Crochet round napkin for beginners. Simple and beautiful crochet napkins with knitting patterns

Good afternoon, dear needlewomen!

Crocheting napkins for beginners is not at all difficult, as it might seem at first glance.

Crocheting is an exciting, fascinating activity, especially if you see photographs and patterns of very beautiful openwork napkins in magazines and on the Internet, you just want to knit such beauty with your own hands! Often these ideas are published without a detailed description and it is not always clear how to knit.

Today we will learn how to knit napkins and read patterns using a simple small napkin as an example. I have prepared for you a detailed step-by-step description with photos.

Which yarn to choose for knitting napkins

Crocheting napkins for beginners is better to start with thicker yarn (but not very thick) so as not to get tangled in the threads.

For example, half-wool or acrylic.

We select the hook according to the thickness of the thread. This is done by trial method: if you take a very thin hook, then knitting with thick yarn will be difficult, almost impossible. A crochet hook with a very large number will result in a napkin that is too full of holes.

For knitting a thick napkin, a hook with number 2 - 2.5 is suitable. But, again, I repeat, do not strictly follow what is written. Try it, choose the option that you think is more convenient.

It’s better to start by choosing the simplest patterns for crocheting a napkin.

Crocheted small napkins can be used as a coaster for glasses and cups. White or multi-colored napkins will look good on the table.

Well, in the future, for knitting openwork napkins, it is better to use thin cotton bobbin threads, such as those used for sewing (No. 0-10). The product will be soft and airy.

In this case, the hook should also be taken with the smallest number 0.5 or 1.

You can also knit napkins from thicker cotton yarn such as Iris, Violet and others; a hook size of 1.2-1.5 is suitable.

So, how to crochet a napkin?

Doily crochet tutorial for beginners

This is our napkin pattern. I specifically chose a small and simple scheme for beginners.

On the corresponding page you can always find the Conventions used in diagrams and text descriptions.

So, let's begin! I will write a description, and you will knit a napkin and ask questions in the comments.

1 . Knitting a round napkin always begins from its center: with a set of chain of air loops. (Conventionally designated as VP). In the diagram, air loops are indicated in the form of a small loop or a small circle (dot).

For this napkin we knit a chain of 12 chain stitches.

Then we connect the first and last loops with a half-column to make a ring.

We knit a napkin in a circle in one direction from right to left.

2 . Knitting each row usually begins with a set of several air loops, this is necessary to lift the row so that it is even and not beveled and crooked . The required number of loops is indicated in the diagram.

In this case, in the first row we knit 3 air loops (VP) for lifting.

The icon following the VP in the diagram indicates a double crochet. But I decided to knit two yarn overs, so my further description will differ slightly from the diagram. But this is not important, you can knit with one or two yarn overs. And the designation C2H means two double crochets.

We tie the ring according to the pattern with 32 double crochets. We insert the hook inside the ring.

We connect the last column with a chain of 3 air loops (VP), cast on at the beginning of the row, with a half-column (PS).

3 . We knit the remaining rows, looking at the diagram

In the second row: 3 chain stitches (VP), 4 double crochets (C2H) in each stitch of the previous row and so on.

I made a little mistake here and at the beginning of the row I only knitted three stitches.

There is no need to connect the last loop of the row to the first, as is usually the case when knitting napkins. Starting from the third row to the 6th in this napkin, the air loops at the beginning of the row not only serve as lifting rows, but are also an element of the pattern, i.e. there is a smooth transition from the previous row to the next.

3rd row: alternate 4 air loops (VP) and 6 double crochets (C2H). We see in the diagram that when knitting the middle 4 columns, the hook must be inserted into the base of the columns of the previous row, and we knit the first and sixth column by inserting the hook under the chain of chain loops of the previous row.

4th row: alternate 5 air loops (VP) and 8 double crochets (C2H).

5th row: we alternate 9 air loops (VP) and 10 double crochets (C2H).

6th row: alternate

11 air loops (VP),

4 double crochets (C2H) at the base of the previous row, 11 VP,

skip 2 stitches of the previous row and knit 4 C2H ( remember the designations - four double crochets) at the base of the last four repeat columns of the previous row ( rapport - a repeating part of a pattern),

at the end of row 5 VP, we connect the last one with an arc from VP connected at the beginning of the row, with a single crochet.

7th row:

* 5 VP,

15 double crochets (C2H) under the arch of air loops of the previous row ( those. we insert the hook under the arch from the VP),

single crochet under the arch from the VP of the previous row * .

At the end of the row, knit 6 VPs and connect them to the beginning of the row with a single crochet.

Noticed the sign * in recording? This means that the rapport knitting described between two * , you need to repeat several times (instead of the word “alternate”, which I used in the description of knitting the 3-6th rows).

8th row:

double crochet (C2H) at the base of the first column of the previous row,

picot from 4 VPs (in we knit a chain of four air loops, then we connect the first and last loop together with a single crochet, you get a small ring, or rather not even a ring, but a small lump),

For clarity, watch the video tutorial from Knitting Lessons Crochet and knitting

C2H to the base of the third column of the previous row (we skip the second column of the previous row) and so on ( look at the diagram).

There will be 8 columns in total with picots between them.

single crochet under the arch from the VP of the sixth row*.

4 .We break and fasten the thread, carefully hide the end of the thread from the inside, pulling it with a hook under the posts.

Our little napkin is ready! The napkin needs to be starched, straightened and ironed.

I also made a video on crocheting this napkin with a voice analysis of the knitting pattern. Maybe this will make it clearer for someone.


Did you find crocheting napkins for beginners difficult or not very difficult? Write in the comments. I hope my photos, videos and detailed descriptions helped you. If you have any questions, ask, I will definitely answer everyone.

In addition, you can take a look at this video on knitting a hexagon with a very similar pattern.

By the way, the ring is made in a different way at the beginning of knitting.

You can try, for example, knitting a beautiful napkin - a daisy in a very simple pattern, or small square motifs that can serve as coasters, and you can also make wonderful beautiful pillow covers from them.

Knitted napkins are now often used in modern interior decor, and not only on their own, but also to create various compositions and panels. I wish you success in mastering their knitting!

With this article we are opening a new category on our website website:. Before you start crocheting napkins yourself, let’s look at the rules and tips that are important for beginning craftswomen, which will serve as a starting point into the world of needlework. You will learn what shapes napkins come in and how they are formed, how to correctly give the final shape to a knitted napkin, how to pick up a hook and start knitting the fabric, what types of loops are used during work and what symbols are most often found in patterns.


POPULAR SHAPE OF KNITTED NAPKINS

▪ Round and oval napkins:

Round.
The beginning of knitting the fabric is the middle. First you need to collect air loops and close them in a ring. Then we begin to evenly add loops and knit in the round. As a rule, the fabric of round napkins is formed from repeating pattern elements that evenly expand towards the edges from the central part. Equal additions of loops in all elements of the pattern are performed by knitting several loops into the loop of the previous row or by uniformly increasing chains of air loops.

Oval.
First, a chain of central air loops is assembled (the number of which is indicated in the diagram), which is tied in a circle on both sides. After this, you need to knit in a circle, but add loops only along the short, rounded sides of the napkin. You can form an oval napkin by knitting in regular rows in a semicircle on both sides of the round shape. You can also knit not in a circle, but in regular rows from the central chain of air loops, evenly adding and then subtracting the required number of loops.


▪ Rectangular and square napkins:

Rectangular.
The first way is to start knitting from any side. First you need to cast on a chain of air loops, and then knit in regular rows and finally tie the fabric along the edge when the rectangular shape of the napkin is formed.
The second method is patchwork knitting technique. In this case, we knit individual motifs, connect them with columns and tie them along the edge. But you can also knit elements sequentially, which at the last stage of work must be tied to the previous motif.

Square.
The canvas can be formed according to the same principle as that of a radial napkin (see below). Only loops will need to be added in 4 places and the places where loops are added will stretch from the center to the corners of the product.
A square napkin can be knitted in the same way as described in the first method of knitting a rectangular napkin. At the end of the work, you can tie the fabric with 3-4 rows of loops, forming decorative edges.

▪ Ray-shaped and diamond-shaped napkins:

Radial.
Cast on the required number of air loops, close it in a ring and continue knitting from it, adding loops in each circle in the same place. Thanks to this method, the canvas will be divided into segments. If we knit a symmetrical napkin, then add an even number of loops.
To knit a hexagonal napkin, you need to add loops in 6 places, and if an octagonal one (see picture) - in 8 places.

Diamond-shaped.
We start knitting the fabric from the corner, adding loops on both sides. Having reached the middle, we continue to knit the fabric, decreasing the loops.
Some needlewomen begin knitting a diamond-shaped napkin from the middle, forming a ring of air loops and then continuing to knit regular rows, gradually decreasing the loops along the edges. The patchwork knitting technique is also often used to form a diamond-shaped napkin. At the end of the work we make a beautiful edging around the edges.

HOW TO SHAPE A KNOWN NAPKIN

Don't be alarmed when you see the whole fabric of the product upon completion of knitting. We still need to perform some steps so that the knitted napkin takes on a beautiful, presentable shape. Place the napkin on a special backing (see picture below), on which sectors and lines are applied, with the help of which it is easier to align the product and give it a symmetrical shape. We fix the knitted fabric with small pins: if we shape a round or oval napkin, then we need to fix the middle of the fabric, and then evenly stick the pins along the edges of the backing (after that we pull out the central pins).

If we are shaping a square or rectangular napkin, then first fix the corners of the cloth, and then stick pins into the edges. When the main pins that stretch and give the fabric shape are stuck in, we proceed to fixing the individual elements and patterns of the product. First, you need to secure the pattern along the points of the outer edge, and then - the elements located between them (picots, arcs of air loops, rings). Pay attention to the fact that all distances between elements are uniform and there are no distortions.

Now you need to moisten and starch the product a little. Pour water into a spray bottle and add a little starch. Carefully spray the contents onto a napkin stretched over the backing, cover with a damp thin cloth and leave the product to dry.

BEGINNING OF WORK

Prepare yarn and a hook of a suitable size (the thicker the thread, the thicker the hook). Look at the photo, which clearly shows how to properly hold the thread and hook in your hands. You need to take the end of the thread with the thumb and forefinger of your working hand, then pass it between the ring finger and little finger of the second hand from the outside to the inside. Then we bring the thread out between the index and middle fingers. Now you can wrap the thread around your index finger. Stretch the thread by holding its extension between the middle and index fingers. Use the thumb and index finger of your working hand to grab the hook, turning the curved end down. We grab the thread with a crochet hook.

First we make the initial loop and continue to form a chain of air loops. We advise beginning needlewomen to practice knitting a chain to strengthen the skill (we knit and then unravel the chain). Then we learn to knit a chain and the first row of single crochets.


HOW TO KNIT A CHAIN ​​OF CHAIN ​​LOOPES AND A SERIES OF SCOPES.

1. Initial loop.
Wrap the thread around the tip of your left thumb from top to bottom and insert the hook into the formed loop from left to right. The loop should slide onto the hook.

2. Yarn over.
Grab the thread taut with your thumb with your hook.

3. Through a loop placed on a hook, we stretch the thread captured by the hook, tightening it a little.

4. How to start knitting a chain of chain stitches.
Yarn over and pull the thread through the loop on the hook.

5. How to start knitting a row of single crochets.
Knit the starting and chain loops, insert the hook into the starting loop again, yarn over and pull a new loop through the starting loop. Yarn over again and pull the thread through 2 loops on the hook. Instead of the initial loop, each time insert a hook into the left loop of the two that make up the previous stitch.

MAIN TYPES OF LOOPS

Crocheting napkins is an activity that can captivate both beginners and experienced needlewomen. The article presents various patterns for knitting napkins with a detailed description of the work.

Crochet napkins

Crocheted napkins are an extraordinary beauty, the embodiment of lightness and tenderness. The craftswomen who create these magical woven snowflakes don’t just knit napkins, but give those around them a real fairy tale.

To learn how to knit napkins, in addition to a hook and a ball of yarn, you will need patience and attention. It is important that the needlewoman can correctly read the diagram and convey the pattern in her work.

IMPORTANT: You can knit a small napkin with a light pattern in a few hours, but creating a masterpiece with a complex pattern will take much more time.

For beginning needlewomen, it is better to first knit small-sized napkins with simple, uncomplicated patterns. When your hands get used to the new work, and the loops and posts become slender and even, you can move on to performing more complex elements.

In descriptions and explanations of diagrams, the following generally accepted abbreviations are often used:

  • VP- air loop
  • PS- half-column
  • WITH- column
  • RLS- single crochet
  • S1H- double crochet
  • S2H- double crochet stitch.

How to choose threads and crochet a simple napkin for beginners: diagram with description

Experienced craftswomen choose spider-thin yarn for their work. Deftly using crochet, they knit napkins of extraordinary beauty that look more like lace. However, those who are just learning to knit should not start with thin threads.

  • To prevent the thread from getting tangled, choose medium thickness yarn. Wool blend and acrylic Perfect for first jobs.
  • Thread color choose depending on the interior in which the finished napkin will be used.
  • Hook size usually corresponds to the thickness of the thread. But if you need the knitting to look tight, take a thinner hook; if you want to get a large knitting product, choose a thick hook. To begin with, it is better to take a hook number 1.5. If they find it inconvenient to work with, it can always be replaced with a thicker or thinner one.
  • For the first napkin, choose one of the simplest patterns- It’s better to finish a simple job than to quit a difficult one.

IMPORTANT: If you need to knit a thin openwork napkin, use bobbin cotton threads and a hook No. 0.5 - 1. For napkins of medium thickness, you need “Iris” threads and a hook No. 1.5.

Tutorial for crocheting a simple napkin:

Prepare a hook and thread, study the knitting pattern.



Since the napkin is round, start knitting from the center. Knit a 12-loop chain.



Tie the ring according to the diagram.



Connect the last loop with the chain chain loop, thus completing the circle.



Go to second row. Knit 3 chain stitches, 4 double crochets into the stitches of the previous row.



Repeat the pattern.



Do not connect the last loop of the row with the first; if you connect them, the pattern will be broken.



In the third row, according to the diagram, alternate 4 chain stitches with 6 stitches + 2 double crochets. Knit the 4 middle columns so that the hook enters the base of the columns from the knitted row, knit the first and last so that the hook goes under the chain of chain loops of the knitted row.



Complete the 3rd row, like the previous one, proceed to knitting the 4th row.



In the fourth row alternate 5 chain stitches with 8 stitches + 2 double crochets.

Fifth- alternate 9 chain stitches with 10 stitches + 2 double crochets.

In the sixth- alternate 11 chain stitches with 4 stitches + 2 yarn overs, 11 chain stitches, skip 2 stitches of the previous row, 4 stitches + 2 yarn overs. At the end of the row, connect the last loop to the first.



In the seventh row knit 5 chain stitches, 15 stitches + 2 double crochets. Insert the hook under the chain stitches of the previous row. Then 5 air loops, a column under the air loops of the previous row.



At the end of the row, knit 6 chain stitches and connect the last loop to the first.



Knitting a napkin, connecting the loops at the end of the 7th row

In the eighth row knit 6 chain stitches, double crochet + 2 yarn overs, small picot of 4 chain stitches.





At the end of the work, fasten from the wrong side and carefully cut the thread. The work is finished, the napkin is ready!

How to crochet a beautiful white openwork napkin: diagram with description

Openwork napkins look great both on serving and coffee tables. They can be placed under candy dishes, cups, plates or fruit vases.

To make the napkins look light and delicate, take thin cotton threads and a thin hook (0.5 -1.2).

IMPORTANT: It is advisable for experienced needlewomen to use bobbin threads, but beginning craftswomen should take into account that working with them is very difficult and time-consuming.

Description:

Knitting the middle part:

  • Cast on 10 air loops and connect them into a ring.
  • 1 row: Knit 3 chain stitches (this will be a rise), 21 stitches + 2 double crochets.
  • 2nd row: Tie 6 chain stitches, 1 stitch + 1 yarn over into the 2nd stitch of the previous row, 3 chain stitches.
  • 3rd row: 5 air loops, 1 stitch + 1 yarn over (thread for the chain of the 1st row), 2 air loops, 1 stitch + 1 yarn over in the stitch of the 1st row, 2 air loops.
  • 4 row: Knit 6 chain stitches, 1 single crochet stitch and 4 chain stitches.
  • 5 row: Using connecting stitches, move the thread under 1 arch, knit 7 chain loops, 1 single crochet, 5 chain loops.
  • 6th row: Start knitting again from the middle of the arch, knit 8 chain loops, 1 single crochet, 6 chain loops.
  • 7th row: Move to the center of the arch, to do this, knit 9 chain loops, 1 single crochet, 7 chain loops.
  • 8th row: Start from the middle of the arch. Work 3 chain stitches, 4 stitches + 1 yarn over, 3 chain stitches, 1 stitch + 1 yarn over into the next arch. Next: 3 chain stitches, 9 stitches + 1 yarn over. At the end you should get 4 stitches + 1 yarn over.
  • WITH Rows 9 to 16: the pattern is similar to row 8, but carefully monitor the change in the number of columns in each row.
  • Row 17: Pull the connecting thread to the last column. Knit 3 chain stitches, 4 stitches + 1 yarn over, 10 chain stitches, 5 stitches + 1 yarn over, 10 chain stitches.
  • 18 row: Turn the napkin and knit in the reverse order: 3 chain stitches, 15 stitches + 1 double crochet under the arch, 1 single crochet in the stitch that is in the middle of the previous row, 16 stitches + 1 double crochet.

Every flower knit separately:

  • Connect 8 air loops with a ring.
  • 1st row: 3 chain stitches, 14 stitches + 1 yarn over.
  • 2nd row: 12 chain stitches, 1 single crochet in the 6th stitch of the previous row, 10 chain loops, 1 single crochet in the 11th stitch of the previous row, 10 chain loops.
  • 3rd row: Knit the petals by turning the product over. 2 chain stitches, 1 single crochet under the first arch, 1 single crochet, 13 double crochets + 1 crochet, 1 single crochet under the 2nd and 3rd arches.

IMPORTANT: When tying the third petal of the flower, do not forget to connect it to the middle part of the napkin. Tie and connect all the flowers in this way.

Knitting borders- the final stage in the work. The border consists of 7 rows:

  • 1st row: 2 chain stitches, 9 single crochet stitches, 8 chain stitches, 10 single crochet stitches in 2 flower stitches. Then do the same over each flower.
  • 2nd row: 5 chain loops, 1 stitch + 1 yarn over in 3 stitches above the petal, 2 chain stitches, 1 stitch + 1 yarn over in the next 3 stitch, 2 chain loops, 1 stitch + 1 yarn over in the last stitch above the first flower, 8 chain loops. Continue on each flower as well.
  • 3rd row: 3 chain stitches, 7 chain stitches + 1 yarn over, 2 chain stitches, 8 chain stitches + 1 yarn over, 2 chain stitches.
  • 4th row: completely repeats the 3rd row, however, if the knitting begins to “pull”, you can add air loops yourself (it will be enough to add 1 loop each).
  • 5 row: 3 chain stitches, 7 chain stitches + 1 yarn over, 10 chain stitches, 8 chain stitches + 1 yarn over, 10 chain stitches.
  • 6th row: turn the knitting, knit: 3 chain loops, 15 stitches + 1 crochet in the arch of the previous row, 1 single crochet between the stitches of the previous row, 16 stitches + 1 crochet in the next arch, 1 single crochet.
  • 7th row: the entire row is tying the resulting elements with single crochets.

Finish the work by securing the thread and removing the remainder.

Beautiful crocheted heart shaped napkin- a great gift for a loved one for Valentine's Day. Several identical small heart napkins can be used to create a romantic setting or for table settings.

Crocheting a heart napkin is not difficult. It is enough to carefully study the diagram, choose the right yarn and hook and follow the recommendations from the description in your work.

To knit a heart, use a thin cotton thread and a No. 1 hook. Finished product size: 15 x 20 cm.



Description of the circuit:

  • Dial 10 VP, connect with a ring.
  • Collect another 50 VP.
  • Connect the last 50th loop with the 10th from the end so that you get a ring.
  • 1 row: 3VP (needed for lifting), 19С1Н (tie the ring with them), 3С1Н tie on three loops of the chain and three air loops that were knitted for lifting. Next, knit C1H from each stitch of the entire chain. In the center of the chain, knit 3C1H on two loops. This will form a corner of the heart. Tie the rings at the end of the chain with C1H, connect the PS with 3 loops of the chain.
  • 2nd row: 3VP connect the PS with three columns of the previous row, turn the napkin. Further according to the scheme: C1H in every second loop of the previous row above the rounding, above the straight element - in every third. Knit 2 chain stitches between the stitches. When you reach the corner of the heart, tie the arch 6 VP. Finish the row by connecting the last stitch with the 3rd loop of the chain.
  • 3rd row: Connect 3VP with 3 columns of the previous row using PS. Turn the napkin and then knit according to the pattern C1H, one above each column of the previous row and 2C1H in the arches above the straight section. In the arches above the curves, knit 3C1H. In the corner of the heart - 12C1H. Connect the last column at the end of the row using a PS with 3 loops of the chain.
  • 4 row: complete repetition of row No. 2.
  • 5 row: repeat row No. 3, only knit 2C1H over the arches and curves, and 10C1H in the corner.
  • 6 row: C1H, 1VP, pico, 1VP. Connect the rings when tying the second one: 1 VP, 1 RLS, 1 VP.

The result should be a heart like this:



You can connect 2 of these napkins together. You will get a cute composition:



This is one of the easiest options for knitting a heart-shaped napkin, which even a beginner can knit on his own. Experienced craftswomen can choose more complex patterns.

To crochet a square napkin measuring 25x25 cm, you will need 20 g of cotton yarn and hook No. 1.



How to crochet a white openwork square and rectangular napkin: diagram with description

Description:

Main motive (repeated 16 times):

  • Tie a 10 chain chain. Connect into a ring.
  • 1st row: 1 VP for lifting, 15 sc in the ring, end of the row using PS.
  • 2nd row: 3VP for lifting, 1 PS1N knit together with the last VP of lifting into the 1st lifting loop, 2PS1N knit together into the next RLS of the previous row, 5VP, 2PS1N knit together into the next RLS of the previous row, 2PS1N knit together into the next RLS of the previous row, 5 VP. Repeat 8 times. Finish the row with a connecting post.
  • 3rd row: 4VP for lifting, 3S2N into the arch from 5VP of the previous row, 4VP, 4S2N into the same arch from 5VP, 4VP, 1 RLS into the next arch from 5VP of the previous row, 4VP, 4S2N into the next arch from 5VP of the previous row, 4VP , 4С2Н in the same arch from 5VP, 4VP, 1СБН into the next arch from 5VP of the previous row, 4 P. Repeat only 4 times. Finish the row, as before, with a connecting column.
  • Next, continue working according to the diagram of the main motif, ending the rows with connecting posts.
  • Connect the finished elements together, starch the finished product and leave to dry.

IMPORTANT: To get a napkin from rectangular motifs, knit not 16, but 20, 24, 28 or more repeating elements and connect them together in a certain order.

Filet knitting or fillet knitting(loin lace) is the creation of a grid, some cells of which remain empty, and some are filled. The drawing is created in a certain way, depending on how the grid cells are filled.

Fillet knitting is very simple, and the patterns are easy to read and resemble cross stitch patterns. The elements of fillet knitting patterns, as well as patterns for cross stitch, are black and white checkers, circles and crosses. Moreover, an empty cell in the diagram is always indicated by a white cell, and a filled cell can be indicated by a black cell, a cross, or a circle.

IMPORTANT: Before you start knitting a fillet napkin according to the chosen pattern, knit a small sample of 10 by 10 squares, from which you can evaluate the type and density of future work.

Knitting cells is done as follows:

  • Empty – S1N, 2VP
  • Filled - 3С1Н.

Any fillet knitting begins with a chain of VP.

Calculation of loops for casting:

For 1 cell – 3VP chains + 6 loops to form 1 cell of 1 row. In order not to carry out calculations, you can knit a chain of arbitrary length and start knitting cells from the beginning. Then the extra loops of the chain can be unraveled, and the missing ones can be tied up.

Video: Sirloin mesh. Adding and subtracting cells. Crochet.

IMPORTANT: The place from which work begins (starting point) is marked with an arrow on the diagrams.

Sometimes work on a fillet napkin starts from the bottom or the top. Often work begins precisely from the center, and from there it moves down and up. When you have to knit a voluminous loin, you can knit individual parts and elements, and then knit them together.

IMPORTANT: In order for a napkin knitted with fillet knit to be neat and dense, the loops must not be “loose” or stretched, otherwise the work will be uneven and the pattern will be blurred.





Knowing the decoding of the circuit (empty - С1Н, 2ВП; filled - 3С1Н), you can immediately start working.

This is where the knitting of the black center ends. Carefully secure the end of the black thread and proceed to work on the sunflower petals.

IMPORTANT: It’s not scary if the middle turns out to be a gathered wave. Subsequent rows and further steaming will correct this.

Knitting in yellow:

  • 11 row: Fasten the thread and knit into the arch of the previous row of 2VP: 2С1Н1, 2ВП, 2С1Н, 5ВП, 9С2Н, 5ВП.
  • 12 row: 2С1Н in the arch of the previous row, 2ВП, 2С1Н, 4ВП, 9С2Н + VP in each loop of the base of the petal from the columns with 2Н of the previous row, 4ВП.
  • Row 13: 2С1Н, 2ВП, 2С1Н, 4ВП. Then tie 8 arches from 4VP into each vertex of the previous row, 4VP.
  • 14 row: complete repetition of row 13, except for the number of arches from 4VP. There will be 7 of them here.
  • 15 row: Knit as row 13, only there will be 6 arches from 4VP.
  • 16 row: 2С1Н, 2ВП, 2С1Н, 2ВП, 2С1Н, 4ВП. There will be 5 arches here.
  • 17 row: Knit a petal: in the extreme arch of the last row, knit 2С1Н, 2ВП, 2С1Н, 4ВП, 4 arches, 4ВП, 2С1Н, 2ВП, 2С1Н.
  • 18 row: 2S1N, 2VP, 2S1N, 4VP, 3 arches, 4VP, 2S1N, 2VP, 2S1N.
  • Row 19: 2С1Н, 2ВП, 2С1Н, 3ВП, 2 arches, 3ВП, 2С1Н, 2ВП, 2С1Н.
  • Row 20: 2S1N, 2VP, 2S1N, 2VP, 1 arch, 2VP, 2S1N, 2VP, 2S1N.
  • 21 row: 2С1Н, 2ВП, 2С1Н, connect with the arch of the previous row, 2С1Н, 2ВП, 2С1Н.

The work on the petal is finished. Carefully cut the fixed thread.

How to crochet a voluminous napkin: description, diagram

Elegant, light, voluminous two-color napkins not only look impressive, but are also very easy to knit. The “trick” of such napkins is their two-color nature. Similar plain napkins can get “lost” in the interior, and certainly won’t attract as much attention.

To work, you will need thin cotton yarn and a No. 1 hook.

The “base” of the napkin is knitted according to an easy pattern using single crochet stitches and a VP between them.

It makes no sense to describe this process in detail.

But knitting butterflies is very similar to knitting flowers.

This pattern will have to be changed a little, otherwise the butterflies will turn out very large. Therefore, future butterflies will be knitted in single crochet stitches.

  • Make a ring from 6VP.
  • 1 row: 8 groups of 3C1H and 3VP between them.
  • 2nd row: Turn the knitting and knit: in the arches of the previous row 2 times, 5C1H and 5VP between them.
  • 3rd row: 1СБН between two groups of columns of the previous row.
  • Tie the arches: 7С1Н, 2ВП, 7С1Н.
  • 4 row: RLS.

The result will be a flower with uneven, curled petals. But by bending it in half, you will get a beautiful voluminous butterfly in flight.

Place the butterflies on a napkin, securing them with a thread and a needle, and enjoy the beauty and tenderness of your own creation.

A large crocheted napkin can decorate a table in a living room, hall, nursery or kitchen. This original and beautiful product can give comfort and warmth to your home. Of course, it is difficult to decide on such a large job, but its result will certainly please the craftswoman and justify the effort and money spent.

To knit a white napkin - a tablecloth with a diameter of 180 cm you will need:

  • hook No. 2.5
  • cotton yarn type Cotton Troy (280m in 50 g), 1100 g

The mandala, in accordance with Hindu and Buddhist teachings, symbolizes the habitat of deities. By decorating their home with mandalas, the owners hope to attract divine grace, good luck and happiness into their home.

How to crochet a colored napkin

The craftswomen note that work on these magical napkins progresses very quickly and with pleasure, and after knitting their mood improves. Most likely, this is due to the frequent change of bright colors. But what if the Hindu deities themselves help the needlewomen? Be that as it may, if your plans include making a colored napkin, it is best to start with knitting a mandala.

Not all needlewomen can crochet a two-color napkin with intricate patterns using a complex pattern. Beginners often give up knitting when they realize that they made a mistake somewhere and the pattern didn’t work out. To avoid disappointment and complete the job, you need to start by knitting light napkins.

Whatever napkin you choose for knitting, have no doubt that it will become an original, exclusive decoration for your home. In addition, while working on a napkin, you can learn to read patterns faster and practice basic knitting techniques.

For example, here’s a napkin that will look cute in any interior.

Crochet napkin process:

Row 1: Cast on 5 chain stitches,

we close them into a ring and tie it with single crochets, inserting the hook into the hole of the ring, and not into the loops of the outer row.

2nd row: we knit single crochets, making increases every 3 loops.

3rd row: make 3 chain loops for lifting plus (2 loops for the pattern, then knit 1 double crochet, 2 chain loops, 2 double crochets, 2 chain loops). Repeat the pattern in brackets until the end of the row.

4th row: 3 chain stitches for lifting, 1 double crochet, (2 chain stitches, 1 double crochet, 2 chain loops, 2 double crochet). We knit the pattern in the same way to the end of the row.

5th row: 3 air loops for lifting, (again 2 air loops, 2 double crochets, 1 double crochet, again 2 double crochets in the same loop, 2 double crochets, 1 double crochet). We repeat the pattern in brackets until the end of the row.

6th row: 3 air loops for lifting, (2 air loops for the pattern, 2 double crochets, 2 air loops, 2 double crochets, 1 air loop, 2 double crochets in the same loop, 2 air loops, 1 double crochet double crochet, 1 chain stitch, 1 double crochet). We knit the pattern to the end of the row.

7th row: 3 chain crochets for lifting, (4 double crochets in an arch between two double crochets of the previous row, 2 chain crochets, 2 double crochets in an arch between a pair of double crochets in the previous row, 1 chain, 2 again double crochet in the same arch, 1 air loop and again 2 double crochets in the same loop, 2 air loops). We knit loops according to the pattern until the end of the row.

8th row: 3 chain stitches for lifting, 1 double crochet in the first arch of triple crochets, 1 chain stitch, (2 double crochets in the same arch, 2 double crochets in the next arch of triple crochets of the previous row, 1 chain stitch , 2 double crochets in the same arch, 4 chain loops, 1 half double crochet at the top of the previous row, 3 chain loops, 1 half double crochet at the next top, again 3 double crochets, again 1 half double crochet at the next top, again 3 chain crochets loops, 1 half-column in the next vertex, 2 air loops). Repeat the pattern until the end of the row.

Row 9: Similar to row 8.

Row 10: tie with small “ruffles”. To do this, we cast on 3 air loops, make 1 half-stitch in the second loop from the hook, again 3 air loops and again 1 half-stitch in the second loop from the original one.

At the end of knitting, sew beads onto the ends of the napkin.

The crocheted napkin is ready. The description is designed for beginner craftswomen, so I think everything worked out for you. Congratulations on that!

Good afternoon, dear needlewomen!

Crocheting napkins for beginners is not at all difficult, as it might seem at first glance.

Crocheting is an exciting, fascinating activity, especially if you see photographs and patterns of very beautiful openwork napkins in magazines and on the Internet, you just want to knit such beauty with your own hands! Often these ideas are published without a detailed description and it is not always clear how to knit.

Today we will learn how to knit napkins and read patterns using a simple small napkin as an example. I have prepared for you a detailed step-by-step description with photos.

Crocheting napkins for beginners - choosing yarn

It is best for beginners to use thicker (but not very thick) threads so as not to get tangled in them. For example, acrylic or cotton is a skein, 50 grams of which are approximately 240 meters.

We select the hook according to the thickness of the thread. This is done by trial method: if you take a very thin hook, then knitting with thick yarn will be difficult, almost impossible. A crochet hook with a very large number will result in a napkin that is too full of holes.

For knitting a thick napkin, a hook with number 2 - 2.5 is suitable. But, again, I repeat, do not strictly follow what is written. Try it, choose the option that you think is more convenient.

It’s better to choose the simplest knitting patterns to start with.

Small napkins can be used as... White or multi-colored napkins will look good on the table.

Well, in the future, for knitting openwork napkins, it is better to use thin cotton bobbin threads, such as those used for sewing (No. 0-10). The product will be soft and airy.

In this case, the hook should also be taken with the smallest number 0.5 or 1.

You can also knit napkins from thicker cotton yarn such as Iris, Rose and others; the hook size is 1.2-1.5.

So, how to crochet a napkin?

Doily crochet tutorial for beginners

This is our napkin pattern. I specifically chose a small and simple scheme for beginners.

On the corresponding page you can always find those used in diagrams and text descriptions.

So, let's begin! I will write a description, and you will knit a napkin and ask questions in the comments.

1 . IN the tongue of the round napkin begins always from its center: from a set of chain of air loops. (Conventionally denoted VP). In the diagram, air loops are indicated in the form of a small loop or a small circle (dot).

For this napkin we knit a chain of 12 chain stitches.

Then we connect the first and last loops with a half-column to make a ring.

We knit a napkin in a circle in one direction from right to left.

2 . Knitting each row usually begins with a set of several air loops, this is necessary to lift the row so that it is even and not beveled and crooked . The required number of loops is indicated in the diagram.

In this case, in the first row we knit 3 air loops (VP) for lifting.

The icon following the VP in the diagram indicates a double crochet. But I decided to knit two yarn overs, so my further description will differ slightly from the diagram. But this is not important, you can knit with one or two yarn overs. And the designation C2H means two double crochets.

We tie the ring according to the pattern with 32 double crochets. We insert the hook inside the ring.

We connect the last column with a chain of 3 air loops (VP), cast on at the beginning of the row, with a half-column (PS).

3 . We knit the remaining rows, looking at the diagram.

In the second row: 3 chain stitches (VP), 4 double crochets (C2H) in each stitch of the previous row and so on.

I made a little mistake here and at the beginning of the row I only knitted three stitches.

There is no need to connect the last loop of the row to the first, as is usually the case when knitting napkins. Starting from the third row to the 6th in this napkin, the air loops at the beginning of the row not only serve as lifting rows, but are also an element of the pattern, i.e. there is a smooth transition from the previous row to the next.

3rd row: alternate 4 air loops (VP) and 6 double crochets (C2H). We see in the diagram that when knitting the middle 4 columns, the hook must be inserted into the base of the columns of the previous row, and we knit the first and sixth column by inserting the hook under the chain of chain loops of the previous row.

4th row: alternate 5 air loops (VP) and 8 double crochets (C2H).

5th row: we alternate 9 air loops (VP) and 10 double crochets (C2H).

6th row: alternate

11 air loops (VP),

4 double crochets (C2H) at the base of the previous row, 11 VP,

skip 2 stitches of the previous row and knit 4 C2H ( remember the designations - four double crochets) at the base of the last four repeat columns of the previous row ( rapport - a repeating part of a pattern),

at the end of row 5 VP, we connect the last one with an arc from VP connected at the beginning of the row, with a single crochet.

7th row:

* 5 VP,

15 double crochets (C2H) under the arch of air loops of the previous row ( those. we insert the hook under the arch from the VP),

single crochet under the arch from the VP of the previous row * .

At the end of the row, knit 6 VPs and connect them to the beginning of the row with a single crochet.

Noticed the sign * in recording? This means that the rapport knitting described between two * , you need to repeat several times (instead of the word “alternate”, which I used in the description of knitting the 3-6th rows).

8th row:

double crochet (C2H) at the base of the first column of the previous row,

picot from 4 VPs (in we knit a chain of four air loops, then we connect the first and last loop together with a single crochet, you get a small ring, or rather not even a ring, but a small lump),

For clarity, watch the video tutorial from

C2H to the base of the third column of the previous row (we skip the second column of the previous row) and so on ( look at the diagram).

There will be 8 columns in total with picots between them.

single crochet under the arch from the VP of the sixth row*.

4 .We break and fasten the thread, carefully hide the end of the thread from the inside, pulling it with a hook under the posts.
