A beautiful and warm shawl will make cold winter days cozy, and will also be a wonderful decoration for your look, both on the way out and at home. Even a beginner knitter can knit such a shawl in order to please himself or loved ones with an elegant and functional accessory.
It is necessary
- - yarn;
- - ring needles;
- - sequins.
Instructions
Step 1
In order to knit a winter shawl, choose a thick and thick yarn for it, and for a decorative openwork shawl, use a thin cotton or viscose yarn. Use circular knitting needles for knitting, and prepare sequins to decorate the shawl, if desired.
Step 2
First, calculate the number of loops that will be knitted - cast ten loops on the knitting needles and knit ten rows with the same pattern that you will knit a shawl with. Determine how many loops there are per centimeter of fabric, and then calculate how many loops you need to dial when starting to knit a shawl.
Step 3
Having determined the number, cast on the loops, noting which loop will be the central one, and which two loops will be edging. Knit in knit and crochet stitches. Knit five rows with the front stitch, and then crochet in front of each front loop. Thus, knit the sixth row with the yarns, and in the seventh row alternate the front loop and the yarn, which can be removed without knitting.
Step 4
If you want the shawl to become not just a home accessory, but also a worthy addition to an elegant suit, try alternating ordinary yarn with shiny lurex thread in knitting, changing the yarn on the knitting needles after a certain number of rows, depending on the total size of the shawl.
Step 5
In the middle of the shawl, knit three loops together to shape the shawl, using the center loop of the first row that you marked at the beginning of knitting. Decrease the stitches as you knit until you have three stitches in the last row. The shawl will be a triangle.
Step 6
In order for it to take its final shape, soak it in water and dry it by spreading it on a flat surface and securing it with pins. Sew sequins to the finished shawl.
