Original arrangement of patterns on the canvaswe will be able to create charming, exquisite lace clothing. The shape and successful combination of motifs give a magnificent result. Ideas for combining motifs should be next to the lace. You should learn to use them to see them in the finished fabric, be able to knit with various techniques and styles of knitting.

Golden rules for arranging motives
The choice of patterns of separately connected motifs, theirThe layout is truly a mystery of your vision of the product as a whole! Therefore, when starting knitting, before you start knitting, you should pay attention to the following notes. — When choosing motifs to connect them into a single whole, you should pay special attention to the layout of the motifs in the fabric. The success of your knitting depends on this in the future. — The more complex the motif you choose, the simpler the background mesh filling should be. — Identical motifs with a monotonous pattern do not look very interesting in the finished product. In this case, the fabric is divided according to the density of knitting motifs into dense and openwork patterns, into smaller and larger motifs. — Motifs can be knitted with a mesh or connected using a selected interesting background in the form of a mesh, as well as small connecting fragments. — The connection of motifs should be tight, without breaks; the edges of the motif should have a dense tied border. — If your product is knitted with curls from a braid, you do not have to strictly observe all its bends on the canvas, in this case it is much more important for you to independently analyze the chosen pattern and see in it opportunities for creativity. You should carefully study the details of the fabric and the patterns according to which you will be knitting, and also agree on the sizes and density of the motifs of the knitting style in which the model you have planned will be performed. — Cord knitting in all its variations consists of 3 stages: this is knitting a cord or replacing it with a purchased factory-made braid, laying it out according to the pattern and connecting the cords (braid) with the help of braids (barettes), which are most often performed with needle lace weaving. — Filling the gaps that form between the cord curls when they are attached to the base drawing (with the layout diagram applied to it) begins only after the cord is firmly attached to the pattern.
