A beautiful shawl can decorate any outfit. Depending on the type of yarn from which the product is made, it can be elegant or casual. Warm shawls are knitted from voluminous wool, warming in cold winter. A shawl can be knitted from a thin viscose thread, which will successfully complement an open summer sundress.
Instructions
Step 1
We suggest knitting an elegant shawl trimmed with shiny sequins and fringes. Even a beginner knitter can easily cope with this work, since the entire product is made with hosiery and crochet loops.
Before starting work, you need to calculate the total number of loops in knitting. To do this, cast ten loops on the knitting needles and knit 10 rows with a pattern that will be used for knitting a shawl.
Step 2
Calculate the number of stitches per 1 centimeter of knitting. Based on this, the total number of loops that must be dialed to start knitting will be calculated. How to knit a shawl to get a beautiful thing without much financial expense? Use fancy decorative elements in the finished product - embroidery, brushes, sequins, even fur.
Step 3
Cast on the needles a symmetrical number of loops, plus one center loop and two hem. Knitting is done with knit stitches and rows of crochet stitches. Knit five rows. In the sixth row, in front of each loop, make a yarn over. The seventh, purl row, knit as follows - front, remove the yarn without knitting. As a result, you should have loops slightly longer than in the previous rows.
Step 4
Alternate between black yarn and lurex yarn in knitting. It is better to change the yarn every seven rows. But you can choose another alternation scheme. In order for the finished shawl to take on the desired shape, three loops need to be knit together in the middle. In the first row of knitting, mark the loop in the center so that it is easier not to get lost in the count. In every second row, knit three stitches together in the center. Continue knitting until there are three stitches left on the needles. The shawl is finished.
Step 5
Now she needs to shape. As a result, you should get a triangle with smooth edges. Lightly dampen the finished product and stretch it on a soft surface, pinning along the edges with a pin. Leave to dry.
Step 6
Now that the shawl is ready, you can start decorating. Take a fine needle and silk thread. Use them to sew sequins to the shawl, distributing them evenly over the surface of the shawl. From golden yarn, cut the brushes 10-15 centimeters long. Crochet the edges of the shawl, first with single crochets, and then with a crochet border. Fasten ready-made brushes between the protruding parts of the border.
