Modern manufacturers of knitting materials are always ready to please customers with different types of fancy yarns. Dantel's yarn has recently become very popular.
Knitting yarns such as dantela are commonly used to knit ruffles to clothing and furnishings. Dantela is used to create elegant, airy scarves that can be worn all year round. True, in order to learn how to knit them, certain skills are required.
Dantela can be attributed to ribbon yarn. But because of the loops, it has a rather loose structure. The edge of the tape is very similar to a fringe, and the mesh can stretch up to ten centimeters wide. Dantela's lush fiber structure is created with this mesh.
In order to knit a scarf from the specified yarn, you first need to dial the required number of loops along the horizontally elongated edge of the ribbon. In this case, the knitting needles are threaded into the upper loop of the mesh. After a set of loops, you should unfold the knitting and knit every second free loop with the front one. After that, you need to unfold the knitting again and knit the next row only with front loops. But you can close the loops in the standard way, which is used in normal knitting. The tail will need to be hemmed to the base with a thread of the most suitable color. A similar knitting method is recommended by the Dantel yarn manufacturer. For example, if you cast on six loops, you get a scarf about one and a half meters long. You can also make the thing much more dense if you use every free loop. In this case, the scarf should be fluffy, but less airy. Here, everyone independently chooses what is preferable to him - a lush or dense scarf.
Before you start knitting a product with Dantel yarn, you should familiarize yourself with some of the general features of knitting with this yarn. Here is some of them:
- there is no need to knit edge loops;
- the typesetting edge is allowed to start not from the first loop of the horizontal row, but from the bottom edge;
- when turning, knitting can be twisted so that the shuttlecocks lie in a circle;
- you can use knitting needles of any size, because the width of the loop does not change;
- should be knitted on circular knitting needles, as loops will fall from detachable ones;
- Dantela can be combined with other types of fancy yarns.
By the way, when combining Dantela with other types of yarn, you can get very interesting knits. These features of knitting with the described yarn must be taken into account.
