Crocheting an oval is easy

A hook is a universal and extremely convenient tool for creating unique hand-made things. It is with a hook that you can easily knit not only even rectangular canvases, but also oval, round and any fancy shapes. With knitting needles, by the way, it will be much more difficult to do this. The hook allows you to realize the wildest ideas of the master! And in this article we will tell you how to learn how to crochet an oval.

Basic rules for motive

For knitting a test sample, prepare any yarn, you can leftovers, as well as a suitable size hook. They begin to knit any oval with a crochet, creating a chain of air loops. Its length can vary greatly depending on the tasks that the master sets for himself.

After performing the required number of air loops, they are circularly strapped. For this, different elements are used - a half-column, a single crochet, a single or multiple crochet. To create an openwork oval - the basis of a decorative napkin or tablecloth - arches from air loops, lush and tall columns are perfectly suitable.

In general, it does not matter which element is used. The rule of knitting is one - when creating an oval, it is mandatory to make increments at the ends of the original chain. And the next rows are knitted by analogy with the first, closing them with connecting posts. At the same time, constant increases are made until the product reaches the desired dimensions.

Crochet pattern: oval

Consider how to make a smooth and dense oval. It will easily serve as the basis for cute baby booties, boots or slippers :

1. For work, take a dense yarn (250 m per 100 g) and hook number 4.
2. Perform the initial loop, and then 12 airs.
3. The last three will be lifting. We skip them and knit the first double crochet (C1H) in the fourth loop of the base.
4. Next, we perform another 8 columns - one in each air loop of the chain.
5. Now we make an increase: we knit another 6 1 in the last loop. Total in it will turn out 7 columns.
6. We turn the pattern and continue knitting in the opposite direction.
7. We carry out 8 columns - one in each loop. We knit 4 1 for an increase. We complete the first row with a connecting loop.

Here's a crocheted oval with crochet posts.

By analogy with the first, we knit the next four rows, performing at the beginning of the lifting loop, and in the right places - increases, and we end with the connecting loop.

Another simple pattern: crocheted oval crochet

Often for the manufacture of toys and amigurumi dolls, parts of various shapes are required, including ovals. They are knitted with crochet columns, due to which the highest density, strength and beauty of the canvas are achieved. Such an oval, crocheted, will keep its shape perfectly.

Let's try to knit a sample. To work, you need a thin cotton thread and a hook number 2.5. We will work according to the scheme shown in the photo:

• Perform six air loops.
• We’ll leave one for lifting. Starting from the second loop of the chain, we knit six single crochet (RN).
• Next, we perform an increase - two sc in the last loop of the base.
• Turn knitting. Let's make four more single crochet, each in its own air loop.
• We knit the fifth RLS into the second working loop, forming a rounding of the oval.
• We complete the row with a connecting loop.
• The second and third rows will be executed, guided by the scheme.

Done!

Spiral Oval Knitting

Consider another simple way to make an oval - the so-called continuous knitting in a spiral. With this method of work, at first they do not make lifting loops, and the columns for the previous ones serve as the basis for subsequent rows.

Knitting goes from right to left - in one direction (for left-handed people - vice versa). The canvas is smooth, without a visible transition between the rows. In this way, brightly colored rugs are most often made:

• To make an oval crochet with crochet columns in a spiral, prepare yarn and a hook.
• First, make a chain of air loops of the required length, and then tie it with single crochet or single crochet columns.
• Do not forget to make the right amount of increase to form a beautiful shape of the product.
• Knit in one "endless" row until you reach the required dimensions of the fabric.

The spiral knitting method is simple and allows even beginner knitters to complete original decor items.
