Patterns of oval napkins, crocheted , are much less common than round or square elements. This is largely due to the fact that oval napkins are much more difficult to knit than everyone else. A circle, square, or rhombus is a geometric shape that has a central point. Knitting starts from it and all rows expand evenly, that is, an increase in the number of loops occurs in each rapport (there may be 4, 5, 6, 12 or more). In the situation with oval elements, the situation is a bit more complicated: here there is not a point, but an axis of symmetry. Therefore, all schemes of oval napkins crocheted, are very individual. The expansion is performed either along the edges of the product, or is unevenly distributed in rows.
Openwork oval napkin
The oval napkin shown in the photograph is designed on the basis of a round element.
Similar patterns of oval napkins, crocheted, can be conditionally divided into such components:
- Two semicircular sections located at the edges.
- Flat part connecting semicircular fragments.
- General strapping.
Oval napkin (crochet) with patterns
At the heart of this model is a chain of air loops (VP). The work is carried out in circular rows. Along the chain will be connected a flat part of the napkin, and from two ends - its semicircular sections. The expansion of the fabric is performed only when knitting semicircular sections, a flat part contains simple straight rows.
Abbreviations:
- Double crochet (CCH).
- Single crochet (RLS).
- Column with two crochets (C2H).
Crocheted oval napkin (see the diagrams and description below) begins to knit with a set of VP. Their number can be calculated: (36 cells x 3 loops) + 3 VP for lifting = 111 VP.
Knitting napkins in circular rows
0 p: CCH, 2 VP. Repeat 36 times. It turns out 36 cells.
1 p: 2 double crochet columns under the VP of one cell, 3 VP, 2 double crochet columns in the same box, RLS in the next box. The visually obtained element resembles a bush. Repeat 18 times. The next three bushes knit in the end cell, between them should not perform RLS. Then again perform 18 “bushes” in the cells, then repeat knitting three “bushes” in the end cell.
2 r: in each "bush" to perform "openwork element": CCH, 3 VP, CCH, 3 VP, CCH. Repeat 19 times. Knitting a semicircle: CCH, 3 VP, CCH (between the "bushes"), CCH, 3 VP, CCH, CCH, 3 VP, CCH (between the "bushes"). Repeat knitting "openwork element" 20 times. Repeat the design of the semicircular part. Run one "openwork element".
3 r: 5 VP, CCH at the top of the "openwork element". Repeat as many times as necessary.
4 p: in each cell of the previous row, execute 5 double crochet, 1 double crochet. In two central cells at the tops of the semicircles, perform 6 CCH, 2 CCH, 6 CCH.
5 p: 2 VP, double crochet. Repeat until the end of the row.
6 r: in each cell, tie a "bush".
7 p: over each “bush”, tie a “openwork element”, repeat 24 times to knit one side of a flat part. Each semicircular part is made as follows: 2 "openwork element No. 2" (double crochet, 3 VP, double crochet, 3 VP, double crochet), "openwork element", 2 "openwork element No. 2".
8 p: repeat the 5th row.
9 p: repeat the 6th row.
10 r: over each "bush" to connect the "openwork element", repeat 24 times. The semicircular part: 2 "openwork element No. 2", "openwork element", "openwork element No. 2", "openwork element", "openwork element No. 2", "openwork element", 2 "openwork element No. 2".
11 p: double crochet, 3 VP, double crochet, 4 VP. Repeat as many times as needed.
12 p: 5 VP, 4 C2H, 5 VP, With BN. Repeat until the end of the row.
13 r: 5 VP, 2 CCH with a common tip, 5 VP, RLS.
14 p: 5 VP, pico from 3 VP, 5 VP, 2 PRS.
Openwork napkin with a fan pattern
There are patterns of oval napkins crocheted, which are developed on the basis of square motifs.
This is very convenient, since you can symmetrically distribute openwork elements.
The desired shape is achieved by uneven expansion. A great example is an oval napkin (crochet) with patterns, which is shown in the following photo.
Such a napkin is knitted in a circle, and additional additions are performed after all the main rows are ready.
