A master class on crocheting a blanket.

Reception of knitting "grandmother's square". The scheme is taken from the Internet.
I knit my grandmother's square without an air loop between the columns.
The initial chain consists of 5 chain stitches.

The blanket is knitted of two types of yarn.
Pekhorka "Children's volumetric" 400m / 100g 100% acrylic color in skeins orange - 5, natural - 3.
Pekhorka "Children's novelty" 200m / 50g 100% acrylic. The colors in skeins are brown-earthy - 4, red - 3, dark red - 2, blue - 1.
Total yarn will need 1300 g.

Description of knitting a plaid

We distribute the yarn to the central part of the blanket and to the border. The central part took 30% of all yarn and all colors. Although it looks more massive, nevertheless, the main yarn goes to the hem.

The central part of the blanket

The central part is made of squares in a free colors... To create a country style (rustic) there is no geometric sequence between the center squares. Warm color squares are arranged around individual cool color squares. There is even a square, consisting of many small squares, to create it I used all the ends that I formed as a result of trial samples. This is not necessary if you do not have small thread ends.

The central part is made of 24 squares. Each square is connected from 12 rows " grandma's square". Each square is attached to the previous one in the last row. When all the squares are connected, around the perimeter they need to be tied 1 next to the" grandmother's square. "Use the color with which you will later tie all the other small squares of the border. I have this brown-earthy color ... Dark color I took to highlight the bright and warm colors of the border. And divide the border zones.

Border

The first circle of the border consists of two types of squares. Tie 22 squares each consisting of 5 rows of "grandmother's square".

1 view. Plain square

2 view. Square with a flower inside

Cast on a natural thread a chain of 6 air loops, close it in a circle. Tie the resulting ring with 12 single crochets. Close the last loop, do not cut the thread, leave it at work.

With an orange thread in each loop of the bottom row, make 12 lush columns. Knit 3 air loops between the columns. At the end of the row, close the loop and cut the thread.
Lush column: yarn - extended loop - yarn - extended loop - yarn - extended loop, knit all yarns and loops at the same time with an air loop.

The next row is made in natural color. In terms of the number of columns, it corresponds to the 4th row of the "grandmother's square"

We tie the 5th row with the same natural color. We close the last loop, cut the thread.

We tie each square with a thread of the color that you decided to use for tying (a common row of the central part). Tying the squares, we connect them together with single crochet columns and connect them to the central part.

For each large square, there are 2 small squares along the edge.
When all the small squares have been closed in a full circle, we tie a blanket around the perimeter 1 row - brown-earthy color, 3 rows - orange color, 1 row - natural color, 3 rows of red, 1 row - natural color, 1 row - brown-earthy colors. In total, you need to knit 12 rows so that the next circle of small squares fits along the length of the sides. And the squares of the third circle were symmetrical to the squares of the first circle.

We knit the third circle, consisting of 3 types of a small square, corresponding to the type of a square with a flower inside. The squares differ in the color of the flower inside. In total, you need to connect 60 small squares, 20 pieces of the same color.

The next circle of strapping is performed around the perimeter. I have run out of earth brown, but there is still a lot of blue left. The blue looks deeper and the orange stripe stands out brighter. We tie 1 row around the perimeter - blue color, 3 rows - Orange color, 1 row - natural color, 1 row - dark red, 1 row - blue. There are 7 rows in total. I could have knitted further, but I ran out of threads.

Square and stripe connection technology

All squares are connected by single crochet. When we have knitted 3 columns of the working row, we knit 1 single crochet into the arch of the square with which we connect. We connect the corners as follows: we knit 1 stitch, then a single crochet under a chain of 3 stitches, 1 stitch, then crochet stitches in the rows of "grandmother's square".

The photo shows the place where the edge is bound at the junction of two small squares. Under each corner chain, 3 double crochets are knitted.

The first and last squares on the sides of the strapping with corners are attached to the arch between the posts.

The subsequent squares with corners are attached to the fan itself of 3 columns, behind the central column.
The plaid turned out to be 180x210 cm in size. Easy to clean and easy to handle.

Blankets knitted- some of the most comfortable and pleasant things that you can create with your own hands. In addition, a similar household item that will warm in autumn or winter evenings maybe also incredibly beautiful. Perhaps novice craftswomen will now think that such a luxury as knitted a blanket is not for them, but you should not deprive yourself and your loved ones of such a wonderful thing because of doubts about your abilities. You just need to choose the right one from several knitting options for simple blankets and go for it!

Schemes and description of knitting a plaid with knitting needles

The choice of models of blankets, as well as patterns, and methods of knitting them, is huge. It is also worth paying attention to whether a warm blanket is knitted for adults, or still for children - after all, this is also an important criterion for the selection of yarn and patterns. For the smallest, blankets should be knitted according to certain rules - we will definitely tell you about them. In general, it is a whole art to knit a good blanket. Let's try to figure it out and consider both the lightest knitting master classes and more intricate options for knitting blankets.

Master class for beginners

Beginner knitters should definitely start by learning the most understandable and simple options knitting blankets. Consider a master class for beginners in knitting a blanket.

This plaid model is perfect for newborns or adult children. The blanket turns out to be pleasant, tender and soft. And knitting it with knitting needles will not be difficult because of the knitting method taken as a basis: a simple two-sided pattern of front and back loops, as well as for the edge of the product.

• What is needed

Yarn:"Svetlana" production "Semenovskaya yarn", 250 m / 100 g, 50% wool, 50% acrylic.
Yarn consumption: 350 g.
Instruments: circular knitting needles No. 3, knitted needle.
Knitting density: basic knitting Pg = 2.25 loops in 1 cm, Pv = 3.2; Garter stitch Pg = 2.14 stitches in cm, Pv = 4.3 rows in 1 cm.

• We calculate the loops

To calculate the number of loops that need to be typed on the knitting needles for knitting a blanket, it is necessary to determine the density of knitting in basic and garter stitches. Learn more about how to determine knit density.

When calculating the loops, we must take into account the desired size of the product and the pattern repeat. As for the size, the standard size of a baby diaper is 80 x 80 cm, we will focus on it. We need the pattern on the rug to be symmetrical. Therefore, you need to add loops to the whole rapports for the symmetry of the pattern. You also need to take into account the width of the slats along the edge of the blanket. We will knit strips with a width of 2.5 cm, these are 7 loops (including the hem). This means that we need to knit 80 - 6 = 74 cm with the main knit.One repeat of the main pattern is equal to 18 loops or 8 cm.For symmetry, we need to add half a repeat, that is, 9 loops or 4 cm.It turns out that for whole rapports there are 74 - 4 = 70 cm. Determine the number of whole rapports: 70: 8 = 8.75, round up to a whole, we get 9 rapports. So, number of stitches in basic knit:

9 (number of whole rapports) x 18 (number of loops in a rapport) + 9 (number of loops for pattern symmetry) +7 (number of loops for one plank) x 2 = 185 loops.

But we know that the knitting density (Pg) of the finishing garter stitch is less than the basic one. This means that the bottom bar is not too loose and does not look stretched, we need to recalculate the loops.

Let's clarify the final size of the blanket: 185 (number of loops) x 2.25 (Pg basic knitting) = 82 cm.

Now let's define how many loops need to be cast on the knitting needles:

82 (part size) x 2.14 (Pg garter stitch) = 175 stitches.

• Main pattern

Reversible check pattern from front and back loops with a relief texture. Pattern rapport: 18 stitches wide, 24 rows long. To knit a pattern sample, the number of loops is a multiple of 18 plus 2 edge loops on the knitting needles.

Scheme and description:

- classic front loop in the front row, unless otherwise indicated in the description of the pattern. In the purl row, this is how the purl loop is indicated.

- classic purl loop in front row, unless otherwise indicated in the text. In the purl row, this is how the front loop is indicated.

1st, 3rd, 9th, 11th row: * 9 facial, 9 purl *;

All purl (even) rows are knitted according to the pattern;

5th, 7th row: * 3 facial, 3 purl *;

13th, 15th, 21st, 23rd row: * Purl 9, facial 9 *;

17th, 19th row: * Purl 3, facial 3 *.

The pattern is repeated from the 1st to the 24th row.

• Progress

We type 175 loops on the knitting needles in the main way and knit 11 rows in garter stitch. We will arrange the edge a little differently than usual: we will not remove the first loop in the row, but we will knit the front loop behind the back wall.

Fig. 1: Working thread runs down and back. Fig. 2: The loop is knitted behind the back wall of the front

We knit the last loop in the row as usual, with the front loop.

In this case, the edge of the edge will stretch more. Considering that the horizontal knitting density (Pg) of the main knit is less than that of the finishing knit, this will allow the bar to stretch and compensate for the difference.

If the knitting density of the main and finishing knits differ significantly, we recommend knitting the bar in shortened rows.

In the 11th row, we will make straight yarns to add loops. We make additions evenly. We will knit 11 loops (including the hem), make a straight yarn over, and then make yarn overs through 18 loops (pattern repeat). In total, 10 yarns will be obtained along the length of the part. In the next row, we move on to the main pattern. At the beginning and end of the row we knit 7 loops with garter stitch and then with the main pattern. We knit the nakida behind the back wall, without openwork, so that the addition is invisible.

In order for the plaid to turn out to be square in height, we need to knit 11 rapports (264 rows) with the main pattern. In the last row, we subtract 10 loops in the same places where we added, knitting two loops each with a tilt to the left. We tie the bar and close the row in the classic way.

Product for a newborn

It is very important and responsible business to knit a blanket for a newborn. Whether it's a gift to a family of loved ones or to yourself for the first birthday of a baby, you need to consider several important points when knitting the first warm blanket in a baby's life.

When choosing yarn for knitted children's clothes, you should pay attention to the composition: it is better to choose a yarn where there is wool with a part of acrylic, or merino wool, or baby alpaca with an admixture of microfiber. Be sure to make sure that the threads do not prick the skin, even if the label says that the yarn is intended for knitting children's clothes.

Let's try to knit another simple blanket that a beginner can make. And they will help to knit a blanket for a newborn with knitting needles schemes and a detailed description.

Plaid from squares

It is also successfully used in knitting - for this, pre-knitted motifs are sewn or tied with different patterns into a single product. This knitting method is very popular, so you should definitely try to knit a blanket from squares with knitting needles. This is not difficult to do.

Knitting options for a plaid of this typethere are quite a few, as well as design solutions that can "revive" it: make traditional squares of all possible colors, or choose only a few harmonious shades of yarn for a blanket. Some knit blankets from squares in a monochromatic version, focusing only on the variety of patterns of connected motifs. The squares themselves can be flat, or they can be decorated with convex elements, which will also add a patchwork charm to the finished product.

We have selected an "advanced" option for knitting a blanket with squares, so that it would be interesting for experienced knitters. It will take a little more time and effort, but the result is definitely worth it.

Video tutorial on knitting a plaid with a pattern

How to knit blankets different types and the difficulties we have already learned, but what the process of phased execution looks like is a completely different question, the answer to which can be found in detailed videos with master classes on knitting a plaid. V this case, it comes about a beautiful blanket with several patterns.

Video "how to knit a plaid with a pattern"

And this is how the process of knitting a simple blanket from a master class for beginners looks like:

Soft, airy, almost weightless - handmade blanket large knit conquered fans of knitted art! Stylish cozy blankets beckon to wrap yourself in a warm cloudy embrace on a gloomy morning or warm up in a cool evening ...

Idea original technique knitting was given by the Americans: the Modern Wool company started with blankets, bedspreads and pillows, but gradually switched to scarves, hats and snoods. The unique way of processing wool allows you to create a feeling of light carelessness, frayed threads. Do you think that gulliver loops cannot be created from natural wool ?! Oh, how wrong you are! The wool of merino sheep lends itself well to processing, so the loops are even and smooth. Acrylic thread is in no way inferior in quality to natural wool, and the cost varies significantly.

Chunky knit blankets in basic shades

Gorgeous knitted blankets made of merino wool or soft acrylic will complement the Scandinavian, Provence and country style interiors. Giant loops create the most delicate canvas, which can be classic and strict, playful and delicate, sophisticated and stylish - it all depends on the imagination of the craftswoman.

Hand made is becoming more and more popular every day, it is a mistake to think that knitting is the lot of old women. Not at all! Simple large knitting of local flowers is the trend of 2016-2017. Cool blue, juicy red, deep green, pure purple, authentic white and black are win-win options! In addition, natural shades of mint, cold chocolate, coffee with milk are in fashion. Muted coral, dusty blue and dirty pink will perfectly fit into any decor.

Large knit plaid in a Scandinavian interior

A bedspread or a large-knit blanket with your own hands will revive the sofa in the living room and the bed in the bedroom, become a cozy cocoon for those who like to be alone, turn into a children's rug for playing on the floor. Wear-resistant materials allow the knitted blanket to be used in any conditions. Believe me, even the most lively kid, having fallen into the arms of gentle "sheep", will not want to be capricious.

Is it possible to associate this miracle of design fantasy? It is not difficult to create a large-knit blanket with your own hands, however, the knitting needles differ from the usual ones - the gulliver sizes impress even experienced knitters!
