Many knitters, gaining experience and trying their hand at creating simple products, over time show a desire to take on a more difficult task. In the world of needlework, the most difficult to perform are paintings made up of separately connected fragments. All the skills and abilities of the craftswoman are needed here. Indeed, such knitting and crocheting (with or without a pattern) is significantly different from the traditional manufacture of a flat cloth.
Types of typesetting cloths
Products connected from many ornaments for various motives look very attractive and spectacular. It is not surprising that there are quite a few techniques that make and knit knitted elements. Among the most common are:
- Irish lace (motifs on the grid).
- Comparison of geometrically correct motives of the same shape.
- Romanian lace lace (the cords are crocheted, and the joints and lace are made using a needle).
- Canvas made of lace ribbons.
For the manufacture of products, one of these methods can be used, their combination or a combination of these techniques with a continuous canvas.
Ribbon lace patterns: crocheting is easy!
Drawing up an openwork canvas from ribbons is much simpler than stitching hundreds of small flowers. But here, not everything is as simple as it might seem at first glance. Ribbon lace consists of several identical elements, sequentially connected without tearing off the thread and arranged in a certain order. As a rule, crochet patterns of ribbon lace begin with one whole fragment, and all other elements look like its halves. For example, those shown in the diagrams below. This is a half flower pattern.
This lace looks harmonious. It can decorate any outfit: the hem of a dress or collar of a blouse. For its knitting, threads of various colors are used. As for the circuit, it looks like the one shown in the photo below.
Another version of the scheme of ribbon lace (crochet). The product will complement your look, making it brighter and more original. Moreover, for its manufacture does not require a lot of time and resources. The result is very beautiful and elegant.
From these tapes you can collect a variety of products:
- Dresses.
- Skirts.
- Blouses
- Bags.
Also, they are often used as decorative elements. They decorate products connected by simple solid or openwork patterns. Or even sew on clothes made of textiles. In addition, patterns and patterns of ribbon lace are great for creating various items of interior decor:
- Tablecloths.
- Napkins.
- Bedspread.

These products can consist entirely of openwork ribbons or just be decorated with their help.
The secrets of knitting ribbon lace
You should know that it is undesirable to try to connect openwork ribbons from fragments during knitting. Although many magazines offer just such a way of matching elements, it almost never pays off. Often, a connection error is detected when a large number of semicircular motifs are already connected, and they all have to be dissolved.
In addition, it is much more convenient to lay out the finished stripes on the pattern and plan their location than to get a canvas of tapes that is not suitable in size or configuration. An important feature that the patterns of ribbon lace crocheted are their asymmetry. It is better to combine elements into the whole canvas in pairs. Each pair should include tapes that mirror each other. If all fragments are directed in one direction, it will not be possible to avoid a skew of the canvas.
The easiest ribbon lace
The patterns shown in the diagrams below can be attributed to the form of ribbon lace, although they can also be called a border.
Knitting such ribbons is a fairly simple job. Their application is the same as that of traditional ribbon lace: both for decorating products, and for the manufacture of typesetting. Such patterns have a sharper geometric shape, which greatly facilitates their connection. Such schemes are indispensable when you intend to make a knitted belt, an openwork handle for a bag, or an ornament for the lower part of some fabric.
Ribbon lace combined with Irish technique
Almost any lace (crochet) looks amazing . Patterns of tape, Irish, Romanian and other types are significantly different. They can have a combined composition and include various elements. For example, Irish lace consists of a large number of floral or abstract motifs interconnected by a grid.
Often, the craftswomen prefer to simplify the task for themselves a little and place one or more lace ribbons between the flowers.
