Since I study at the institute, and sometimes I go to classes for the whole day, in such cases I always take a thermos with me. And there's green tea in a thermos. Of course, the institute has a canteen where you can buy tea, too. But he's in the bags!

I used to always carry my thermos in my bag, along with my notebooks and a sandwich. And now, when I sewed myself a bag from old jeans (you can read about it here http://prettyhandmade.ru/?p=36), I felt sorry for putting everything in it, including a thermos. I kept thinking how to make it so that I can wear it on the same shoulder, but separately. And I came up with!

I decided to crochet a thermos case. I have never seen anything like this before, and I didn’t even think to look at what is on this topic on the net. I just took it out of the closet. wool yarn and immediately got to work.

The volume of my thermos is 0.5 liters. For the cover, I took about 130 grams of one hundred percent sheep wool, thread thickness - 50 g per 50 m, and crocheted number 3.

Do you want more details? Well, sit back, let's get started.

So, master class. We knit a cover for a thermos crochet

Step 1. First, we knit the bottom for the cover.

To do this, we knit a chain of four to five air loops and close it into a ring. Then we knit a row of single crochets into this ring. And we continue to knit single crochets in a spiral, making additions one single crochet after about one. Here I don't stick strict rules in addition, I just watch that the circle remains flat, that is, does not bend into the shape of a cup and does not become wavy around the edge.

Step 2. As soon as the bottom for the thermos is connected, and in size it has already become a little larger than the bottom of the thermos itself, we stop adding. Due to this, our knitting will take the form of a cylinder - which is what we need. We knit 2-3 centimeters of the cylinder, still with single crochets, so that the bottom is as dense as possible, not loose.

Step 3. Now you can relax and knit with single crochets.

We continue to knit the same cylinder until we knit approximately to the middle of the thermos lid. In this part, I knitted a couple of rows with single crochets to secure the knitting.

Step 4. The cover itself is ready, let's move on to knitting the handle. My handle is 6 inches wide. We knit the handle with single crochets, so that it subsequently stretches less with us. To do this, simply turn the knitting and knit in reverse side. We knit as many loops as will be enough for the width of the handle of the cover, and turn again. Do not forget about the lifting loop at each turn.

So we knit until the handle reaches the desired length. I have it 68 centimeters long.

Step 5. Sew the free end of the handle to the opposite side of the cover, in its upper part.

Step 6. To make the edge of the handle look neater, we tie it on both sides.

Crochet accessories often knitted quickly, it will take you one or two evenings to knit our cover.

That's it, the thermos case is ready!

On a note:

In a case, tea in a thermos stays hot longer.

Knitted cover for a thermos made of pure wool - a great winter accessory.

No. 1 Do not knit a cover for a thermos with a volume of more than 0.5 liters. In the process of wearing, the crochet will most likely stretch out, unless you use some particularly coarse threads and knit very tightly.

No. 2 Check or ask the seller if the yarn you are knitting from is not intended for felting. If this is the case, then first you need to understand what the shrinkage of the item will be when washed. Tie a sample of 15 by 15 centimeters and measure it, write down the data. Then wash the sample with other things at a temperature of 40 degrees. You can put it in a separate bag so that the fibers do not disperse throughout the machine. After the sample dries, measure it again and calculate the percent shrinkage. And knit a cover for a thermos already on the basis of these data, that is, with a small allowance.

№3 Crochet accessories require respect for them. If you wash them by hand and at a temperature not exceeding 40 degrees, they will serve you for a long time, retain their shape and color.

Going on a winter fishing trip, on a long walk, take warm drinks and food with you. Learn how to make a thermos, wood chip stove.

How to make a thermos

If you are going for a walk in nature in winter, take hot tea with you. If there is nothing to pour it into, see how you can make such a vessel from improvised means. You can use what is available, using plastic or glass bottles as a basis.

If you liked this thermos, then you will need:

• two plastic bottles different sizes;
• foam rubber;
• foil;
• scissors;
• Scotch;
• yarn;
• hook.

Wrap a small bottle in foil. This material has a glossy and matte side. We wind the foil so that the glossy one is inside, so it will be better to keep warm. Cut off the neck and bottom of a large bottle. Wrap the small one with foam rubber, insert it into the larger one through the bottom hole of that one.

Attach the cut bottom of the larger container in its place, attach with adhesive tape. Now, on top of this design, you need to wrap the foil.

Tie a fabric of thread according to the size of a decorated large bottle. Tie at the top with the attached string. If you do not know how to knit, sew on a piece of thick fabric. How to tie and sew a cover for a thermos will be described below.

And this is far from the only way, which will tell you how to make a thermos from plastic bottles.

To implement the second idea, you will need:

• 2 bottles - with a capacity of 1 and 0.5 liters;
• foil;
• polyurethane foam;
• Scotch;

We also start by wrapping a small bottle with several layers of foil, with the shiny side inward. Having cut off the bottom of a large bottle, put a small one in it, put the bottom in place, secure with tape. This must be done carefully so that when upper part you will fill the space between the two bottles with polyurethane, the mass did not flow out of the bottom hole.

Do not apply too much polyurethane. After squeezing out a certain amount from the plastic nozzle put on the can, wait, as the mass will increase in volume.

Let the composition dry, then cut off the excess at the top with a knife. Thermos is ready.

For the third idea, in addition to two bottles of different sizes, foil, adhesive tape, you will also need foam rubber.

Like the first two containers, it can be used not only to maintain an elevated temperature of the drink, but also for chilled liquids. Such a thermos is indispensable in the summer.

Cut a large bottle into 3 parts, as shown in the photo. Wrap the small one first with foil, then with foam rubber, and again with foil on top. Put the bottom, then the middle part of a large bottle on it. Connect the elements of the container with tape.

Now check out how to make a good thermos from a glass bottle. But you will need those with screw caps. In such a container, you can buy juice, and use it a second time.

Do-it-yourself homemade thermos from glass containers

To do this, take:

• a glass bottle with a screw cap;
• kitchen towels;
• Scotch;
• electrical tape;
• scissors.

Wrap the bottle with 3-5 layers of paper kitchen towel. To make it easier to do, fix it with tape. Cut off the edge, attach it with a piece of electrical tape.

But do not cut it, wrap the entire bottle with this black electrical tape. The next layer will consist of foil. Wind the electrical tape over it so that each lower turn slightly overlaps the upper one.

And here is another way to make a good thermos. Take:

• a glass bottle and a slightly larger plastic one;
• foil;
• black electrical tape;
• scissors;
• cotton wool;
• cotton fabric.

Do big plastic bottle cut off the neck, it is not needed. Further, this container must be divided with scissors almost in half. Seal sharp cuts with electrical tape so as not to cut yourself during work.

Wrap two parts of a plastic bottle with foil, and a small glass bottle with cotton cloth. Secure materials with electrical tape.

Put the blank from a small bottle in lower part plastic container wrapped in foil. Between these two containers, helping yourself with a wooden skewer, place cotton wool.

Put the upper part of the plastic bottle with foil on the structure, wrap the thermos tightly with adhesive tape on the outside.

How to keep warm in a container for food?

Those who love winter fishing know how good it is when hungry to get hot sandwiches, warm hot dogs to enjoy them on a snow-covered reservoir. It is not difficult to design a container that retains heat. Do this if you have:

• a piece of polyurethane foil insulation;
• plastic jar with a lid of the right size;
• Scotch;
• scissors.

Cut a rectangle from the insulation, close the sides of the jar with it. Lay it on the remaining sheet of polyurethane foil, outline the bottom. Cut out this circle. Attach it from the bottom to the sides with tape.

Do not cut this tape. Go over the entire surface of the insulating layer with tape. To keep the food hot as long as possible, attach the lid to the insulation, outline, cut out with a margin. Then it will be possible to close the sides of the lid with this material, fix it with tape.

Wrap the food in foil before putting it in the container.

How to sew or knit a thermos case?

It's time to reveal the secret of this. If you go for a walk with a child in the cold season, make a thermos with a dispenser, as described above. Then the drink will be warm, keep this temperature long time. But it is necessary to tie a cover on the vessel.

For it you will need:

• dark and light threads;
• hook;
• scissors.

Dial 5 air loops, connect them into a ring by completing one more loop. Tie this blank with single crochets, you will get 9 of them - this is the first row. The next row will alternate one single crochet and one increase loop. The third is performed in the same way, but two single crochets and one increase are knitted. In each subsequent row, you need to increase the number of single crochets by one loop, the increase also remains in the amount of 1 piece.

Thus, you knit 7 rows. To finish the bottom, work row 8 in single crochet without adding stitches. In this case, the hook must be inserted into the back wall of the loop from the previous row.

Also, without adding loops, you need to crochet the cover further. To do this, we use the pattern “front relief column”, alternating with the “purl column”. We use single crochets, we perform 10 rows like this. Now you need to change the dark thread to a light one, complete 6 rows with single crochets.

Take the dark yarn again, knit 7 rows of embossed double crochets with it. Then work six rows with a light thread with single crochets. Next, there are 7 rows of embossed double crochets using a dark thread.

It remains to complete two rows with single crochet and one double crochet, using light yarn.
Tie a chain with a blue thread, thread it from above between the posts.

Now you need to put on a cover, crocheted, on the bottle, tighten the lacing, decorate it with ties.

See how to sew a bottle cover to turn it into a thermos. It is very convenient to keep warm baby food. But you can sew one on an ordinary glass or plastic container, thereby turning it into a thermos.

For work you will need:

• felt;
• cotton fabric;
• scissors;
• needle;
• threads;
• rags;
• polyethylene;
• felt.

The fabric construction will be four-layer, so you need to cut blanks of the same shape from felt; polyethylene; rags; cotton fabrics. They will be rectangular. The size of these parts is easy to determine, for this it is enough to measure the distance from the cap to the bottom of the bottle, add 1–2 cm. Reduce the layers of polyethylene and rags from two opposite sides by 1 cm.

Also cut out 4 circle pieces that match the bottom of the bottle. It is better to immediately iron the edges of the blanks so that it is more convenient to grind the layers together. What will you do.

Sew a zipper on one and the other side of the four-layer fabric. This can be done both on a typewriter and by hand. Sew the bottom on one and the other side of the resulting tube.

You can decorate the cover with felt, sewing, cut out according to a pattern, butterflies or other figures.

Do-it-yourself camping wood chip stove

If you need to quickly cook food, a log and a chainsaw are available, then make this design.

Using a saw, make 4 cuts, half a log deep or slightly lower.

Put newspapers in the crevices, you can water them a small amount ignition fluids.

Set fire to newspapers, after which you can set a frying pan or pot of water to cook food.

But this is a one-time design. If you want to make a reusable one, then see how a wood chip oven is made. It can be made on the basis of cans or you can use a metal appliance for drying spoons and forks. This is sold, for example, in Ikea stores. Let's look at the less expensive option first.

To make this, you will need:

• a large tin can with a diameter of 15, a height of 18 cm and an evenly cut lid from it;
• two 800 ml jars and a cut-out lid;
• the next jar is needed to make a shelf for the stove out of it;
• metal scissors;
• marker;
• glass wool;
• gloves.

Take the lid from a small jar, attach it to the side of a large jar, circle it with a marker.

Cut this hole with an electric metal cutter or metal shears.

If you use a special tool for cutting metal, be sure to wear goggles, work with gloves, and follow safety precautions.

Place a small jar in front of you, attach the same lid to it. Circle, cut a hole. Here's what your design will look like. You put a small jar inside a large one, pass the second small jar through the holes of both.

Measure the distance between the large jar and the small jar and cut a ring out of the lid of the large jar. Make slits at the top of a large container. Place glass wool between a large and small jar, place a cut-out ring on top, bend the edges of a large container.

Now we are working with another small jar, which has not yet been issued. Cut out a shelf from its sidewall, the edges of which must be installed in two slots of a small can-pipe. This shelf is needed for feeding branches, chips into the oven.

Here's what the finished design will look like.

The stove is ready, you can put a pot to boil water for tea, cook porridge, pasta or fry potatoes.

If something remains unclear to you, see the scheme for creating such a design.

But tin cans are short-lived. If you want to make a little thing, so that it is enough for for a long time, then use a metal container for drying cutlery.

She needs to cut a door on the side, as shown in the photo.

Insert 4 screws through the bottom holes, fix them with bolts. You made the legs for the camp stove. Everything, you can lay chips inside, kindle the structure. If the vessel is larger than the diameter of the stove, then it will fit well on top.

If you want to put a small container, then install two metal rods in parallel through the slots of the stove at the top. You will put a container on them.

Camping stoves can even be made from a metal mug. If you want to see the manufacturing process, watch the video.

How another wood chip oven is constructed is described in the following story.

After watching the third, you will learn how to make a thermos with your own hands.

Record dated: 2-22-2016

On the last week we made a week-long road trip through the mountainous regions of Northern Thailand. We spent a lot of time on the road and I decided to use it to good use. In the process, such a cover for a thermos was born, which I crocheted. I first knitted it for myself, then I decided to knit another little case for my friends - so that on my return I would give them along with a thermos.

The idea of ​​a cover with such handles and strings was born quite spontaneously! It turned out that carrying a thermos for these handles is very convenient. To be honest, I just didn’t get a thermos very well - it got very hot outside and quickly lost heat. At first, I hid it in a blanket, but then I decided - isn’t it easier to knit a cover for a thermos, especially since I took yarn and crochet with me and there was a lot of free time on the road. So I decided to kill two birds with one stone - and make the thermos more heat-retaining, and keep myself busy. And in general it’s nice when you drive for a long time — to do something with your hands along the way, it seems that time is not wasted in vain.

I used two types of yarn - thick green wool, and melange in light green shades - thinner.

I started knitting a cover from the bottom. I knitted the bottom like this - closed 5 air loops in a ring, then knitted 12 double crochets into this ring. The next row made an increase - two double crochet stitches in the loop, two double crochet stitches in the next, then again 2 double crochet stitches, then two double crochet stitches between them.

And a photo to illustrate:

After that, she knitted double crochets behind the back wall without additions - these are the walls of the thermos. I knitted 6 rows of green thick yarn (at the beginning of each row 3 air loops lifting), then switched to a melange thread. Melangevoy tied 9 rows with single crochets behind the back wall to get embossed stripes. After that, she again switched to double crochets with thick green yarn. I knitted 7 rows and realized that the desired height had already been reached.

Now we will knit another row with double crochets of melange yarn (in this row we will thread the “handles”. For the handles, I tied the cord with a double melange thread, left the threads longer at both ends - so that after stringing the beads. I pulled the cord into the top row (on the sides, where handles, did not pull through 8 columns).The ties turned out in front (and the “seam” in the back).

This rabbit, free-roaming in the National Park, also liked my thermos. Maybe because it's green like grass?)))

I really liked knitting covers for thermoses and I immediately decided to knit the same one for my friends - only a little bit different design.

I knitted a cover in two threads - to make it warmer and faster))) In this cover I made small “grooves” of gray thin yarn, which I then decorated with beads. Well, I made and decorated the tie-handles according to the same principle.

Remember, I told you how Slavyana and I knitted in the summer rugs from old knitted t-shirts? Then I mentioned that I want to knit a cover for a thermos. And then she tied this cover. What didn't you show? Yes, I hoped everything that we would get out into nature to breathe fresh air and barbecue. But Slavyana very inopportunely showed some kind of allergy. The doctors suspected that it was wormwood and other weeds, and forbade her not only to go out of town, but also to wander around the city unnecessarily. And just in case, they ordered not to eat any shish kebabs, but to sit on a hypoallergenic diet. Therefore, we didn’t go to nature, but went to a cafe and ate barbecue there from the belly ...

On this, my dream to photograph a thermos in a case against the background of what we usually call "nature" collapsed and crumbled into small pieces. For some time I thought about getting out of the house at least to the square behind the house and taking pictures of it on the lawn. But then diarrhea, then scrofula ... then rain, then work, then laziness, then household chores - in the end, this idea evaporated before it materialized. And the thermos went to the kitchen cabinet, to rest, until better times...

And I almost completely forgot about my case, but I thought of tidying up a little in the closet, and here it is - a thermos. It’s worth it, it’s sad - not only didn’t they walk it out, they also didn’t show the world such a masterpiece.))) Well, here I am showing it.

I knitted it from the bottom and in a circle, while knitting the lower part - I built different ideas in the blond brain how to make a cut under the arm. When I got to the handle, I tried it on - the handle fits perfectly into the cylinder, without any technological difficulties. Just in case, I decided to tie the part where the pen falls a little more freely. I overdid it a little.))) It turned out a bubble right along the thermos "waist".)))

The lid was knitted separately. When threading into the main part of the lace, it simply hooked one edge of the cap. As a result, without unnecessary spare parts, you can tightly caulk a thermos - and open it with a slight movement of your hand and use it for its intended purpose. Now he is even better able to keep warm than it is provided by the hardworking Chinese manufacturer.))) Well, and a little more reliably protected from accidental shocks. That's it, the gestalt is completed. Looking forward to next summer.
