Knitting a scarf with knitting needles: schemes and job description

An openwork scarf tied with knitting needles may beas a functional accessory, and a decorative element. Depending on the size of the product, it is used to wear on the head or on the shoulders. At the same time, a very large openwork scarf, knitted with needles, becomes a full-fledged shawl.

Types of kerchiefs

Based on the type of knitting used to make the product, several types of kerchiefs can be distinguished:

• Bound the angle.
• Made in the form of a flat cloth.

As a rule, knitting scarves with knitting needles (schemes anddescription of individual types of products follow below) is to form a web of triangular shape. The difference between different products is precisely what method is used to form corners.

General patterns of knitting kerchiefs with knitting needles

Regardless of which type of knitting is chosen by the craftsman, it is necessary to perform several obligatory actions:

1. Manufacture and measurement of a control sample.
2. Determination of the size of the future product, comparison of dimensions with the chosen pattern, as well as the calculation of loops and rows.
3. If it is a question of work of the increased complexity, for example about drawing up of a cloth from motives, it is necessary to make the schematic image of a product and to designate an arrangement of all elements.

The described recommendations are relevant for knitters withany experience and experience. Knitting for beginners, of course, is more easy to pattern and model, but the correct combination of yarn and ornament, as well as careful performance of work is important for any product.

What threatens knitting by eye?

The shortcomings of planning often cause many problems. We will give examples of the most frequent troubles that women face:

• Impossibility to place all rapports of the pattern on the canvas, "trimmed" fragments of the ornament.
• Violation of the proportions of the scarf (too sharp or, conversely, an obtuse angle).
• Unsuccessful combination of yarn and pattern, excessively dense or openwork.

Forming an angle

This method is most often used by mostknitters. Its advantages are that you can monitor the size of the scarf during its manufacture and stop working at any stage. Also here it is not necessary to knit individual elements and then to sew them together. An excellent example of such a product can serve as a kerchief in green on one of the photos.

The beginning is a set of loops for thewide edges and their gradual reduction. As an alternative, the kerchief is knit from the corner, that is, the hinges will need to be added. The length of the wide side is usually 80-100 cm, if the product is planned to be worn on the shoulders, and 50-80 cm when the scarf will play the role of a scarf. Knitting for beginners can consist in making a headscarf on the head for a child or for an adult. In this case, it is necessary to remove the appropriate measures and work with the dimensions obtained.

Angular knitting of the scarf with knitting needles (schemes and description of the process are given for the method of forming the angle by adding loops) occurs as follows:

• They pick up three loops. The first row is primed.
• In the second row, before and after the central loop, the nakids are performed (addition of two loops).
• Depending on the pattern and the desire of theKnitters can be sketched so that a beautiful hole is formed. This is true if you are doing openwork knitting kerchiefs with knitting needles. Schemes and descriptions of such products can be easily found in any specialized magazine. If desired, you can make a fabric without holes. To do this, the loops should be added by tying additional ones from the broaches between the existing ones.
• In the third (purl) row, all hinges and napids are tied, including.
• To form the correct triangular shapethe headscarfs, along with the additions at the center of each row, should be reduced at the beginning and end. This procedure is continued until the edge of the product of the required length is formed. Further, only the addition of loops is performed.
• In the same way continue to build up the canvas.
• When the length of the kerchief becomes equal to the planned size, the work should be stopped.

In this way, the product can be associated with any pattern, its rapports gradually enter the process of knitting when adding loops.

Simple knitting of a kerchief with knitting needles: schemes and description

A simpler and more understandable way of makingtriangle consists in knitting a flat cloth with the selected pattern with a gradual reduction or, conversely, the addition of loops at the beginning and end of each row. This method can be used when working with thin mohair or angora. To obtain a very light lace fabric, the patterns below are suitable.

Knitted kerchief from mohair with knitting needles is simple inmanufacture and looks very attractive. The only difficulty may be the specificity of the thread itself: because of the long nap to dissolve the finished fabric is not easy. Sometimes such a task is almost impossible, therefore, errors in the process of knitting should be avoided.
