Very often, openwork napkins, shawls, blouses and dresses are crocheted from individual motifs - circles, squares, triangles or flowers. The knitting is very elegant. But such a product will look beautiful and elegant only if the motives are collected and connected neatly. The question always arises of how to connect them together. This can be done in several ways.
It is necessary
- - slightly unfinished knitting motifs;
- - threads from which the product is knitted;
- - pattern;
- - a needle;
- - bobbin threads to match the product or the same yarn wound in a smaller number of threads;
- - hook.
Instructions
Step 1
The descriptions usually indicate from what number of motives the product is connected. This does not mean at all that you need to knit all the circles at once, and then fasten them together. You can, of course, do this, but then the motives, most likely, will not have to be tied, but sewn together. In order to be able to knit them with half-columns, simple columns or double crochets, make several motives without tying the last row.
Step 2
Arrange the circles in the order in which you will attach to each other, and mentally number them. It is most convenient to start tying motives from the middle of the part. Take circle # 1 and continue the last row to where circle # 2 attaches to it. Define on the second element the place with which it will be attached to the first. Insert your hook into this column and draw out the working thread. Depending on the pattern, pull it directly into the loop already on the hook, knit two loops together, or make a double crochet.
Step 3
Continue knitting the first circle to where motif # 3 attaches to it. Bind it in the same way as the second one. Attach 2-3 more motives in the same way, depending on the scheme. The circle is complete. The first motive is now connected completely according to the scheme, but this cannot be said about all the others. Go to motive # 2. Tie it to the place where the next circle is attached to it. It may turn out that it is necessary to fasten together the elements already tied to the first circle. This is done in exactly the same half-column, simple column, or double crochet.
Step 4
If you have already imposed a lot of circles along with the last row, you can do it in several ways. Pin the motifs on the pattern so that they touch each other. Choose a thread that matches the exact color of the garment. You can take the same threads by dividing the strand into several parts. Sew the circles with a seam "over the edge", making 2-3 tight stitches at each connection point. Fasten the thread.
Step 5
When knitting free-form products, where a few extra centimeters will not spoil the appearance, you can knit individual motives in the same way as in the first case. To do this, you will have to make an additional row. It is better to tie it with half-columns and attach the rest of the motives with them. The pattern in this case changes slightly, and the product itself becomes a little wider than intended.
