A detailed master class with a photo will teach you how to make knitted flowers, you will get a carnation crochet.
February 23 is the day of real men,Defenders of the Fatherland! On this wonderful holiday, we give our men gifts. And it is for this day that we will knit a flower in this master class that will always represent happiness, boundless joy and, of course, victory. The carnation does not take long to knit. But it looks truly festive and very beautiful. From afar, it even resembles a living flower. To knit a carnation, we will need:
- yarn (white, red and green);
- hook;
- tap-tape;
- wire or newspaper tube.
We will start from the flower itself.And we will make it white with a bright red border. You can also knit a simple red or pink carnation. So, first, we will dial a chain of air loops. There should be eight loops. Now we simply form a ring from our resulting chain, into which our knitting will begin.Next we start knitting the flower.At the beginning of the row we will always make three air loops. We will have such a small chain of loops instead of the first column with a yarn over. And then we will knit only with columns with a yarn over. We knit twenty-five columns in a circle formed from the air chain. And at the very end we will connect the end and the beginning of our first row with a connecting loop.Now let's start knitting the second row.It should contain more columns. Therefore, we will double their number. And we will knit two columns in each loop. So, at the end of the circular row, we will have fifty columns. And the knitting will already begin to curl. It will become wavy. This is what we need so that the flower turns out lush.In the third row we will double the number of columns again. And we will get a hundred pieces at the end of the row. The flower will start to curl even more.Again in the next fourth row we will doublenumber of loops. And we will get as many as two hundred pieces. And then we will go to alternate knitting. We knit one column in a loop, then two, one again and so on in a circle. And here we no longer double the number of loops, but still add. And at the end of knitting this row we will get only three hundred columns. We will knit the fifth row similarly to the fourth. And in it we will get four hundred loops. That's it. This is where knitting the main element of the flower is finished. This is how fluffy it turns out.Now let's take some bright red yarn andLet's tie our flower. You can do without the red color and tie it with the same white yarn. But a two-color carnation will look more interesting. We knit one single crochet. And make three air loops. And again in the next column we will knit a single crochet. And so on in all the columns in the previous row.This is the kind of flower we will get.Now we will tie some leaves for him.Let's make twenty-one loops. We knit in the following loops as follows: a connecting column, one single crochet, one half double crochet, one double crochet and thirteen double crochets. And then one double crochet, half double crochet, single crochet and a connecting column.Next we will make a stem for the leaves and flower. We will take either wire or a newspaper tube, wrap it with tape. And do not forget to attach our leaves to the stem.Now we glue it on with hot glue ourselvesflower to the top of the stem. You need to glue it as tightly as possible so that the flower does not dangle or hang down. This is the bright and fluffy carnation we get! It can be used to decorate pillows. You can also knit a couple more of the same flowers and collect these flowers into a beautiful festive bouquet, which you can use to decorate your home or give to someone.
