A cobweb is a thin openwork downy shawl or shawl. This incredibly beautiful and elegant thing can decorate any outfit and add special charm to its owner.
It is necessary
- - 150 g of goat down yarn;
- - knitting needles number 2-2, 5.
Instructions
Step 1
Since the stitches will be quite large when knitting, use knitting needles with large stoppers at the ends. This will prevent the stitches from slipping off the knitting needle.
Step 2
Choose wooden spider knitting needles. It is very convenient to knit it on bamboo knitting needles. In addition, try not to use too long knitting needles, it will be inconvenient to knit with them.
Step 3
For knitting a thin and openwork shawl, a very fine yarn is required. Ideally, it should be hand-spun down yarn, but thin angora or kid mohair will do.
Step 4
Before you start knitting, knit the pattern so you can correctly calculate the density. The cobwebs fit loosely. Such loose knitting is achieved by knitting the fabric with thin yarn on thick knitting needles.
Step 5
The cobwebs are knitted with a variety of openwork patterns: "braids", "chervonki", "polka dots", "fish" and many others. Knitting patterns for traditional patterns for knitting the Orenburg downy spider web can be found on the website
Step 6
Start knitting at the hem. Cast on 21 sts. In the first row, knit 5, purl 2, then another thirteen knit. Do one broach (the row will increase by one loop).
Step 7
Then knit according to the pattern, adding broaches at the beginning of every second row. Thus, you should end up with a slanted edge.
Step 8
Knit further according to the pattern until the size is ½ the width of the shawl. This will be half of the cobweb.
Step 9
Next, knit in a mirror image, and instead of increments, make decreases at the end of even rows, one loop at a time. In the last row, close all loops straight.
Step 10
Wash the finished cobweb with hair shampoo in warm water, wring it out slightly and do not twist it. Carefully so as not to stretch the canvas, lay it on a flat surface on a soft cloth. Pin the ends of the garment with pins and let dry.
