Downy kerchiefs are of two types: a simple gray shawl (thick, incredibly warm and cozy), as well as a cobweb - beautiful and delicate, with an intricate pattern. However, they all fit according to the same principle.
It is necessary
- - 50-100 g of goat down yarn;
- - straight needles number 3, 5.
Instructions
Step 1
It is quite difficult to buy goat down yarn in a store, but it can be purchased from needlewomen who sell kerchiefs, scarves and shawls of their own production on the market.
Step 2
As a basis for spinning a down thread, a cotton thread-base is used, first a dense thread is spun from goat's down, and then strained onto a thread-base. Such yarn is very warm, so the product knitted from it can protect from the most severe frost.
Step 3
There are several ways to knit a fluffy scarf. It can be knitted starting from the corner, or from one of the sides. But it is more convenient to knit from its base, the length of which can vary from 80 to 100 cm, depending on your desire.
Step 4
Before you start knitting the garment, take some control samples to calculate the knitting density and the number of loops to set. For the best of them, make a calculation.
Step 5
Cast on the required number of loops, based on the length of the base of the scarf, and knit one row with the main pattern. If this is your first product made of fluff, then you should not immediately knit with a complex fantasy pattern, first try to knit it with garter stitch, and make a crochet pattern around the edges.
Step 6
Starting with the second row, decrease at the beginning and end of each row. To do this, remove the edge loop (pull it longer so that the edge of the scarf is not pulled together or twisted), knit the next 2 loops together. Next, knit a row according to the picture.
Step 7
Thus, knit 3 rows with decreases, in the 4th straight without decreasing, and then again 3 rows with decreases and 1 row straight. Knit in this manner until you have an isosceles triangle. Close the last 3 loops.
Step 8
Spread the finished product on a flat surface covered with a cloth, shape it and pin it with safety pins to the bedding. Cover with a damp iron and iron gently with a hot steam iron. Do not remove the kerchief until it has completely cooled down.
Step 9
Tie the finished thing around the edges with cloves using a crochet hook. It is not necessary to fluff up the kerchief specially. In the process of wearing, it will become fluffy itself.
