Learning to knit an original crochet hook according to the instructions with photos and diagrams
Variants of crocheting potholders We offerWe present to your attention an interesting potholder "Penguin", which you can crochet yourself. To begin, stock up on: yarn "Chamomile" (density 320 m / 100 g, cotton 100%) in five colors: orange, black, yellow, white and blue, 30 grams of each, crochet hook No. 3, plastic eyes. We form the base with white yarn, knitting a chain of 32 air loops (ch) and then follow the pattern. After this, we tie the entire square with one row of single crochets (sc) with blue yarn. In the center of the top of our square, we knit a row of 20 ch and tie it with a row of sc.For the beak, take an orange thread and knit 3 VP,connecting with a ring. In the middle of the ring we knit 6 sc, and in the next row we knit the following combination three times: 3 sc in 1 loop, 1 sc. For the headphones we will use blue yarn. We make a chain of 33 VP and knit 1 row of sc along it. Then we take a yellow thread and knit 2 ellipses: we form a chain of 8 VP and tie it with 8 sc on one side and 8 double crochets (dc) on the other side. From blue yarn we knit a scarf: 4 VP along which we repeat the following series of sc eight times: 2 rows in blue and 2 rows in yellow. Then 2 stripes of fringe are knitted: we repeat the combination five times - 8 VP, sc. We assemble the product in the following order: we sew all the elements to the base, as shown in the illustration, and glue the plastic eyes.
The next version of the potholder is called“Little Hen”. It looks pretty cute and is easy to knit. To knit two of these potholders measuring 25x22 centimeters, you will need:
- for model "A" (chickens) 100 grams of yarn of the brand "Catania" (density 125 m/50 g, 100% cotton) in khaki, orange, yellow, black, tangerine;
- for model "B" (chicken): 100 grams of the same white yarn, 50 grams each of pearl, bright yellow, red, black and khaki;
- hook knitting №4.
Let's start with model "A".Knit with two threads. Cast on 11 ch from khaki threads and knit according to the counting pattern of sc, in each row knit 1 ch instead of one sc. When changing the color, knit the last loop of the previous color with the next shade. Lead part of the unused thread behind you and remove it into knitting. Large sections are knitted from several balls. At the top, cast on 8 ch from khaki yarn for the loop on which we will hang the potholder, and then tie it with one circle "crayfish step" (sc from left to right).Finally, we sew the lines using a stem stitch.seam; eyes with a knot stitch with black yarn; the beak - with an orange thread in satin stitch; the outline - with a chain stitch with tangerine-colored yarn in one thread. We move on to model "B", which we knit with a double thread. From khaki yarn, we dial 17 VP and knit according to the sc pattern, knitting one VP in each row instead of one sc. Next, we tie the potholder along the edge with one row of sc of the same color. We embroider lines with a stem stitch, eyes - with a satin stitch with black yarn in one thread. We start the loop on which the potholder will be hung from the top of the star with one half-column without a yarn over with white yarn, form 8 VP, fasten one half-column without a yarn over at the second star and tie 10 sc. Another interesting option for a knitted potholder is the "Goldfish". Due to its motley coloring, this potholder will be a bright addition to your kitchen. It is knitted easily and quickly. To get two potholders measuring 18x22 centimeters, you need the following:
- yarn of orange, blue, turquoise, yellow, red, white and green flowers, each 50 g (90 m / 50 g, 100% cotton);
- hooks knitting №2 and №3.
We start knitting with model "A".Using orange yarn, cast on 8 ch with hook No. 3 and then knit the fins with sc, focusing on the diagram, while not forgetting to replace the first sc of each row with one ch. At the end of the 47th row, tie the product with orange yarn with sc. In the places marked with an asterisk, make a loop for hanging. For this purpose, knit to the second asterisk, then cast on 12 ch and attach one half-column without a crochet at the first asterisk. After this, tie the loop with sc and continue the circle along the contour of the product. Embroider the fish mouth using a chain stitch and red yarn. Make the eyes like this: take hook No. 2 and mercerized yarn, knit one white circle with a diameter of 2 centimeters and one black circle with a diameter of 1 centimeter. For this purpose, we collect 4 VP and 1 half-column without a yarn, close it into a ring and then knit in a circle with single crochet stitches to the required size, smoothly adding loops. Having finished the eyes, we sew them to the potholder and it is ready!In the process of knitting model "B", everything happens in the same way as in the previous model, only the yellow and orange yarns change places.
