Knitting can be useful for you to create appliques and various decorations that make your clothes unique and original. In the crochet technique, it is very easy to knit alphabet letters - with these letters you can decorate a home holiday, and by knitting small letters, you will make an unusual applique on your child's clothes.
Instructions
Step 1
Try to learn knitting using any of the letters of the alphabet - for example, the letter "F". For convenience, knit the letter so that its finished size is about 20 cm high. All letters are knitted with ordinary double crochets or single crochets, which tie a chain of air loops. Cast on a chain of 45 chain stitches and additionally cast on a lifting loop.
Step 2
Tie a loose, neat chain, then work ten rows of straight single crochet stitches. At the end of each row, knit an air lift loop. Cut the thread and secure it. You have a knitted strip - the base of one letter.
Step 3
In order to give the letter the desired shape (for example, the shape of the letter "F"), at 22 loops from the top edge of the main strip, knit a chain of thirty air loops. From the top edge of the main strip, count five to six loops, and fasten your chain on the selected loop with a connecting half-column, forming a semicircular shape on one side of your letter.
Step 4
At the end of each row, knit a connecting chain stitch and start tying the chain around the outside edge. First knit ten single crochets, then three crochets, then one slingshot, two double crochets, one slingshot, three single crochets, and ten single crochets.
Step 5
Go to the second row of knitting - knit nine single crochets, one double crochet, twelve slingshots, one double crochet and nine single crochets. Continue knitting until you have knitted six neat rows forming one F semicircle.
Step 6
Then, similar to the first semicircle, tie the second one, on the opposite side of your base strip. Tie the letter around the contour with single crochets with contrasting thread.
