Weaving from threads appeared at the moment people learned to spin. Each nation has its own traditions of making things in this way, most often shuttles are required for this. They are different, some can be used for different types of products, but this is not very convenient. If there are no shuttles yet, and you really want to make a wicker thing, you can start with a shuttleless weaving.
It is necessary
- - thick cotton or linen threads;
- - nail or chair back;
- - a piece of rope.
Instructions
Step 1
Start learning with simple weaving. You have probably already come across one of its types - this is an ordinary braid of three strands. But there may be not three strands, but more - the principle does not change from this. Take a piece of rope and make a loop out of it. Hook it onto the stud at the edge of the table, or hang it over the back of a chair. You can just pull the cord between some vertical posts.
Step 2
Start with something small and straightforward, like a bracelet. Cut several threads, the length of which is 2.5-3 times the length of the intended product, and fold each in half.
Step 3
Tie strands to a rope loop. To do this, run the folded thread under the rope. The fold should be at the top. Throw the loop over the rope and straighten it to form a "window". Pull both risers into it so that they wrap around the rope loop.
Step 4
Having stepped back 5-8 cm from the rope, tie all the strands together with a double knot. You can also make several knots by fastening the threads in pairs, three at a time, and so on. The beginning of weaving will become at the same time the design of the edge, then it will be enough for you to evenly cut the threads at the rope itself.
Step 5
Straighten the strands so that they lie side by side. If the cord or yarn is thick enough, weave the garment in a single strand. If you have something like "iris" or "snowflakes", the first product can be woven in 2-3 threads. Take the strand on the far left. Run it from left to right over the second strand, under the third, over the fourth, under the fifth, and so on to the end of the row.
Step 6
Draw the next strand in the same way over the next one, under the next and to the end. Thus, weave to the desired length of the product. You can finish it with the same knots as you did at the beginning.
Step 7
Having mastered the simple weaving of long and narrow things, you can do something wider. For example, a bag made of separate straps. First, make the braids - individual braids of the desired length, about 2 times the double height of the bag. In the loops formed by the initial knots and the beginning of weaving, thread the cord and secure it to something. Follow the same principle as a braid from a large number of strands. Do not pull on the braids, the bag should come out flat. Finish with knots. Fold the bag in half and crochet the side seams with single crochets or half crochets.
Step 8
To trim the edge, you can knit the same tape and attach it with a crochet. For pens, fold a few threads together. They should be slightly longer than the handle. Tie the end of the thread from the ball to the beginning of the handle. Take the bundle of thread in your left hand and the ball in your right. Slip the thread from the ball over the bun, then run it underneath. You should now have a loop on the top of the handle. Draw a ball into it and tighten so that the knot is at the bottom. Tie the entire handle in the same way. Attach them to the bag with a crochet hook or sew on.
