Have you tried using your own laces in your work? Their application is so wide that they are even suitable as decoration. For example, a pattern of folded cord will perfectly complement a knitted coat. And it is better to make various ties for the hat using knitting needles from the same threads. In this article we will tell you all the intricacies of making a lace using the example of three models.
Yarn for knitting
There are no yarn restrictions for this product. This You can decorate any knitted items with lace: hat, jacket or cardigan, coat. It can be made from a similar material.
Knitting needle selection
Knitting needles should always be selected after thread selection. Pay attention to the model. Long knitting needles will not be very convenient for working with these small elements - it is better to use stocking needles. Select the size of the tool according to the thickness of the thread.
As a hint, manufacturers always put an explanation on the ball of thread which tool number to use.
Hollow cord for knitting hats
The easiest way to knit a hollow model is in a permanent way.
We will need:
- yarn;
- double knitting needles or circular knitting needles (but with short fishing line).
Kit
It is necessary to cast on 4 loops in the traditional way - if the thread is thin, and 3 - if you choose a thin one. You need to ensure that the tails of the threads remain strictly to the left.
Knitting
You only need to knit with knit stitches. Thread, as in normal knitting work.
Second row and subsequent
After the first row, you will need to simply transfer the loops to another knitting needle without turning and continue working. Then do the same. Continue working until the required length of the lace.
Multi-colored cord for a hat
The master does not always perform the work with one color. Therefore, the lace should not lag behind. The motif of a combination of two colors is simple to implement. It is enough to add colored yarn to the middle of the knitting.
In this example, the working thread will always remain behind the work.
Flat lace with knots
Flat cord with a beautiful weave. The work seems complicated, but is actually done routinely garter stitch.
And beautiful curves are obtained when, when making an edge loop, we let the thread work.
Three charming options are ready. We choose the most suitable cord and try a simple technique on our yarn. For a children's hat we will need comfortable, strong ties, and for other products this is an easy way to create creative decor.
