Irina (Karpenko) Horn is a name, certainly known among the masters of manual knitting. The author of a lot of enchanting models of clothes made by a crochet (Irina basically knits with a crochet), a blogger giving valuable advice to beginners and revealing the secrets of craftsmanship, the stylist and the model. Her works Irina photographs, talently composing them with the details of her own wardrobe, always acts herself as a model.

Horn Irina, in the girlhood of Karpenko, was born and grew up in Omsk. Now she lives and works in Germany, in Hamburg, almost all her free time devoting her favorite hobby - knitting.

Many models of clothing are quoted by thousands of imitators and are published in knitting magazines, such as:

• «Ksyusha».

• On many sites devoted to knitting, for example Knit-Crochet.ru.

On the pages in all social networks Irina has a lot of knitters and needlewomen in her friends who draw inspiration from the ideas and authorial incarnations, photos and descriptions of which she generously shares.

Tops, pullovers

In her blog for those who are just learning knitting, Irina Horn gives a description to many of the author's models and accompanies the tips for making and combining to create a harmonious image. In the arsenal of the craftsman there are quite a few tops and pullovers. Irina arranges them with shorts, trousers, skirts, with shirts that can be thrown over top or put on under a pullover, cardigans and elongated waistcoats, both knitted and sewn from fabric.

Many models, made in calm tones, for example, milky shades of Horn Irina prefers and uses them for many years, differently composing. But bright and audacious tone is present in her collections. Very interesting ethnic dress patterns, a sundress with a pattern combining juicy colors, or a red skirt in the floor, or a green cardigan, or a purple jacket. In the hands of Irina, any thread, any color turns into a unique model, which every craftsman wants to repeat, and every fashionista - to have in her wardrobe.

Skirts

Irina's wardrobe is rich in knitted openwork and dense skirts of various lengths. She boldly combines them with t-shirts, tops, turtlenecks and jackets. To her colleagues who want to put into practice the ideas submitted by Irina, she gives some advice on knitting skirts:

1. To begin with, you need a good pattern of the future product, which will need to be checked throughout the whole knitting process.
2. It is necessary to begin work from above, so it is more convenient to try on.
3. It is not necessary to knit in circular rows, and a new row to start with lifting loops.
4. In the process of changing the picture, it is necessary to moisten the product or steam it off with an iron (if the thread is natural) in order to be sure in the size and following the pattern, since after the steam or wetting the threads straighten and behave differently in different patterns.

Moreover, to many models of skirts, she appends drawing schemes and describes the sequence of their combination. Many skilled workers use schemes that are in the public domain on the Web and buy magazines on needlework with its publications.

Cardigans and waistcoats

Among the latest works of Irina Horn, the knitting of vests and cardigans is highlighted by bright and juicy shades.

Bright red, juicy orange, bold pink cardigans look new, actual and stylish in combination with pants in tone and blouses.

As always, the image is supplemented with accessories: handbags, a belt, a necklace or an interestingly tied scarf.

The extravaganza of the color of Irina Horn

I especially want to note the work with color. Irina Horn madly combines colors in sets. Knitted skirts, tunics, shorts, cardigans of different colors are combined with details of clothes of other texture in a very interesting color combination and complemented with accessories. In one of the blogs Irina gave advice to beginners on how to combine colors. She said that if there is no smell or confidence in how to correctly combine certain shades, you can buy a woman's shawl, where there is a tone that needs to be combined and boldly combined with any colors that are present on this scarf.

Accessories

A very interesting detail - crocheted knitted accessories, small scarves with many small details in the tone of the skirt, for example, which are almost always present in photos of knitted models by Irina Horn. They can be used both as scarves and as belts, depending on the mood and outfit.

Very interesting Irina has knitted handbags, which she can change and remodel over time, if she wants to revive her favorite model.

Stylist

For some time Irina published in her blog notes on new items and trends in fashion. She writes her opinion and brings photos from fashion shows, with advice and selections of experts about what colors, textures or models to prefer in different cases to ladies of different ages and weight categories.

In general, we can safely say that Irina Horn and crocheting are synonymous, even more than that, talented and unique knitting, elevated to the rank of art.
