[:rs]Šta je Daster Mantil?
Da li znate šta je „daster“? (eng. duster)
Ja sam tek nedavno, ćaskajući sa veštačkom inteligencijom, saznala šta tačno označava ova reč kada su u pitanju ogrtači, mantili, kaputi… Naravno, pretpostavljam da ste čuli za Dačijin Daster, model većeg automobila, ali ovaj kukičani daster daleko je zanimljiviji komad za nas heklarice i pletilje.
Daster je, dakle, veoma dugačak mantil ili kaput, koji često ide i do zemlje, pa pošto usput skuplja prašinu, verovatno je otud i dobio naziv (dust = prašina na engleskom). Mi bismo onda mogli na srpski da ga prevedemo kao „Praško“, „Prašnjavko“, ili „Brisko Prašinović“ na primer.
Razgovor sa Chat-botom
A zašto sam ćaskala sa Chat Botom, možda se pitate? Upravo zbog ovog heklanog dastera. Kada sam ga uradila pre par meseci, htela sam da mu dam ime. Međutim, zapela sam negde u tom procesu i ni jedna normalna ideja nije mi pala napamet za njegov naziv. Zbog toga sam sela i za pomoć priupitala AI, i neverovatno je koliko dobrih naziva mi je generisao. Još bolje od svega toga je da smo se slatko ispričali. Ne znam, ustvari, da li je to dobro, da li govori o tome koliko smo svi postali ili postajemo usamljeni, ali malo je falilo da ga pitam jel hoće da mu skuvam kafu.
Chat GPT – dade mu i ime!
Bilo kako bilo, za sve što me je zanimalo ChatGPT imao je odgovor u roku od jedne ipo sekunde. Dao mi je mnoštvo predloga, pa sam izabrala naziv Diamond Dream Duster (Daster Dijamantski San), sa jedne strane, jer ovaj kaputić na leđima i rukavima ima motiv romba, tj. dijamanta. Drugi deo naziva „San“ (Dream) savršeno se uklopio u moj doživljaj ovog komada koji je zaista kao san snova. Lagan je, prozračan, mekan, i nadasve tako šik i glamurozan, da u njemu niko ne može ostati neopažen. Pored toga, dok sam ga snimala šetajući se u njemu, osećaj je stvarno bio kao u snu – daster se pri hodu vijori i leprša, prateći pokrete tela. I na kraju, o ovom heklanom mantilu sanjala sam nekoliko nedelja dok konačno nisam sakupila sve ostatke vunice, odlučila koje boje da kombinujem, sela da ga heklam, i završila.
[:en]What is a „Duster“?
I suppose you all know what a duster coat is. Well, I found out about this coat name just recently, while chatting with the ChatGPT Bot. And may I say, this name for a coat is very interesting for anyone who likes to knit or crochet, especially granny square motifs.
I also learned that a duster is any kind of a very long coat, whether it’s leather, cotton, or made from another material, especially if it reaches your feet. In that case it literally „dusts off“ everything from the ground.
Chatting with Chat-bot
And why did I chat with ChatGPT in the first place, you may ask. Well, just because of this crochet duster. When I finished it a couple months ago, I wanted to give it a name. However, I got stuck in the process of thinking and no good idea came to my mind concerning its name. That’s why I sat down and asked AI to help. It’s incredible how many names it has generated. Even better than that was the fact that we really had a great talk. I, actually, don’t know whether it’s good or not, whether it says something about how we’ve all become, or are becoming lonely, but I almost asked it if it wanted a cup of coffee.
Chat GPT – The Godfather!
Anyway, for all my questions ChatGPT had an answer within one and a half seconds. It has given me lots of suggestions and I picked this one – Diamond Dream Duster for several reasons. Firstly, the coat has a diamond motif on the back and sleeves. Secondly, the other part of its name – Dream – fits perfectly in my impression of this piece which is really like a dream. It’s light, airy, soft, and above all, so chic and glamorous, that no one can stay unnoticed in it. Besides, as I was shooting it by walking in it, the feeling was truly like in a dream – the duster flaps and flutters swinging in the rhythm of your body. And finally, I’d been dreaming about this crochet coat for weeks before I finally gathered all my yarn leftovers, decided which colors to combine, sat down to make it, and finished it.

[:rs]Struktura ogrtača
Fotografije dole prikazuju prozračnost i laganu lepršavost ogrtača. Duž prednjih ivica i donje bordure proteže se niz šarenih bakinih kvadrata, dok su na leđima i donjem delu rukava smešteni veći rombovi, tj. dijamanti, u istom bakinom motivu. Ostatak mantila urađen je u bodu mreže belom vunicom. Gusto napravljene loptice pompona na donjoj ivici postavljene su tačno ispod centra svakog kvadratnog motiva.
[:en]The Crochet Structure of Diamond Dream Duster
The photos below show the airiness and light flare of the wrap. Along front and bottom edges stretches a line of colorful granny squares, while on the back and on the lower parts of sleeves you can see diamond motifs, also made in the granny square stitch. The rest of the duster has mesh stitches with white yarn. Dense pompom balls along the bottom side lie exactly below the center of every square motif.

[:rs]Izmene i razlike
Kada govorimo o razlikama i mojim izmenama ovog mantila, prvo što sam izmenila bili su rukavi. Original predviđa da dijamant koji čini rukav bude postavljen odmah ispod ramenog motiva bakinog kvadrata. Međutim, pošto sam želela duge rukave na svom ogrtaču, na isheklani dijaman nakukičala sam još 10 redova mreže od visokih stubića. Mreža se radi viskokim stubićima razdvojenim jednom petljom lančića. Tako dobijeni rukav sastavila sam sa ostatkom kaputa.
Evo i ostalih izmena u odnosu na original:
- Druga izmena tiče se prednjih ivica i vratne bordure koje su u mojoj varijanti urađene osnovnom (belom) bojom, a u originalu su šarene. Moj daster učinio mi se dovoljno koloritnim da bih mu i prednje bordure uradila raznim bojama.
- Treća razlika u odnosu na original tiče se takođe gorepomenutih bordura oko vrata i prednjih ivica. Moja verzija „bakinog dastera“ ima dodatnu borduricu od 3 reda poluvisokih stubića koji se rade u 3. petlju. Ova dopunska bordura zahvata i donju ivicu kaputa, i urađena je na samom kraju.
- Četvrta razlika je još jedan moj dodatak, a to su džepovi. U galeriji slika dole videćete džep koji je jednostavno ponovljen isti motiv kvadrata na koji je i našiven. Volim da imam džepove na kaputima i mantilima, pa je i ovaj rad dobio taj detalj.
- Poslednja izmena odnosi se na dužinu. Umesto 6 redova mreže od visokih stubića, koja se nalazi između leđnog dijamanta i bakinih kvadratića, ja sam uradila 10 redova. Time je moj daster ispao dosta duži, a rekla bih da je zbog toga i lepši i glamurozniji.
[:en]Changes & Differences
When we speak about differences and my alterations of the look of this coat, the first change considers the sleeves. That is to say, the original has a diamond attached directly onto the shoulder granny square. However, wanting my coat to have long sleeves, after making the sleeve diamond, I crocheted additional 10 rounds onto it in mesh stitch. I crocheted the mesh by doing a dc, ch1 repeat. Then I attached the sleeve to the coat.
Here are the rest of the modifications I made:
- Second alteration was on the front and neck borders which I did only in main (white) color of my version, while the original is multicolored. My duster seemed colorful enough to have the border in more different colors.
- The third difference comparing to the authentic pieces is also connected to the above mentioned neck and front borders. My variation of the granny duster has an additional border, done in 3 rounds of half double crochet in 3rd stitch. This added line goes along the bottom edge as well and represents the final stage of the work.
- The fourth difference is another addition of mine – pockets. In the slider gallery below you will see a very simple method of making the pockets – just repeat one of the granny squares and sew it over that same square, leaving the top side open. And, voila, you have a pocket! I like to have pockets on my coats and wraps, so that’s why this work got that detail too.
- The final modification was the length of the coat. Instead of 6 rows of dc mesh, which lies between the diamond on the back and the row of granny square motifs, I crocheted a mesh of 10 rows. This made my Dream Duster longer, and due to that, if you ask me, it turned out more beautiful and glamorous.

[:rs]uputstvo u kratkim crtama [:en]instructions in a nutshell [:]
[:rs]Daster Dijamantski San radi se u nekoliko etapa. U ovoj objavi dajem samo okvirne korake u postupku rada, a link za detaljni video tutorijal turske autorke, koji mi je izuzetno pomogao u realzaciji ovog projekta, naći ćete ispod.
Korak 1 – Leđa
Leđa se započinju heklanjem šarenog dijamanta čija dijagonala treba da bude otprilike 5 cm duža od polovine obima Vašeg struka. Dijamant se radi ukrug. Na svaku stranicu dijamanta se zatim naheklavaju trouglovi, posebno 1 po 1, koji se rade bodom mreže sa okretanjem (visoki stubić, 1 petlja lančića). Nakon toga, na jednu stranu ovako novodobijenog kvadrata, naheklava se nova mreža u istom bodu kao i trouglovi. Original, kao što sam napomenula, predviđa 6 redova, dok moj ogrtač ima 10.
Korak 2 – Prednjica
Prvi deo prednjice radi se od bakinih kvadrata koji se u poslednjem redu povezuju jedan sa drugim i ujedno kače na urađeni leđni deo. Kvadratni motivi ne dodaju se na vratni izrez, tu treba ostaviti rad slobodan. Svaki kvadratni bakin motiv ima 4 reda. Prva tri reda urađena su bojama od ostataka pletiva, a 4. red osnovnom bojom. Naravno, svaki bakin kvadratić možete isheklati po svojoj želji.
Kvadratni motivi naheklavaju se i na donju ivicu dastera.
Korak 3 – rukavi
U video tutorijalu videćete kako se rukavi heklaju i zatim sastavljaju sa ostatkom kaputa. Moji rukavi koji su duži, imaju dodatnu mrežu od visokih stubića iznad dijamanata.
Korak 4 – Bordure
Oko vrata i prednjih ivica ovog heklanog mantila radi se već više puta pomenuta mreža od visokih stubića i 1 petlje lančića. Ja sam dodala i jedan red ispod kvadratnih motiva na leđima.
Kao što sam već pomenula gore u izmenama, svom dasteru dodala sam i 3 reda bordure od poluvisokih stubića sa ubadanjem u 3. petlju.
Korak 5 – Izrada pompona
Odličan video tutorijal za izradu ćubica ili pompona koji izgledaju kao čvrste, guste loptice, kakvi su i u ovom modelu, naći ćete na ovom linku. Pompone zatim našijte na donju ivicu kaputa, ispod centra svakog bakinog kvadrata, i po jedan na ćoškovima.
Naknadno sam sam svom dasteru dodala i pantljike za vezivanje koje na krajevima imaju po jednu kićanku. Pantljike sam provukla kroz poslednji red mreže vratnog izreza, a izvukla sam ih negde u visini grudi. Na taj način, ogrtač može delimično i da se zatvori.
[:en]Diamond Dream Duster is worked in several stages. In this post I’m sharing only rough guidance about the process of making this crochet coat, and the links for the free detailed video tutorial by a Turkish author, which helped me immensely, you will find below.
Step 1 – Back
You start the back piece by crocheting the large diamond, whose diagonal side is about 5 cm / 2 in bigger than 1/2 of your waist measurement. Crochet the diamond in the rounds. Next, onto each side of the diamond you crochet a triangle mesh, 1 by 1, with turns. The mesh is already mentioned above: (dc, ch1) repeat. When you finish the mesh triangles on every side, you will get a new big square piece, inside of which is the diamond. After that, a new mesh is crocheted onto one side of this square. The original, as I mentioned earlier, proposes 6 rows of this mesh, but I did 10.
Step 2 – Front
First part of the front consists of granny squares joined together in the last round. At the same time, they are joined with the back piece. Granny square motifs are not attached to the neck part of the back piece, this part is left free. Each square motif has 4 rounds. The first three are made from different colors of the leftover yarn, while the 4th round is made in white. Of course, you can make each granny square in your own choice of colors.
Granny squares are also attached to the bottom edge of the back piece.
Step 3 – Sleeves
In the video tutorial you will see the process of making the sleeves and attaching them to the coat. My sleeves are longer and they have additional mesh rows above the diamond motif.
Step 4 – Borders
The same mesh pattern goes along the neckline and front edges of the duster. I added one extra row of mesh below the squares at the bottom. Additionally, I also crocheted 3 more rounds of half double crochet stitches done in 3rd loop.
Step 5 – Making the Pompoms
There is an excellent video tutorial on how to make perfect pompoms, which look like firm, dense balls, as seen in this coat. The pompoms lie along the bottom edge of the coat, below the center of each granny square, and one on each corner.
Lateron, I added a drawstring with 2 tassels on my coat. I pulled the drawstring through the last round of mesh around the neck and pulled them out at the chest. That way the duster can close up a bit.
