A downy shawl is a unique product. Indeed, despite its seeming subtlety, it is very warm. Looking at him, it seems that it is simply beyond the power of an ordinary person to tie such a miracle. But professional knitters can create such a masterpiece in just a couple of days.
It is necessary
special wool obtained only from a certain type of sheep, steel knitting needles
Instructions
Step 1
In fact, knitting a downy shawl will not be difficult for you if you have certain knitting skills, that is, you know the main types of loops (front and back), know how to make yarns and close the product. As for the fluff, here you can go in two ways. The first is to buy ready-made yarn. The second is to prepare it yourself.
Step 2
If you decide to process the fluff yourself, then you will need an electric spinning wheel, cotton threads in the color of the fluff, and two brushes for combing. Prepare down on the assumption that about 250 grams of yarn goes to a medium-sized white shawl. First you need to wash it in warm water using shampoo. The main condition is to wash not the whole piece, but separating small lumps from it. In water, wool should be straightened, in no case squeezing or twisting. After washing, the fluff needs to be dried and combed, and then, using a spinning wheel, tighten it on the threads. The yarn is ready.
Step 3
When starting to knit, remember that a real downy shawl does not have to be fluffy. It is very soft to the touch, but only becomes fluffy with use. You need to knit a scarf according to the scheme. This can be done in two ways. The first is to first knit the main canvas, and then tie it with a border. To do this, you need to dial the required number of loops on the needles and knit a straight fabric. For those who are already more or less experienced knitters, there is an option to try to knit the main fabric with a pattern, using loops, twisting and other decoration methods. The border also needs to be knitted according to the pattern, using the same decrease in loops closer to the end of knitting.
Step 4
If you are going to knit with a single fabric along with the border, the teeth of the border must be knitted by gradually recruiting the stitches on the knitting needle with the help of crochets. Then you need to close part of the loops. This is how a tooth is formed. All other patterns are knitted in the same way. Then knit the main fabric in any way you like.
