The shawl never goes out of style. And no wonder. An openwork shawl can make even the most modest everyday outfit sophisticated, and at the same time it is warm in it. It can be crocheted or knitted.
It is necessary
- Medium wool
- Knitting needles number 2
- Hook number 2
- Ruler
Instructions
Step 1
The shawl is a large openwork triangle, which can be knitted either from the “hypotenuse” or from the right angle. Cast on 20 stitches on the needles and knit a pattern of openwork mesh. 1 row - all loops are facial;
2 row - all purl loops;
3rd row: 1 front *, 2 together front, 1 yarn *.
4 row - all purl loops.
Step 2
Start knitting from the longest side of the shawl. Cast on the knitting needles in the usual way. Work 4 rows without decreasing stitches.
Step 3
From the 5th row, begin to decrease the loops. This can be done in two ways. You can mark the center loop at the very beginning of knitting by knitting it with the purl along the front row and the front one with the purl. In this case, the number of loops on one and the other side of the center loop should be equal. Make sure that the pattern does not break at this place - if the first half ends with two loops tied together, then the second half must also start with two loops tied together, and not with a yarn. Decrease the loops by knitting 3 loops together along the midline - 1 loop from the first half, center, 1 loop from the second half. Do this every two rows - for example, on the purl rows. You can reduce it so that the line is not noticeable, that is, knitting with the purl along the purl row, the front along the front. But you can make this line contrasting if you knit 3 loops together in the purl, and knit the front row according to the pattern.
Step 4
Decrease the loops until there are 3 loops on the needles. Knit them together, cut off the thread and tighten the loop.
Step 5
Crochet the shawl by crocheting a row or two around the entire perimeter with crochet stitches. You can make a wider braid along the edge, and teeth. But if you are tying the shawl with cloves, then the fringe is not needed.
Step 6
Create a fringe. It can be crocheted along a ruler by pulling the loops and securing. In one case, these will be thin brushes, consisting of only two threads. Cut the yarn into even pieces. Fold the thread in half. Thread the resulting loop into the loop of the pattern with a crochet so that it protrudes 2-2.5 centimeters. Insert the hook into the loop formed by the thread and pull both free ends of the thread so that they catch the edge of the shawl. Tighten the loop.
