The number of crochet fans is growing with eachyear And no wonder! Indeed, in a very short time, with the help of such a seemingly simple tool, you can create a lot of beautiful and original products.
Information on this topic abound.A variety of articles and mini-courses that describe crochet in the smallest detail, with outlines and useful tips for beginners are posted in various knitting magazines. To master this craft is not difficult.
How to start and how to finish?
Crochet always start with a chainair loops. At the free end of the thread form a loop. Then a hook is threaded into it, a thread is put over it, it is grabbed and pulled back. We got a small chain of two air loops. All subsequent forms are the same. The basis of knitting is ready. Next, you should continue to knit according to the pattern.
Practically does not require an explanation answer to the questionabout how to finish. Crocheting favorably with knitting needles in that at any moment of the process only one loop remains free. This allows you not to stray and not lose the loop, even for beginners. To close the loop, you need to cut the thread coming from the ball, pull it out completely through the last loop and tighten it. The remaining "tail" should be carefully hidden. That's all the details on how to finish.
Crochet - Bollards
The basis of the fabric when crocheting is a column. It can be knitted in three basic versions: without nakida, with nakida and semi-column.
Column without nakida.We leave two air lifting loops, insert the hook into the third (from front to back), grab them with a free thread and pull them through the loops. On the hook formed two loops. In one motion, we pull a free thread through them. The bar is ready.
Polubic. As in the previous version, we leave two lifting loops. But now we seize the free thread and stretch it through all the available loops at once.
Столбик с накидом.This view is used to increase the height of the series. We leave three lifting loops (since the post is taller), we thread the thread onto the hook, insert it into the fourth loop, grab the free thread and pull it through the two outer loops on the hook. Repeat the operation several times.
Column one, different ways
Using only these three basic elements, but tying them in different ways, you can get many different patterns
The posts are tied behind the back half-loop of the previous row, and the canvas is obtained in bulk, with convex and concave rows.
If you knit the posts at the front loop, the fabric remains smooth, with flat horizontal stripes.
You can also tie up the posts for the purl loops: enter the hook by the horizontal jumper, located slightly below the top of the previous row. With this method, a pigtail is formed on the inside.
In addition to these methods, you can bindcolumns opposite, from the lower rows, on air loops. Determining the most appropriate option is quite difficult, especially for those who have just started to learn crochet. Schemes and descriptions will always tell in detail all the nuances of manufacturing a particular product.
What can crochet?
The answer is simple: everything can be connected.First of all, with the help of a hook, women's, men's and children's clothes are knitted, as well as various decorative parts and accessories for them. For example, just recently forgotten "grandmothers" lace collars returned to fashion. And you can also make cuffs, patch flat and bulk flowers.
Interior items decorated with manualcrochet, not long uncommon. It can be blankets, pillows, openwork tablecloths and napkins, even curtains and carpets. And using the hook with skillful hands, you can create cute amigurumi toys.
The process of creating products using the hookextraordinarily fascinating. It is very difficult to stop. Therefore, there is an expression “to knit avidly”, that is, to do it everywhere: in transport, in minute pauses during cooking in the kitchen, at work at lunchtime, etc. For many skilled workers the question of how to finish crocheting is altogether does not apply to the end of the series - they ask how they should stop and get some rest.
