Knitted umbrella patterns

In the summer, when the thermometer rises above +30º, being under the scorching rays of the sun is inconvenient, turning shopping or a short walk into a serious ordeal. A sun umbrella will help you cope with this problem. Any needlewoman who knows how to crochet can make it herself.

Materials and tools

To work you will need to do the following.

• Choose a suitable scheme.
• Purchase material. In this case It is better to use thin yarn with parameters of 500 m / 100 g.
• Choose a tool. To do this, fold the thread in half and compare the resulting thickness with the volume of the hook head.

Attention! You can use an old umbrella as a base, after removing the material from it.

How to knit a sun umbrella

Knitting lace to cover an umbrella is quite simple. We propose to analyze this process using an example.

For work you you will need cotton yarn 250 m / 50 g and a hook number 2.5.

Description of work

• Measure the diameter of the frame. This will be the size of your product.
• To begin, dial 5 v.etc. and connect them into a ring.
• Next, knit according to the pattern in circular rows.
• Having reached a sufficient circle, the work should be completed.
• Carry out wet-heat treatment of the canvas.
• Cover the frame with the workpiece, while starting from the center, gradually fix the lace on the knitting needles (perform three tacks on each warp knitting needle).

Attention! Before starting work, make a sample of the canvas and make calculations on it.

Tips for knitting an umbrella

And finally, a few recommendations that will help you get the best results.

• It is preferable to use the base of a cane umbrella as a frame.
• Take white or natural-colored yarn (unbleached thread). This will increase the service life of the product, since color options quickly fade in the sun and the item loses its original appearance.
• A special decoration will be a beautiful border that will protrude a couple of centimeters beyond the knitting needles.
• Before attaching to the base, the lace can be starched. To do this, prepare a starch solution in the required proportion and soak the fabric in it for 15 minutes.
