For a long time lace has captivated people with its beauty and airiness. Lace is used everywhere - in the interior, in the decoration of premises, and of course, in clothes and accessories. To create your own lace, you don't have to learn how to weave it on a special machine. If you know how to crochet, you can knit a beautiful openwork fabric that is no different from braided lace. To crochet lace, you will need a fairly thin and soft yarn, as well as a crochet hook of the appropriate diameter.
Instructions
Step 1
Tie a chain of air loops of the required length - any crocheting begins with such a chain. To tie the stitches, tie a small loop at the end of the working thread and thread the crochet hook into it.
Step 2
Then hook the working thread and pull it through the first loop. You have knitted the first chain stitch - continue to pull the working thread through the loops until the chain is the correct size. To crochet a half-column, insert the hook into the loop of the base, hook the working thread and pull it through two loops - the loop of the base and the loop on the hook.
Step 3
A single crochet is knitted in a similar way, only the working thread is pulled through the loop of the base, after which it is hooked again and pulled through both loops that are on the hook.
Step 4
To tie a crochet stitch, put a working thread over the crochet hook and insert it into the loop of the base, then pick up the working thread and pull it through the loop of the base and loop from the crochet. Pick up the working thread again and pull it through the two loops on the hook. To make the stitches higher, increase the number of crochets according to the pattern. All these posts are used in knitting lace patterns.
Step 5
There are also unfinished posts with one or more crochets. These stitches are knitted together. To complete them, yarn over and insert the hook into the loop of the base. Hook the thread and pull it through the loop of the base, then hook the thread again and knit the two loops on the hook.
Step 6
Make another yarn over and insert the crochet into the next loop of the base and repeat the steps above. The last step is to knit all the loops left on the hook, the number of which exceeds the number of stitches.
Step 7
Also in lace knitting, a fluffy column is often used. To tie it, insert the crochet hook into the loop of the warp, hook the working thread and stretch the loop a little more than a centimeter long. Make a yarn over again and insert the crochet into the same loop of the base, then pull out another long loop.
Step 8
Repeat pulling the loop again so that you have three loops, and knit them in two steps. Hold the loops with your finger so as not to tighten them - then you will get a fairly lush knitting.
