Shawl "Pineapples" crochet: knitting pattern

Shawl is a unique wardrobe item, which can be enjoyed with pleasure all year round. It will complement the winter kit with equal success and warm it on a cool summer evening. One of the popular patterns on the shawl is "Pineapples" (crocheted), the pattern of which is very simple. It remains only to decide whether to use a ready-made pattern or create your own using this element.

Choose a project

By itself "Pineapple" is just a small element that can be combined with other patterns or simply fill the space with a mesh. First of all, we will determine the form of future work. Knitting crochet shawls pattern "Pineapple" can be triangular, rectangular, square. The most elegant looks are the semi-circular shawls: when you wrap yourself in such a shawl, the effect of the wings is created. When developing the project, it should be taken into account that it is not always possible to get a square scheme from a triangular shawl.

With the help of modern technologies, you can easily make your circuit by composing several images of the same scale. This can be done by overlaying and removing unnecessary parts. When using this method, be sure to tie the sample to check the accuracy of the pattern.

Yarn for shawls

After the choice fell on the shawl crochet (pattern "Pineapple"), the scheme is already ready, you can proceed with the selection of yarn. If you use a ready-made scheme, the recommended yarn or its density is most often written there. But this does not mean that you should search for this particular thread. Let's briefly consider the main types of yarn:

• Mohair is a thin furry yarn of goats. Especially gentle and soft yarn with the marking "kid mohair", it means that only wool of young goats was used for production.
• Angora - yarn from the fluff of Angora rabbits. It is very soft and fluffy.
• Merino spun on the basis of wool, cut from the withers of a special breed of fine wool sheep.
• Alpaca is the wool of animals related to lame. Six is very solid. A distinctive feature is a characteristic luster that lasts for a long time on the finished product.
• Cotton. Mercerized cotton thread is perfect for knitting of summer shawls. Working with cotton is very convenient and easy to care for the finished work.

Reading a Schema

If for the first time you knit a Pineapple crochet with a crochet, the circuit must be carefully disassembled before starting work. A square product can start at an angle, from the center or from the bottom. Triangular can also have 2 options: go from the corner and gradually expand, or, conversely, start with a straight line and converge to an angle. Semicircular shawl always begins with the upper middle and diverges in a semicircle to the bottom.

On complex schemes, usually write the numbers of rows, this is very helpful for beginning knitters. Often the beginning of work is simply marked with a conventional sign. Uncomplicated schemes are usually not fully represented (only a few rapports), and then knitting goes along the pattern. If you have just mastered a few simple loops and first took up a lot of work, it might seem complicated. To overcome internal fear, draw some more rows of the circuit yourself. This will help understand the basic principle.

Crochet: shawl "Pineapple"

The knitting scheme for this shawl does not have complex loops or stitches, but it is worthwhile to consider the basic conventions. They are the same in most schemes.

• A point or circle indicates an air loop and a lifting loop.
• The cross signifies a half-column.
• A wand is a simple column or column without a crochet.
• A stick with one crossbar is a column with one overhang.
• Wand with 2 crossbeams - a column with 2 nakidami and further on the number of crossbeams.
• Sticks with one base mean that all the stiles are loosened from one loop.
• Sticks with one vertex - columns with one vertex. In each column a loop is not attached, remains on the hook, then they are all tied with one loop.
• An arc is indicated by several air loops. Usually under it there is a figure indicating their number, or it is read according to the previous scheme.

Sample

Before you begin to knit a shawl crochet "Pineapples", the description on the thread must be carefully read. There is always written the recommended size of the hook. We take the hook of the correct size and we sew 1 rapport. Rapport is a schematic element that is repeated several times.

You can stop by using a small square. The resulting sample is measured and the number of rapports in the circuit is considered. Multiplying these two numbers, we get the size of the future product. You can compare this figure with the scope of your hands: the shawl should not be much larger.

If the result suits, you can blunt to knitting. If not, we take the hook more or less, but this will also change the density of the knitting. The size can be changed by decreasing the rows or by linking the additional rapport. Continue the selection until we get a satisfying result.

Edge strapping

Crochet crochet "Pineapple" is already finished, but do you still feel that something is missing? Despite the fact that the scheme is fully provided, needleworkers like to bring their zest to the work of the original edging of the product.

"Pineapples" - an openwork pattern, for him you should not choose too heavy and tight edging. Most often enough additional strapping polustolbikom with the addition of pico. Pico - small protrusion of 3 air loops closed in one. "Fan" - also a fairly simple pattern, which looks great together with the "Pineapples".

Fringe and Brushes

Shawl "Pineapples", crocheted (the scheme is presented in the article) bound of wool, ideal with brushes. On the cotton version, a long fringe is appropriate. And for the fringe, and for the brushes, the first thing we do is to cut the threads of the same length, making it easy by wrapping the yarn on a rectangular cardboard and cutting it on one side. Do not reel a thick layer on one place, so you get different length of threads.

To make a brush, we sew a few threads in the middle, fold them in half and fix it with a knot under the base. You can use the upper thread to make the brush.

Fringe is much easier, but more laborious. Work with each piece separately. We take the hook and stretch the thread by the middle through the loop of the shawl. Both ends we conduct through the formed loop and tighten, a knot is obtained. Do not make a fringe in every loop: it turns out too lush. A fringe or a beautiful edging is an elegant finish. It will look much better and festive shawl "Pineapples" (crochet).

The scheme of the product is very simple, even a novice in crochet can cope with it. But the finished work looks effective and elegant. And the pleasure of wearing your own product is much more than from the thing you bought in the store.
