Crocheted napkins have long ceased to be an attribute from grandmother's chest and are actively used in interior design, for example, in the Provencal style, which is popular today. Even a novice needlewoman can master knitting a napkin, since a variety of techniques allows you to choose the work that you can do... With just a few simple knitting techniques, you can create original decoration do it yourself. Those who have long mastered crocheting can perform fabulously beautiful napkins more complicated, using diagrams or descriptions from numerous magazines.

The most common forms of knitted napkins

Crochet napkins come in different forms:

• round;
• oval;
• radial;

• square;
• rectangular;
• diamond-shaped.

The knitting method depends on the shape of the future napkin.

Round napkin

We start knitting from the middle. We connect the air loops in a chain. In each next row, you need to make uniform increases, forming a pattern from circular rows.

Oval napkin

We start knitting from the central chain air loops... All the following rows are knitted around this chain on both sides. Knitting takes place in circular rows, but the increments need to be done only on the rounded sides on both sides.

Lucid napkin

As with knitting a round napkin, start in the middle. We connect the air loops in a chain. We expand the canvas in circular rows, making increments in the same place.

The principle of knitting round, oval and radial napkins is not much different. You can often see how needlewomen knit napkins from the same pattern. different forms making this a variety of kits.

Square napkin

A square napkin should be knitted, like a radial napkin, starting from the middle. To expand the circular rows, increments are made in four places, which will become the corners of the square.

Rectangular napkin

Knitting rectangular napkins combines the techniques of performing square and oval.

We knit a central chain of air loops. All the following rows are knitted around it on both sides. The additions must be made on four sides (at the corners of the rectangle). But if in a square napkin the increments were made at the same distance, then in a rectangular napkin they are added at the beginning and end of the central chain, thus forming two corners on each side.

Diamond-shaped napkin

The diamond-shaped napkin should be started from the chain of air loops. Further, the expansion of the canvas occurs following the example of a round or radial shape. After knitting several rows, subtractions should be made from two opposite sides of the napkin, continuing to knit the other two sides.

Sometimes, to give the napkin the required shape, it is not knitted in a circle, but starting from one side, such as napkins made by crocheting sirloin. In this way, you can achieve not only a square or rectangular shape, but also any other.

You can crochet a napkin using detailed description or a diagram. Schemes are image of the future product made with special icons. Legend is attached to each diagram.

1. Start reading the scheme, as well as knitting, need from the middle- from the central chain. Sometimes the number of air loops in it can be counted, or it is indicated by a number.
2. The beginning of each row is indicated by a number - number of this row... After the figure, lifting loops are required.
3. Sometimes on the diagram it is indicated arrow knitting direction.
4. If the badges are connected below, knit them need from one point(air loop, column or arch of the bottom row).
5. The icons connected at the top of the diagram indicate that they have there must be a common top.
6. Each next row of loops should be more than in the previous one.

It is easier for novice needlewomen to use a verbal description of the pattern.

Crochet napkin patterns in various techniques

Crochet is distinguished by a variety of techniques and ways of making the canvas. Some of them are very simple and accessible even for beginners, since they use the most simple tricks: single crochet, double crochet and air loops. Others are "aerobatics" of crochet, but if available detailed diagrams or descriptions can be mastered too.

The following techniques are used for knitting napkins:

• fillet knitting;
• openwork knitting;
• Irish lace;

• modular knitting with motifs;
• bruges lace;
• Romanian (lace) lace.

Caring for knitted napkins

All handicrafts require proper care. After knitting, the finished napkin is smoothed and steamed to give it the required shape. If you wish, you can lightly starch the product

The topic of knitting napkins is very wide and multifaceted. It is impossible to describe everything in one article. If you are interested in the above ideas, leave your comments. The advice of experienced craftsmen will be especially valuable for readers.

V modern world, when many functions have been taken over by machines, hand-made things are especially highly valued. The art of crocheting lace is easy enough to learn, and very easy to fall in love with - just look at the masterpieces coming out of the hands of the craftswomen. Of course, it is best for novice needlewomen to learn from simple products. For example, make simple napkins.

Crochet napkins for beginners

Small napkins are good because they knit quickly and, thanks to this, help to “fill your hand” well. We have selected a scheme that is easy enough that even a beginner could cope with it.

To knit a napkin, we need to take a crochet hook and thick woolen threads.

Step 1: we collect air loops in the amount of 6 pieces, after which we combine the ends with a connecting post.

Step 2: in the first row we knit 3 air loops (this will be a rise), we knit 11 columns, which are divided by one air loop.

Step 3: knit the 2nd row. Again we knit 3 air loops as a lift and knit a column through the 1 row air loop.

4 step: we knit an air loop, we knit into the previous V.P. two columns and 1 yarn. Then again also to the end of the row. The row will be closed. column.

Step 5: knit row 3. We knit a connecting post and raise it with three air loops.

This row is knitted further according to the following pattern: when we made a rise in the 1st chain stitch of the 2nd row. After two columns are knitted, we knit 1 VP, and in the next 3 columns with 1 crochet are knitted. The row is closed with a column, similar to the previous one.

Step 6: knit row 4. This is done in the same way as with the third. You only need to knit 4 columns with one crochet. And we close, respectively, as row 3.

Step 7: fifth row. We go to the double crochet from the 4th row and knit 5 VP.

We knit a single crochet through the air loop of the 4th row.

Then we knit 5 VP again and knit a single crochet between the two columns. And thus we knit the 5th row.

Step 8: in the extreme arch we knit 2 VP and a double crochet.

Step 9: knit the sixth row, extreme. In it, you need to knit 8 columns with 1 crochet, and in the arch of the napkin, a single crochet is knitted.

Step 10: we knit 8 columns with 1 crochet into the next arch. And we knit in the same way to the end. We end the row with a connecting post.

In the next arch we knit eight columns with one crochet. So we continue to knit until the end of the row. We finish with a connecting post.

So we told you how to tie crochet napkin, and as a result of our lesson, you should have a small miracle napkin.

Other napkins and schemes for them

We continue crocheting napkins: diagrams and descriptions are attached.

Using a crochet hook, for example, you can knit a wonderful napkin, the pattern of which resembles a pineapple:

To knit these napkins you will need AIDA threads and crochet hook No. 1.25.

Knitting of napkins should be started according to the patterns from point A. The pattern is knitted around the circle. The number of loops you need to dial is on the diagram.

The star napkin looks no less elegant:

Its final diameter is 49 cm. In order to knit it, you need: Cotton white yarn, about 280 meters, hook number 1.25-1.5.

In addition to such openwork and lace napkins, you can also knit a very stylish, modern napkin on the table:

To knit such a napkin, you will need multi-colored yarn and a 2.5-inch crochet hook. Since the napkin is knitted from 2 parts, the first part is knitted first, then we begin to knit the second and only on the fifth row should we begin to combine these parts.

All the napkins that we mentioned in our article must be washed after they are completed, and then very carefully straighten and stretch, otherwise they will lose their shape.

We hope we were able to interest you with this beautiful and graceful handicraft!

Step 4: Taking proper care of the product

In warm soapy water, hand wash, napkin and rinse well. We stretch the product as best as possible in all directions. We put it on waffle towel and stretch it again. We dry the product at room temperature. After complete drying, we iron the product with the set iron mode No. 1 or No. 2, from the wrong side. You can also starch the garment when rinsing.

A simple crochet napkin is not only a way to decorate your home, but also a great DIY gift for your loved ones. Tie this product and give a piece of yourself to your loved ones.

Handicraft has always had its value, and such art, Products made with this technique, will decorate any interior. Where to start if this is your first time using this technique? Do not tackle complex products right away, for a start it will do simple circuit for beginners. To get started, you need to learn some of the features of knitting.

Choice of materials

For each napkin, depending on its purpose, a certain thread thickness is suitable. Preference is always given to pure cotton, a fiber such as iris or snowflake is ideal. Acrylic is also very widely used. The threads can be in spools or skeins, on which you will always find the number of grams and meters in one unit. These parameters will help you determine the number of skeins required for a given job. The size of the hook will depend on the selected thread thickness, the thinner the thread, the lower its number. When starting out, use a medium-sized thread and hook for test pieces. After you have mastered the simple elements, you can use yarn of any thickness.

Symbols

Any for beginners consists of certain icons, which are deciphered as follows:

Oval is an air loop, it is obtained by pulling the thread through the previous one;

A stick - a single crochet, is performed as follows: the loop put on the hook remains in place, the hook is inserted into the loop of the previous row, where it is necessary to complete the column. The working thread is captured and pulled. The hook makes two air loops. Then the thread is again captured and pulled through these loops, as a result, only one remains.

A cross or a black dot is a connecting post designed to complete a row.

Long stick with an oblique line - double crochet.

These are the simplest elements, they will be enough at the first stage of training. Usually a description is accompanied by a crochet napkin scheme, by which you can find out the moments incomprehensible in the scheme. If you find other symbols in the diagrams, it will be more complex. For beginners, at the first stage, it is better to give preference to simpler options.

Doing the basics

Each crochet napkin pattern for beginners assumes the same beginning, regardless of the subsequent pattern. A chain of air loops is knitted, the number of which is determined by the density of the product. If an openwork napkin is intended, a chain of eight loops will do. If the product is dense enough, five pieces will be enough.

The resulting chain must be closed; for this, a connecting half-column is used. All subsequent rows of knitting will end in the same way.

The ring that you formed during the connection is tied around the entire circumference with columns with or without a crochet. It is necessary to start work by lifting the loops, for this, at the beginning of each row, which will be performed by this element, three air loops are knitted.

The second row must be done with double crochets, therefore, as a lift, it is also necessary to knit air loops, the number of which will vary from three to five. Knit air loops follows from the base of the connection. Then a double crochet is performed, which is located in the formed loop of the previous row. After that, two air loops are knitted, and using this technology, the elements are repeated. The crochet napkin pattern for beginners can have another combination of the second row.

Now you can proceed directly to drawing a napkin.

We knit a small napkin

To do this, you will need acrylic yarn and hook number 2. The figure shows a diagram of a small crocheted napkin. The sequence of work will be as follows:

We knit a chain of 6 air loops and connect it into a ring.

First row. We lift with 4 loops and begin the first row, which consists of 30 double crochets.

The second row begins with 4 air loops, we knit two double crochets. Then we make two air loops and the next two double crochets. They are not knitted over the next column, but over the next one after it. The operation is repeated until the end of the row. After completing the pattern, we close the knitting with a connecting post.

In the third row, the air loops of the previous row are tied in this combination: 2 double crochets, 2 air loops and 2 more double crochets. Then 2 more side chains are knitted, and the combination is repeated.

The fourth row is performed in the following sequence: 4 lifting loops, 2 double crochets. A connecting column is made on the side loops of the previous row. In medium air loops, 3 double crochets are knitted, two loops and 3 more double crochets, a connecting column. Repetition occurs to the end of the row.

The fifth row is knitted identically to the fourth, only instead of connecting posts, 3 air loops are performed.

In the sixth row, the crochet small napkin scheme includes additional elements that will lead to an increase in the diameter of the napkin. The row is knitted according to the fourth pattern with an increase of up to 3 double crochets, and 2 air loops are included on both sides of the connecting post.

At this stage, you can finish knitting, you get a small napkin, if you need a product bigger size... Rows 5 and 6 should be repeated, only in each next row one single crochet and two air loops are added to the pattern.

Openwork napkins

To make a beautiful openwork napkin, you need to choose the thinnest thread possible, then you will get an exquisite product. The scheme has no special features. For such a product, you will need 50 grams of 100% cotton yarn and a maximum size of 1.5 crochet hook.

We collect a row of 8 air loops, connect in a ring, in which we knit 15 double crochet stitches of the next row. In the next row, we increase the number of columns to 32. Then we continue to knit according to the pattern shown in the diagram. The entire pattern of the openwork napkin consists of 9 rows.

Rectangular napkins

The technologies for making such products are different. You can knit a whole napkin at once, or you can make separate fragments or modules, and then combine them into a single whole. The crochet pattern of a round napkin considered in the previous version is made using the technology of knitting in a circle. In this case, the direction of work alternates from right to left and in the opposite direction. Let's consider both options.

Plain rectangular napkin

The size finished product will be 15x20 cm. For work you will need cotton threads of medium thickness and a hook number 1.5. Napkin pattern crocheted has its own uniqueness, if you finish the work on the second step, you get a square napkin. You can not stop at the presented number of circuit elements, increasing their number, the length of the product will increase up to required size... The work begins with 64 air loops and, according to the pattern, the main pattern of the canvas is performed, the change in knitting directions is shown by arrows.

Modular product

Let's consider the second option. represented by two figures. In accordance with the pattern, we make a fragment of the napkin.

According to the pattern, knitting starts from the corner, and the direction of the rows changes. After the square is obtained, it is tied around the perimeter with a rim row, with the help of which the fragments will be connected into a single product. The size of the napkin will depend on the number of fragments made. After you have received the required number of modules, you can start assembling. The connection points are shown in the diagram with arrows. The resulting canvas must be tied with three rows of finishing around the entire perimeter of the scheme.

Caring for knitted napkins

Now you have the first handmade crocheted, and you need to be able to properly care for it. The finished product after knitting is smoothed and steamed. A crocheted napkin for beginners will hold the necessary shape if you lightly starch it. After long-term use, there is a need for cleaning, it can be done in the following order:

We release the napkin from the accumulated dust, for this we shake it.

Prepare a soapy solution, it is best to use shampoo or liquid detergent.

For a while, we immerse the product in a soapy solution. In no case should the napkins be rubbed.

We carry out rinsing by immersion in clean water, also without friction.

The push-up is done with a terry towel, in which the napkin is placed.

There are two ways to dry the product. A natural option when a crochet napkin for beginners is laid out on a towel under the press. You can also dry it with an iron, which will significantly speed up the process.

From time immemorial, the border has been considered the element of knitting that gives any product true tenderness and sophistication. It can be used to decorate any crocheted items - from clothing items to kitchen accessories (napkins, tablecloths, towels, curtains and much more). Moreover, not only ready-made ones are tied with a decorative border knitwear... Openwork lace, knitted along the free edge of the fabric, is able to breathe new life into an old, long-forgotten thing from a woman's or children's wardrobe.
