Knitted blanket Floret

When I was compiling this selection, I came across models of blankets knitted in a circle. I really liked the idea, but it seems to me that this technique is more suitable for knitting round pillowcases and rugs. For me, a round blanket with knitting needles is not very convenient to use. But it’s unusual.

I would also like to say about an interesting technique for knitting blankets - intarsia. This is a multi-color knitting technique. Unlike jacquard in intrasia, each color is knitted from its own ball and there are no broaches. The threads are crossed with each other on the wrong side of the work. You can read more about the intarsia technique. Blankets knitted using this technique resemble patchwork or knitting from individual motifs. The loops for the next part are cast on the sides of those already knitted and the fabric turns out without seams. But in the end you get a solid knitted blanket fabric with knitting needles.

Knitted blanket in “Babette” style

https://crochetclub.net/blog/vyazanyj-pled-v-stile-babette/ SCHEME ON THE LINK.

Sometimes small balls of yarn remain after knitting. And it’s a pity to throw it away, and you don’t know what useful things to knit together from the leftovers. Of course, you can use the leftovers to finish mittens or socks, but you can come up with something more significant. For example, crochet a blanket.

Read in this article:

How to crochet a Hawaiian Flowers blanket

And since we will be knitting from leftovers, it would be best to knit the required number of small parts - squares of the same size, well, at least the ones in the photo above. Do you like it? Of course you do, otherwise you wouldn’t be reading this article. So we knit ourselves little by little as we have free time and inspiration, combine colors and put the squares into bins, and at the decisive moment we sew everything into one big and beautiful product and we are delighted!

Master class on knitting squares

Clever Tips offers you a master class on crocheting a blanket from squares.

Step one

Step two

• Through 5 loops gathered on the hook we pull the working thread, resulting in 1 loop on the hook.
• We knit 3 air loops and connect with a single crochet central ring, from which we started.
• We received 1 petal of the future flower from 4 of the same petals.

We repeat step one and step two 3 more times, as a result we have a flower of 4 petals, as in this photo:

Step three

• We alternately knit 12 double crochets into the upper part of each petal. As a result, our flower grew like this:

Now the thread needs to be tediously fastened and cut.

Step four

• We fasten a thread of a different color between the 4th and 5th stitch of the previous row and knit three lifting chain stitches.
• From the inside of the flower, “behind the legs” of the stitches of the previous row (5, 6, 7, 8), we knit 4 more stitches with 2 double crochets, leaving the last loops on the hook.

Step five

Good afternoon

Today I wanted to tell you about warm blankets despite the almost summer weather that has arrived here.

Crochet — amazing type of handicraft. You can even knit blankets from leftover yarn. Bright striped blankets with a zigzag pattern, very cozy, will warm you up on a cloudy, cool day if you wrap yourself up in them and cling to the TV screen with a cup of tea. And such weather often happens in the summer. And, as they say, prepare your sleigh in the summer! After all, knitting a blanket takes quite a lot of time. By the way, I knitted my blanket for a long time in the summer.

Preparing yarn for a blanket

For a blanket, depending on its size, you will need approximately 1.6 -2.5 kg of yarn. We knitters often accumulate quite a lot of leftover yarn from various yarns, so we can use them on a blanket. Old sweaters and pullovers can work especially well, because it’s not often that we unravel them and knit a new sweater. And the blanket will turn out just wonderful!

But you should keep in mind that such a striped blanket will look good only if you choose the right colors: they must be in harmony with each other. It can be either only warm tones, or only cold, or different shades one color, or you can knit a bright blanket from leftover yarn in all the colors of the rainbow.

Read about the rules of color combinations and how to choose them here>>.

You can knit any yarn: wool, half-wool, acrylic. You can even use yarn of different textures; a blanket made from such different yarns will turn out especially interesting.

It is only important that the yarn is the same thickness. Very thin threads can be folded into two or three.

Since quite a lot of yarn is spent on a large blanket and you may not have so many leftovers that match the color, it is better to buy new yarn rather than use any that come to hand.

Having unraveled the old sweater, the yarn must be straightened. To do this, I use a special device for rewinding yarn. I rewind the threads from the ball into large skeins. Then I wash them, dry them and rewind them into balls.

If you don’t have such a device, you can wind the yarn around the legs of the stool, turning it upside down. You can also ask a family member to help hold skeins of yarn on outstretched arms, as our great-grandmothers did. True, the last two methods are not very convenient.

Therefore, I propose another one that does not require rewinding into skeins and back, but only rewinding from ball to ball: put water in a kettle to boil, just fill the kettle halfway, leave it on low heat. Pull the end of the thread through the spout of the kettle and the top hole for the lid. While rewinding the yarn into another ball, the thread will straighten over the steam.

Patterns for crocheting a blanket from leftover yarn in a zigzag manner

We have decided on the yarn, select the hook according to the thickness of the yarn, for blankets it is suitable with a number of 2.5 - 4.5. I always advise you not to blindly follow what is written, choose a hook so that it is convenient to knit, so that the fabric does not turn out to be too loose and too dense, tight.

For crocheting a striped blanket from leftover yarn, I offer several patterns of zigzag patterns in separately opening tabs. They are taken from various Internet sources and are not very beautiful, but quite understandable.

Choose any one you like.

I think reading simple circuits It won’t be difficult: in the first two patterns in each row, through the same number of double crochets, in some places we knit two to five double crochets together, in others, we knit two to five double crochets from one loop.

Thus, the knitted fabric turns out to be zigzag.

Other patterns are slightly different, but the knitting principle is the same. It is important to ensure that the edge is smooth.

We alternate yarn of different colors in the rows and arrange the colored rows in the same specific order.

Tie the finished blanket around (on four sides) with single crochets.

The wavy edges can be left as is, or they can be straightened by knitting a row according to the following pattern.

All that remains is to decorate the blanket by tying long tassels or decorating pom-poms.

I made a selection of photos of beautiful bright blankets with a zigzag pattern from leftover yarn found in open Internet sources.

To complete the set with the blanket, you can also knit striped rainbow sofa cushions, as well as oven mitts for the kitchen.

You can also knit a cheerful bright blanket from simple large and small squares from leftover yarn, and we have many more ideas from leftover yarn.

If you knit often, you probably have a fair amount of leftover thread. Small balls will not work for a big thing, unless you try to make something with your own hands from different yarns.

What can you do to use up all the leftovers? This could be, for example, rugs. Bright, unique, they will decorate the interior, make it more cheerful and cheerful. You can decorate your home with all kinds of blankets, pillows, covers for the legs of chairs and tables and other decorative elements made by yourself.

Before you start working, you should carefully consider the threads that you have accumulated.

Geometric rugs made from leftover yarn

The first thing that comes to mind when you talk about knitting from leftover yarn is a variety of rugs. The product is extremely simple, work on it goes very quickly.

The simplest rug to make is one consisting of many identical elements. We knit each of them separately and then sew them together using a needle or hook.

The color scheme can be absolutely any. The pattern is the simplest, as in the photo below - a regular purl stitch. Squares have any size, but most often they are made 10*10 cm.

A rug can be assembled not only from squares. Knit diamonds, rectangles, triangles. Since our main focus is on the color scheme, it is not necessary to use complex patterns. Moreover, constantly changing threads will not allow you to knit complex patterns.

Among the rugs there are also more complex models. For example, round. The general scheme of work is shown in the photo below.

The size will depend on the number of stitches cast on. A medium-sized rug has 60 loops. In this case, each element is knitted separately. The front surface was chosen as the main pattern.

Progress:

• 1 row. We knit stitches 1-59, leave 60 unknitted.
• 2nd row. We shoot 60 and 59, the rest - according to the drawing.
• 3rd row - according to the drawing, add 1 loop at the end.

We continue until there are 30 added pieces. We begin to decrease 1 piece at a time. The decrease will be formed on both sides, but on one side the loops will close and on the other they will not. We knit the next 60 stitches relative to the side where the closure was performed.

A simpler option is a rectangular carpet.

This product is a stockinette stitch with a change of yarn. The more often you change it, the more interesting and fun the product will turn out to be.

Assembled pattern of knitted squares

You can make this kind of home decoration using small balls that you have left over from working on other things.

Knitting a bright cozy blanket

The theme of knitting from leftover yarn can be continued with a product such as a blanket. If it is better to use thicker threads for rugs, then we knit blankets from absolutely any yarn. It can even be openwork. You shouldn’t limit your imagination to any limits. With knitting needles you can knit completely different versions of blankets and bedspreads.

When making such a product with your own hands, remember that a blanket is a fairly large thing. It will take a lot of yarn. If you decide to decorate it with fringe, you may have to buy more thread. In addition, constantly changing yarn also takes a lot of time. So be patient and get to work.

Colored zigzag

This pattern is suitable for both blankets and rugs. It will look great on a children's skirt, which can also be made from leftover yarn. The drawing turns out very rainbow and cheerful.

If we are still talking about a blanket or rug, then it is better to take circular knitting needles. They are the ones who will allow you to dial a large number of loops, since the product is made immediately whole.

The pattern is based on a repeat of 16 loops, plus 1 additional one. It's better to add 8 pcs. for edging. With edging, the product will have a more finished and neat appearance. Both children and adults will really like this DIY blanket.

Procedure:

1. The row is odd. After the first knit stitch, we perform rapport along the entire length of the strip - yarn over - knit 6 pcs. – 3 loops together – knit stitches 6 pcs. – Yarn over – front 1 pc.
2. In even stripes, all stitches are purl. This is the main pattern - simple but effective.
3. At the beginning of the work comes the edging. It will be placed at the bottom of the blanket. Select the first color from which to start knitting and perform 4 rows with a 1*1 rib.
4. When all these knitting actions are completed, you can move on to the main part of the product. 1 row.
5. There will also be edging on the sides of the blanket. So the first and last 4 loops are always done 1*1.
6. After edging, it is better to hang pins at the beginning of the strip and at the end. This will allow you to avoid getting tangled in the loops and strictly adhere to the pattern.
7. Between the outer edges we knit a zigzag pattern. 2nd row. Don't forget about the edging - it follows the pattern. All the stitches between it are purl.
8. A strip of the same color will consist of 8 knitted strips. Therefore, we repeat rows 1-2 only 4 times. After this you can change the yarn.
9. Depending on the length of the finished product, you can calculate how many times you will have to change the threads. If you don't have required quantity yarn of the same color - just make the stripes narrower.
10. Change threads after 4 or 2 knitted strips.

As a result, you will get a blanket like this. They will enjoy shelter in any bad weather.

You can use knitting needles to knit various interesting things from leftover yarn. The same “Zigzag” pattern is often used for skirts or blouses.

To match the blanket, make the pillow with a Zigzag pattern.

To do this, simply knit a strip of the required length, and then sew it along the edges. The pillow is ready.

Interesting knitting from leftover yarn

The first thing we will need to do with our basket and its contents is to sort the threads by type of yarn and its thickness. If there are still used threads left, I offer you the secret of “renewing” them. I used to always wind them in large skeins and keep them suspended above the steam. With the advent of the Internet in the house, I learned to do this easier.

The secret can be clearly seen in the photo: we thread the thread through the spout of a kettle of boiling water and slowly pull it out. Voila... the thread is like new!

Fine knitwear

Knitting from leftover yarn will not work if we are planning to knit men's knitwear or other large items. For such purchases there are now boutiques and supermarkets, online stores and markets. As a last resort, we immediately purchase a kilogram of identical threads and knit a vest or sweater for our beloved husband, but use the remainder for other purposes.

A small number of threads can be used to knit small children's items: booties, mittens, socks, berets or hats.

Knitted toys

For those needlewomen who have a baby at home, the remaining colored threads from knitting are just a godsend. Now on the Internet you can find a lot of ideas for creating toys for your child. Sometimes this is a hobby for quite adults. I have already talked about how to knit toys here and here.

To create such beauty you need bright threads and your imagination. A selection of ideas knitted toys can be made infinite.

Knitted items

• The remaining threads are very convenient to use for crocheting. granny squares(circles or other geometric shapes). From such squares, connecting them together with a hook or a needle, bedspreads or paths are often made. These products are called Afghans.
• The types and sizes of squares may be different, but one product must contain squares that are the same size. Then it is much easier to connect them together.

• You can knit a washcloth from leftover cotton yarn.
• The kitchen can also be decorated with interesting knitted crafts. Just recently I showed a master class on how to create an egg stand. You can also tie tin or glass containers for bulk products. The kitchen will immediately become more comfortable.

I suggest you also look interesting master class of knitting spiral motifs, where it is very convenient to use the technique of knitting from leftover yarn. Then the finished squares can be used as a potholder, a hot stand, or used to create an unusual and creative blanket.

I hope you found it for yourself useful ideas and tips. Wish you interesting crafts and have a great mood!

Don't know what you can make from leftover yarn? There are a lot of successful ideas collected here, many of which you will definitely want to implement.

The order so disliked by many creative personalities, you should still have it at your workplace. Tools and materials neatly folded in a beautiful box inspire, but those scattered sloppily make you sad. Therefore, it is better not to store a bag of balls, but small squares of the same size knitted from leftover yarn. If you have a rarely used set of circular knitting needles, string these blanks onto it so as not to get lost - and when there are a lot of them, crochet them into one fabric. Depending on its size, you will have a new elegant pillowcase for a sofa cushion, a chair cover, a blanket or a rug.

If you knit not squares, but stripes, you can use them to make a wicker rug like this:

Don't forget to tie it around the edge. Also, for structural strength, interlaced strips can be sewn to a fabric base.

Another idea for interior knitting from leftover yarn is warm and soft things from a crocheted chain. That is, you knit a long chain of air loops and wind it into a ball. When the thread runs out, tie a new one - and so on until the ball is large enough. Then you take thick knitting needles (from No. 5 and above... better above), and use a chain instead of thread: the fabric turns out to be very voluminous and soft, which is ideal for the same capes, pillowcases and blankets. Just imagine how nice it will be to wrap yourself in such a multi-colored blanket in winter, which perfectly retains heat thanks to its loose structure! And you can knit it quite quickly: if you have ever worked with thick knitting needles, you have probably noticed that the fabric grows under them at lightning speed. Read about the intricacies of knitting blankets and blankets here: *link to an article about knitted blankets*.

Another thing that can be knitted from leftover yarn is wonderful striped or checkered socks. With the first, it’s clear: the algorithm of work is exactly the same as when making ordinary plain socks wool socks. The only difference is that when one thread ends, you tie another to its end and continue knitting. But not every reader has probably heard about the entrelak technique. Here's what we're talking about:

The technique is close to bias knitting. Here we also play with the number of loops - however, the algorithm for making square elements is somewhat more complicated, and therefore Entrelak should be recommended only to experienced needlewomen. It’s probably worth devoting a separate article to this topic - but for now I’ll just mention that this technique is by no means limited to socks. Hats, mittens and mittens, as well as outerwear and interior items - funny colorful squares can decorate anything.

If you still consider yourself a beginner needlewoman, you are quite capable of mastering a simpler technique. One of my previous articles is dedicated to jacquard patterns– check it out and you will find a lot of ideas for creativity. For example, from several small balls of yarn you can knit a pair of mittens with a colored pattern:

The scheme here is extremely simple: three loops of one color alternate with three of another. In the next row - the same thing, but shifted by one loop.

Is there too little thread even for mittens? Knit yourself a new phone case. The main advantage of such a case, besides its elegant appearance– it protects the device from impacts, including when dropped.

And finally: if you have a daughter and don’t have time to tinker with leftover yarn, give it to the girl. Teach the simplest knitting techniques - let him make clothes for dolls. This skill will certainly be useful to her in life. Anyone who is able to create beautiful and useful things with their own hands will never be bored.

Today we bring to your attention a selection of “Heart” patterns with knitting and crochet. You will find a selection of master classes and patterns for making granny squares with hearts, as well as blankets made from them.

The presented patterns are designed for both beginners and experienced craftswomen.

Necessary materials:

• The choice of yarn depends on the purpose of the heart pattern. If you want to use it to create a blanket or shawl (crocheted or knitted), we recommend using wool or wool blend yarn.
• The size of the knitting needles or hook is selected in accordance with the recommendations on the label (or by eye).

Knit or crochet a blanket?

Naturally, first of all it depends on the preferences of the needlewoman. However, it is worth considering that a product made with knitting usually turns out to be softer, while crocheted - heavier, denser and holds its shape.

How to combine motifs into a plaid

So that a product assembled from crocheted motives looked neat, it would be useful to know how to combine them into a single canvas. You can do this in two ways:

1. sew with a needle;
2. crochet with single crochets.

First of all, place the motifs with the right sides facing each other.

The disadvantage is that the seam is not elastic.

If you crochet each other, the seam will be more beautiful and elastic.

For an invisible seam, grab the inside stitches:

For a decorative “hem”, fold the squares with the wrong sides and connect with single crochets:

Conclusion

I’m sure that if you go through the bins of Etsy, you can come up with a second hundred ideas for products.

The main thing that I wanted to show is that you shouldn’t limit yourself only to the framework of familiar products, which have fierce competition. Your knitting skills will also be appreciated by buyers who need, for example, a knitted radish and a toilet cover :)

Did you find anything among these ideas that you wanted to do? Will you be adding any of the products to your store? Or maybe completely new ideas have appeared that are not even close to being on this list?

I try to tell blog readers about all the new products on Etsy and about my experience interacting with this platform.

Crochet blanket from leftover yarn

And the process is not complicated. Moreover, if you have the skills to use a short hook, then there are no problems at all. Any hobby is an expensive activity. Buying a hook and yarn, even not the most expensive one, will cost a pretty penny. Therefore, we will proceed from what was left and put into boxes. Nowadays you go into a department where they sell yarn and are speechless.

The shelves are bursting with many skeins of yarn of various compositions, thicknesses and thread twists, and the color range is simply amazing. Well, there was a time when the appearance of yarn on sale was an event. Whatever color you have, that's what you buy. Yes, what color is it: dirty gray and bright blue, red, brown, less often white, that’s almost all.

I have three shoe boxes of such balls accumulated: they take up space, I don’t want to knit from this different-sized set, and it’s a pity to throw them away. So the idea came to knit a blanket: it will never be too much in the house. If you have at your disposal the remains of modern, higher quality yarn with a rich color scheme, then the plaid will be more beautiful.

The blanket is knitted from identical squares. The size is arbitrary. To get started, we knit a braid of air loops, the length of the braid is equal to the length of the side of the future square. When the expected length is reached, we throw the thread onto the hook, stick it into the second loop from the hook and pull out a new loop (there are two loops on the hook). Then we pull out the next loop from the adjacent loop of the braid (there are already three loops on the hook), and continue to cast on until the end.

There are as many loops on the hook as there were in the braid. Now we throw the thread onto the hook and knit the first loop. We put the thread on again and knit the resulting loop together with the next loop hanging on the hook. Again we grab the thread and knit two loops together. Continue to the end of the row until there is only one loop left on the hook.

We again collect loops from the loops of the bottom row and knit them. The work is not turning around. We cast on loops - move to the left, knit them - move to the right (to the beginning of the row). Shown in Figure 1. When the first square is ready, break the thread. Turn it and pick up loops from the side (perpendicular to the knitting direction), knit the second square.

Blanket made from leftover yarn

Thus, by connecting the squares together during knitting, we achieve the required length and width of the future blanket. When the work is finished, we tie the blanket around the perimeter in several rows with single crochets using a short crochet hook. To form corners, we knit three loops into each corner loop. We finish the binding with a crab step or any other technique as desired.

Maybe a blanket made of assorted threads is not very beautiful, but it is no less warm and has not affected the current family budget at all; what was stored in boxes and took up space is now bringing both benefit and satisfaction!

Tools for making a blanket from scraps

For fruitful and inspired work, apart from perseverance and patience, not much is needed:

1. hooks;
2. knitting needles;
3. sewing needles;
4. pins with different colored heads;
5. safety pins.

Basic patchwork rules for knitting

Yarn for all motifs should be of the same type or at least the same thickness. If you use remnants of thread from old works, you can adjust the thickness by winding several thin threads into one.

Color palette does not play a special role, since the style itself positions the mixture of incomparable colors as its own main feature.

Without any plan, masterpieces are produced that perfectly combine not only different colors, but also different sizes.

But if the work is carried out according to the scheme, you should try to adhere to its recommendations as much as possible. The number of skeins and type of yarn must correspond to the declared one, since some patterns were developed for a specific type of yarn with a thread of a certain thickness.

By changing the type of materials required, you may not get the desired result. Patterns for products using the patchwork technique can be knitted in two ways: crocheted and knitted.

Step-by-step instructions for crocheting a blanket motif

Legend:

VP – air loop;

ST with/without NAC – double crochet/single crochet;

Connect ST – connecting post;

Half ST with NAC - half double crochet.

1. Yellow center of the flower. Cast on 2 ch in the second loop from the hook. 8 ST without NAC connection ST.
2. 2 ST without NAC in each ST without NAC of the previous row. Tear off the connecting ST thread. View of the front side of the workpiece.
3. Turn over to the wrong side.
4. We tie a white thread.
5. We collect 3 VP on a white thread.
6. In the very first VP (the third from the hook, marked with a tick in the previous photo) we make a ST with NAC.
7. We don’t knit together. There are 2 loops left on the hook.
8. In the same loop he knits a second ST with NAC.
9. There are 3 loops left on the hook from the chain from the sequence of VP and two ST with NAC.
10. We knit all three loops together. This produces the first petal.
11. We start the next petal after one ST (marked with a tick in the previous photo). We make a ST connection and tighten it thoroughly.
12. The petal is obtained with a cavity on the wrong side.
13. The front side of the leaf is convex.
14. We repeat the process from step 5 to step 11.
15. ST with NAC in the third from the VP hook.
16. Second ST with NAC in the same loop.
17. The second petal is formed. All 3 loops are knitted connecting the ST through the ST of the previous row and the thread is tightened.
18. Continuing the cycle, the petals are connected through the ST base.
19. There are 8 petals in total. The last one goes to connect ST to the base of the first chain from VP.
20. The front side of the finished flower.

1. We turn the finished central element over to the wrong side. We tie a green thread into the missed ST without NAC yellow color
2. We turn the workpiece back over and make 3 VPs. In this case, 2 VP replace ST with NAC and VP between the columns.
3. View from the reverse side.
4. Insert a hook into the base of the petal (the loop marked with a tick in the previous picture).
5. We knit ST without NAC.
6. We knit the VP and make a yarn over. We insert the hook into the missed ST without the yellow NAC, which is located under the next petal.
7. We tie the ST to the NAC.
8. We knit the VP and insert the hook into the base of the next petal.
9. We tie ST without NAC.
10. NOT DOING! VP we knit a ST with NAC into the missed ST without NAC of yellow color, which is located under the next petal. We knit VP.
11. We knit everything in a circle, repeating steps 4 to 10. Then we complete the connecting st.
12. The second row is knitted starting with three VPs that replace ST with NAC.
13. ST with NAC in the next VP of the previous row.
14. 2 ST with NAC in ST without NAC of the previous row.
15. ST with NAC in the next VP. ST with NAC and VP of the previous row. 2 Sь with NAC with ST without NAC. A total of 9 ST with NAC is obtained. Repeat 3 times.
16. in total you should get 36 ST with NAC. We complete the ST connection.
17. ST without NAC, half ST with NAC, ST with NAC + VP + ST with NAC in one loop, half ST with NAC, 2 ST without NAC. All this on 6 ST without NK of the previous row.
18. Repeat point 17 in reverse order. We get one side of the hexagon.
19. We repeat six sides (points 17+18). Front side view.
20. Back side view.

Preparing motifs for a blanket

Before the final connection of all parts in ready product they need to be processed into a shape that matches the pattern.

This will not only make the motifs neater, identical elements with expressive patterns. But it will also smooth out the curled edges, aligning the loops for the convenience of further work.

1. Spraying

The workpiece is pinned to the ironing board or pillow. If necessary, stretch the edges of the part until the right size.

The surface is sprayed and gently smoothed by hand. Remains in this state until completely dry. Used for synthetic materials.

2. Steaming

It is used mainly for workpieces made of semi-synthetic materials; the iron is not brought too close to the workpiece.

The end of the steaming process is checked by the corner of the motif; if the fabric shrinks when breaking off the pin, you must continue.

Because the
large folding corner sofas are becoming increasingly popular, mechanisms with different options unfolding the model. For example, an option called “Eurobook” is very popular.

The dimensions of corner sofas are among the most significant in their class: up to 2.8 m in length, with a corner length of up to 1.7 m. Read more about this type of upholstered furniture here.

3. Wet method

The method is suitable for large-area blanks made of natural yarn.

The part is lowered into the input at a temperature not exceeding that indicated on the yarn package. Removed from the water and lightly squeezed. Wrap tightly in a dry towel.

Then you need to straighten and pin the workpiece to a flat surface, leaving it to dry completely.

Combining motifs for a bedspread

There are many ways to crochet a blanket from squares. Let's consider not the most complex and one of the most reliable. The stitching of the bedspread on the bed or sofa takes place closely at the tops of the ST with NAC.

The hook is inserted into the loop in front of the join, then it catches the working loop and pulls it out. Then at the next connection point the ST is knitted with the NAC.

An additional yarn over is made and the hook is inserted into the resulting loop.

The connecting thread is grabbed, a NAC is again formed through which the working thread needs to be grabbed again. And so all the loops are tied along the line of contact.

The classic patchwork technology, where products are created from small scraps, can be significantly improved and changed.

Exists interesting technique bias knitting, which can be used to create motifs. In this case, the elements are not squares or hexagons, but long zigzag-like stripes.

The width of the strip is 10 loops, more can be done if desired. In the starting row, the first and second loops are knitted together, the rest are cast on as a regular knit stitch. At the end of each subsequent row, an additional loop is cast on.

The new row begins in the same way as the starting one, by knitting the first two loops. In this way, 10-15 rows are knitted.

Create a reverse zigzag. We cast an additional loop in front of the first knit stitch in the row, and knit the last and penultimate loop in the row together. We repeat the cycle the same number of times as the previous one.

By alternating the extension of loops alternately to the left and to the right, we create a strip one and a half meters long. Depending on the expected length of the blanket.

We knit the next motif in a similar way, with one difference. The outermost loop on one side, removed from the knitting needle, is threaded under the rightmost loop of the corresponding row of the adjacent motif. The result is a raised double-sided scar.

Handmade blankets and bedspreads wonderful gift, warming in any cold. After all, they convey the warmth of the master’s hands.
