Scarf or snood

Looks beautiful from fancy yarn with cells. Even without experience in knitting, it can be made in a couple of hours. Delicate, elegant, it looks unusual, and it fits very simply with knitting needles and crochet. At the beginning of the work, we carefully stretch the yarn with both hands of the required width. We introduce a spoke into each cell of the upper row and then with a garter stitch to the end. This type is used not only for making openwork scarf, but also for creating a lace element in the canvas .

Ruffles for clothes

Decorative flounces and ruffles connected on a skirt, dress or blouse look fervently and cheerfully. A stunning effect will create their use on a fashionable handbag. On one edge is a thread, divided into segments. It is them that need to be worn on a spoke . Having typed the desired length, we knit the front loops with another knitting needle. We rotate 180 degrees and continue to work with purl loops. The knitting is simple, performed in the usual way. Thus, we knit the required number of rows to create frills.

Even rows must be performed with purl loops so that all the ruffles are on the front side.

Children's skirt

In a skirt for a little princess, two types of yarn can be combined: ordinary and fancy. Model to choose any. But the most interesting will be knitting the yoke with stocking or elastic, and the lush bottom should be framed in several rows with ruffles. The technique is crocheted or knitted.

The speed of execution, even average, will allow the next day to boast of an update in front of friends and colleagues. The larger the knitting needles, the more loose the product will be. Knits with a garter stitch, armhole and neck with elastic.

Openwork crochet will add airiness and effect. The economical consumption of yarn, not more than a hundred-gram hank, will make it possible to roam your imagination . Updating your wardrobe always requires new ideas. This thing is successfully combined with any elements of clothing: dress, skirt, trousers, jeans.
