What we need to know about crocheting a lace piece, first of all:

1. In most cases, we are supposed to use a crochet hook. With few exceptions, needlewomen (both experienced and beginners) prefer to crochet with a hook. Why is this the case? A crocheted patterned cloth is a home decoration. Crochet allows us to create simply masterful works of needlework motifs. Needles are also used in a practical environment, but they are used to knit products dense, voluminous and with massive ornaments.
2. Careful choice of yarn. Once again we come back to the working tool. In practical needlework, you can find a wide size range of crochet hooks, but it is the miniature tools that allow you to create exquisite openwork "cobwebs" for the home. So, choose thin cotton threads, yarn with a large content of acrylic and viscose. For beginners, the yarn series Iris of Kirov production is excellent.
3. Every mistress must remember that openwork items are extremely fragile and require gentle washing or cleaning.

Today there are many well-known or author variations of knitted interior details. Below we have provided you with a list of variations, which we will be introduced to today:

• White Viscose Round Napkin. The most common option with a classic embossed pattern.
• Romantic Hearts in Love series. For beginners the technique will seem difficult, but after watching video tutorials and practical training, the knitting process will go "on fire".
• A round napkin made of blue yarn by spitters.

For the general development of beginners, we have presented a list of author techniques that require a lot of experience in creating motifs:

• Snowflake pattern.
• Large "petal" modules.
• Multicolored motifs for a bright doily.
• Pattern "spider" for modular assembly.

Knit a white viscose round tablecloth

In the description provided, we work with crochet #3.

Step-by-step scheme-instruction for the master:

• Dial a chain of 12 air loops and close the ring.
• Starting from the second row, we knit according to the ornament. Everyone can use the pattern chosen personally. We will consider the technique of fillet knitting.
• After connecting the loops in the ring, do one column with a stitch in every third air loop.
• Act on the provided scheme of 5-6 rows. Now, after increasing the diameter of the circle, proceed directly to the fragments of filigree knitting (scheme-drawing can be downloaded from any site for needleworkers). Act according to the sequence shown until row 70 inclusive.
• Next, work on the fringe for 10 rows, and to finish knitting, use the method of connecting columns.
• If desired, the border can be tied with threads of a different color.

The round tablecloth is still a classic variant of handmade decor today, which determines the relevance of this technique.

"Hearts of lovers": preparing for a romantic dinner

For this technique, we also prepare yarn of pink or delicate blue shade, crochet hook. The peculiarity of the presented scheme is the repetition of the ornament in the form of two hearts with different knitting techniques.

Step-by-step scheme-instruction for the master:

• The basis of the ornament are the so-called "pico" elements. Each of the parts is knitted according to the scheme: gather 18 sts, in 5 of which the hook is introduced. Next, knit three columns with a stitch. After catching the thread, pull it through all five loops on the tool.
• Follow this pattern through all the elements of each module.
• To create a tablecloth, we need four identical motifs. The next three parts we knit according to the same scheme.
• Between the parts of our product we need to knit puffy patterns that will fit seamlessly into the overall pattern.

Elements "pico" are quite complex options for knitting. Beginner needlewomen should thoroughly practice before starting to create such a motif. But step-by-step tutorials are there to teach you practical skills in handling patterns.

Blue Yarn Round Tablecloth with Crochet

Despite the advantages of crochet, we will pay due attention to the technique of handling with needles. There are no special rules for creating items, except for the choice of yarn. On the thickness and quality of the yarn will depend on the appearance and structure of the future element of the interior. But these are just details, because the main task is to understand the technology and principles of the step-by-step instructions.

Step-by-step instructions for the master:

• On the needles we dial 10 elements. The first 30-40 circles we use regular tools, but as the diameter of the product increases, we switch to circular models of needles.
• The number of rows directly depends on the circumference of the fabric.
• Three alternating rapports are involved in creating the pattern, the schemes of which can be found on any website for needleworkers (if you wish, write your own drawings to create a pattern).
• Along the border of our product provides a classic crochet pattern.

Do not believe the conventional wisdom that the openwork version of the product can be tied only by crochet. Details connected with needles are also characterized by originality, an abundance of colors and relief.

We have considered several options for patterned home decorations, including tablecloths for special holiday occasions and napkins for dressing tables and shelves. Presented master classes will help the beginner to decide on the choice of model, learn practical skills of knitting patterns and work with schemes. But the choice of method is always up to you!
