The number of crochet fans is growing every year. And not smart! Indeed, in a very short time, with the help of such a simple, at first glance, tool, you can create a lot of beautiful and original products.
There is a lot of information on this topic. There are many articles and mini-courses in various knitting magazines that describe crocheting in great detail, with patterns and useful tips for beginners. Mastering this craft is not difficult at all.
Where to start and how to end?
Crochet always starts with a chain of air loops. A loop is formed at the free end of the thread. Then a hook is threaded into it, a thread is thrown over it, grabbed and pulled back. We got a small chain of two air loops. All subsequent ones are formed in the same way. The basis of knitting is ready. Next, you should continue knitting according to the pattern.
The answer to the question of how to finish is almost self-explanatory. Crochet compares favorably with knitting needles in that in anyat the moment of the process, only one loop remains free. This allows you not to go astray and not lose loops, even for beginners. To close the loop, you need to cut the thread coming from the ball, pull it all the way through the last loop and tighten. The remaining "tail" should be carefully hidden. That's all the details on how to finish.
Crochet stitches
The basis of the fabric when crocheting is a column. It can be knitted in three basic patterns: single crochet, double crochet and half crochet.
- Single crochet. We leave two lifting air loops, insert the hook into the third one (in the direction from front to back), grab the free thread with it and pull it through the loops. There are two loops on the hook. In one motion, we stretch a free thread through them. The column is ready.
- Half-column. As in the previous version, we leave two lifting loops. But now we grab a free thread and stretch it through all the existing loops at once.
- Double crochet. This view is used to increase the row height. We leave three lifting loops (since the column is higher), throw the thread on the hook, insert it into the fourth loop, grab the free thread and pull it through the two extreme loops on the hook. Repeat the operation several times.
One column, different ways
Using only these three basic elements, but knitting them in different ways, you can get many different patterns
- The columns are knitted forthe back half-loop of the previous row, while the canvas turns out to be voluminous, with convex and concave rows.
- If you knit stitches in the front loop, the fabric remains smooth, with flat horizontal stripes.
- You can also knit the columns for purl loops: we insert the hook behind the horizontal jumper, located slightly below the top of the previous row. With this method, a pigtail is formed on the inside.
In addition to these methods, you can knit the columns split, from the bottom rows, on air loops. Deciding on the most suitable option is quite difficult, especially for those who have just started to master crocheting. Schemes and descriptions will always tell in detail all the nuances of the manufacture of a particular product.
What can be crochet?
The answer is simple: everything can be connected. First of all, with the help of a hook, women's, men's, children's clothes, as well as various decorative details and accessories for them are knitted. For example, the undeservedly forgotten "grandmother's" lace collars have recently returned to fashion. And you can also make cuffs, overhead flat and voluminous flowers.
Handmade crocheted interior items are not uncommon for a long time. It can be blankets, pillows, openwork tablecloths and napkins, even curtains and carpets. And with the help of a hook with skillful hands, you can create cute amigurumi toys.
The process of creating products with a hook is extremely exciting. It is very difficult to stop. Therefore, there is an expression“knit avidly”, that is, do it everywhere: in transport, in minute pauses while cooking in the kitchen, at work at lunchtime, etc. For many craftswomen, the question of how to finish crochet does not at all apply to end of the row - they ask how they can stop and rest for a while.
