Knitting of a scarf with knitting needles: schemes and description of work

Openwork scarf, knitted with needles, can be both a functional accessory, and a decorative element. Depending on the size of the product, it is used to be worn on the head or on the shoulders. At the same time, a very large openwork kerchief, knitted with needles, becomes a full-fledged shawl.

Types of kerchiefs

Based on the type of knitting used to make the product, several types of kerchiefs can be distinguished:

• Bound by the angle.
• Made in the form of a flat cloth.

As a rule, the knitting of the scarf with knitting needles (schemes and description of individual types of products follow below) is the formation of a web of triangular shape. The difference between different products is precisely what method is used to form corners.

General patterns of knitting kerchiefs with knitting needles

Regardless of which type of knitting is chosen by the craftsman, several obligatory actions are necessary:

1. Manufacture and measurement of a control sample.
2. Determination of the size of the future product, comparison of dimensions with the chosen pattern, as well as calculation of loops and rows.
3. If it is a question of the work of increased complexity, for example, the composition of the canvas of motifs, then it is necessary to make a schematic representation of the product and to indicate the arrangement of all the elements.

The described recommendations are relevant for knitters with any experience and experience. Knitting for beginners, of course, is more easy to pattern and model, but the correct combination of yarn and ornament, as well as accurate work performance is important for any product.

What threatens knitting by eye?

Disadvantages of planning often cause many problems. Here are examples of the most frequent troubles that women face:

• Impossibility to place all rapports of the pattern on the canvas, "trimmed" fragments of the ornament.
• Violation of the proportions of the scarf (too sharp or, conversely, an obtuse angle).
• Unsuccessful combination of yarn and pattern, excessively dense or openwork.

Forming an angle

This method is most often used by most knitters. Its advantages are that you can monitor the size of the scarf during its manufacture and stop working at any stage. Also, you do not need to knit individual elements and then sew them together. An excellent example of such a product can serve as a kerchief in green on one of the photos.

The beginning is a set of loops for the widest edge and their gradual contraction. As an alternative, the kerchief is knit from the corner, that is, the hinges will need to be added. The length of the wide side is usually 80-100 cm if the product is planned to be worn on the shoulders, and 50-80 cm when the scarf will play the role of a scarf. Knitting for beginners can consist in making a headscarf on the head for a child or for an adult. In this case, it is necessary to remove the appropriate measures and work with the dimensions obtained.

Angular knitting of a kerchief with knitting needles (the schemes and the description of the process are given for the method of forming the angle by adding loops) occurs as follows:

• They pick up three loops. The first row is primed.
• In the second row, before and after the central loop, the nakids are performed (addition of two loops).
• Depending on the pattern and the desire of knitters themselves, nakida can be cast so that a beautiful hole is formed. This is true if you are doing openwork knitting kerchiefs with knitting needles. The diagrams and description of such a product can be easily found in any specialized magazine. If desired, you can make a fabric without holes. To do this, the loops should be added, by attaching additional ones from the broaches between the existing ones.
• In the third (purl) row, all hinges and napids are tied, including.
• To form the right triangular shape of the scarf, parallel with the additions in the center of each row, you must perform a reduction in its beginning and end. This procedure is continued until the edge of the product of the required length is formed. Then only add loops.
• In the same way continue to build up the canvas.
• When the length of the kerchief becomes the same as the planned size, the work should be stopped.

In this way, the product can be associated with any pattern, its rapports gradually enter the knitting process when adding loops.

Simple knitting of a scarf with knitting needles: schemes and description

A simpler and more understandable way of making a triangle is to knit a flat fabric with the selected pattern, with a gradual contraction or, alternatively, the addition of loops at the beginning and end of each row. This method can be used when working with thin mohair or angora. To obtain a very light lace fabric, the patterns below are suitable.

Knitted kerchief from mohair with knitting needles is easy to manufacture and looks very attractive. The only difficulty is the specificity of the thread itself: because of the long nap, it is not easy to dissolve the finished fabric. Sometimes such a task is almost impossible, so you should avoid the occurrence of errors in the process of knitting.
