How to finish crochet? Unique products with simple skills

The number of crochet fans is growing every year. And no wonder! After all, in a very short time with the help of such a simple tool, at first glance, you can create a lot of beautiful and original products.

Information on this topic abound. In various knitting magazines there are a lot of articles and mini-courses that describe crochet in the smallest detail, with diagrams and useful tips for beginners. It is not difficult to master this craft.

Where to start and how to finish?

Crocheting always starts with a chain of air loops. At the free end, the filaments form a loop. Then a hook is threaded into it, a thread is threaded over it, grasped and pulled back. We received a small chain of two air loops. All the following are formed in the same way. The basis of knitting is ready. Next, continue to knit according to the pattern.

Practically does not require an explanation of the answer to the question of how to finish. Crocheting favorably differs from spokes in that at any moment of the process, only one loop remains free. This allows you not to stray and lose loops, even for beginners. To close the loop, you need to cut the thread coming from the tangle, completely pull it through the last loop and tighten. The remaining "tail" should be carefully hidden. That's all the details on how to finish.

Crochet - Columns

The basis of the canvas when crocheting is a column. It can be tied in three basic variants: without a crochet, with a crochet and a half-tattoo.

• Stack without crochet. Leave two air lifting loops, insert the hook into the third (in front to back direction), grasp the loose thread and pull them through the loops. On the hook formed two loops. In one movement we stretch a loose thread through them. The bar is ready.

• Polustolbik. As in the previous version, we leave two lifting loops. But now grab a free thread and stretch it through all the available loops at once.

• Stacked with crochet. This kind is used to increase the height of the row. We leave three lifting loops (since the column is higher), we thread the thread on the hook, insert it into the fourth loop, grab the free thread and stretch it through the two extreme loops on the hook. We repeat the operation several times.

Column one, different ways

Using only these three basic elements, but by tying them in different ways, you can get a lot of different patterns

• The bars are tied behind the back half loop of the previous row, while the canvas is obtained by volume, with convex and concave rows.

• If you knit the bars behind the front loop, the web remains smooth, with flat horizontal stripes.

• You can also fasten the posts to the wrong side loops: we insert the hook behind the horizontal jumper, located slightly below the top of the previous row. With this method, a pigtail is formed on the wrong side.

In addition to these methods, it is possible to tie the columns of the krays, from the lower rows, to the air loops. Determining the most appropriate option is difficult, especially for those who have just started crocheting. Schemes and descriptions will always tell in detail all the nuances of making this or that product.

What can be crocheted?

The answer is simple: you can connect everything. First of all, with the help of a hook knit women's, men's, children's clothes, as well as various decorative details and accessories to them. For example, most recently returned to fashion undeservedly forgotten "grandmother's" lace collars. And you can also make cuffs, overhead flat and bulk flowers.

Interior items, decorated with hand crocheted crochet, have long been a rarity. It can be plaids, pillows, lace tablecloths and napkins, even curtains and carpets. And with the help of a hook, skillful hands can create cute amigurumi toys.

The process of creating products with the help of a hook is extraordinarily fascinating. It's very difficult to stop. Therefore, there is the expression "knit by drinking," that is, do it everywhere: in transport, in minute pauses during cooking in the kitchen, at work during lunch breaks, etc. For many craftsmen, the question of how to finish crocheting does not Does not apply to the end of the series - they ask how they stop and rest a little.
