On a cool summer evening, I really want to throw something on my shoulders. Shawl is best suited for this role. She will let warm. At the same time, you won’t be as hot as it would be if you had a warm jacket on instead of you . If your wardrobe does not yet have such a product, then it's time to learn how to crochet a shawl. Moreover, there is nothing complicated in this, provided that you have hook handling skills.
You need to start with the acquisition of yarn. Experienced craftswomen advise you not to buy threads for the manufacture of shawls, which contain a large percentage of synthetic fibers. If you neglect this advice, then the finished product will not keep its shape well, and this will not affect its appearance in the best way. It is best to purchase threads in which there will be no more than 40% synthetic fibers. The remaining interest should be on natural components. These include wool, cotton and linen. In this case, crocheting a shawl will be easy enough, since the thread will not slip. The finished thing can be worn for a long time, without fear that it will suddenly change its size. At the same time, woolen threads are perfect for winter, and cotton - for summer.
After acquiring yarn, you need to choose a pattern. Since you still have not enough experience in the manufacture of such products, openwork shawl crocheted in the technique of Irish lace, let it wait a bit. You better choose a simple scheme that will allow the product to form directly in the manufacturing process. As a rule, in this case, work starts from the bottom, from the extreme point, and the product is formed in the process of knitting the pattern by adding half-rapport on the sides.
Finding a circuit is not so difficult. It is enough to purchase a specialized magazine or visit a thematic forum. In the first, a diagram will be printed and a photo will be given, allowing you to evaluate the final result. At the second, it will be possible to consult with other needlewomen on the creation of the model you like, as well as see several possible implementation options. True, only if someone else decided to crochet a shawl according to the same pattern. Such lively communication will allow you to draw ideas for your creativity. Indeed, many, having created another masterpiece, are in a hurry to share the result of their work, laying out the final photo on thematic forms.
When chatting on the forum, you can start crocheting a shawl, even if before that you only made very simple things. Cheering friends and competent consultation will help to cope with the most difficult pattern, understand the sequence of knitting the pattern and the order of adding loops.
After the first product is completely finished, you may decide to crochet the shawl in a more complex pattern. Moreover, many needlewomen note that it is impossible not to fall in love with such products. Many, having connected one thing, subsequently make a whole collection that differs not only in the color of the yarn, but also in the technique of manufacturing the product.
