The master class will teach you how to knit a useful craft for your home with your own hands – glass warmer
What could be cozier than a glass of hot tea?A glass warmer will help add warmth to any tea party. It will protect your hands from the surface being too hot, and the tea, on the contrary, from cooling down prematurely. Knitting a glass warmer using Tunisian knitting is easy and simple. And it looks beautiful and unusual. You can knit it for yourself or give it to your family and friends. This master class will tell you how to do it.
To make a mug warmer you will need:
- threads of blue and white flowers (approximately 40 grams);
- hook number 4;
- a pair of buttons.
Let's start knitting with a chain of air loops. The length of the chain should be 2 cm less than the height of the mug. We cast on 15 loops.
Now we will cast on stitches for the first row.We cast on the loops like this: insert the hook into the very first loop of the chain, closest to the hook. Pull the working thread out of it - the first loop is ready. We do not knit it, but leave both loops on the hook.
From the second loop of the chain we will pull the thread again. There will be three loops on the hook.
And so we continue to the end of our row. There are 15 loops on the hook.
Now we begin knitting the first row. To do this, we knit one air loop. And then we knit all the loops on the hook in pairs.
Having reached the end of the row, knit the last two loops as one.
And we start knitting the second row. We make the first air loop of lifting. And again we will collect 15 loops on the hook. We will pull the working thread through the back wall of the loops of the first row.
And so again we cast on 15 loops on the hook.
We knit the second row.
And the third. After three rows, change the thread to white. To do this, knit the air loop of the beginning of the row with a white thread. Do not cut the blue thread.
We cast on loops on the hook with white thread.
And we knit one row with white thread.
Then we change the thread to blue again. Now we have two working threads - white and blue. We do not cut them, but simply pull them along the edge of the knitting to the desired length.
This is what the back of the knitting looks like.
We knit three rows with blue thread and two with white thread.
Next, the number of rows knitted with blue threadwill always be equal to three, but the number of white rows will change. First we knitted 1 row of white and three blue, then two white and three blue again. Next we need to knit 3 white, 3 blue, 4 white, 3 blue and in reverse order - 3 white, 3 blue, 2 white, 3 blue, 1 white and finish knitting with 3 rows of blue.
Now let's start tying our cup warmer. We'll make the first row with simple stitches.
In the second row we will form loops for buttons. To do this, we will knit two simple columns from the beginning. Then we will cast on three loops.
Skip 3 stitches and knit 5 stitches in the center, cast on 3 stitches again.
Again, we will knit 2 simple columns, finishing the side. We will tie the other three sides with fans of columns with yarns. To do this, we will knit 6 columns in the corner.
Through 1 loop, we fasten the fan to the base with 1 simple column.
And through the loop we will again make a fan of 5 columns.
So we will tie the three remaining sides. We will not tie the side with loops with fans.
All that remains is to sew on the buttons.
And we put it on our cup in a warm and cozy heating pad.
