Crochet products are simply an unknown corner, and it remains so for any craftsman. It is impossible to know every pattern. Even masters often spend hours looking on the Internet for suitable patterns for their new work. This article will lift the curtain a little on the mystery of crochet patterns and present two fashionable tablecloths from a Japanese magazine with rather unusual patterns. Only even the most unusual layout of a Japanese magazine may not be so complicated. The art of crocheting beautiful things - and being able to crochet is not only a gift, but also a great happiness.
What threads are used to crochet tablecloths?
It is very important to choose a good thread for making a tablecloth. It means a lot, and a simple thread or an ugly pattern can equally ruin the whole canvas.
More often, craftsmen turn to iris thread for help. For an everyday tablecloth, you can also purchase a slightly thicker thread. Then the work will be completed faster, and the product will be much stronger.
You should also pay attention to additives. Some craftsmen like threads with special additives, for example, elastane, which makes the fabric a little springy, maybe with shiny thread.
But it is still very dangerous to make huge products with them, since the second (additional thread) is not very strong and often breaks at the most inopportune moment. To ensure that the entire canvas is smooth, you should take care of choosing additives in advance.
Important! The hook model may vary slightly, but it will always be the same size as the thread. This is his main secret when choosing.
Interesting crochet tablecloths from Japanese magazines
Many craftswomen, when looking for something new, look for it among works that relate to Japanese patterns. This is no coincidence, since in Japan they have a completely different attitude towards needlework.
For example, famous japanese amigurumi toys Not only do they have special criteria - they are tiny in size, but they also necessarily contain some kind of secret meaning.
Maybe this is why the works are so attractive; the masters put not only their soul into them, but also a special technique. Let's try to unravel the technique of creating two lovely tablecloths originally from Japan.
White tablecloth “Flower Glade” crocheted
A very original model with a huge number of flowers. Small motifs make the product very cute and even a little mysterious. The motif itself is not so popular, which is why the model looks so unusual and beautiful.
To work you will need:
- white iris yarn;
- hook according to the thickness of the thread.
Measurements
It is very important to immediately select the correct number of threads, but this is very difficult to do with iris. Approximately a small napkin is obtained from one small skein. But this will not help to make a whole product and calculate the entire consumption correctly. Therefore, here too you must first correctly measure the estimated tablecloth.For everyday use, the product should not be made to the floor. But for a holiday, a model that is too short will be inappropriate.
Sample
It is very difficult to understand how to make a sample and calculate the required size from it, especially if the canvas is made up of individual elements. So here too, small motifs are used. But you can select one large motif from the pattern and knit it. And it is from this that you will need to determine the knitting density.
Simply measure the diameter and then calculate how many motifs are needed for the length and width of the product. It’s so easy and simple to calculate the dimensions for a tablecloth if it’s based on small motifs.
Motives
First, the diagram for the first motif is a large flower, and it was by this that the density was determined, since it is decisive in the length of the tablecloth chain.
The motif begins with 8 chain stitches, and then circles with double crochets are knitted according to the pattern. According to the given pattern, knit a small star, and it also starts from the center to the periphery. Link the required number of elements.
Assembly
Connect the elements in your order. It is better to use the same thread for joining and you can do it with crochet. Use a needle if desired.
A very original model and it doesn’t even require binding, as the edge is finished and very beautiful.
Thick thread tablecloth
This charming model must be made of thick cotton thread. Perhaps this is the only exception, when the pattern is very good in a thick thread. The pattern is very reminiscent of a pineapple, but this is only at first glance.
For work use:
- thick cotton thread;
- hook according to the thickness of the thread.
Sample
You can first knit a small sample and determine how suitable the size is for the table.If desired, you can add a small border to this pattern. For a sample, you can knit a little mesh according to the fabric pattern and count the number of elements per 10 cm and the number of rows.
Important! Necessarily determine the dimensions for the whole product and measure your table.
Description
The tablecloth starts from the middle and the pattern is very similar to a napkin. The difference is that this model should be made of thick thread, and so the size will be suitable for the festive table. Start for the tablecloth in 8 air loops, make a ring out of them, and then you need to move to the first row. To do this, you first need to perform a small lift of 3 air loops. Next is a row of 32 double crochets.
For a new circle again cast on 3 air loops, and again perform a circle according to the pattern of the diagram. Continue this way until the very last row. As a result, you should get a star in the center, and something very similar to pineapples at the edges. The model does not require tying, as it produces very beautiful canvases between pineapple patterns.
Japan contains many more mysterious schemes.
Therefore, you should not stop only at these schemes. Handicrafts are valued in every city and therefore making unique things is always cool and pleasant. To all masters, beginners and those who simply want to learn such needlework - great desire and creative inspiration.
