Original and cute beads, knitted with your own hands, will perfectly complement a simple knitted dress or jumper. In addition, they will certainly enhance the mood of their mistress.
It is necessary
- - large beads;
- - multi-colored acrylic yarn;
- - knitting needles or hook.
Instructions
Step 1
To create knitted beads, bright acrylic or mohair yarn or thin cotton threads, for example, "Iris", are suitable. You can knit them both with knitting needles and with a hook.
Step 2
Knit small squares in garter stitch (knit all rows). Paint the beads with acrylics to match the yarn. When the paint dries, wrap the beads in tied squares and gently pull off. String the beads or a thread folded in half, or a thin ribbon, and fasten each bead with knots on both sides. The length of the beads should be such that you can freely put them over your head. Tie the thread. Now you can decorate your outfit with beads.
Step 3
If you prefer crocheting, then this is perhaps the best way to make crochet beads. Tie yarn around each bead. To do this, make a chain of three air loops and knit in a circle, adding loops evenly in each row. In the first row, knit ten loops, in the second, knit two columns in every second loop. In the third - two columns in every third. In the fourth row, do not add loops. Tying to the middle, insert the bead and continue to knit in single crochet, making decreases. At the end of knitting, fasten the thread. Tie the required number of beads. They can be of different sizes and shades. Next, string the beads on a thread, securing each of them with knots on both sides.
Step 4
If you do not have large beads, use a padding polyester or cotton wool, with which to stuff the tied balls, but in this case the beads will be very light and can behave on clothes in the most unexpected way. Another way is to use food-grade foil. Cut small squares out of it and roll into balls of the desired diameter. Make holes in the resulting details using an awl.
