Shalju in Russia traditionally called the bigA rectangular scarf made of fine woolen fabric with a flower border or ornament. Today - a woven or knitted cloth of a large size of different shapes: a rectangle, a square, a triangle. For knitting shawls you will need 700 g of wool yarn and hook No. 3. The canvas shawl consists of separate square motifs in the center of which there is a three-dimensional flower. Link the motives according to the scheme, connecting them together in the last row for the "pico". Tie the finished fabric along the perimeter with a braid of 5 stitches with a crochet. Make the brush. A bit of the history of shawls. At the turn of the XVII-XX centuries, shawls made of wool of kashmina - a podpushka of high-mountain goats - were fashion. They began to be produced in Kashmir from the 15th century. In Europe, they fell due to the colonialists - the British. France went its own way Napoleon Bonaparte, paying much attention to the development of the textile industry, banned the importation of goods from England. Therefore, shawls appeared in France only after the "Egyptian" campaigns of the emperor. Later, his economist Terno established the production of shawls in France. They were superior to the Kashmiri elegance of the design, the fineness of the workings. Fashion for shawls was not accidental. They perfectly complemented fashionable at the time dresses in the style of "Empire" from the finest muslin with an overstated waist, a large neckline, with short sleeves, which suited little for countries with a cold climate. Fashion women, imitating the costumes of ancient Greek women, were frozen in them, ached and died. Doctors asked to cancel the fashion that caused such a large death rate. But the ladies did not want to give up such seductive clothes, they found a way out - they began to bask with shawls. Large rectangular shawls were aesthetically attractive, lightly warm. They saved the freezing ladies in the cold season, decorated in the warm. Shawls were for different occasions: for going out into the light, for ballroom dances, for visits, for the house. Multicolored, with an elegant design of the canvas, they were the decoration of any outfit. Napoleon's beloved wife, Josephine, had 400 different shawls. In Russia, eastern shawls were first imported. But already at the very beginning of the XIX century local production was adjusted. The process of weaving was very laborious and lasting from one and a half to two years. Such shawls were only available to nobility of 10-12 thousand rubles were a fortune. To expand and cheaper production, new types of raw materials were sought. They became a thin goat down. Shawls, produced in the workshops of the landowner Kolokoltsov, were weaved without inverting by the method of bilateral weaving. The landlord Yeliseyeva was able to replace the wool of Tibetan goats with saiga wool. Such shawls cost 200 rubles - the annual salary of the worker factory that produces them. Cheaper Kupavin shawls, produced in the factories of Prince Yusupov, they were worn only by merchants. The ability to wear shawls paid much attention. There was a time when the ability to wear shawls was taught in women's educational institutions and graduates danced in front of high-ranking guests, demonstrating grace and grace. Very large shawls (in three human height) were worn, wrapping one end around the arm, the other descended to the ground. At the corners were sewn gold balls, which with their weight kept the shawl in the right position. Sometimes the balls wove in the brush. Source: magazine Mod.

Crochet knitting

July 29, 2018 handmadebase

Classical woven oriental originhad a square or rectangular shape. The famous Orenburg shawl was also square. Wore it, folding it diagonally. So it's convenient to tie around the head, throw on the shoulders. Those who could not access these masterpieces of knitting art used wool of home spinning, thicker. Over time, new types of yarn of natural and man-made fibers appeared. Changed knitting, except for the spokes began to use the hook, the canvas itself became thicker. For heat, one layer of cloth was enough. Therefore, a common form of knitted shawls was a triangle. Let's talk about how the triangular forms of the canvas are crocheted. In Fig. 1 graphically depicts the options. 1. 1/2 of the square connected from the center. In this way, it is preferable to knit in the event that you can not calculate the amount of yarn required for the product. If by the end of knitting you are bitterly convinced that it is really not enough, do not despair, and change the design. For example, alternate strips of the remaining yarn with strips of harmonious colors. They will lie down at an angle, forming a shawl edging. Or tie some additional motives from the extra yarn, including the remains of the main yarn in them. Let them serve as a border. Or change the pattern of the main mating towards the openwork, but keep the knitting density (the number of knitting elements per unit length). For example, if the web is connected by a loin knit with an alternating empty and filled cell, then smoothly move from them to partially filled and then to unfilled cells. The beginning of the knitting of the canvas is a ring of 5 VP. The expansion of the canvas goes along the lateral lines and from both sides of the diagonal (Scheme 1). To the side lines did not tighten, the edge column knit with two nakidami, and for lifting, perform 4 VP. Patterns of mating may be the most diverse small background in the presence of a border or with a pronounced banding to emphasize the angle. 2. From an acute angle with increments along the edges. In this case, for the beginning of knitting, a VP for the minimum number of knitting elements is picked up or a ring of 3 VPs is closed. so that the angle remains sharp. Adding the canvas on the sides is done according to the scheme 2. Select the mating at your discretion, but the number of increments on each side when knitting CIH should be equal to two. The rows of mating will be placed horizontally across the entire shawl. 3. From the level side with a decrease near the diagonal. Rarely used, there is no symmetry in it. On the diagonal side there is a constant decrease in the web (Scheme 3). The AB side may be longer than AB (Figure 2). This is checked by calculation in density and adjusted by a decrease of not 2, but 3 CIH in some rows. 4. From the diagonal side with the margins at the edges. This is a more common way of knitting than the previous one. The knitting option is shown in Figure 4. The fabric will be symmetrical, the pattern will be parallel to the diagonal side. Starting to knit, make sure that the yarn is enough for the whole volume of knitting. In extreme cases, leave the corner truncated, as if so conceived. The missing corner can be filled with a triangular motive according to the size of the missing web from the harmonious yarn, and from the small triangular motifs make a rim (Fig. 3). I think that every craftsman will find his way out of this situation. The choice of the method of knitting is yours. In any case, according to tradition, the accent is on the decor: lush long brushes made of sliced yarn, connected by chains of air posts, brush-spirals, fringes, bound of effective yarn, motifs, guipure, ribbon lace ... There are many ways, choose to create your own masterpiece. Do not limit your imagination. Let the starting point for her serve as models of this and previous magazines. Good luck to you!
