In the first case, you will enjoy the work done, and in the second you will certainly hear a lot of grateful words.

Crochet a plaid of motifs. General recommendations

Any rug, connected in the technique, implying the connection of motives, is carried out in compliance with the general rules. Here are some of them.

The simplest variant, suitable for linking plaids with crochets from motifs, is the production of square-shaped elements.

Collected in a single whole canvas usually tied around the perimeter. The ways of tying can be different - from openwork, made with a wide strip, to dense and narrow, for example, using the technique of "pacing step". Plaids crocheted from the motifs associated with the remains of yarn, pleasing their beauty and brightness, although they resemble the "rustic" style. But if you pick up other shades and in a small amount, the knitted plaid will look very stylish.

What else can a rug of this kind differ from each other? Connection method. The first photo shows a blanket, where all the motifs are the same size and connected in series. There are other options, for example, as in the next photo.

In this version, all the squares have different sizes, and their connection requires special care, accuracy and assiduity. If you possess these qualities, you will certainly cope with such a task. This option covers looked more original and stylish than the previous one. Yes, and knit such a rug is much more interesting, since there is no monotonous work on knitting the same motifs. Almost all the elements of this were covered different not only in size, but still differ in pattern and color. All the rugs crocheted from the motives are knit quite simply, the main thing in this matter is accuracy.

Size and other nuances

Now about the size of the veil. Naturally, the larger the size of the rug, the more labor-intensive process of work you expect. But it's not necessary to make it huge. Small rugs, which can be hidden to the waist or covered shoulders, are also very relevant. Knitting is so much faster and easier.

The size of the motives also varies in a fairly large gap. From very small, 5x5 cm to huge, having a size of 50x50 cm. Just in the photo you can see how the connection of large motifs is performed. What option will you use in your work, decide on your own.

In addition to size, there are other differences. For example, a pattern, which knits motives for a plaid crochet. Their schemes are quite diverse. They can be connected in a circle or a normal straight knitting, be invoiced or smooth, openwork or solid. In general, there are lots of options, and each of them is good in its own way.

Another idea for the creation of blankets involves the use of different motifs in one product. For example, solid mating and openwork.

In the photo above, you can see how beautiful these blankets look. Such a rug, made in the patchwork technique, will decorate any interior. It combines motifs of solid mating, lacework and decorated with applique.

Mixing motifs

Plaid of square crochet motifs will be of high quality, provided that all elements are skilfully fastened together. To connect the motifs into a single canvas, there are several ways. Let's consider some of them. One of the most difficult is the option of joining during knitting motifs. By tying the last row of one motive, one must perform its fastening to the other. For beginner needlewomen this is a rather complicated method. In addition, it requires a special calculation and use of the connection scheme. And it does not fit any form of motive. Therefore, let us consider simpler methods.

One of them is a connection with a needle. For this, the motifs are folded to each other and sewed together with the same thread that was used for their knitting. Please note that the seam should be very neat and as inconspicuous as possible. Since, unlike clothes made of motives, a plaid is a two-side product.

Method of connection by crochet

Another way is to use a hook. Just like in the previous method, the motives are formed by the person in relation to each other. Then using the hook and yarn, they are fixed by means of connecting posts. These columns resemble pillars without a crochet, but differ in that, having dragged the thread through the edges of the motifs, it is immediately pulled through the hook already, not carrying the working thread. Such a seam turns neat and will not catch your eye.

And finally, the last method. To use it, you will also need a hook. The connection of motifs occurs by untying the mesh between them. This is done so. To the edge of one of the motifs, a thread is attached, and two air loops are knit, then they are attached to another motif using a column without a crochet. Then again two air loops and joining to the first motive. As a result of this fastening, an openwork mesh is obtained. The size of the cells is controlled by the distance between the fasteners. Such a connection, made with a contrasting thread, looks very beautiful.

Children's blankets. Stylish ideas

Knitting a children's rug almost does not differ from those listed above. But what then is the blanket for the baby different from the option for adults? Of course, a way of decorating. Any crumb will like a rug, decorated, for example, with muzzles of animals. In the photo above it is a bear cub. This children's blanket is made in the same technique as adults. And the applique is made of crocheted elements. It is not difficult to do this, as it is enough to simply connect the circles with columns with a crochet, this will be the muzzle. A spout, eyes and mouth can be simply embroidered with a needle.

Original children's plaid of motives

Hook to tie a baby blanket is not solved by many, because they believe that it will be more stringent than made with knitting needles. But some options are amazing with their beauty. And you can get rid of stiffness by using thinner threads and a hook, the size of which is slightly more than the required for the chosen yarn. Here is an example of such a rug, designed for small princesses. Even beginners can master it. The main thing when knitting this blanket is the selection of yarn. With a harmonious combination of colors, your plaid will look special, like a real veil in the royal chambers.

The knitting of this masterpiece begins with motifs made with columns without a crochet. What kind of form they will be, you decide. You can make them square or rectangular, large or small. The highlight of this model is in color combination and exquisite vans on the perimeter of each motif.

So, having connected the necessary number of motives of two shades, you can start assembling the rug. To do this, use one of the connection methods given above. This is either a connection using a needle, or using a hook.

After the rug has got the shape you need, we turn to its decoration. To do this, on the perimeter of each of the elements we knit the columns without the crochet in the same color as the motif. In order to obtain a kind of volancher, it is necessary to tie several posts into one loop. The more they will be located in one place, the more magnificent the shuttlecock will be.
