces, and over each arch in the air loops weaves along a bead or large beads. The bead must be centered in the arch.
10. Weave pearls (beads, bead, etc.) around the entire perimeter of the bride’s garter from above and below. The product is ready.
