How to quickly knit small openwork napkins “for hot” crochet? DIY tutorial on knitting openwork napkins
Beautiful openwork crochet napkins alwayswere popular with needlewomen. They can be large and small, multi-colored and monochromatic. They perfectly complement the interior and emphasize the style and individuality of the owner of the home. Small napkins - hot pads - are especially popular now. They are knitted quite quickly, and look very beautiful and original.
What is necessary?
To knit one of these napkins - coasters we will need:
- hook;
- yarn.
You can choose yarn of any color you like.I have lilac. It is better to take not very thick yarn. Because napkins made of thick yarn do not look very neat. You can use, for example, baby yarn for napkins. It is soft and not thick.
Stages of work
We start knitting the napkin from the middle,center. We need to dial five air loops. We will close them into a ring. Now we will knit twenty-four double crochets into the resulting ring. But the first column will be replaced by air loops. We will make three of them. At the end, we will need to join the air chain that we made at the very beginning of knitting, to its third loop.
Let's move on to the second row.We make three air loops and one more loop for lifting. In knitting, we skip one loop, and in the next we knit one double crochet. After that, we again make three air loops and skip one loop of the previous row. And in the next we knit a double crochet. So we will continue knitting in a circle.
Now we move on to knitting the third row.napkins. We make three air loops at the beginning of the row. They will again replace one double crochet. And in the cell (or arch) we will knit four double crochets. We will make one air loop and knit five double crochets in the next arch. And so we knit further.
Let's move on to knitting the fourth row.In this row we will knit arches of five air loops. We will make five air loops and knit a single crochet under the air loop of the third (previous) row. We will knit like this until the end of this row.
Only the last arch will be knitted differently. Here we will make three air stitches and knit a double crochet. This way we will end up in the middle of the arch.
Let's move on to knitting the fifth row.We make three air loops and knit two double crochets into the arch. But we will not knit each column to the end. That is, we will knit two loops from each column. So, we will have three loops on the hook. We will knit them together.
This is a lush column. We will make three air loops and knit a lush column into the second arch. And again we will make three air loops. We will knit another lush column into the same arch.
Let's make three air loops again and move on tothe next arch. So we will tie all the arches of the previous row. At the end we will knit not three air loops, but one and a double crochet into the top of the lush column. This is necessary in order to get back to the center of knitting.
Let's move on to knitting the sixth row.Now we will knit arches of five air loops. We will make five air loops and knit a single crochet under the arch. And so we tie the future napkin in a circle. At the end of the row, we make two air loops and knit a double crochet to find ourselves in the middle of the element again.
Let's move on to knitting the seventh (last) row.In the arch we knit seven columns with one yarn over. We make three air loops and under the same arch we knit seven more such columns. We connect under the next arch with a single crochet. Next we knit five air loops and join the next arch with a single crochet. And once again we knit five air loops and connect with the next arch. In the next arch we knit the same element again. We will knit like this until the end of the row.
This is the kind of napkin we get – a hot stand! You can knit several of these napkins and serve coffee or tea by placing the cups on such stands.
