Currently, it has become very fashionable to decorate the interior of a home with various hand-made products. This is not only stylish, but also significantly develops a person’s horizons.

The most common types of napkins and tablecloths found in home interiors are knitted napkins and tablecloths. You can, of course, disagree, saying that all this can be easily purchased in a store or supermarket. But handmade products are quite rare, and their prices are very high. In addition, handicrafts calm you down, relieve stress, help pass the time and develop your imagination. An important fact is that the creator puts a piece of his soul into each of his products.

Some facts

In the last century, crocheting was widespread, because there was not a wide choice of fabrics; many things were created using this wonderful technique. Since even a child can master the technique of crocheting, learning began at an early age.

Having learned to cast on and make basic loops, we gradually moved on to more complex subjects. Crocheting napkins for beginners was a kind of learning test. The simplest patterns, a small amount of work - and with a successful result, you could begin to master the technique of knitting clothes. Based on simple patterns, it is very easy to create things such as ponchos, hats, shawls, skirts and other wardrobe items.

How to Read Patterns

At first glance at the diagrams, you can be intimidated by the complex symbols that make up the pattern of the future product. But in fact, reading the diagram is very simple. It is enough to study 1-2 sources, remember the symbols and try to perform the simplest patterns. You should try making loops using flat or horizontal knitting. After which you can safely start crocheting napkins. Schemes for beginners should be simple and understandable. The figure shows an example of the most common symbols and their names so that the diagrams do not seem like scary hieroglyphs.

In fact, as we see, there is nothing complicated. Crocheting napkins for beginners will turn into pure pleasure if you just carefully examine the pattern and decipher its symbols.

Selection of materials

Crocheting a napkin for beginners should start with the right choice of yarn. For the first trial lessons, you should choose thicker threads that are not so easy to get tangled in. For this purpose, it is worth taking acrylic yarn or wool blend. In this case, all the loops will be clearly visible, and the pattern will be clearly drawn.

Crocheting for beginners also depends on the choice of tool size. The napkins will have large holes if you choose a very large hook. At the same time, it will be impossible to knit thick yarn with a small hook. Regardless of the type of yarn, the size of the tool must match it and not cause discomfort during work.

After the first results on dense yarn have been successful, you can begin openwork knitting. To do this, you need to choose a hook size 0.5 or 1, and threads - cotton, bobbin, No. 10. This material produces a thin, airy product.

Knitting Basics

In order not to lose interest in the process and turn it into a hobby, crocheting napkins for beginners should be based on the simplest patterns. These will be completely simple patterns, but with their help you will certainly develop the ability to read patterns and knitting techniques.

The first products can be used as coasters for hot items, such as cups or plates. In addition, if you master crochet for beginners, rectangular napkins knitted using the circular technique can be sewn. The result will be an excellent knitted blanket or bedspread.

The first loops obtained during the work process should not be very tight or loose. The density of the product and the accuracy of the work will depend on the tightening force of the thread.

It is also worth noting that in the process of creating a napkin it is necessary to carefully study the pattern - missed loops may cause the pattern to be distorted. In simple patterns, the pattern is often repeated from row to row, increasing in some places due to yarn overs and air loops.

Step-by-step crocheting napkin tutorial for beginners

Specialized magazines often contain master classes on crochet. Let's look at how to crochet a small napkin for beginners.

Let's consider the proposed pattern in order to understand the principle of knitting.

Step 1. First, create a ring of 5 air loops. Next, we cast on one air loop for lifting and knit 8 single crochets. We close the row.

Step 2. Next, we cast on three lifting chain stitches and knit a double crochet. We continue to knit 2 chain stitches, 2 double crochets in one loop of the previous row. The number of loops increases to 34. Close the row.

Step 3. Again the lifting loops, we begin to knit a lush double crochet and air loops. We close the row.

Step 4. Knitting the last row, we form a square. By alternating double crochets and chain stitches, we get a square motif that can be part of a large blanket. This is the product we have at the end of knitting.

If in the pattern we replace fluffy double crochets with regular stitches with one or two crochets, we will get a less embossed fabric.

Simple circuits

Crocheting napkins for beginners should start with the simplest patterns. This makes it easier to learn how to count stitches, understand the symbols and, of course, develop your own knitting technique and pace. We offer several simple patterns that will help you create both absolutely small and medium-sized napkins.

Below is a diagram (symbols can be seen above) of such a product. Such patterns can be found in special knitting magazines. This is the simplest napkin option for beginner knitters.

Often in handicraft magazines there are diagrams with examples, like this one.

Such schemes are good because they show the end result, based on which you can compare your creations.

Where to learn to knit?

If crocheting a napkin yourself or patterns for beginners is difficult for you, and the descriptions seem incomprehensible, use the video tutorials, which clearly show how to cast on loops and perform basic motifs.

You can also look for special courses that teach the basics of crochet. Almost every city periodically organizes exhibitions or master classes, where you can find a worthy teacher. At these events, experienced craftsmen share their secrets with beginners. Topics that affect crocheting napkins for beginners are often raised there. Discussing and commenting on your work will help you see your mistakes and mistakes.

Conclusion

I would like to hope that this article helped in learning this wonderful type of needlework, and with the help of a little advice you will certainly get a beautiful, openwork tablecloth made with love and warmth. Let it be small, the first, but created with your own hands. I would like to believe that in the future your home will be decorated with a real knitted work of art.

Our grandmothers and great-grandmothers also knitted napkins to add comfort and individuality to their homes. These simple products were used to decorate not only pillows and bedspreads, but also bedside tables, chests of drawers, tables, chairs and stools. Even radios, televisions and refrigerators could be decorated with various works of art by the caring hands of the housewives. Every girl was told by her mother or grandmother how to crochet a napkin. It is important to continue these family traditions today.

Preparing for knitting

In order to knit even a simple small napkin, you need to prepare in advance for the rather painstaking work ahead. You need to take care of the careful selection of threads and tools to make the appearance of a new product comfortable and exciting.

Tools needed

So, first of all, you should choose the right tool to make the knitting process as comfortable and high-quality as possible. For hand crocheting, tools from different materials are used. These may be the following materials:

• bone;
• tree;
• plastic;
• steel.

Typically, modern needlewomen use a universal metal tool, since the steel type of the tool ensures ease of sliding of any thread along it when knitting, which is important for the technique of this process. Although it should be noted that the choice of material from which the knitting tool is made still largely depends on the personal preferences of the knitter.

Speaking about the hook number (indicated by the diameter of the tool), it should be noted that the choice of number depends on the thickness of the thread used in knitting. The requirement for selecting a tool states that the hook must be the same in diameter as the thread used for knitting, taken in two folds.

The knitting density is significantly influenced by the difference in the thickness of the tool and threads. It must be remembered that for knitting openwork napkins, hooks of large diameters and thin yarn are used.

After the choice of tool has been made, you need to select the yarn for knitting. To perform the crocheting process, the following types of threads are used:

• artificial;
• synthetic;
• natural (silk, wool, cotton).

The valuable thing about knitting napkins is that it is possible to use leftover threads or transform yarn when knitting old things into new threads suitable for subsequent use.

It is necessary to unravel old knitted items with great care and be sure to wash the threads after this. If the yarn has lost its original color, then it should be dyed, preferably with natural dyes, or supplemented with new yarn of a bright shade (this will result in a beautiful combined thread for knitting).

New yarn, except synthetic, must first be washed and then loosely wound into a ball so that it does not lose its elasticity and does not stretch. In order for the yarn to be wound into a ball loosely, it is necessary to intentionally place 2-3 fingers when winding it.

DIY making for beginners

Once the choice of threads and knitting tools has been made, you can begin to work. On the Internet you can find useful information on how to crochet a simple napkin for beginners. To begin with, the knitter needs to get acquainted with the basic techniques and techniques of crocheting, which will make it possible to create any napkin patterns you like.

Blind loops, double crochets and single crochets are used as the basis for crocheting. Having mastered them, you need to choose a knitting pattern for the napkin model you like. Napkins can be either round or square.

Openwork square

A square napkin will be an original decoration for any furniture. The product can be made from threads of different colors, but so that it does not look too colorful, it is important to choose compatible colors of yarn. The main thing is that the threads must be the same in thickness so that all rows are even. The square is knitted from the center, so the first rows require less yarn. All this should be taken into account before starting work.

So, a square crocheted napkin: a master class for beginners involves the following steps:

In order to introduce yarn of a different color into the work, it is necessary to knit the last loop of the row when connecting the end of the row with the beginning with a thread of a different color, since this loop fits into the next row of the future napkin, and it must be the same color as the entire row will be made.

Having knitted the product of the required size, you need to cut the working thread and carefully thread its end from the wrong side. Then you need to iron the product through a damp cloth.

You can decorate the product with fringe or pompoms by sewing them into the corners of the napkin square.

Round openwork

Anyone can knit this round napkin model. To do this you need:

After finishing knitting, you can sew homemade tassels along the edge of the napkin, trimming them with scissors.

Round napkin

The round shape of a knitted product is used mainly for the round base of vases, candy bowls, ashtrays, flower pots, figurines, and table clocks. This master class for beginners will show you how to crochet a napkin quickly and easily from thin yarn. The pattern of such a round openwork napkin involves knitting in the round.

The sequence of knitting steps is as follows:

The finished napkin needs to be washed, dried and ironed.

Care of finished products

Products made from cotton threads should be ironed using a damp cloth. If the product was knitted from bobbin thin cotton threads, then to give the shape, it is recommended to first starch the napkin, and only then iron it through a damp cloth.

If the product is knitted from woolen threads, then it should be lightly steamed through a wet cloth, almost without touching it with an iron, but only carefully passing it over the surface of the damp cloth. The damp cloth is then removed and the item is left on an ironing board or other flat surface until completely dry.

Knitted items made from silk, synthetic and artificial threads, generally speaking, are not steamed.

Knitted finished products, as they become dirty during use, are washed and dried, laid out on a flat surface. At the same time, during drying, it is recommended to place a piece of fabric under the wet product to better absorb moisture.

Attention, TODAY only!

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 a 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?

Crochet napkin “Bunch of Grapes”. Step-by-step master class

To work you will need 3 colors of acrylic yarn (white, green and blue) and hook number 3.

Crochet napkin: master class

We take a blue thread to knit grapes. We attach the thread to the arch and wind 7-10 elongated loops onto the hook (the number of elongated loops depends on the thickness of the thread), then we pull all the loops through the hook and secure them with a half-column. Then we knit 1-3 air loops (again depending on the thickness of the thread) and move on to a new berry.

We knit the remaining 9 berries in the same way. We cut the thread and fasten it.

And on all fans we knit the first tier of berry clusters.

Let's move on to the leaflet. First we knit 3 single crochet stitches, then 2 chain stitches, and again 3 single crochet stitches.

We knit 3 air loops to move to the bunch.

And we tie the bunch itself with connecting posts. Between the berries we knit 1-3 connecting stitches (depending on the thickness of the thread).

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.

And so we knit until we knit the entire bunch.

We cut all the ends of the threads, tuck them in and tie the entire napkin in a circle with arches of 6 air loops. We insert a hook into each loop of the previous row.

The work is done.

Filet crochet is a filet lace style knitting pattern. Using this technique, you can create truly beautiful napkins and tablecloths, as well as summer blouses and openwork scarves. And knitting them is simple and very interesting. Sirloin knitting is similar to fillet embroidery. Double crochets and chain stitches form a mesh and at the same time a pattern is knitted on it. For those who want to make a beautiful thing using the fillet knitting technique: the patterns can be seen below:

Loin knitting napkins

It’s best to start getting acquainted with the fillet knitting technique with small napkins. The peculiarity of fillet knitting is that it requires a large space for a complex and interesting pattern. Therefore, the larger the fabric, the more room for imagination in the fillet knitting technique.

The theme in loin knitting can be varied, since you can implement anything you want using this technique. The most famous styles of loin knitting are checkered fabric designs that resemble geometry. Therefore, the pattern embodied in the fillet technique looks very beautiful. The patterns for fillet crochet technique are given below:

How to master this style for beginners

The fillet mesh, which is the basis of crochet, can be simple and unfilled. But there may be a more complex option, with filling in the cells that make up the pattern. However, the possibilities of fillet knitting do not end there.

Ribbons can also be threaded into these cells, and ruffles can be knitted along the contour of these cells. Today, fillet knitting resembles a kind of imitation of fillet-guipure embroidery.

There is nothing difficult in the fillet knitting technique; you just need to strictly follow the patterns and also check the strength of the threads, and then you will get a beautiful product. You can make different things with fillet knitting: napkins, tablecloths, clothes. After all, it’s always nice to admire things made with your own hands. The main thing is to have a responsible approach to creating materials. It is important that they are done flawlessly.

To easily master fillet crochet, beginners need patterns with a full description of the pattern. You can start with a simple example, the photo is below:

We will need:

regular cotton threads No. 10 or medium-thick yarn, any neutral color;

hook No. 3-3.5;

But first of all, you need to learn how to read crochet patterns. An example of such a diagram with notations can be seen below:

Work should begin by knitting a chain of air loops. The number of stitches must be even, and one more stitch at the end to complete the row.

It is necessary to link a sample that may be useful in the future. The width of the finished product should be at least 25 cm, that is, about 30 cells or 60 loops plus 1 air loop. The length of the finished product should be 1.5 times greater than the width, about 45-50 cells.

It is important to know that the number of air loops and the number of columns does not coincide with the number of cells, but the number of rows corresponds to the number of cells in height.

Step-by-step master class with photos

You need to cast on 12 loops

Next you need to connect the chain into a ring

Then connect 2 air loops into the 3rd from the beginning

Then 5 loops in the same loop

Next you need to knit double crochets into a loop, and the result will be a neat mesh

Now the needlewomen are very lucky. After all, a huge number of magazines are sold in which you can find free patterns about loin crochet. There is also a lot of information on the Internet. Sections on fillet knitting can help you figure it out. These sections contain a lot of good diagrams and drawings that you can easily learn from. Having studied the fillet knitting technique, you will be able to amaze everyone with your wonderful works.

Experienced craftswomen choose spider-thin yarn for their work. Deftly using crochet, they knit napkins of extraordinary beauty that look more like lace. However, those who are just learning to knit should not start with thin threads.

• To prevent the thread from getting tangled, choose medium thickness yarn. Wool blend and acrylic Perfect for first jobs.
• Thread color choose depending on the interior in which the finished napkin will be used.
• Hook size usually corresponds to the thickness of the thread. But if you need the knitting to look tight, take a thinner hook; if you want to get a large knitting product, choose a thick hook. To begin with, it is better to take a hook number 1.5. If they find it inconvenient to work with, it can always be replaced with a thicker or thinner one.
• For the first napkin, choose one of the simplest patterns- It’s better to finish a simple job than to quit a difficult one.

IMPORTANT: If you need to knit a thin openwork napkin, use bobbin cotton threads and a hook No. 0.5 - 1. For napkins of medium thickness, you need “Iris” threads and a hook No. 1.5.

Tutorial for crocheting a simple napkin:

Prepare a hook and thread, study the knitting pattern.

Since the napkin is round, start knitting from the center. Knit a 12-loop chain.

Tie the ring according to the diagram.

Connect the last loop with the chain chain loop, thus completing the circle.

Go to second row. Knit 3 chain stitches, 4 double crochets into the stitches of the previous row.

Repeat the pattern.

Do not connect the last loop of the row with the first; if you connect them, the pattern will be broken.

In the third row, according to the diagram, alternate 4 chain stitches with 6 stitches + 2 double crochets. Knit the 4 middle columns so that the hook enters the base of the columns from the knitted row, knit the first and last so that the hook goes under the chain of chain loops of the knitted row.

Complete the 3rd row, like the previous one, proceed to knitting the 4th row.

In the fourth row alternate 5 chain stitches with 8 stitches + 2 double crochets.

Fifth- alternate 9 chain stitches with 10 stitches + 2 double crochets.

In the sixth- alternate 11 chain stitches with 4 stitches + 2 yarn overs, 11 chain stitches, skip 2 stitches of the previous row, 4 stitches + 2 yarn overs. At the end of the row, connect the last loop to the first.

In the seventh row knit 5 chain stitches, 15 stitches + 2 double crochets. Insert the hook under the chain stitches of the previous row. Then 5 air loops, a column under the air loops of the previous row.

At the end of the row, knit 6 chain stitches and connect the last loop to the first.

Knitting a napkin, connecting the loops at the end of the 7th row

Openwork napkins look great both on serving and coffee tables. They can be placed under candy dishes, cups, plates or fruit vases.

To make the napkins look light and delicate, take thin cotton threads and a thin hook (0.5 -1.2).

IMPORTANT: It is advisable for experienced needlewomen to use bobbin threads, but novice craftswomen should take into account that working with them is very difficult and time-consuming.

Description:

• 7th row: Move to the center of the arch, to do this, knit 9 chain loops, 1 single crochet, 7 chain loops.
• 8th row: Start from the middle of the arch. Work 3 chain stitches, 4 stitches + 1 yarn over, 3 chain stitches, 1 stitch + 1 yarn over into the next arch. Next: 3 chain stitches, 9 stitches + 1 yarn over. At the end you should get 4 stitches + 1 yarn over.
• WITH Rows 9 to 16: the pattern is similar to row 8, but carefully monitor the change in the number of columns in each row.
• Row 17: Pull the connecting thread to the last column. Knit 3 chain stitches, 4 stitches + 1 yarn over, 10 chain stitches, 5 stitches + 1 yarn over, 10 chain stitches.
• 18 row: Turn the napkin and knit in the reverse order: 3 chain stitches, 15 stitches + 1 double crochet under the arch, 1 single crochet in the stitch that is in the middle of the previous row, 16 stitches + 1 double crochet.

Every flower knit separately:

• Connect 8 air loops with a ring.
• 1st row: 3 chain stitches, 14 stitches + 1 yarn over.
• 2nd row: 12 chain loops, 1 single crochet in the 6th stitch of the previous row, 10 chain loops, 1 single crochet in the 11th stitch of the previous row, 10 chain loops.
• 3rd row: Knit the petals by turning the product over. 2 chain stitches, 1 single crochet under the first arch, 1 single crochet, 13 double crochets + 1 crochet, 1 single crochet under the 2nd and 3rd arches.

IMPORTANT: When tying the third petal of the flower, do not forget to connect it to the middle part of the napkin. Tie and connect all the flowers in this way.

Knitting borders- the final stage in the work. The border consists of 7 rows:

• 1st row: 2 chain stitches, 9 single crochet stitches, 8 chain stitches, 10 single crochet stitches in 2 flower stitches. Then do the same over each flower.
• 2nd row: 5 chain loops, 1 stitch + 1 yarn over in 3 stitches above the petal, 2 chain stitches, 1 stitch + 1 yarn over in the next 3 stitch, 2 chain loops, 1 stitch + 1 yarn over in the last stitch above the first flower, 8 chain loops. Continue on each flower as well.
• 3rd row: 3 chain stitches, 7 chain stitches + 1 yarn over, 2 chain stitches, 8 chain stitches + 1 yarn over, 2 chain stitches.
• 4th row: completely repeats the 3rd row, however, if the knitting begins to “pull”, you can add air loops yourself (it will be enough to add 1 loop each).
• 5 row: 3 chain stitches, 7 chain stitches + 1 yarn over, 10 chain stitches, 8 chain stitches + 1 yarn over, 10 chain stitches.
• 6th row: turn the knitting, knit: 3 chain loops, 15 stitches + 1 crochet in the arch of the previous row, 1 single crochet between the stitches of the previous row, 16 stitches + 1 crochet in the next arch, 1 single crochet.
• 7th row: the entire row is tying the resulting elements with single crochets.

Beautiful crocheted heart shaped napkin- a great gift for a loved one for Valentine's Day. Several identical small heart napkins can be used to create a romantic setting or for table settings.

Crocheting a heart napkin is not difficult. It is enough to carefully study the diagram, choose the right yarn and hook and follow the recommendations from the description in your work.

To knit a heart, use a thin cotton thread and a No. 1 hook. Finished product size: 15 x 20 cm.

Description of the scheme:

• Dial 10 VP, connect with a ring.
• Collect another 50 VP.
• Connect the last 50th loop with the 10th from the end so that you get a ring.
• 1 row: 3VP (needed for lifting), 19С1Н (tie the ring with them), 3С1Н tie on three loops of the chain and three air loops that were knitted for lifting. Next, knit C1H from each stitch of the entire chain. In the center of the chain, knit 3C1H on two loops. This will form a corner of the heart. Tie the rings at the end of the chain with C1H, connect the PS with 3 loops of the chain.
• 2nd row: 3VP connect the PS with three columns of the previous row, turn the napkin. Further according to the scheme: C1H in every second loop of the previous row above the rounding, above the straight element - in every third. Knit 2 chain stitches between the stitches. When you reach the corner of the heart, tie the arch 6 VP. Finish the row by connecting the last stitch with the 3rd loop of the chain.
• 3rd row: Connect 3VP with 3 columns of the previous row using PS. Turn the napkin and then knit according to the pattern C1H, one above each column of the previous row and 2C1H in the arches above the straight section. In the arches above the curves, knit 3C1H. In the corner of the heart - 12C1H. Connect the last column at the end of the row using a PS with 3 loops of the chain.
• 4 row: complete repetition of row No. 2.
• 5 row: repeat row No. 3, only knit 2C1H over the arches and curves, and 10C1H in the corner.
• 6 row: C1H, 1VP, pico, 1VP. Connect the rings when tying the second one: 1 VP, 1 RLS, 1 VP.

The result should be a heart like this:

You can connect 2 of these napkins together. You will get a cute composition:

To crochet a square napkin measuring 25x25 cm, you will need 20 g of cotton yarn and hook No. 1.

How to crochet a white openwork square and rectangular napkin: diagram with description

Description:

Main motive (repeated 16 times):

• Tie a 10 chain chain. Connect into a ring.
• 1st row: 1 VP for lifting, 15 sc in the ring, end of the row using PS.
• 2nd row: 3VP for lifting, 1 PS1N knit together with the last VP of lifting into the 1st lifting loop, 2PS1N knit together into the next RLS of the previous row, 5VP, 2PS1N knit together into the next RLS of the previous row, 2PS1N knit together into the next RLS of the previous row, 5 VP. Repeat 8 times. Finish the row with a connecting post.
• 3rd row: 4VP for lifting, 3S2N into the arch from 5VP of the previous row, 4VP, 4S2N into the same arch from 5VP, 4VP, 1 RLS into the next arch from 5VP of the previous row, 4VP, 4S2N into the next arch from 5VP of the previous row, 4VP , 4С2Н in the same arch from 5VP, 4VP, 1СБН into the next arch from 5VP of the previous row, 4 P. Repeat only 4 times. Finish the row, as before, with a connecting column.
• Next, continue working according to the diagram of the main motif, ending the rows with connecting posts.
• Connect the finished elements together, starch the finished product and leave to dry.

IMPORTANT: To get a napkin from rectangular motifs, knit not 16, but 20, 24, 28 or more repeating elements and connect them together in a certain order.

Filet knitting or fillet knitting(loin lace) is the creation of a grid, some cells of which remain empty, and some are filled. The drawing is created in a certain way, depending on how the grid cells are filled.

Fillet knitting is very simple, and the patterns are easy to read and resemble cross stitch patterns. The elements of fillet knitting patterns, as well as patterns for cross stitch, are black and white checkers, circles and crosses. Moreover, an empty cell in the diagram is always indicated by a white cell, and a filled cell can be indicated by a black cell, a cross, or a circle.

IMPORTANT: Before you start knitting a fillet napkin according to the chosen pattern, knit a small sample of 10 by 10 squares, from which you can evaluate the type and density of future work.

Knitting cells is done as follows:

• Empty – S1N, 2VP
• Filled - 3С1Н.

Any fillet knitting begins with a chain of VP.

Calculation of loops for casting:

For 1 cell – 3VP chains + 6 loops to form 1 cell of 1 row. In order not to carry out calculations, you can knit a chain of arbitrary length and start knitting cells from the beginning. Then the extra loops of the chain can be unraveled, and the missing ones can be tied up.

Video: Sirloin mesh. Adding and subtracting cells. Crochet.

IMPORTANT: The place from which work begins (starting point) is marked with an arrow on the diagrams.

Sometimes work on a fillet napkin starts from the bottom or the top. Often work begins precisely from the center, and from there it moves down and up. When you have to knit a voluminous loin, you can knit individual parts and elements, and then knit them together.

IMPORTANT: In order for a napkin knitted with fillet knit to be neat and dense, the loops must not be “loose” or stretched, otherwise the work will be uneven and the pattern will be blurry.

Knowing the decoding of the circuit (empty - С1Н, 2ВП; filled - 3С1Н), you can immediately start working.

How to crochet a voluminous napkin: description, diagram

Elegant, light, voluminous two-color napkins not only look impressive, but are also very easy to knit. The “trick” of such napkins is their two-color nature. Similar plain napkins can get “lost” in the interior, and certainly won’t attract as much attention.

To work, you will need thin cotton yarn and a No. 1 hook.

The “base” of the napkin is knitted according to an easy pattern using single crochet stitches and a VP between them.

It makes no sense to describe this process in detail.

But knitting butterflies is very similar to knitting flowers.

This pattern will have to be changed a little, otherwise the butterflies will turn out very large. Therefore, future butterflies will be knitted in single crochet stitches.

• Make a ring from 6VP.
• 1 row: 8 groups of 3C1H and 3VP between them.
• 2nd row: Turn the knitting and knit: in the arches of the previous row 2 times, 5C1H and 5VP between them.
• 3rd row: 1СБН between two groups of columns of the previous row.
• Tie the arches: 7С1Н, 2ВП, 7С1Н.
• 4 row: RLS.

The result will be a flower with uneven, curled petals. But by bending it in half, you will get a beautiful voluminous butterfly in flight.

Place the butterflies on a napkin, securing them with a thread and a needle, and enjoy the beauty and tenderness of your own creation.
