What to knit with bouclé yarn. Jacket made of bouclé yarn. Models made from bouclé yarn

Double warmth creates the impression of greater reliability! To do this, we will knit a pullover and a scarf with contrasting stripes from super soft bouclé yarn. The seamless pullover is made entirely in circular rows.

Dimensions: pullover: 36-40; scarf: 190x30 cm

You will need: yarn (91% baby alpaca wool, 7.5% wool, 1.5% nylon; 90 m/50 g) for a pullover - 100 g mustard color and 600 g chestnut color, for a scarf - 400 g mustard color and 100 g chestnut color; knitting needles No. 7; circular knitting needles No. 7, length 40 and 60 cm.

Color sequence: alternately 6 rubles. mustard and chestnut colors.

Double loop: at the beginning of the row (after turning), lay the thread before work, insert the knitting needle on the right into the 1st stitch and remove the loop along with the thread. Then pull the thread back strongly, as a result the loop will be put on the knitting needle and you will get a double loop. In the next row, knit both parts of the double loop together according to the pattern - knit or purl.
Knitting density: 11 p. x 17 r. = 10 x 10 cm, knitted in garter stitch. Due to the spiral-shaped, uneven surface of the yarn, it is recommended to use a row counter during knitting.

Attention: The pullover is knitted from top to bottom in circular rows as one piece.

How to knit a pullover.

Round yoke: start at the back neckline and work in short rows. To do this, use chestnut thread to cast on 12 stitches on circular needles, after 6 stitches mark the middle of the back with a marker. * 1 rub. knit in garter stitch, cast on 4 additional stitches, turn, from * repeat 7 more times = 44 stitches.

At the end of the next row, additionally cast on another 16 sts = 60 sts. Close the loops in a ring and attach, evenly distributed, 6 markers. In the next and 2 subsequent circular rows in places with markers, add 1 p. = 78 p.

From this place, knit garter stitch stripes in circular rows, changing the color of the thread in the specified sequence, while in every 5th round. Knit 1 stitch from the broach 7 times. On both sides of each marker I am 162 stitches.

After 30 laps. R. knit alternating stripes with chestnut thread and divide the work: 52 sts for the back (with the 12 stitches cast on at the beginning being in the middle of the piece), 29 sts for the sleeves, 52 sts for the front, 29 sts for the sleeves. Leave the loops of both sleeves temporarily, cast on 6 sts between the front and back = 116 sts and continue working in circular rows in garter stitch, while attaching markers to the middle of the back and to the side seams.

After 33 cm = 58 circles. from dividing the work, temporarily leave 58 sts of the front, knit 58 sts of the back for rounding with garter stitch in shortened rows.

To do this, knit 52 stitches, turn with a double loop, knit 46 stitches in the opposite direction, turn with a double loop, then in each next row knit 6 stitches less and turn until 10 stitches remain in the work. Now knit 1 R. on all 58 sts and close the loops. Before finishing symmetrically.

Sleeves: On working knitting needles, re-slip the 29 left stitches, cast on an additional 3 stitches on the right and left = 35 stitches. Continue knitting in garter stitch. For bevels, add on both sides every 8th r. 3 times 1 p. = 41 p.

Then close on both sides every 4th r. 5 times 1 p. = 31 p. In the 48th r. Knit 2 sts together 4 times, evenly distributing decreases = 27 sts. Then knit another 8 sts. garter stitch and bind off all stitches. Knit the second sleeve in the same way.

Assembly: Sew sleeve seams and seams at bottom edges of armholes.

If you are planning to knit a warm, cozy and very soft thing, but do not know which yarn is ideal for this, then we recommend taking a closer look at boucle yarn. Bouclé yarn can be either with the addition of natural fibers or completely synthetic. This is very convenient for allergy sufferers and those with sensitive skin who cannot wear products made from natural wool.


The word “boucle”, from which the name of the yarn is derived, is translated from French as “curl” or “curly”. This determines the main difference between this thread and the others. Throughout its entire length, the yarn consists of fluffy, airy curls. The fabric is voluminous, soft and resembles the fur of a young lamb.

Let's consider the composition and properties of boucle yarn from different manufacturers.

  1. Pekhorka “Boucle” 30% mohair, 20% wool, 50% acrylic (200g/200m). This yarn is particularly soft, which is ideal for knitting children's clothes, toys, and interior items. The palette contains both calm shades that imitate undyed wool, and bright rich colors.
  2. Alize “Rainbow” 15% alpaca, 15% wool, 60% acrylic (350g/875m). This Turkish bouclé yarn is quite fine with small curls. In addition to the “curly” texture, this thread has an original ombre color, that is, the finished product will have soft transitions from a light shade to a darker one.
  3. Nazar “Krokha” 100% micropolyester (50g/75m). Voluminous and incredibly soft bouclé yarn. Ideal for knitting children's clothes, hypoallergenic and washable.
  4. YarnArt “Cha Cha Cha” 30% wool, 70% acrylic (100g/16m). This fatty, section-dyed yarn is suitable for finishing finished products and knitting accessories.

Advantages and disadvantages of yarn

Benefits of using Boucle

There are many advantages to working with boucle yarn:

  • No need to come up with a complex pattern. A fabric knitted with a simple satin stitch will already look impressive.
  • Speed ​​of work. Based on the first point, we conclude that the work goes much faster if you do not knit complex arans or openwork. In addition, most of the “Boucle” threads are quite thick, and the needles for the work are no less than No. 6, and often even larger. This fabric knits up very quickly.
  • Tactile sensations. Work is much more enjoyable if the working thread is soft, delicate and very pleasant to the touch.
  • Finished products made from bouclé yarn hold their shape well, do not shrink strongly after washing and do not stretch out during wear.

Disadvantages of Boucle thread

Oddly enough, not all needlewomen love “curly” thread, and here’s why:

  • Let's return again to the first point of the advantages of yarn - this is also its first disadvantage. Many needlewomen become bored with knitting using regular satin stitch, and the patterns on the “Buchla” do not look the best. Here we can recommend using “curls” for finishing finished products associated with beautiful complex patterns.
  • The finished canvas has an uneven texture. Not every product will look advantageous in such a texture.
  • An item knitted with a boucle thread has additional volume. Take this into account when knitting clothes so that you don’t realize later that they make you look fat.

Products and yarns “Bouclé”

Having learned about the pros and cons of yarn with curls, the question arises, what can be knitted from it? There are more than enough options:

Knitting a cozy jacket


To work on such a soft, cozy jacket you will need 400 g of bouclé yarn, knitting needles No. 5 and 5.5 and one large button for fastening.


Sew side and shoulder seams. Sew the sleeves and stitch them into the armholes. Sew on a button. A soft, cozy jacket made from bouclé yarn is ready!

Knitting a beanie hat

In order to knit a warm and stylish beanie hat, you will need 160 g of bouclé thread and knitting needles No. 6 and No. 8.

  1. Cast on 48 stitches on size 6 needles.
  2. Knit 15 rows in garter stitch, then change tools and knit 17 cm high.
  3. Next we knit this way:

It is a special type of thread, thanks to which you can create original textured products. Decorative threads are made with special irregularities. This feature of bouclé yarn gives it increased softness and volume. Yarn is produced by placing another material with thickenings in a chaotic manner on a thin thread.

The word "boucle" is taken from the French language and translates as "curly." This word fully characterizes the structure of microfibers of boucle threads. From these, experienced needlewomen knit various scarves, head accessories, sweaters, as well as interior items in the form of bedspreads and pillows. You can even knit interesting toys for children. Let's take a closer look at this material.


Before you start knitting products from bouclé yarn, you need to carefully consider the process of choosing a suitable style. The pattern should be kept as simple as possible, with minimal use of adding and decreasing knit and purl stitches. All kinds of openwork, braids and reliefs are also not suitable. Such ornaments will be completely invisible in knitting. If you have already taken up bouclé, then it would be better to do a simple knit or purl stitch. Garter knitting is also suitable.

To obtain a loose knitting, you need to use large tools in your work. Knitting needles work best because the possibility of missing a stitch is minimized. If you're crocheting, you can easily skip a column. This is because it is practically invisible in the previous strip.

Another point that needs to be taken into account when knitting from boucle yarn. In order not to get confused and not try to create a product “by eye”, get yourself a notebook with a pen. In it you need to record all your additions and decreases of stitches, the number of rows knitted. Otherwise, you may get lost, and then you will have to unravel the entire canvas. When unraveling, boucle yarn loses its fluffiness and attractiveness. This is why it is important to write down your every action.

Bouclé knitted products

When thinking about the appearance of the desired product, do not forget to take into account all the features of your own figure, as well as the time of year when you want to wear this clothing. It is impossible not to say that a boucle jacket or a knitted dress can visually increase your volume.

Knits made from warm fibers, such as wool and merino, will be appropriate in cardigans, autumn coats and transseasonal jackets. In winter, a knitted hat with a scarf and a pair of mittens will look great.

For summer clothes, thin bouclé yarn, which mainly consists of natural cotton, is suitable. Products made from such threads are suitable for women with a fragile figure, since bouclé with lumps will give them the volume they require. Tops and dresses can be knitted according to patterns, as experienced needlewomen do.

It is very easy to care for such bouclé clothes. Must be washed by hand in non-hot water. The clothes do not twist out, but are laid out on the surface until it dries completely. After the first wash, the yarn will become much softer and fluffier.

Advantages and disadvantages

Having studied this material to some extent, we can draw final conclusions about all the advantages and disadvantages. The main advantage is that the knitted product will be durable and elastic, and most importantly, that your favorite style of clothing will keep its original shape. If the bouclé is made from natural wool, then the product can have high thermal conductivity, which gives it another significant advantage. And of course, such a thread will be pleasant to the touch.

The minor disadvantages of bouclé yarn may not be obvious disadvantages, since they are associated only with its characteristics. For example, it is not recommended to use this material in machine knitting, since an uneven surface can stall the entire process for a long time or even make it difficult to complete it. The hook will also be very difficult to handle. Boucle clothing is perfect for slender women, but it is not suitable for those with curvy figures because it adds extra volume to the figure. Another drawback is the price. It is much more expensive than simple threads. To save at least a little, you should pay attention to domestically produced yarn. It is in no way inferior in quality to Western manufacturers, and its cost is lower.

After purchasing bouclé yarn, do not rush to throw away the label with the necessary information: about the length, thickness, brand and batch of the skein. Save it until you finish working on the product. If suddenly you don’t have enough material, you can calmly buy the one indicated on your label. Sometimes a situation may occur when the same skein number differs in color and structure from different manufacturers.

How to knit with bouclé yarn? Bouclé yarn... What is it and how to knit with such threads correctly? The word "boucle" translated from French means "curled", "curly" (remember elegant ladies' hairstyles with boucles). A thread of bouclé yarn consists of microfibers with decorative thickenings, loops or knots. Thanks to this, the fabric knitted from bouclé turns out lush, soft and very light. Craftswomen knit everything from boucle: scarves and hats (berets are especially beautiful), sweaters, coats, ponchos, cardigans, toys, interior items - pillows and bedspreads. Knitting from bouclé yarn requires patience and certain skills. But believe me, the result is worth it! How to knit from bouclé: five secrets that will help you succeed 1. Choosing a model When choosing a model for knitting from bouclé yarn, follow the principle “the simpler the better.” Discard any openwork and reliefs: they will still not be visible on the fluffy, loose fabric. Simple shapes are best - circles, rectangles with minimal decreases/increases. Please also note that a garment made from bouclé yarn will be very voluminous. To maintain the proportions of the figure, you may need to lengthen the pattern a little. 2. Selecting knitting needles and a hook For boucle yarn, large tools are suitable: after all, the fabric should be quite loose. Give preference to a hook or knitting needles from No. 3 and above, depending on the location of the thickenings on the thread. Knitting from bouclé is more convenient than crocheting. When knitting, the risk of “losing” a loop is minimal, but when crocheting, you can easily skip the stitches of the previous row - after all, they are almost invisible on the boucle fabric. During the knitting process, try to hook or knit the section of thread that is located between the “bulls” so that all the “fluffiness” remains outside and does not hide between the loops. 3. Select a pattern The optimal knitting for boucle thread is garter stitch (all stitches are purl) or knit stitch (a row of knit stitches, a row of purl stitches). Single crochets are suitable for the hook. Please note: when working with bouclé thread, the wrong side turns out to be fluffy (this applies to both knitting needles and crochet hooks). 4. Write everything down When planning to knit a product from bouclé with identical or symmetrical details, prepare not only yarn and tools, but also a notebook with a pen. Write down everything important: increases and decreases, number of rows. It will not be possible to calculate these things “by eye”, since the texture of the yarn hides all the rows and loops. When starting to work on the second (third, etc.) part, constantly check your notes. Better yet, knit several parts at the same time, from different skeins. With this approach, the chance of making a mistake will be minimal. 5. We take care correctly And now, finally, the work is finished. Be sure to wash the finished product - it will become softer. Wash carefully: only by hand, in cool water, without twisting or stretching. Dry flat at room temperature.
