The needlewomen have an undeniable plus - they can at any time independently make for themselves and their family the missing accessory. For example, this season's hit are mittens with owls. If you still don’t have such a cute model, then it's time to pick up the knitting needles.
Cope with the manufacture of this little thing can beginner needlewomen who have not reached any extraordinary skill.
Many beginner needlewomen are afraid to take up the manufacture of products with drawings. But don’t worry, it’s only at first glance it’s hard to knit. In fact, the scheme is simple, and a novice craftswoman can handle it. In addition, making mittens with owls takes a minimum of time. And believe me, it will bring you only positive emotions.
Knitting density
First of all, you need to knit a small sample of 10 x 10 or 10 x 5 cm in size. It will take a little time, but you will be sure that the size will definitely fit, and you will not have to bandage the product. After all, mittens are an accessory that must fit exactly in size. It is only in a sweater that such an error is not so obvious. Therefore, the mittens with an owl must exactly match the size of the fashionista’s hand.
Before you start knitting mittens, you need to calculate how many loops will be 1 cm from the sample. If there are 19 loops in 10 cm of the sample, then 1.9 cm in 1 cm.
Yarn and necessary tools
Particular attention should be paid to the choice of yarn. It is better to give preference to threads, the composition of which will contain a large percentage of natural wool. But it should be remembered that mittens with an owl should be comfortable and warm for female hands. After all, if you do not take care of your pens, their skin may age prematurely.
Do you want such a chic little thing to appear in your wardrobe? Then, rather, take yarn and knitting needles in your hands! On average, to make mittens-owls with needles, you need 150 g of yarn. Also prepare the required size knitting needles, an extra knitting needle, a needle for yarn, and beads for the eyes.
Right mitt
We determine the volume of the wrist, calculate with the help of a sample the required number of loops and type them on the knitting needles. Let's say you need to dial 33 loops on the knitting needles. Since the mittens are knitted in a circle, the last loop must be used to close the work in a circle. Be sure to mark the beginning of a new row with a marker. Now you can start knitting gum 1 x 1, or 2 x 2. Experienced needlewomen advise knitting an elastic band on knitting needles, which is 1 size smaller than those that will be used to knit the main fabric. For example, an elastic band at number 3.5 mm, and a mittens pattern at number 4.0 mm.
It is recommended to knit with elastic band 10 rows. If you want it to be higher, knit a pattern to the desired size. Now you need to start working with larger knitting needles. You can also increase the length of the elastic, so the mittens will be slightly higher. To do this, you just need to increase the number of rows knitted with a 1 x 1 pattern. Having reached the required length, proceed to knitting with a larger number. At the same time, every 4 loops it is necessary to make an increase: knit two from one loop. Thus, 40 loops should be on the knitting needles.
Pattern execution
We knit 6 rows of facial loops.
In the 19th row, you can begin to form a pattern. The pattern is better to knit on the third and fourth knitting needles. The remaining loops must be tied with the front stitch.
The pattern itself is tied clearly according to the pattern. Needlewomen recommend separating the pattern with 1-2 seam loops from the front surface.
The scheme is quite simple. The main thing is to carefully monitor the sequence of loops. Particular attention should be paid to the 2nd, 10th and 14th row according to this scheme.
Do not forget to leave a thumb hole on the first or second spoke. All loops must be removed on a thread or pin. When knitting the next row, these loops must be dialed again. Thus, we get a hole for the thumb.
2 row of a pattern: 2 loops we remove on an auxiliary loop, we leave at work. We knit 4 front loops. We remove the next 2 loops to the auxiliary loop and leave them before work. We knit facial.
10 and 14 we knit a row in the same way.
There are other patterns of the owl pattern. They are a little thicker, and the body is tied not with facial smoothness, but with a “rice” pattern. But the principle of knitting remains the same.
Loop reduction
If the main canvas after knitting the pattern has reached the level of the little finger, you can begin to reduce the loops already from the 39th row. If the height of the product is unsatisfactory, you can knit the required number of rows with facial loops.
Decrease should occur evenly. To do this, it is necessary to knit the first 2 stitches together on the first knit together, make sure that the tilt is done to the right, on the second knit, reduce the last 2 stitches with a tilt to the left. We knit the third and fourth knitting needles in the same way. Decreases are made in each row. They form a clear line of product width. We continue to make reductions until the total number of loops is equal to 8. A working thread is pulled through them. You can use a hook or a needle. We hide the thread and fix it from the wrong side.
Finish the finger
We return to the formed hole, knit the thumb. To do this, transfer all the loops from the pin to the spoke. From the opposite typesetting edge, we collect 6 loops and 1 on each side. In a circle we knit 12 rows. After the loop we distribute into 2 knitting needles and begin to make decreases. On each spoke, we loosen the loops in the same way as on the mitten: from the beginning of the row with a slope to the right, at the end - to the left. As soon as 8 loops remain on the knitting needles, they must be pulled together and hidden on the wrong side of the thread.
The mittens is ready.
Left mitt
The description of the owl mittens with knitting needles is very simple. According to the same principle, the left mitt should be performed. At the same time, make sure that the hole for the thumb is symmetrical.
Product Decor
To complete the product, you should sew eyes to the owl. To do this, you can use beads, rhinestones, buttons on the leg, faceted beads. Each needlewoman chooses a more acceptable option, because everyone has different tastes. You can also cut circles from felt of the required diameter, and sew beads inside. In a word, you can decorate mittens with an owl for every taste. The main thing is to include your imagination in the work.
Conclusion
Description of mittens with owls will help everyone quickly and easily cope with the task. Difficulty can occur when located in the center of the pattern, if you make a larger product. If you want to increase this pattern for the manufacture of a hat, scarf or sweater, you need to know that it is based on the harness diagram. Needlewomen recommend first increasing the pattern, drawing its pattern and knitting a pattern. If everything suits you, you can safely use the prepared scheme. If not, it is enough to correct the scheme, figuring how many rows and loops you need to retreat from all sides.
