Voluminous knitted flowers
Almost any flower can be connected. Having yarn in several shades and textures, you can create delicious knitted flowers with knitting needles. Even an inexperienced knitter can handle the process description.
Anemone is a beautiful delicate flower. The above photo shows a bunch of knitted anemones. Individual colors can decorate a pullover, hairpin, scarf.
There are 5 petals in a flower, each of which consists of 12 rows. All rows are knitted with facial loops, the yarn is knitted with a crossed loop so that holes do not form. To begin with, 7 loops, including hem, are typed on the knitting needles. The beginning of each front row is 2 loops and a crochet. After the double crochet, 3 loops are knitted in the first front row, in the subsequent front plus one loop, until the number of loops after the crochet is 8.
In the back row of the petal, close 6 loops, and on the remaining 5 (plus 2 hem) start the next petal. At the end of knitting, pull the middle of the flower onto a thread, decorate the center with a bead or three-dimensional embroidery. Variations of this knitting pattern:
- tie more of the same petals;
- having connected 5 petals according to the description, gradually reduce the number of rows in the report: you get a volumetric flower, the lower petals of which are larger and the middle ones are smaller (the middle of such a flower needs to be laid in a spiral, and not just tightened).
Knitted rose
Rose is one of the most beloved colors for embodiment in knitting. There are a lot of ways to make it, below are two of them, the simplest.
- On knitting needles, dial 100-150 loops, knit 8-12 rows with the front stitch, remove the loops from the knitting needle with a needle and pull it slightly.
- From a knitted ribbon to form a flower, starting from the middle of the bud.
- Grab the outer edge of the tape with a few stitches to fix the position of the “petals”.
- Dial 10-15 loops and knit 8 rows with the front stitch, in the 9th row remove the edge loop, 3 front together, stretch the loop from the cut loops through the edge - a total of 4 loops were reduced.
- Tie the row to the end, knit the wrong one, and in the next front from the first loop on the knit, knit 4 facial loops.
- Knit another 8 rows with the front stitch and close the loops. This turned out to be one petal.
- Without tearing the threads, dial another 10-15 loops and tie the next petal.
The more petals to make, the larger the bud will be.
Knitted Chrysanthemums
The simplest knitting flowers for beginners are chrysanthemums. On knitting needles dial 20-25 loops, knit one row with facial loops, and in the next close all the loops except one. This is the first petal. For the next one, with the remaining loop, dial the air loops one less than for the first petal. The loops can be closed immediately or knit two more rows with the front surface, if you want to get a wider petal.
The main condition is to close the loop of the petal, returning to its beginning. Such petals need to be connected 10-12 pieces. For the following petals, gradually reduce the number of loops. In total, for a beautiful chrysanthemum, you will need to tie about 50 petals. It should be a Christmas tree ribbon. You need to start decorating a knitted flower by pulling the longest petals with a thread, gradually moving to short ones.
Leaves and Stems
To make the knitted flower with knitting needles look more realistic, you can tie the stem and leaves to it. The stem is knitted with a hollow cord: put 3 loops on the knitting needle, knit with facial loops and transfer them back to the left knitting needle. Repeat this operation until the required stem length is obtained.
For the leaf, dial 3 loops, tie the stem with a hollow cord. Edge loops are knitted in each row according to the pattern - it can be a garter stitch or facial smoothness. Nakida for expansion are made in each front row to the left and right of the central loop in the leaf.
So knit to the desired width of the sheet, then knit several rows without changes and begin to cut the loops, knitting two loops together at the beginning and end of the front rows or on the side of the central loop. When three loops remain on the spoke, knit them together. Having studied the principle of knitting the simplest sheet, in the future you can create leaves with a more complex structure: with a serrated edge, with a pronounced vein in the center.
Knitting floral patterns
Another way to decorate a knitted sweater with flowers is to choose the appropriate openwork pattern, embroider a motif or knit it.
Embroidery on a knitted fabric is done using the cross stitch technique or a buttonhole stitch (buttonhole).
To knit a floral motif with knitting need a suitable pattern for cross stitch and yarn of different colors. An important point - the threads should be the same thickness with the main thread from which the sweater is connected.
The pattern diagram is read in this way: front rows from right to left, wrong rows from left to right. This, of course, is a very painstaking work that requires utmost attention, but the result can be no worse than Dolce & Gabbana.
