Delicate crocheted lace doilies create a cozy atmosphere even in a very modestly furnished room. One involuntarily recalls the caring grandmother's hands, who knew how to do everything, including how to create beauty from the most ordinary things. There was a time when knitted napkins, together with homespun rugs and porcelain figurines, were declared philistine and disappeared from many homes. Then this beautiful old art was revived again, and now knitted napkins can be seen even in the most respectable houses.

Instructions
Step 1
The basis of any napkin is a circle. Tie a chain of several chain stitches and close it in a circle. The number of loops depends on the size of the napkin and on how delicate the pattern will be. In any case, the chain should not be shorter than 5 loops and longer than 10. Tie 2 chain loops on the rise, and then several posts in a ring. The posts can be crocheted or single crocheted. You should have a flat ring, evenly filled with posts. In this case, the ring should not wrinkle.
Step 2
The next rows can be knitted, as your fantasy tells you. You can tie another 1-2 rows with double crochets, evenly adding loops. Add loops every 5-7 stitches, knitting 2 double crochets in the previous row. In this case, it is necessary to ensure that the napkin remains flat, and the number of additions can be varied. You can knit a row after the first row with arcs. After you have knitted the first ring, tie 2 chain stitches, and then a chain of 3-5 chain stitches. Secure the chain with a half-column through 2-3 columns of the previous row. Tie the same chains around the circle. Fasten the last chain in a loop on the rise. Tie the next row with double crochets, which you knit into the arcs of the previous row. The arcs, just like the central ring, should be filled with columns, but not shrink or wrinkle.
Step 3
The next circle can be done, for example, with single crochets, knitting them into the columns of the previous row. If the napkin begins to wrinkle, tie chains of air loops between the groups of columns. Alternating air loops with rows of double crochets or without crochet, knit a napkin to the desired size. With arcs filled with posts, you can napkin and finish.
Step 4
You can also knit a long napkin from several motifs. First tie an openwork flower for the center. They knit it in about the same way as the described round napkin. Then tie 2 smaller flowers. You can use the same version of the pattern, but make the middle and arcs smaller in the side motives. The motives are connected with each other by air loops. The napkin can be tied around the edge with single crochets, or you can even make a wide oval ring, combining different types of posts and arcs.
