Wanting to create additional comfort in the house, many needlewomen are taken for knitting napkins. Of course, everyone wants to immediately weave a large openwork napkin, but the lack of knitting experience and practice affects. The first models often come out not too successful.
To fill your hand, it is better to find small, not too complex patterns.
Crocheting napkins for beginners involves creating small, neat items. To begin with, it is enough to choose a napkin to which not only the scheme is attached, but also a detailed description of the process.
Crochet napkins is made of thin cotton threads: only in this case can you get a lacy, as if airy, product. The hook should match the threads: the ideal hooks for openwork napkins are numbers 0.5 and 1 when using thin cotton threads.
If you want to knit a dense napkin to use it as a stand, then it is better to choose a thicker yarn for knitting, the hook number should correspond to the number indicated on the yarn label.
Crocheting the most popular round napkins starts from the center: first, a chain is made up of air loops that connects to a ring. To tie each of the subsequent rows, you need to dial a chain of lifting, consisting of 2 or 3 air loops. In order to get a beautiful napkin, just like in the picture, you need to follow the instructions exactly, not forgetting that crochet napkin knitting patterns are the main source of information for both beginners and experienced knitters. But if it is easy for a knitting professional to navigate in the legend, then it is better for a beginner to remember what each symbol means. Crocheting napkins in this case will go much faster.
If you decide to start acquaintance with a crochet precisely with knitting napkins, then it is better not to rush and practice knitting different loops: double and strong stitches, single crochet and double crochet stitches, double or even triple crochets.
For the first experiments, you can choose a square or rectangular napkin that fits in rows. So, a fairly popular version of the napkin is the fillet grid. Knitting it is quite simple: dial a series of air loops (its length depends on the desired length of the product), then knit 3 loops for lifting. Having entered the hook into the 3 loop, not counting the one that is already on the hook, knit a pattern, alternating empty and knitted cells. To create an empty cell, you need to knit a single crochet, followed by 2 air loops. For a filled cell, 3 double crochets are knitted in a row. At the start of each new row, be sure to make 3 air lift loops. This way you will knit a checkered napkin.
If you enjoy crocheting napkins this way, then you can create original patterns. Having drawn the ornament or figure that interests you, knit in such a way that the pattern itself is knitted with filled cells and is surrounded by empty cells. So you can even make thematic napkins and use them as a gift: an anchor for a sailor, a violin for a music teacher, scales for a seller.
If you still want to learn how to crochet napkins, starting right away with round openwork patterns, then you need to be prepared for the fact that at first it will be quite difficult to navigate, but over time you can even develop custom patterns for napkins, creating unique options.
