Knitted items for the home, crocheted and knitted with patterns and descriptions

Knitting tools

For classes, either knitting needles or hooks are used. These items are made from various materials: metal, bone, plastic, wood. Depending on the thickness, the tools are numbered, for example, hook No. 1 has a thickness of 1 mm.

This is important to consider when selecting yarn for knitting; the hook or knitting needles should be approximately 2 times thicker than the thread.

Depending on the shape of the product being made, 2, 4 or 5 knitting needles are used, and only 1 hook is required!

Knitted little things for the home and kitchen with descriptions in Russian

It seems that making houses has become a popular activity now. But let’s connect it not just with a decorative item, but with a benefit for the kitchen: we’ll keep napkins in the chimney that imitate smoke.

The designer of this knitted cottage is Rosemary Walter.

Necessary materials:

• 30 g yellow yarn
• 85 g light green, dark green and white
• hook 3.5 mm
• tapestry needle
• 2 sheets of plastic canvas.

To ensure that the walls are straight when assembling, make sure that the holes on the outline of the cut parts coincide with each other. Since you will be cutting them based on the knitted ones, make sure you have the same number of holes on the sides of the plastic pieces that will be stitched together.

Instructions

1. Using the knitted piece as a template, cut a piece of plastic canvas 1/8 square smaller than the piece itself.
2. Sew the knitted piece to the plastic canvas using the matching yarn using a tapestry needle using a running stitch, using a slight stretch along all edges.
3. To attach the roof to the top of the house, sew it only through the tied edges.
4. Sew windows and doors through knitted and plastic parts.
5. Tie all decorative pieces together before attaching them to the wall. When all the pieces are ready, adjust their position and then sew.

Description of work

Walls (4 parts)

Row 1: 22 ch with light green yarn, 1 sc in 2nd and next twenty stitches. To turn.

Cute knitted cakes are also functional, because they are made in the form of boxes, and you can store various little things in them. And in general, they will be very appropriate in the kitchen as decor.

Decorations for children's rooms

If you have small children and you know how to knit well, then this is a wonderful opportunity to decorate their room or rooms yourself.

You can also create angels that you can hang above your child’s desk so that they can protect and inspire him.

And, if you don’t have enough colors in the room, we can advise you to find patterns of fruits that you will later place in some nice little basket. You can find photos of crocheted crafts for children's rooms on the Internet at any time.

Knitting patterns and special badges

Since the patterns can be quite complex and difficult to remember, a drawing diagram is developed. Different types of loops and knitting techniques are indicated by icons, sometimes the pattern is described in words.

Patterns for crocheting crafts serve as an additional teaching tool for beginning needlewomen. They come in two types:

• For knitting straight fabric (in rotating rows);
• For knitting round or oval fabric (in circular rows).

The symbols for both schemes are the same, but the reading rules are different.

In patterns for knitting with turning rows, even rows are read from left to right, and odd rows from right to left. The row is numbered on the side from which it should be read.

If the rows are not numbered in the diagram, then, based on the general principle, knitting begins from right to left and from bottom to top.

• Crafts from spoons - 125 photos and videos, tips and tricks with step-by-step instructions on how to make crafts
• Crafts from cotton pads - 125 photos of beautiful crafts, features and videos of new cotton crafts

Products with a pattern are knitted using this method. The part of the pattern that is repeated when knitting and called pattern repeat is indicated in the diagram under the first row.

When knitting in a circular pattern, the fabric is shaped like a circle, rectangle, square or oval. Tablecloths, hats, toys, and potholders are made using this method.

Knitting begins from the middle of the circle, and from here the rows are counted, going counterclockwise. With this method, the pattern changes from row to row, so the concept of pattern repeat is not used.

Little things for the home knitted with knitting needles

And again I have an idea for a knitted house, it will appear more than once in this post, it just so happens.

In this case, it is a thermal cover for a knitting kettle. Well, it’s impossible not to admire such beauty. Of course, it takes some work, but we can do everything!

So, you will need:

• half-wool green, white and apricot colors (100 g/280 m) – 20-25 grams each
• multi-colored acrylic threads for finishing
• padding polyester
• lining fabric
• knitting needles No. 2

Sew the lining pieces so that the stitching line is a continuation of the stitching of the knitted pieces. Then the lining will fit exactly to the base of the house.

Attach a piece of padding polyester to the pipe, wrapping it with wavy (after steaming) white threads.

Turn the product onto the face and sew up the hole in the lining with a hidden seam.

I already recommended a set for mulled wine to you as a gift for the New Year. I’ll remind you again and tell you how to knit.

Take 50 grams of pink, green and purple yarn (70% wool, 30% acrylic, 250 m/100 g). Knitting needles will fit number 3; you will need both straight and circular.

Patterns of crocheted little things for the home

For example, we can’t do without potholders! Although we often hang knitted ones for decoration. We also have quite a few options, but we haven’t had any lovely houses yet.

The pattern is given for crocheting, but it is also suitable for knitting and even embroidery.

The rows marked + are the black thread color.

It is recommended to make it from thick cotton (50g/70m) with crochet number 4.

After the entire house is knitted according to the pattern, it should be tied around the perimeter with single crochets. At the same time, do not forget to make a loop on the roof (10 ch and 12 sc along this chain).

Embroider vertical lines, window frames and other contours with a chain stitch.

Flowers on the windows can be made with a picot seam on the brids.

The picot seam on brids is based on a knotted seam, only the thread is wound on the needle many times and the result is a wound loop.

A small bouquet of flowers can be placed in a regular glass or jar, just decorate it a little.

Knitted decor consists of several interconnected motifs.

We have other options for flower pots and ideas for decorating them with your own hands.

There are no limits to fantasy

A great way to use your free time while flying is to learn how to knit using just your hands, without using tools.

This technique is called yubia, it perfectly develops finger flexibility and motor skills, brings joy and pleasure.

Basics of Craftsmanship

The main tool is a hook. It can be made of plastic, metal, bone, wood.

Hooks can be long or short, thick or thin, and consist of a shaft, a head, and a barb. They are classified by numbers (mm), each size is intended for a specific type of needlework:

• 0.5-1 – for knitting lace from cotton threads;
• 1.25-1.75 – for thin threads;
• 2-3.5 – for threads of medium thickness;
• 4-5 – for a double thread of medium thickness;
• 5.5-6 – for fluffy yarn;
• 7-8 – for working with very thick woolen thread;
• 9 and above – for combed tape.

Any material is suitable - from ordinary sewing threads to bags cut into thin strips. Craftswomen create real masterpieces from old knitted items turned into ribbons - they knit rugs, covers for sofas and armchairs, toys, wallets and much more.

How to start, types of loops, their designation in diagrams

For beginners, such needlework may seem difficult. But after the basic techniques have been mastered, you will be able to knit simple crafts with your own hands. The main thing is to learn how to hold the hook correctly and make several types of loops and yarn overs.

The tool is taken in the working (left or right) hand. The thread is wrapped around the index finger of the other hand, its end is pinched between the ring finger and little finger. It is crossed, the first loop is made.

8 main types of loops:

• air;
• single crochet;
• stitch with 1, 2, 3 crochets;
• unfinished double crochet;
• "pico";
• lush column (shell, popcorn, cone);
• embossed;
• "crawfish step"

The air loop is the beginning of the work. The hook is inserted into the first loop, grabs the thread and pulls it out, creating a new one. The result is a braided braid. If the craft is round, then the “pigtail” is gathered into a ring.

Single crochet is used when creating rectangular items, details, and when moving to the next row. One loop is left for lifting (moving to the next row, level).

A double or single crochet stitch means adding loops.

Unfinished stitches are more complex loops. They are knitted according to the same principle as regular ones, but at the end the last two hook loops are not closed and remain on the body of the hook.

The picot technique is often used when knitting lace, napkins, and tablecloths. Its essence lies in the fact that three simple loops are assembled into a ring.

A lush column is a decorative element consisting of several loops assembled into one.

With the help of relief ones, three-dimensional patterns are created. The technique requires a certain skill, perseverance, and patience.

“Rachy step” is a border along the edge of the product. It performs both aesthetic and practical functions - it protects the edge from stretching.

All types of loops in the diagrams are indicated by a certain sign. Having learned them, you will be able to use the patterns of experienced craftswomen and create crafts of varying complexity, from any type of thread.

Using a crochet hook you can knit round and straight fabrics, loins, multi-colored items, and three-dimensional figures.
