It's always nice to create something new and beautiful for your home, for example, knitting napkins. Light and airy, with various shapes, they will not leave anyone indifferent. An exquisite napkin, knitted by hand, can significantly transform the interior, create tenderness and comfort in the home.
The napkin is knitted in circular rows on a ring of 8 chain stitches. The flower in the center is beautifully highlighted thanks to the bias net knitted around it. The border between the round center and the peripheral part of the openwork napkin is a relief made raised columns. The same technique was used to create volumetric accents at the base and on the tapering sections of the petals in the middle part of the pattern.
The volume of the entire pattern of the openwork napkin is given by the contours of the petals made in relief columns. The pattern is completed by “fans” made above the original gaps between the petals.
When making any pattern and crocheting a napkin, in particular, be creative. Try replacing different volumetric elements. Perhaps you will find a better solution based on your individual knitting style.
For example, the “bump” crocheted in the 22nd row can be replaced with a lush column, and in the “fans” of the peripheral part of the openwork napkin, “corn kernels” can be crocheted instead of “bumps”.
Number of pulls for lush column and the number of dc, forming a “corn grain”, select taking into account the thickness of the thread used and the desired effect. You can also enhance the relief by knitting treble crochets on the far half-loops. 10th row of openwork napkin crochet decorative row.
Knit the embossed columns that form the outline of the petals around the round center of the knitted napkin with an additional slip of stitches.
In the 22nd row, tie a “bump” of 3 cm. 1n. Having completed the 5th treble crochet, work 3 treble crochet stitches. with a common base, sticking a hook under the st.bn. 10th row; Pull up a stitch for the 6th dc by pulling the yarn through the top of the 4th dc. prev row; Knit all the loops on the hook in one step.
Or complete the “bump”, and only then work the 6th crochet stitch.

In addition to all of the above, there is also a wide variety of napkin knitting techniques. For example, Irish lace. Or Bruges lace - a Belgian technique. Creativity in knitting napkins is like art.

How to starch a crocheted napkin
After reading many guides on starching napkins, I came to the conclusion that they are hopelessly outdated. In all of them it is proposed to cook a paste from starch, but why such difficulties? It is much easier and faster to soak a napkin in wallpaper glue, which consists of starch that does not cause yellowing. It applies quickly and is not visible after drying. Ideal, in my opinion.
Make the solution thinner and dip a napkin into it, give it time to dry, and now you have a beautiful copy in front of you, smooth, without creases or curls. Wallpaper glue easily soaks in water, so don’t be afraid of ruining the product.
Video master class - simple crochet round napkin

I hope you liked these patterns for crocheting beautiful napkins and will take something for yourself to work with! Well, that’s all I have for today... Happy crafting!
When crocheting napkins for beginners, it is better to start with thicker (but not very thick) yarn so as not to get tangled in the threads. For example, half-wool or acrylic.
We select the hook according to the thickness of the thread. This is done by trial method: if you take very thin hook, then knitting with thick yarn will be difficult, almost impossible. A crochet hook with a very large number will result in a napkin that is too full of holes. 
For knitting a thick napkin for beginners, a hook with number 2 - 2.5 is suitable. But, again, I repeat, do not strictly follow what is written. Try it, choose the option that you think is more convenient. 
It is better for beginners to choose the simplest patterns for crocheting a napkin.
Crocheted small napkins can be used as a coaster for glasses and cups. White or multi-colored thick small napkins will look good on the table.
Well, in the future, for knitting openwork napkins, it is better to use thin cotton bobbin threads, such as those used for sewing (No. 0-10). The product will be soft and airy. 
In this case, the hook should also be taken with the smallest number 0.5 or 1.
You can also knit napkins from thicker cotton yarn like Iris; a hook size of 1.2-1.5 is suitable. 
So, how to crochet a napkin?

When the row is completely knitted with green thread, we move on to the second tier of berries on each bunch.
When knitting the next row with green thread, for the leaves we add 2 stitches in one loop of the bottom row on each side of the air arches. The green part of the knitting should be wide.
