Instructions
Step 1
If you are going to crochet curtains, choose a knitting technique - sirloin, Irish or Vologda lace, tatting.
Step 2
Select a specific pattern to be used for the product and knit a test pattern, which can be used to calculate the knitting density. It should be remembered that the sample must be at least 10x10 cm in size, then it must be washed and ironed, and only then measure the sample and calculate the knitting density.
Step 3
The next preparatory stage is measuring the dimensions of the window itself, for which the curtain will be crocheted (height and width), as well as determining the finished length of the product. In this case, consider the options for attaching the curtain to the cornice, the presence of loops or hooks.
Step 4
When knitting a curtain from a finished model, accurately match the dimensions of the window for which the finished product is recommended. When knitting using the fillet lace technique, making a pattern is optional, but a desirable stage of preparation; when knitting in an Irish technique, it is imperative to make both a pattern and a preliminary sketch - this will help you calculate a specific number of different elements, and then arrange them for connection into a finished product … When knitting using the Vologda lace technique, it is imperative that a complete or partial cleavage of the thing is done, according to which work will be done, imitating knitting on bobbins.
Step 5
The knitting process itself usually occurs when the finished product is made with a common cloth or its parts - when knitting on a sirloin mesh, when knitting using the Vologda lace technique, several cords of sufficient length are first knitted, from which the finished product will be made using a hook of a smaller diameter. In Irish knitting, you must first make all the elements that will be used in the pattern. They will be connected into a product only at the final stage.
Step 6
Wash the finished garment according to the thread manufacturer's recommendations and dry completely. Then iron the curtain with a steaming iron and leave on a horizontal surface until completely dry and cool. Only then proceed with attaching the curtains to the cornice.
