Most of the fair sex at least once in their life thought about creating something handmade. Perhaps it should be a scarf, a napkin or just flowers crocheted. However, there are not so many who managed to carry out their idea. The main problem for beginners is that they choose too complex or voluminous projects and, after working for two or three hours, get very tired and disappointed in crocheting.
Before starting work
If you approach the search for a model, judiciously evaluating your own strengths and skills, then after a few hours you can enjoy the first finished work. Experienced knitters recommend mastering one simple motif and using it to create a small shawl, scarf or just a brooch on a dress or bag. The best option in this case is a crocheted flower. The layout of each model will be different, but there are common points in them. Firstly, the novice craftswoman will be able to get used to her hook and choose the appropriate thread size. Secondly, having mastered a similar motive and simply replacing the yarn with a thicker one, you can create large models of rugs and tracks very quickly. To crochet flowers, it does not take a lot of time or thread, you just need to choose the right pattern and have patience for the first twenty most difficult loops.
What kind of knit plant?
The most common models are red and pink poppies, delicate daisies and exotic Hawaiian plants. The latter option has already captured its niche not only in amateur knitting - many professional designers use crocheted colorful flowers to create their exclusive brooches, necklaces and hats for movie stars and glamorous bohemians.
If you want to create a variegated cape, a delicate napkin made of thin threads or a brooch that is called out, to calculate the total working time it is worth linking one motive first. Then you can simply multiply the minutes or hours obtained by the total number of elements. To crochet Hawaiian flowers, you need to choose two or three contrasting tones of a suitable yarn. It is better if the threads are not shaggy, otherwise all the beauty of the sharpness of the lines may be lost. The hook is selected according to the thickness of the yarn.
