Yarn
To make an airy item, it is preferable to use thin viscose, silk, cotton or linen thread. A fiber with parameters of 450–500 m/100 g will be suitable. Medium volume yarn (350 m/100 g) is also suitable.
Reference! To determine the best fiber for the job, you need to knit several samples from different threads and compare them with each other.

Let's look at each option using a detailed example.

Loin tablecloth
Round loin can be created in two ways:
- knit from the center in a circle;
- work from the edge, adding and subtracting cells to give shape.
In the first example, the piece starts with a ring created from air loops.
Work process
The model consists of ten wedges, which are created according to the drawing.
Air arches are knitted between the wedges. Crosses indicate filled cells that form a pattern.
Sample cell filling
Simultaneously with the reduction of the wedge, knit fans of air arches between the cells.After finishing work, remove the ends of the threads and perform a wet-heat treatment.
Reference! When selecting yarn for sirloin fabric, you should pay special attention to the matching of the thread and the hook. A knit that is too loose will look unsightly and sloppy.
The columns filling the cell should fit tightly to each other, without forming gaps. For fillet it is better to choose yarn of medium thickness with parameters 350 g/100 m.
