Crochet knitted bag

They say that everything new is well forgotten old. And the material that will be discussed only confirms this.

Knitted yarn is a thin fabric. It can be purchased at yarn sales points or made independently. Products made from this fiber are quite dense. They keep their shape wonderfully.

Our grandmothers also made such thread themselves, from old clothes, and knitted beautiful, colorful rugs. Today's craftswomen have breathed new life into old needlework. Now you can knit a neat basket or a stylish handbag from this material. Let's take a closer look at how this happens, using the example of crocheting a handbag.

Yarn

• Another option for constructing this material is as follows. From a thin thread, use a hook or knitting needles to knit a thin strip of the required length and wind it into a skein.

Hook

You will need a fairly thick hook. To determine its size, you need to fold the thread in two layers and compare the resulting thickness with the thickness of the tool head. Both indicators should be equal.

Useful tips

And in conclusion, let me give you some useful recommendations that will significantly facilitate the work process and help you achieve the best result.

• When performing calculations, do not forget to add a few centimeters to the seams.
• When choosing a tool, it is better to choose a plastic version. It has good material sliding properties over the surface. And at the same time lighter than its metal counterpart.
• If you are making a product using several types of knitting yarn, knit a pattern for each of them.
• If during the process of circular knitting your fabric begins to deform: it begins to “wave” or begins to tuck, it means that there is an error in the calculations. To fix this, you need to do the following. If it is a “wave”, reduce a few loops; if it tucks or pulls, add more loops.
• To knit round fragments, you can use napkin patterns, but then be sure to use a lining. This will help small things inside not slip out through the openwork holes.
• You should not heavily decorate the product, as this yarn gives the accessory an elegant look. If you really can’t wait to decorate a thing, choose small details for this: beads, ribbon, metal elements, and so on.
• Beginning needlewomen will find it useful to watch a video showing how to make the selected model. You can find the recording on the Internet.

As you, I hope, have seen, knitted yarn allows you to create wonderful additions to any style of outfit, for all occasions. All you have to do is choose an unusual model, a beautiful color and spend some free time. We should also not forget about creative vision and flights of fancy, which allow us to create real masterpieces.
