We knit a crochet of plaids from squares: advice to beginner needlewomen

Any kind of needlework begins to comprehend from its basics. This applies, in particular, to crochet. Before you start making garments, you need to learn how to perform the simplest patterns and ornaments. Let's try to make a medium- sized children's rug, crocheted from squares in the form of a straight leaf. Such work will be able to even beginners skilled workers. Have enough patience, as it will take a lot of time. So, we knit a crochet of plaid, using threads of several colors.

Selection of material and ornament

Before you start working, you need to immediately stock up on everything you need. If we crochet a plaid about 90 cm in width and 140 cm in length, we need to take about 1500-1700 g of yarn. The weaving at the same time will not be too dense, so for skilled workers without experience it is better to use the hook No. 4,5-5. Immediately decide on the color. In the manufacture of stylish pieces usually use several shades of a single color scheme. Then the stitched squares in the form of a transition from one tone to another look very beautiful. But, of course, you can take the remains of different threads, for example 3-4 colors. The main thing is that they have the same structure and thickness. Separately want to say about the material. If we crochet a plaid for a child, then it is better to choose natural cotton or wool. After all, synthetic threads can cause an allergic reaction. After preparing all that is needed, you can begin to remove ornaments.

Secrets and methods of workpieces

It is very important to comply with the main rule when we knit a plaid crochet: for beginners, you will also need a centimeter tape for measuring. What's so special about making a simple rectangular canvas? It turns out that the product turned into a beautiful and smooth plaid, all the squares should be strictly the same size. Therefore, regardless of the pattern and selected matings, one must not forget about this important secret.

Let's list the main ways of making ornaments:

• Knitting in a straight line. To do this, a chain of 15-20 air loops is typed and knitted with columns with or without a crochet until a square shape is obtained. Such a workpiece can be either monophonic or consist of alternating rows of different colors.
• Tied in a circle. The initial 4-5 loops are closed, and then the work is conducted in a spiral. To obtain a square shape in four places, increments are made in accordance with the scheme. More experienced needlewomen knit plaids consisting of hexagons.

Assembling the product

When we crochet a plaid of a strictly defined size, it is necessary to make a pattern of the product or to make the necessary calculations in advance. Then, measuring the length of the side of one square, you can easily calculate how many of them will be necessary to obtain the desired size of the veil. Lay out the related blanks, successfully choosing the transition of one color to another. Then connect them in one of two ways:

• With the help of a needle. The seam will be completely invisible if, when tying ornaments of squares, the decoration with other colors is provided only in its inner part, and the last rows are all the same. Take a thread of the same shade and sew all the blanks, placing them in rows.
• Crocheting. This method is used for squares of different colors and allows you to decorate the blanket with contrasting original lines. When applying the blanks to each other, combine them in the form of rows.

Finish the finished plaid around the entire perimeter with several rows of columns and trim with fringe.
