Basics of crochet:fillet option The name of the knitting method "fillet" came to us from the French language, where it is used in the meaning of "mesh". It is not by chance that it is called so, since the knitted product consists of a mesh with a lot of filled and empty cells, which, in general, form the pattern. Fillet knitting is done as an imitation of similar lace - embroidery on a mesh, where the cells are filled with threads in accordance with a certain pattern. The same thing happens in the fillet knitting technology, but the cells are filled at once. Fillet knitting patterns are in many ways similar to patterns intended for cross-stitching, which, of course, are also used for fillet knitting. These patterns include "marked" (with circles, crosses or black fill) cells and empty ones. Finding fillet knitting patterns is not difficult. Their mass is from simple and non-voluminous things to entire canvases with a plot. However, when starting to knit fillet,It is advisable to knit a small element, for example, 10x10 cells (trying to use both filled and unfilled cells at the same time) and evaluate it. By comparing the resulting sample with the pattern according to which it is knitted, you can find out at the initial stage whether it will correspond to it. Otherwise, having started knitting a small napkin, you can end up with a full-fledged tablecloth. Try to take into account not only the size of the crochet hook, but also the thickness of the thread, as well as the density of the knitting. The thicker the thread, the larger the hook and the more "loose" the knitting, the more cells you will get, and vice versa. You will also understand from the sample whether it corresponds to a square, whether the grid is even, whether the cells are of the correct shape. At this stage, it is allowed to make certain adjustments. For example, you can increase the number of air loops, or vice versa, make their number smaller, start knitting columns with a yarn shorter or longer, or more tightly. The lattice (or grid) for fillet is knitted in various ways. In our opinion, the most optimal is: an unfilled cell is a column with one yarn, 2 air loops; a filled cell is 3 columns with one yarn. With this option, the grid will be even, and the cells will not be too large. Knitting fillet, as a rule, begins with knitting a chain of air loops (ch), the number of which is quite easy to calculate. One cell requires 3 ch chains (1 loop for a column with a yarn, 2 loops for the bottom of the cell), + 6 loops for the first cell of the initial row. If you need to knit a lot of cells (which is quite tedious in principle), you should knit a chain from a separate thread and start knitting the cells from the beginning of the chain. In this case, the missing loops, if necessary, can be added, and those that turn out to be superfluous can be unraveled. For this method, knitting the fillet is double-sided, and the resulting fabric has the same appearance from the back and from the front. Because when doing filet knitting, sometimes you startnot from the first row, then the starting point of the work is usually placed on the diagrams. Alternatively, an axial line is drawn in the center or elsewhere, from which they continue knitting in both directions. Another option is fillet knitting in parts, which are then connected into a single fabric. You can also knit from the middle in a circle, but in this case the knitting density may not match the diagram and it will need to be adjusted. When starting fillet knitting of a large-scale fabric, you need to buy yarn with a reserve, since when you decide to buy more yarn, its shades may not match the original color. The shape of the fabric in fillet knitting is not limited to a rectangle, but can be a circle, oval or polygon. The edges of the fabrics are decorated with waves, teeth, scallops and other various shapes. To form the required shape of the fabric, it is necessary to use the techniques of decreasing and adding cells in a row, which correspond to the general principles of crocheting. In addition to the usual mesh, when filet crocheting, a tulle background can be used, making the pattern of the fabric much more elegant. Knitting fillets requires complianceof the appropriate density, the columns should not be knitted "loosely", and the loops should not be stretched. Otherwise, the pattern will be "blurred", and the cells will be of irregular shape. It is recommended to use a hook one size or half of it smaller than required in accordance with the thickness of the thread. About the border in the technique of filet knitting. For many years, there was an opinion that the technique of filet knitting was used by our grandmothers only for small lace inserts, edging and ribbons, for the purpose of decorating underwear and clothes. There is some truth in this, because filet lace can turn even a simple and trivial thing from your wardrobe into a model of uniqueness and elegance. Of course, the possibilities of this knitting techniqueare not limited to borders and simple patterns. Thanks to fillet knitting, you can create very effective and multi-shaped napkins. The peculiarity of the fillet technique is that a more complex and interesting pattern requires significant space, which means that with an increase in the area of the fabric, there is room for the development and complexity of fillet knitting. Almost any theme can be embodied in the fillet technique, so its choice is not particularly difficult. We can list only the most attractive ones. The checkered fillet fabric contributes togeometry, due to which the pattern embodied in this technique turns out to be very colorful, especially since its knitting pattern is quite simple. No less impressive are the refined plant-flower compositions, especially roses, which are in great demand. Also very interesting and eye-catchingwe get plot canvases connected using the fillet technique. Another interesting theme is the animal world. In it, many try to embody the silhouettes of their pets or other representatives of the earth's fauna.If you are thinking about knitting curtains orlambrequins, tablecloths or bedspreads, choose the fillet technique. Such things will give any interior a piece of special warmth and charm, will help to create coziness in the house.For the opportunity to create products of various design, shape and style, filet knitting is one of the most favorite techniques among needlewomen and craftswomen.
