Do you want to decorate your house somehow original? Knitted napkins can come to the rescue. Making them yourself is a snap. The main thing is to master a few basic elements and find schemes that will please and fit.
Needlework was in fashion before when it was difficult to get beautiful finished products, however, even now hand-made jewelry can amaze guests, because they are absolutely unique! Crocheted napkins, patterns for which are abundantly presented on the net and can even be invented independently, will definitely decorate your home and give it comfort.
No special training is required to learn how to make knitted napkins. Of course, it is better to learn from an experienced person who knows how to knit well, but this skill can be mastered independently, and without any financial costs.
The first thing to do is choose the right yarn and hook. They should be the same thickness, for napkins, it is better to take threads not too thick and fluffy, but durable. Cotton yarn of type "Iris" is well suited.
The second thing to do is learn to read knitting patterns.
At first, this can frighten, but in fact, a small transcript is attached to each scheme with an explanation of how to knit the first few rows. An important note - as a rule, knitting starts from the center of the product and then goes in a circle. Having understood the principle by which knitting patterns are made, you can
will read any of them.
The third step is to master the basic elements: air loops, double and double crochets , pique, broaches and loop closure. Do not be scared - a little practice, and all these names will no longer be bewildering - the hands themselves will do all the work.
The main element of crocheting, an air loop is the first thing to learn, and what you can’t forget, even without touching the hook for years. Without air loops, it's almost impossible to start knitting. The second most frequent element is a column. Columns are found without crochets, as well as with double crochets, both ordinary and double and triple. After some practice, the columns will come out straight and neat. Yet
there are half columns and other not so often used elements. Therefore, it is necessary to read a certain course for beginners, naturally, with a hook in hand, and also for the first time to take small and simple schemes,
to fill your hand. Everything will surely work out!
Most often round, but you can find square and other unusual forms of knitted napkins. They can also be knitted with needles, but patterns for knitting needles are very difficult to find because of their unpopularity. Therefore, even those who have never had to pick up a hook, most likely will have to get to know him.
Knitting is a very meditative and unhurried process that allows you to think about your own, relax. And the “by-product” at the same time is beautiful knitted napkins of various shapes and modifications. In addition to light, you can use multi-colored threads, this will only give the product originality!
Knitted napkins, it would seem, are already a thing of the past and may seem like a kind of anachronism, but you should not refuse such original jewelry, because a considerable part of their value lies in the fact that they are made with your own hands.
