Crochet crafts - interesting photo ideas, simple master classes, useful tips

Where to start?

To create crochet crafts it is enough to learn the simplest elements:

• chain of air loops;
• semi-colon;
• column;
• columns with hooks;
• Crochet stitch.

In addition, it is necessary to remember the simple designations of the various loops in order to read the schemes for crochet crafts. Schemes can easily be found on the pages of women's magazines and on the Internet. Schemes are used not only by beginners, but also by masters with great experience, because a mistake can destroy the quality of the product.

For beginners

For beginners in knitting, it is better to start with small shapes - round or square. The most popular knitted crafts that do not require special skills:

• bedside mats,
• tackles in the form of fruit,
• teapot warmers,
• sofa cushions,
• small napkins,
• stool covers.

To make these things are suitable remnants of colored threads of different textures or unraveled knitwear

When the circles, ovals and squares are knitted automatically, you can move on to create larger and more time-consuming products - gifts, functional kitchen or room interior.

New Year's Eve crafts

On New Year's Eve it is customary to give each other gifts. When choosing gifts for friends and relatives we are guided by their hobbies and wishes. If you choose a little-known company, a great solution can be a nice little surprises of their own making. To create such gifts requires little time and materials. For example, you can knit small doilies in the form of snowflakes, Santa Claus faces or miniature symbols of the coming year. The figurine can be both flat and volumetric, with the addition of details of felt, artificial eyes, beads and beads.

Knitted cover for the coffee mug will protect the hands of the owner from contact with hot porcelain. Two colors reminiscent of winter are used as a base: blue and white. From blue yarn knit a base equal to about one-third the height of the cup, and the length - the circumference of the cup.

The resulting flap is tied around the perimeter with white yarn, you can with a small ruffle pattern. On the front side you can make an applique of thread, felt or crocheted parts with an image of a Christmas tree or Santa Claus. On one edge of the flap you sew a pair of buttons, on the other - make loops so that the handicraft will fasten on the cup.

It is traditional to decorate the Christmas tree for the New Year. And needlewomen can also make a small crocheted Christmas tree, for example, to decorate their desk in the office. For this you will need green and white yarn, as well as sequins, beads or tiny pompons. From the green yarn you knit a ring, and from the ring - a cone to the desired height of the future Christmas tree. Then, in a spiral around the resulting cone, a chain of columns with a stitch. White ruffles are knitted on top of the spiral row.

Knitted crafts will also be relevant for corporate parties, parties and children's matinees. In the design of the festive hall can play a significant role crocheted toys for the Christmas tree, angels and even the whole brightly colored crocheted garlands.

Easter crafts

Probably one of the most popular Easter souvenirs is a decorative bag for boiled eggs. To create it, you will need the smallest crochet hook, yarn matching the size of the hook, an egg to determine the size of the bag (it is better to use a wooden or Styrofoam one), a decorative ribbon.

The beginning of knitting is a ring (bottom), from which the sack grows up, taking the shape of an egg by adding loops. The top row is knitted in a pattern with holes, through which the ribbon is threaded.

Cute gifts

There are many more occasions for gifts. For children's birthdays, you can please them with funny and at the same time practical knitted handicrafts - pencil holders, bags-beasts for pajamas or handkerchiefs, boxes for storing toys.

Older people will appreciate nice little things for the kitchen - oven mitts, kettle warmers, coasters (individually or in sets). Fine napkins, crocheted tablecloths and curtains are back in fashion. Unusually and attractively look cushions, mats made of thick twisted yarn, decorative vases made of twine and storage baskets made of knitted yarn.

Practical little things for the home

Functional crocheted handicrafts are original and modern to the interior. And the use of natural dyes for the yarn (soluble coffee, cardade, turmeric, saffron) will give the products a unique charm.

On the basis of the scheme of knitting napkins you can make a cover for a faded lampshade of a sconce or a table lamp. The finished product should be soaked in salt water, squeezed well, and then dried on the old frame. To give additional shine, the threads are covered with a layer of acrylic varnish.

The atmosphere of coziness in the country style will create a rug thrown over the sofa. The rug is assembled from individual squares linked by the traditional, but not outdated "granny" square scheme. Elements are connected by simple columns or columns with a stitch, then tied the entire rug. Pillowcases for sofa cushions, created in the same technique, will be a great addition to the plaid.

An old pouffe will change beyond recognition if you make a crocheted case on it. On the side fabric you can make small pockets for small things, and as an additional decoration use buttons, beads, jewelry. Next to the renewed pouffe will look good a small rug made in the same style.

On the background of a light wall, photo frames in the style of Provence - openwork in pastel colors will look spectacular. Frames of any shape and color are used for the base, and the corners are complemented by crocheted bunches of delicate lilac, pink, light yellow with light greenery.

Many people since childhood remember grandmother's mats on the floor or seats on stools, bound from thick yarn or from strips cut from old knitwear. So colorful, soft, and most importantly warm and cozy during the cold season... Now in such ways tie cushions, kitchen towels, knit a coaster for hot food. A knitted yarn for these products can easily be made yourself from used t-shirts or capron tights.

A little imagination and desire will help you create a pom-pom rug. The work uses a minimum of tools and materials - knitting thread, scissors and your own hands. The thread is wrapped around the hand, tied and cut - you get a pompon. The necessary number of pompoms is fastened on a special basis for a rug or simply stitched together.

The reason for inspiration from a creative person can be anything. New ideas for knitted crafts can come both during a country walk, and when watching TV. And as a result, there are knitted cartoon characters, original copies of toys and other unique things. The most important thing is not to be afraid of creative experimentation.
