A neatly knitted product is very beautiful in itself. But sometimes he lacks small accessories that can revive a solid background. This is especially true for children's clothing. To decorate a child's dress or blouse, you can, for example, knit one or more small cheerful flowers.
Each needlewoman has very small skeins of yarn, threads sometimes only a few tens of centimeters long. It is a pity to throw them away, but it is also difficult to adapt for knitting. But you can, for example, knit small flowers out of them, which are perfect for decorating children's and even adult clothes, hats, handbags, etc.
Such decor can be made as small residues of yarn appear, and then used as needed. By the way, it is more convenient to store it than small balls or skeins of thread.
Knitting a flower core
Tie 5 stitches and close the chain into a ring Instead of a loop of air loops, you can use a so-called sliding loop. Many needlewomen prefer this particular method - by tightening it, you can achieve an ideally tight size of the base ring. To perform such a loop, fold the thread into a ring, insert the hook into it from the bottom up; grab a working thread - this will be a yarn. Re-insert the hook into the ring and grab the working thread. Next, knit like a regular double crochet.
Tie 12 double crochets over a slip loop or loop of air loops and close in a circle. This can be done with a crochet hook. Insert a hook between the first and second base posts from the front to the wrong side, grab the thread and pull it through. Next, insert the hook from the wrong side to the right side into the lifting loops and pull the thread in the opposite direction. Secure the tip with a sea knot. The core of the flower is ready.
Knitting flower petals
Take a thread of a different color, matching in tone with the core of the future flower. Insert the crochet hook into one of the top stitches of the double crochet ring and knit 3 chain stitches. In the next loop, work 3 double crochets, and then 3 chain stitches again.
Fasten a chain of 3 air loops into the next loop of the ring using a connecting post. Thus, 6 petals of a flower are knitted. At the end of knitting, fasten the thread. This is best done with a so-called surgical site. Hide the tip.
Of course, the resulting flowers are one of the easiest and fastest ways to decorate a knitted or even sewn product. You can, if desired, tie more complex flowers, including those consisting of several tiers. Schemes for such decorative elements can be found on the Internet. But the plus of small flowers is that they do not overload the product, they can be arranged in a chaotic manner along the surface of the bodice or skirt, grouped, made up of them compositions, supplemented with leaves, cords, etc.
