How to learn to crochet openwork patterns? This will require a little free time, imagination and special accessories for knitting.
So, to start crocheting delicate patterns, you need to know the basic types of loops.
To start, let's learn the basics of knitting.
The first one. Slipknot. From the end of the thread measure 15 cm, in the right hand take the thread that goes to the ball. With your left hand you need to stretch the end of the thread over the thread that is connected with the ball. Now in the loop formed, insert the hook and pull the thread to the end. The result was a bundle.
The second one. Knitting a chain. With the hook on which the sliding knot is located, hook the thread that comes from the ball and, without tightening it, pull it out of the loop. Continue making loops to the desired amount.
The third. Half crochet. When you knit a chain of ordinary loops, count the second loop from the hook, then insert the hook into the top of the loop. Now try to grab the thread with a hook and stretch through those loops that remained on the hook. Continuing to repeat, finish the row.
Fourth. Half crochet. Count three loops (from the hook) and put the third on the hook. Make a double crochet, stretching it through the very 1st loop. A yarn with a thread drawn through the loops that remained. At the end, dial two loops, turn the work over and start knitting with the 2nd loop.
Fifth.
Double crochet. When you have already made a row of loops, put the thread on the hook and enter the 4th loop, hook the thread again, knit through 2 loops. You need to repeat the yarn and stretch it through all the remaining loops. At the end, dial two VP (air loops) and start the second row with the 2nd loop.
Sixth. Single crochet. A number of simple loops you have already made. In the second loop, enter the hook, make one crochet, pulling the thread through the loop. Again, a crochet that needs to be stretched already through the 2nd loops. Continue to the end of the row. The second row should be started as follows: 1 VP and the hook must be threaded into 1 single crochet (v - shaped thread).
We have already studied the basic loops, now we will learn how to make delicate crochet patterns.
Crochet. Openwork patterns: shell, bump and a lush column.
Shell. Suppose you have already linked the base series. Now make several half-columns with a crochet in the same loop (the number of columns must be odd), you get a shell or a fan-shaped pattern. Skip a few, draw as many air loops as you missed, and repeat the pattern. A multiple amount is needed so that in the next row that you will begin to knit, the pattern can be made in the center of the previous shell.
Bump. The same base row. Knit several regular stitches in the same stitch. Now, to get a pattern, you need to thread the working thread through all the loops that turned out. Knit a few base loops and repeat the pattern.
Lush column. Knits in the same way as a bump, but differs in the number of loops and the type of knitting (half-crocheted with a crochet or other types of loops).
Here you can make crochet patterns, lace patterns will diversify your wardrobe and image.
Other crocheted lace patterns can be found in special books for needlewomen and on needlework sites.
