An original valentine-gift for Valentine's Day in the shape of a heart made of rubber with his own hands with a photo.
Valentine's Day is just around the corner —Valentine's Day. And it's time to take care of an original gift for your soulmate. If the usual souvenirs from stores do not suit you, then try to make a unique and practical thing with your own hands. In this article we will tell you in detail how to weave a heart-shaped keychain using step-by-step instructions. So let's get started. 1. First, you need to install the weaving machine so that the holes in the rows are directed to the right, and the columns of the central row are moved forward by 1.
2.The weaving itself should begin with columns of rows that are located at the edges. First you need to create a key, and then – the lock itself. To weave a key, you can use one rubber band, which is twisted into two parts. To do this, take a yellow elastic band, twist it so that you get an 8, and then throw it on the 1st column of the central and lowest rows.
3.In a similar way, you should put two rubber bands on the columns of the top row. Next, twist the elastic band so that you get an 8, and then throw it on the 1st column of the central and lowest rows. In a similar way, you should throw two elastic bands on the columns of the row located below.
4.Then you need to connect the bottom and top rows to each other so that the resulting circle is formed. Then you need to throw the elastic bands obliquely (from the 3 columns of the bottom and top rows to the fourth column of the central row).
5. Starting from the fourth column of the central row, you need to count six columns of the central row, and then throw six yellow elastic bands on them, which are twisted in the shape of a figure eight.
6. Starting from the 6th column with a yellow elastic band, you need to count three columns to the left, and then throw it on the 3rd next elastic band, which is twisted in half.
Then you need to throw the elastic bands obliquely on the columnbottom row. 7. Similarly, you need to throw an obliquely twisted rubber band from the final working column of the central row onto the column of the bottom row.
8. The final yellow elastic band should be placed on the seventh column of the bottom row, located on the right side of the worker.
9.A yellow elastic band should be placed on the seventh column of the bottom row, on top of another similar elastic band. Next, twist the yellow rubber band so that you get an 8, and then throw it on three times. The result will be four rings.
10. A yellow elastic band should be thrown over the final column of the bottom row. In this case, you should twist it so that you get four layers, and then throw it as tightly as possible on the column.
eleven.Using a hook, you should knit an elastic band on the seventh bottom column. In this case, the hook must be inserted into the hole, pulled back four rings, and pulled through the two lower loops. Then transfer them diagonally onto the column of the central row.
12. Then you need to knit other elastic bands.In this case, you should start with the final part. It is necessary to take five rings back, stretch the two lower loops. Then knit on the column of the previous column.
13. Then you need to throw an elastic band from this column obliquely onto the column of the central row, then knit three elastic bands in the central row.
14. On the 3rd column there are four rubber bands. They should be carefully pulled back with a hook, so that you can then pass the two elastic bands located below.
15. Then you need to continue knitting the elastic band of the central row up to the fourth column to the place where the elastic bands of the side rows are connected.
16. First you need to knit the elastic band coming from the bottom edge. It should be thrown back onto the column of the bottom row. Those elastic bands that are still left need to be transferred to the top row.
17.It is necessary to knit the elastic band of both the bottom and top rows. The elastic band from the 1st column of the bottom row should be transferred to the 1st column of the central row, and the elastic band from the top row should be transferred to the same place. Then you need to pay special attention to ensure that all the elastic bands that you have already knitted are in the shape of a drop.
18.Next, you should insert the hook into the hole of the 1st column of the central row along the line of elastic bands located on it, and then, after grabbing the next elastic band with the hook, draw it along the line of those already located on the column. Place a hook on one edge, pass the top loop through it and release. As a result, a knot will appear that needs to be tightened not too tightly.
19.It is necessary to remove all the rubber bands to the axis of the machine, using a hook. Then straighten the key that we have, turn it to the sides. 20. To create a lock, you need to throw elastic bands on each column of the bottom row. The 1st elastic band should be thrown over the 2nd column, without making a figure eight out of it. Then you need to yarn over the rubber bands folded in half until the machine is completed. In total you will get eleven rubber bands, twisted twice, and 12 – single.
21. The final elastic band (contact) must be twisted so that it turns out to be an 8, and then thrown over the last column of the lowest rows.
22.Using a hook, remove the main elastic band. In this case, the hook must be inserted into the hole, pulled back, and pulled up the two lower loops. Then knit on the column that is in front. You need to knit every rubber band on the base of the machine.
23. Similarly, you need to knit each elastic band. Then carefully remove them. The elastic band from the 1st column will stay on the edge. This braid should be put aside for now.
24.The first two elastic bands should be placed on the second column of the central row. Then you need to yarn over the 1st column of the row, which is at the top. Next you need to yarn over three times with two elastic bands in the top row. Next, you need to yarn over the 1st column of the row, which is at the bottom. Then you should yarn over three times with two elastic bands in the lowest row. Then you need to throw the elastic band obliquely (from the 2nd column of the middle row to the 1st column of the bottom row). Then you should yarn over three times with two elastic bands in the lowest row. The next two elastic bands need to be thrown obliquely (from the 4th column of the bottom and top rows to the fifth column of the central row). As a result, the outline of our future castle will appear.
25. We make yarn overs of elastic bands in the central row.From the 2nd to the 3rd column we transfer 1 red elastic band, to the subsequent (3rd and 4th columns) – two red rubber bands, but on the fourth and fifth columns – two black rubber bands.
26. Place the elastic yarn overs vertically. You need to put 2 elastic bands on the 2nd and 3rd columns of the top and bottom rows.
27. On the 4th columns of the top and bottom rows, you need to throw one elastic band, which will be twisted 2 times so that the product at the very bottom takes on a sharp shape.
28. Next, you should move the hook to the left edge of the vertical elastic bands behind the column, which is located on the left. The result will be triangles.
29.In order for the product to acquire a larger volume, you need to add a couple more pre-knitted elastic bands to the top and bottom rows. Then you need to throw two elastic bands on two empty columns in the row located below. Then you should transfer them to the column located on the right. Then you need to throw two more elastic bands on this column, and on the next column on the right – also two elastic bands. Next, you need to yarn over another elastic band to the final column on the right, wrap it in a figure eight shape twice. The result will be three rings. After which you can insert the hook into the hole, move the elastic to the right side, and then knit the two lower elastic bands behind the previous column. Similarly, you need to knit all other elastic bands. 30. After which you can insert the hook into the hole of the 1st connected column, grab the elastic bands from the columns, and then remove each elastic band.
31.This elastic band must be added to the bottom row of the product in the 1st column. Next, take the other edge and place the final two loops on the 4th column of the lowest row. Similarly, you need to knit all other elastic bands.
32.Next, you should yarn over the 2nd braid, which is obtained, onto the 1st column of the row located at the top. Finally, find two rings, stretch them, and then throw them on the 4th column of the row located at the top.
33.Now you need to yarn over one final elastic band onto the 5th column of the central row, in which all the elastic bands are fastened. Next, you need to wrap this elastic band onto the final column, wrap it in a figure eight shape twice. The result will be three rings.
34. Then you need to take the yellow braid that was woven earlier. If desired, it is possible to connect the key and lock through the upper loop of the key.
Then you need to pass the hook through twothe loops that are at the end of the braid are yellow. Yarn over these loops onto the final column of the top row. 35. Two loops, which are located on the opposite edge, need to be thrown over the 1st column of the row located below. 36. Using a hook, you should knit all the elastic bands. You need to start with the final elastic bands of the central row. At the same time, we pull back the red rings, then pull out two black loops and transfer them to the previous column of the central row. The hook should be passed through the same hole, and the rings placed on top should be pulled back, grabbing two elastic bands and transferring them to the column located in the top row. Those two elastic bands that remain at the bottom (from the column of the row below) need to be transferred to the column of the lowest row. First you need to knit elastic bands from the top and then from the bottom row.
Next, use a hook to remove each elastic band.4th column of the row, located at the top, until we go to the bottom two loops. Then we carefully pull out these loops and transfer them to the previous column of the central row. 37. On the 3rd column located at the top, it is necessary to pull back the elastic bands that have a horizontal position, then pull out the 2 lower elastic bands and transfer them to the column located on the left side. Similarly, you need to knit all other elastic bands. On the 1st column of the row, located at the very top, you need to pull the yellow elastic bands back, pull out the two lower red elastic bands, and then transfer them to the 2nd column of the central row. Having made a circular movement with the hook, you need to release these rubber bands so that they remain intact.
38.On the 1st column located at the bottom, it is necessary to pull back the elastic bands that have a horizontal position, then pull out the 2 lower elastic bands and transfer them to the column located on the left side. Similarly, you need to knit all other elastic bands. On the 1st column of the row, located at the very bottom, you need to pull the yellow elastic bands back, pull out the two lower red elastic bands, and then transfer them to the 2nd column of the central row. Having made a circular movement with the hook, you need to release these rubber bands so that they remain intact.
39.Before knitting the elastic bands of the central column, you need to add 1 more black elastic band to our heart product. It will act as the castle's well. Then yarn over the black elastic band, and then make three turns. As a result, there will be four rings left at the base of the hook. Then you need to insert the hook into the hole in the 3rd column, remove two red rubber bands from there, and before transferring them to the column on the left, you should drop the rings from the hook onto these red rubber bands. Yarn over the column. 40 Then you need to knit an elastic band from this column. This will be the final rubber band. 41. Our heart-shaped product is ready. Before removing the heart from the machine, you need to fix each elastic band of the 2nd central column. Then you need to insert the hook into the hole in the column, pull each rubber band back, and then take the tool to the left of the column and thread a red rubber band over it. Next, pull it to the side with your fingers, and draw the hook itself along the line of rubber bands of this column. The second part of the elastic band must be thrown over the hook, and the first part must be threaded through it, releasing it from the hook. As a result, a knot will come out. Then you need to throw the knot on your finger and remove all the rubber bands from the base of the machine. 42. At the end of our work process, we need to give the product a heart shape, slightly straightening it. The knot should be tightened as tightly as possible. And then disguise it at the back of the product.
That's all! Your DIY gift for Valentine's Day is ready.
