Snoop crochet: diagram and description

Snug called the popular in the past few years a circular scarf. The principle of its manufacture is simple to the extreme. This is an elementary strip of knitted flat fabric, closed in a circular cloth. There are several ways to knit, each of which has its own specifics. A common feature of the snobs described in this article is that they are all crocheted.

Choice in favor of a hook

Knitting knitting is a classic. However, this method has several drawbacks:

• Long term of manufacturing (even at work with a thick string to knit longer, than a crochet).
• When choosing a pattern that is a bit more complicated than a rubber band, a one-sided canvas is obtained.
• Knitting with knitting needles is generally more troublesome than similar crochet work.

In addition, the snitch crochet (the scheme of almost any smooth pattern is perfect for this) is more dense and warm.

What kind of yarn to choose?

Knitting crochet crochet will suit any yarn of medium thickness. When choosing a material, you should think about the final form of the finished product, as well as think over the style of his socks. If the scarf is supposed to be worn on the head, then the canvas should be more or less soft (the thread is 200-400 m / 100 g). Too tight snod will stick and cause difficulties in the formation of folds (thick thread 50-200 m / 100 grams).

Knit crochet hooks (schemes and descriptions on the net often come along with recommendations for yarns), preferably from a material with a natural composition. Optimal content is 40-60% wool, angora or mohair. As an additive can go acrylic, cotton or bamboo. The last two materials are of vegetable origin, so they will not roll down when you wear it.

Of course, you can use very thick yarn, as in the photo with a brown scarf. However, then it is required to use a large hook (from 7 and above), to watch the density of binding and not to tighten it. Do not look for complex patterns in order to tie such a large snare crochet. The scheme will suit the simplest, up to the elementary columns with a crochet.

To break a head over a choice of a pattern or a combination of several schemes it is possible, if the scarf will be openwork and bound of a thin thread (400 m / 100 grams and thinner).

The simplest crochet knitting pattern

As already mentioned above, the easiest way to make a circular scarf is by simple stitches with a crochet. Here, even a circuit is not needed.

Often, circular knitting is used to perform the snore. This avoids the need to sew the product after completion of work. But knitting in circular rows has its drawbacks:

• The offset of the pattern with each next row is slightly to the side. The same happens with the place of comparison of the beginning and the end of the series. It should be neat and smooth, you should follow this.
• When you turn on colored threads, you should carefully formulate their introduction.
• There is a risk of gradual expansion of the canvas. Most often this is due to the random addition of loops during the transition from one row to another.

Avoiding circular knitting, you can make just a flat strip and then sew it neatly. Each skilled worker chooses for herself how to knit a snitch.

Openwork snod crochet: charts and description

The greatest difficulties begin when you want to tie a scarf with an openwork pattern. It is important to plan the model in advance and compare the selected yarn with the pattern. Below, the photographs show simple patterns that are suitable for knitting snodes.

They can be used for yarns, the thickness of which is not less than 300 m / 100 grams, otherwise the holes in the pattern will be too large, and the scarf itself - rigid. These patterns will give a more or less continuous canvas, it will be both beautiful and warm. The next pattern consists mainly of chains of air loops, so the scarf will turn out to be rather soft and loose, with a lot of holes.

This pattern is ideal if you plan to use angora or mohair yarn as a material. Such a snitch, crocheted (the scheme leaves room for emphasizing the advantages of a fleecy thread) will turn out to be soft, warm and elegant at the same time. If desired, you can replace the columns with a crochet in the second row of "bush" on the air posts. Then the pattern will become more voluminous and stand out against the background of the grid.

Crochet knitting along

To ensure that the pattern on the scarf was located along the canvas, you should start knitting with a very long chain of air loops. Its size is determined by counting loops in a preassembled pattern. This stage should not be underestimated, since it avoids the unraveling and fitting of the product to the size.

The sample is knitted from the selected yarn and the selected pattern. Only then will the calculations be correct. Counting the number of loops of the pattern for 10 cm of canvas, you can find out how many loops you need to type to tie the snitch crochet. A scheme for this knitting fits any.

The length of the series with this method of knitting will be the length of the scarf, and the height of the canvas is its width.

Snood bound across

This method is slightly simpler than the previous, it allows you to make a snap crochet faster. The scheme of the rows with this knitting is much shorter. A sample is also required here. Otherwise you can suddenly find out that the scarf is too narrow and you need a strapping, or vice versa - excessive width does not allow you to meet the yarn limit.

The length of each row with this knitting will be equal to the width of the finished scarf. And the height of the canvas is the length of the snore. The peculiarity of this method is the impossibility of using circular knitting.

Shutdown

Using information on how to knit crochets with crochet, with schemes and recommendations regarding the process itself, do not forget about the finish phase. After the scarf is ready, it should be washed in warm water (in no case, not in hot water) and dried in the unfolded form. In the future, the snood will need to be erased in this way.

Hot water leads to shrinkage of woolen and angor fibers, and hanging can provoke its uneven stretching.

If you want to change the size of the snitch, stretch or align the binding, you can steam it with a steam iron through a wet, thin cloth. However, do not get carried away, as high temperatures can lead to shrinkage. And if in a yarn the high content of acrylic (more than 60%), then the steamed canvas becomes too soft.

The above tips for making snacks can only be a guide for knitters, since each product has its own specifics and needs an individual approach.
