Knitting a plaid with knitting needles. Different ways and techniques
1.From monophonic yarn knit whole fabric with any embossed or openwork pattern. Pattern is better to choose a complex, with nakidami, forming openwork weave, or with fantasy braids. Plaid in the style of patchwork can also be linked from a single-colored yarn, if you divide the canvas into identical squares, made with different patterns: dense, openwork, relief.
The work uses thick knitting needles and medium yarnthickness. The number of spokes and the thickness of the yarn is better to choose such that knitting turns out to be soft, light, dense enough, but not too much. The main difficulty in tying the whole canvas is that knitting it even on spokes with a fishing line is not very convenient because of the large size. The finished rug is edged around the perimeter with a knitted border, decorated with brushes or frills. If it is prudent to tie a narrow string with a string during work on the edge (the front and back rows perform only facial loops), then no additional edging is required. Tip: Be sure to first attach a small report of the pattern, which will help to calculate the required number of loops for the set, as well as correctly determine the desired thickness of the spokes and evaluate the beauty of the chosen pattern.

In the center of a separate element, colored ornaments are tied, or instead of ornaments, embroidery is used, knitted motifs are combined with inserts from the fabric.

The sizes of a children's blanket - approximately, meter on meter. Knitting patterns can also be the most varied, from individual motifs or a single canvas. As a rule, children's rugs are decorated with a bright knitted applique or embroidery. Very nice looks trim of a narrow satin ribbon, which is inserted either along the entire canvas, for this purpose, removing holes from nakidov in the form of diagonal or longitudinal strips, or only at the edge of the rug, decorating them with a rim. Ribbons are pulled into the holes left for this and tied with bows at the corners.
