Every woman has a crocheted thing in her wardrobe; such products are distinguished by an endless variety of openwork patterns that cannot be paid attention to. Crocheting itself is considered an attractive applied art and there are few people who do not own such needlework, for sure at least one thing connected with their own hands. Learning to own a crochet is not difficult, the main thing is to correctly and carefully follow the elements indicated in the diagram. Another point is the correspondence of the threads and the number of the hook, so that the patterns are clear and even.

Choice of thread and crochet

Knitting a beautiful thing is the dream of every knitter, but no one thinks that the process can become tedious and annoying due to the wrong hook or yarn. The thickness of the threads is matched to the size of the hook. For knitting, cotton threads are used, some of them have a synthetic or silk insert, this allows you to quickly do the job and gives the product expressiveness and shine.

Depending on the density of the thing being created, the threads are selected of the appropriate thickness. The thinner they are, the easier and more delicate the canvas will turn out. Napkins and thin summer blouses for women require threads with sizes 20 and 30, but for bulky and dense things, yarn is used for 10. You also need to seriously approach the choice of a hook, firstly, pay attention to the number indicated on the package or tool, and secondly, the strength of the handle, it can be plastic or wood. The hook is selected from durable, rigid stainless steel.

The peculiarity of the crochet hook - summer openwork things made of fine yarn

Summer is the hot season of the year and woolen clothes are inappropriate here if it is not an openwork blouse or top. They are knitted from fine yarn, for which a suitable hook is selected. Spider webs of thin threads are created using a hook with a diameter of 0.6 to 1.5, but if a more spectacular pattern is made, it is better to take a frequently used thin yarn and a hook of 1.5 to 2.5 in size. It is advisable to use a metal tool with the correct tip; it should not be sharp and slippery when gripping the thread.

Hooks for fine yarn are short to the handle so that the loops do not turn out to be elongated, and this can disrupt the texture of the pattern. A flattened handle is considered more convenient than a rounded one, does not press on the fingers so much and does not allow the tool to slip

Patterns

The selected pattern affects the thickness of the canvas and softness. If a jacket or cardigan is performed with embossed flowers, then the pattern is knitted tightly. But blouses or jackets with lace, which do not hide underwear, top or shirt, must be done with openwork motifs. Crochet allows you to create many patterns of clothes: blouses, skirts, dresses, hats, etc.

Knitting techniques

Any pattern when crocheting is done in several ways:

air loop (the main knitting element, forms a chain from which any product begins);
yarn (the thread is thrown onto the hook, where there is already a loop, the more yarns, the higher the column);
half-column (a loop is removed from the previous row and knitted together with a loop on a hook);
column (knitted with a crochet and without a crochet); pico (edge \u200b\u200bbinding).

In order not to get confused in these details, they make diagrams with the designation of each element. Sometimes you have to make complex patterns, like in the broomstick knitting technique, here you use an additional long object (knitting needle or ruler). The task of the technique is to perform even large air loops, which are then tied in a bundle with five single crochets, while forming an eight.

But for the Tunisian pattern, a selection of a long hook is needed so that it is convenient to hold like a knitting needle or a pencil. The fabric is knitted on one side only, it does not turn over, as when knitting. Here one row is knitted from left to right and, conversely, from right to left. In the front line, the loops are knitted immediately, and in the purl, all the loops are first thrown onto the hook, and then they are knitted one by one. The choice of the crochet does not correspond to traditional knitting, if hook number 2 is required for the selected yarn, then 2.5 is taken according to the Tunisian technique.

There are also a lot of patterns that are knitted using a special technology, and each is interesting in its own way. And in the catalog things are presented as unique, as the pattern and style of the product are combined.

Of course, with the desire to learn how to do this and create beautiful, soulful things with your own hands. Crocheting, as the name of this type of needlework itself says, is carried out using a tool - a hook.

Hooks are very different: metal, wood, plastic and even ivory (I have one, a gift from my aunt knitter. Honestly, the tool is not suitable for knitting, but as a beautiful souvenir it is very even, well, and also as an excuse to brag to girlfriends with their "treasures").

And hats and scarves are numbered from 2.5 to 6-7.

To start knitting and learning, hook numbers 3-3.5 are suitable. And any yarn of medium thickness.

How to hold the hook.

I also need to say about the position of the hook in the hands. Here everyone chooses the option that is most convenient for him / her)).

The figure below shows a method called "pencil". Just take the hook the way you would take a writing pencil.

The following illustration shows the "spoon" method, in which the hook is held like a spoon while eating.

As you can see, everything is very simple.

Thread position when knitting.

Where the thread should be located during knitting is shown in the figure below. A working area for the hook is formed between the index and thumb. The thread leading to the ball is under the middle, ring and little fingers. And the little finger presses the thread lightly against the palm so that it does not dangle. The free end of the thread is 4-5 cm. More is possible. At the end of the work, I thread this end into a needle with a large eye and carefully thread it into work.

The main elements of crocheting are the air loop, single crochet and double crochet. Let's take a look at how they are done one by one.

The beginning of knitting. Air loop.

So, the hook and the ball of thread are in your hands. Where to start?) Any product begins with a chain of air loops. And it starts with the first air loop. We cross the thread with our fingers to make an ordinary loop and insert a hook into it, as shown in the figure.

We grab the thread with a crochet and stretch it into our ordinary loop.

Congratulations! You learned how to make the first loop, and that's half the battle!)

At first, my hands will not obey you, the fingers will be tense, but this is normal for all novice needlewomen. With each new approach, it will get better and better.

The second element is a single crochet.

As with any knitting technique, loops are added at the beginning of each row. When knitting a single crochet, one air loop of the increase is made. Therefore, the hook is inserted into the second air loop from the hook.

We introduce the hook, grab the thread and pull it into the loop.

Congratulations! You have mastered single crochet! Now the same must be done in the next loop and all the other loops of the air chain.

This is how a row of crocheted stitches looks like:

And this is how a sample connected with single crochets looks like:

And the third important element is the double crochet.

If the row starts with a double crochet, then you need to make four lifting loops. Because the double crochet is higher than the single crochet. To make a yarn over, just throw the thread over the crochet hook. And then insert the hook into the 4th free loop from the hook.

Thin fiber is the best material for creating an airy, beautiful lace fabric. There are many interesting models of clothing or items for interior decoration, which can be knitted from thin threads. Let's take a closer look at this issue.

In order to start the manufacturing process, you need to be well prepared. And for this you need to follow these steps.

Find the right model.
Select material and tool.
Take measurements and build a pattern.

Reference! If you are not a professional needlewoman, then be sure to make a pattern and knit a pattern swatch. This will not only avoid errors in the calculation of the canvas, but also help to avoid rework.

Which hook to choose

One of the most important points is choosing the right tool. It depends on the following factors:

the selected pattern;
thread thickness.

The second point is especially influential. To find out if a given size is suitable, you need to fold the thread in half and compare its volume with the volume of the hook head.

Most manufacturers also include preferred size information on the label..

Another option is sample matching. It is used when there are several types of yarn and you need to choose one that is most suitable for creating a pattern.

Patterns for fine threads

For fine threads it is advisable to choose delicate openwork patterns... The most suitable options for such patterns are as follows.

Flower canvas

Shells and fans

Ribbon lace

Sirloin knitting

Reference! In order to understand if the pattern you have chosen is suitable, knit a pattern. You can make several elements with different patterns and choose the most suitable one.

Knitting ideas from thin threads

There are many options for models knitted from a thin thread. And contrary to popular belief, it is possible to make from this material not only summer clothes, but also a winter version... It will depend on the seasonality of the material. For example, cotton is for summer, and thin mohair or angora is for smart winter clothing.

Openwork patterns for crocheting

Pattern scheme

Interesting pattern of crossed columns

A very interesting pattern of crossed groups of crochet posts.

Knitting is very simple: the first group of 3 CCHs is knitted through an arch from ce. the previous row, and the next group into the previous arch. It turns out very nice and unusual.

Colored knitting is very attractive, and how beautiful openwork patterns look in color with a highlighted pattern repeat vertically. I propose to consider a method of crocheting colored openwork patterns, similar to colored intarsia knitting. With this method, it is better to select patterns with a linear pattern repeat in order to highlight the vertical openwork pattern in color. Each color stripe is knitted from a separate ball of thread, therefore, dividing the pattern into several stripes, each needs its own skein of yarn. The knitting method itself is very simple and consists only in changing the color in knitting.

So, for knitting a color sample, the "spider" pattern was selected, for example, three patterns of the pattern are connected with different colors of yarn.

We collect a chain of air loops, in the first row, tie the first rapport with the same thread. Then, after finishing the rapport with a double crochet, attach a new thread. To do this, form a starting loop from the thread of a new color and pull it through the working loop on the hook, like an air loop. Mask the end of the attached thread, secure and cut. Continue knitting with the second rapport attached with thread. Next, also change the thread for the third pattern repeat.

In the second row, after finishing knitting the first rapport, after the air loop, knit a double crochet with a thread of medium color. To do this, remove the old thread, and make a yarn over the hook with a new thread,

then insert the hook into the loop, grabbing the new thread, pull the loop,

grabbing the thread again, knit all the loops to the crochet, grab the thread again with the crochet and knit all the loops on the hook.

Thus, the column is connected with a new thread, and the broach is almost invisible. If necessary, pull up the loop of the old thread and continue to knit the second rapport with the yellow thread.

In the third row, also do a color change when knitting the first double crochet of the next pattern repeat. To do this, remove the old thread, make a yarn over the crochet hook with a new thread. s / n, and knit the double crochet with a new thread.

When knitting, do not get confused, because each color strip has its own ball, so when you turn over the work, it is better to shift the balls sequentially.

Once you've finished knitting, secure each thread color.

The colored pineapple pattern looks very attractive with vertical wavy stripes.

And further...

Vortex Pattern

We present to your attention a charming crocheted napkin. It resembles a forest clearing, which is located at the edge of the forest. A large flower blossomed in the center of the napkin, and around it smaller flowers lined up in a circle. The napkin is knitted with two shades of yarn, which gives it beauty and tenderness.

To crochet a napkin from flowers, you will need the following materials: yarn of pink and white shades or any other that are combined with each other, a hook by the thickness of the yarn, scissors.

The approximate size of the finished napkin is 18 centimeters.

We start knitting a flower napkin from the center. It fits from the center in a circle. Next, we knit small flowers. When knitting each last row of a small flower, combine it with a large one. The napkin knitting pattern is shown in the figure below:

Remember to alternate the color of the yarn when knitting. A crocheted napkin with flowers should be starched before use. Good luck to you!

Do you still wash dishes with regular sponges (napkins)? Disorder, as a real knitter has to knit them. For example, these are shown in the figure above. Crocheted dishwashing napkins turn out to be colorful, cute, beautiful. They are knitted from microfiber yarn. It is very convenient and practical, since microfiber is easy to care for. Any dirt can be easily removed from it, as well as it does not wipe, does not peel, and is resistant to light and chemical effects.

Are you interested? Then let's get to work. Multi-colored yarn with microfiber, a crochet hook according to the thickness of the yarn, as well as scissors, that's what you need to knit napkins. All selected yarn must be of the same thickness and texture, otherwise the napkin will turn out to be curved.

Knitted dishwashing napkin has a flower shape. The figure below shows a knitting pattern for a napkin:

The napkin is knitted from the center in a circle. When knitting, do not forget to alternate the colors of the yarn so that it comes out multi-colored.

The first time, looking at such a crocheted napkin, I immediately had a desire to knit the same for myself. She is delicate, airy and very beautiful. The napkin is square. You can safely decorate a table, shelf or chest of drawers with such a napkin. Also, by imposing such napkins and connecting them together, you can get a wonderful tablecloth, or a curtain.

In order to crochet a square napkin, you will need the following materials: plain cotton yarn, a crochet hook in the thickness of the yarn, scissors. Although the napkin is square, it is knitted from the center in a circle. The following figure shows a knitting pattern for a napkin:

Pay attention to how the first row fits. You must first knit one st. s / 5n, then 2 tbsp. s / 2n in the third loop of st. s / 5n. Then 5 VP is knitted. We repeat this 8 times. In total, you will need to knit 19 rows in a circle.
