Hello.

This is my new scarf knitted and crocheted.

Length knitted scarf– 105 cm, width – 29 cm.

I knitted with ALIZE Angora Gold yarn (80% acrylic, 10% mohair, 10% wool, 100 g - 550 m). It took 1 skein (100 g) to knit the scarf itself using knitting needles No. 2 and about a quarter of a skein for crocheting No. 2.5.

The scarf is knitted with a double-sided pattern that I found on the Internet. It is called "Tongues of Flame". I didn’t draw a diagram, but here is a description of this pattern.

Knitting density of the main pattern with knitting needles:

42 p. x 32 r. = 10 x 10 cm.

I cast on 100 stitches on the knitting needles (6 repeats of 14 stitches = 98 stitches + 2 edges) and knitted with the main pattern 100 cm in length.

The front side of a knitted scarf looks like this:

and if we turn it over, we see that back side slightly different from the front one, but not much.

Having finished knitting, take a hook and tie the scarf around the perimeter with any pattern you like. There are plenty of border patterns on the Internet.

But I decided not to complicate my work and simply started tying the scarf with arches of 7 VP, and then decorated them a little with patterns.

Please note that I attached the arches with single crochets (2 dc to 1 leaf).

Crocheting is such a broad art that even crocheting the edges of a wide variety of products allows you to choose from a variety of possible options. Moreover, such a detail as crocheted a border can give a simple thing, like the most ordinary dress or blouse, an elegant, sophisticated look, or, conversely, turn it into an absurd-looking item that you don’t want to wear, even if it turns out to be the only one in your wardrobe. Therefore, it is so important to learn how to combine crochet styles and successfully apply them to the details that play a role in shaping the style - the edges of the product, crocheted.

Tablecloths, handkerchiefs, napkins, towels, curtains, sleeves and the neck of any wardrobe component will look completely new if you choose the right pattern for crocheting the edges. By the way, this technique is also used if there is a need to “hide” the mistakes of the craftswoman, which can be easily seen with the naked eye on the edges of the products. And also the finishing of the edges is different knitted patterns capable of giving a second life to any old thing that you don’t want to part with.

Crocheting the edge of a product - diagrams and description

Choosing the right pattern on the border is already half the success. This issue has its own subtleties that are important to consider when choosing a pattern for the edge of the product:

• Narrow border (up to 1.5 cm) - suitable for light knitted items with openwork motifs, and also ideal for children's clothing;
• Border extending into the collar (5-8 cm or 15-20 cm) - goes with most knitted items.
• Wide trim pattern (1.5 - 4.5 cm) - looks good on products made from medium-thick yarn, namely on the edges of the sleeves and neck of jumpers and pullovers.

A beautiful pattern along the edge can be knitted directly when creating the whole thing - then you won’t have to worry about adjusting the openwork ribbon to the product, but you can sew on a finished border by knitting it in advance. The choice here is quite simple.

But the options for patterns for tying the edges provide much more space. So, what are they possible options Do needlewomen have finishing and finishing edges of crocheted products?

• Rachy step

The most favorite option for crocheting edges among beginning knitters is the crochet step, consisting of single crochets, which are knitted from left to right: starting to the right of the working loop. This pattern allows you to maintain the original shape of the canvas, preventing the edge from stretching. This method of tying edges also has its own variations.

Walking step from left to right

The hook is inserted into the first loop on the right and a single crochet is knitted. Insert the hook into the next loop on the right and work a single crochet again. And so on until the end of the row.

Walking step from right to left

This option for tying the edges is considered more complex, but also more familiar. With the working loop on the hook, insert the hook into the loop on the left and grab the working thread. Pull the yarn through and with both loops on the hook, turn the nose of the hook counterclockwise (see diagram above). After twisting the loops on the hook, make a yarn over and pull it through both loops on the hook. With one working loop on the hook, insert the hook into the loop on the left (moving away from you) and grab the working thread. Pull out the loop. Twist the loops on the hook again, yarn over and pull it through both loops on the hook. Continue in the same manner. The resulting rad should look something like this.

• Pico

Pico crochet patterns.

Picot binding consists of chains of several air loops closed in a circle - from three or more. These loops are ideal for tying cuffs and sleeves.

A row of picots is made on the front side of the product. Make 1 chain stitch, skip the first single crochet, work 1 single crochet into the next single crochet. Work a chain of 4 chain stitches, then do a half double crochet in the first stitch of the chain to make a picot. Work 1 single crochet into each of the next 2 single crochets. Continue knitting a picot and 2 single crochets around the edge of the piece in the same way. There are also several other picot knitting options (see diagram above).

• Arched frame or Shell

The pattern is created by knitting loops of different heights with the highest loop in the center. The shell can be made in a row, connected with single crochets, half double crochets and double crochets. The binding is performed on the front side of the product. Make 1 chain stitch, work 1 single crochet into the next stitch. Skip 1 stitch, do 1 half double crochet, 3 double crochets and 1 half double crochet, all in the next stitch. Skip 1 stitch and work 1 single crochet into the next stitch to secure the edge of the shell. Continue tying the edge of the piece with shells in the same way.

• Border of decorative openwork patterns

Here the shape and all kinds of patterns are not limited by anything except the imagination and capabilities of the knitter. There are many options for crocheting an openwork border, from simpler ones to incredibly complex ones. Often they are crocheted separately from the entire product and then sewn to the desired edges. Let's look at several schemes and ways to use them on different things.

Neck strap

Very often, needlewomen are looking for ways to crochet the neck of a sweater or cardigan so as to hide the open sections of the product, and at the same time the item takes on a more interesting and special look. There are many ways to do this; you just need to choose from dozens of schemes the most suitable harness in style. Let's look at a few examples of how to beautifully crochet a neckline to improve the look of a knitted item and not ignore the principle of completeness.

• Quick neck tie

This step by step option design is suitable for beginners and those needlewomen who do not have time to perform more complex neck processing. It turns out beautiful and simple.

The knitted product can be decorated with a neck made in a circle, or the ends of the neck can be connected with a seam.

We take the finished fabric and, using a crochet hook from the wrong side of the working thread, pull out a loop to the front side.

In this way we put several loops on the hook. Important: the loops should not be cast on loosely.

Then these loops are transferred to the knitting needle, after which we continue to pick up loops using a hook. We pull out a loop with a crochet hook, throw it onto a knitting needle, etc.

The loops are cast on. Now we knit the first row in such a way that there are knit stitches on the wrong side and purl stitches on the front row. If we knit the neckline in a circle, we knit purl loops. If with a seam - facial ones.

If you want to achieve a “factory effect” of connecting the collar to the product, we knit the first row with knitting needles like this: on the wrong side of the product, the first row is knitted with knit stitches (on the front side the loops will be purl), and then the first row on the front side looks as if the collar is knitted with a needle.

According to the first option of knitting the first row, the following result is obtained:

Then we knit a neckline of the required length. If this is a loop lapel, we close it with knitting needles or crochet, as desired. If it is a stand-up collar, it is better to close the loops with a needle.

• Beautiful neck finish

This is also a simple version of crocheting a beautiful edge, in which the most difficult and important thing is to correctly calculate the repeat of the pattern.

The height of the rapport is the width of the bar. The width of the repeat is the number of loops by which the number of loops of the entire length of the neck is divided without remainder. For example: the height of the bar is 16 rows. 16/2=8. Rapport cannot be less than 8 loops. On 8 loops we will have an openwork decker.

In this case, the neckline is 180 stitches. The selection method was used to determine the repeat of 12 loops 180:12=15. 15 repetitions of rapport.

It is better to have 2 additional loops for sewing the strip. In my case this is not the case, but the difference in the neckline pattern at the shoulder line is not noticeable.

You need to knit according to the following pattern, which shows only odd rows:

• Floral pattern

The pattern for tying is a bush made from a chain of three chain loops and two double crochets. It is knitted from one point - the base of the chain. The bushes are secured with a half-column at a certain distance from each other (for example, in two loops of the securing row of the neck). At the beginning of the row, you should make one air loop for lifting. Follow the pattern.

Beautiful sleeve treatment

Often, crocheting a sleeve is done in the same pattern as the neckline - this way the item is designed in the same style, which means it looks harmonious. Let's try to knit several easy-to-make patterns.

• Scallops for sleeves

First of all, cast on a chain of 5 chain stitches.

Insert the hook under the cast-on chain, grab the working thread and pull out the loop.

Grab the working thread again and knit the elongated loop. This is how the first single crochet is obtained, connected from under the chain, and there are 2 loops left on the hook.

Knit the elongated loop, adding another loop to the hook.

When there are 11 loops on the hook, grab the working thread and knit all the loops from the hook.

Now secure the scallop by knitting a single crochet, leaving 3 stitches from the beginning of the scallop. Knit scallops to the end of the row, following the step-by-step photo.

It is necessary to work according to the following scheme:

• Large lace border

At the beginning of the row, tie a chain stitch. Insert the hook under the nearest braid of the edge to be tied. Knit a single crochet. Knit the air loop again.

Insert the hook into the front loop of the top braid of the single crochet crocheted earlier and then insert the hook into the left side loop of the same single crochet. Insert the hook under the nearest braid of the edge to be tied. Pull out the loop. Pick up the thread and knit a single crochet. You need to repeat from points 4 to 8. The result is a binding around the edge that, due to its elasticity, will not tighten the bottom of the product.

Bottom of the product

You can crochet the bottom of a product in a variety of ways, but we will consider one of the easiest options, and a more complex and beautiful way bindings, suitable not only for knitted items, but also for towels, tablecloths and other products made of material.

• Trimming the bottom of a Pico item

Along the edge of the product, start knitting with two single crochets.
Next, make 3 air loops and point the hook at the base of the single crochet stitch as shown in the photo. Then again perform two single crochets and 3 chain stitches after them.

• Floral border

The row with the floral motif is knitted as follows: 3 ch. lifting, 3 dc in the first arch from vp, 1 dc in the next arch. We begin to knit a flower: 3 ch, 3 unfinished dc on one base loop, knit all the loops on the hook = 1st petal. 4 ch, remove the hook from the knitting, insert it into the upper part of the connected group of stitches from right to left, grab the last loop of the chain and pull it through all the loops = ring.

Next petal: *3 ch, 2 dc in a ring, 3 ch, sc in a ring* (= 2nd petal), repeat from * to * 2 more times. Last petal: ch 3, 3 unfinished dc, knit all loops on hook (= 5th petal). The flower is ready.

3 DC through one arch of the previous row, 1 DC into the next arch, and begin to knit the next flower.

Video lesson

Decorate the edges knitted products crochet is not an easy task, because first you need to pick up beautiful pattern, then tie it correctly and without unnecessary broaches, and then sew it on so that it looks perfect, and most importantly, in its place. It may be difficult for novice craftswomen to cope with this task at first, but do not despair. You can always “peep” the secrets of this craft from more experienced craftswomen.

Crocheting the edge of a product video:

Or crochet - a wonderful activity for both beginners and experienced craftswomen. True, if the latter choose complex openwork patterns and weaves, then beginners prefer the simplest knitting techniques. However, even such a scarf can become very beautiful and fashionable thing, if the edge is decorated in an original way. You just need to choose a way to finish knitting a scarf so that the finished model meets your requirements in every way.

Finishing knitting

Techniques for finishing knitting, of course, are mastered even when making the first samples. And yet, sometimes it is useful to repeat these basics. So, in order to close the edge of the product when knitting, you need:

• knit one out of two loops on the left needle;
• return the resulting loop back to the left needle;
• again pull out one from the two outer loops;
• repeat these steps until one loop remains;
• It is important not to tighten the final row so that the edge of the product does not become deformed.

What loops should be used to close knitting?

Choice of facial or purl loops when finishing knitting depends on the pattern. If the knitting is simple (hosiery or garter, various types of elastic bands), you can close the entire row with facial loops. This “pigtail” will look very neat and will make it easy to add decor to the edge of the scarf.

How to finish knitting? Where to hide the remaining thread?

Now the thread can be cut, leaving 3-4 cm for fastening. This tail is inserted into the last loop and tightened. Then we thread it into the needle and hide the piece on the wrong side of the product, pulling several loops behind the walls. Another fastening option is shown in the figure.

Finishing crochet

By the way, this knowledge is enough to understand how to finish crocheting. After all, when completing this type of needlework, at the end of the row you get just one loop, which all that remains is to tighten and then disguise the tail of the thread.

How to beautifully decorate the edge of a scarf?

Of course, having finished knitting the product, you can limit yourself to simply closing the loops. But you can choose another way to finish knitting a scarf to give it a particularly decorative look. If you are wearing a scarf under outerwear, finish it off with crochet or fringe trim. If a warm accessory is worn over a coat, you can decorate it with tassels or pom-poms.

Crochet scarf finishing options

"Crawfish step"

This is the simplest method, suitable regardless of whether the entire product was crocheted or knitted. Along the very edge, knit a row of single crochets, and then, without turning the product, make the same stitches in the opposite direction. Insert the hook under both edges of the loop, hook the thread, and pull it freely. Grab the thread again and knit the two resulting loops together. This finish not only looks very decorative, but also gives additional strength to the product.

"Lush column"

Also start finishing by knitting a row of single crochets. Then turn the work around and do “ lush columns" To do this, 3-5 long (up to 2 cm) loops with yarn overs are pulled from one loop of the previous row, which are simultaneously knitted and secured with an air loop.

"Lace"

More experienced craftswomen who already know how to crochet can decorate the edge of the scarf various types finishing knits reminiscent of lace. Try, for example, alternating several double crochets, knitting them from one base loop, and air loops. Use your experience and imagination when deciding how to finish knitting a scarf and get a unique and fashionable item.

How to make fringe and tassels?

The first thing you need to do to make fringes or tassels is to decide on their length in finished form. After this, you need to cut the threads into pieces approximately 2.5 times longer than this length. The number of segments depends on how magnificently you plan to decorate your item. For fringe, it is enough to take 2-5 pieces and, folding them in half, tie them to the edge of the scarf using a hook. The knot is simply tightened and does not require any additional fastening. Brushes are made separately and then tied to the product. How to make a brush is very clearly shown in the figure.

How to make a pompom?

A scarf decorated with pompoms looks very impressive. It can be one large furry ball or several smaller ones. In any case, such a thing will attract attention. Step-by-step instruction The execution of the pompom is shown in the photo. To make balls of different diameters, you can wind the thread around a fork or a cardboard circle with a cutout. By the way, a very interesting effect can be achieved by combining pompoms of different sizes.

We make a decision

So, how to finish knitting a scarf so that the new thing will delight its owner? The choice of method depends on how it will be worn and what it will be combined with, on the quality of the yarn, and on the complexity of knitting. For example, a scarf with a beautiful textured pattern is already self-sufficient; any additions will only spoil it. An openwork scarf requires lightness and also does not accept heavy tassels or pompoms. But on a warm and dense product they can come in handy. Try, experiment, and let the new thing suit you!

This will give the scarf greater decorativeness and femininity.

Crochet scarf "Vivienne"

This scarf is very easy to knit. It consists of two parts. The first is a narrow mesh of double crochets that forms the base of the scarf, and the second is a wide, fluffy border. I crocheted number 4. I took simple yarn (whatever came to hand) - acrylic 100g/300m. (Semyonovskaya)


Scarf blue color knitted from "Children's whim" yarn, 60% merino wool. In two threads.

1. Knit 15 chain stitches. Plus 3 stitches instead of a double crochet for the first row. Next, 2 more VPs, skip 2 VPs in the chain, and on the third we knit a double crochet. Knit like this until the end of the row: 2 ch, skip 2 loops and knit a double crochet. Repeat all subsequent rows. Knit double crochets over double crochets. The result is a grid.
2. Now we turn the knitting and knit the border along the scarf. First, we tie the edge with simple columns. in each “cell” there are 3 single crochets.
3. We knit the next row with double crochets. We increase the number of loops exactly twice. That is, from each loop of the previous row we knit 2 dc (double crochet).
4. We knit this row like the previous one. Again we double the number of loops.
5. We knit the last row with the same double crochets, but increase the number of loops by 1.5 times. From two loops of the previous row we knit 3 loops.
That's it, the scarf is ready.

Scarf "Vivienne 2"

If you want to make the scarf fuller, you can make a border on both sides. I knitted it in a different color and it turned out very cute.

Mittens for this scarf...

Mitts on knitting needles

I knitted these mitts in addition to the Vivien scarf, crocheted to make a knitted set.

Knitting mitts is very simple. I took soft yarn: 60% merino wool + 40% fiber. In two threads. Set of five knitting needles No. 4.

I cast on 48 stitches, 12 on each of the four needles. Start knitting socks in the same way.
Next I knitted it with a 2x2 elastic band, right down to the base. thumb. Of course, you can also knit with a 1x1 rib; you can knit the rib only on the wrist, and then continue with satin stitch (all knit stitches).

Now the fun part - knitting the thumb. To begin with, we just need to leave a hole for it. You can do this in two ways:
1. Slip the required number of stitches onto a pin (I have 6) and cast on 6 new stitches on a working needle. I use this method.


2. Knit the required number of loops with another thread, and then unravel the resulting stitch.

Next, we tie the mitt to the desired length. It can be different; the mitt can end either at the base of the fingers or at the very tips.
We close the loops.
Now it's time to finish tying the finger. We do this using all five knitting needles. We remove six loops from the pin on one knitting needle, on the other - six cast-on loops, on the remaining two we cast on two loops along the edges of the resulting rectangle. Then the loops can be distributed more evenly.

Now we knit according to the pattern - over the knit stitches - knit stitches, over the purl stitches - purl stitches. The loops cast on along the edge are purl. I knitted the length to the middle of the thumb.
In fact, the mitt is ready, now you can decorate it. I knitted a small ruffle along one row of elastic. Crochet one thread, double crochet, three stitches in each loop.

With the help of an ordinary muffler you can add chic and mystery to your image, and for this it is enough to know how to tie a scarf beautifully. There are at least about 150 different ways, depending on the setting, face shape, neck length and chosen image.

What to choose for the winter

In winter, when you want warmth and comfort, there is nothing better than burying yourself in a warm scarf knitted by your grandmother and hiding from the cold. These models look best when twisted or tied with a rope. Sometimes it’s enough just to twist the muffler slightly and tie it around the neck a couple of times, leaving the ends loose.

This is convenient if you need to put a scarf on a jacket, but having chosen such a dense main material of the accessory, do not weigh down the bottom, choose it as light and light in cut as possible. Most appropriate fabrics:

1. Cashmere;
2. Lace;
3. Wool (preferably light shades).

Wool accessory

You can use French knot. It looks most advantageous on dense fabric, such as wool or cotton. We fold the long accessory in half and put it around the neck. A loop is formed on one side through which we need to thread the tails twice. Then we correct it and leave it on top of the clothes.

Square knot

You can tie a scarf beautifully for an official meeting with a square, this is one of the "business nodes"- stylish, original, but at the same time practical and not provocative. Fold it into a rectangle and align the ends. Throw them over the neck, but one end is long and the other is short. Put a long tail to a short one, and turn it through the newly formed loop. After that, pull a shorter ponytail through it, making a knot, hide the ends under the suit.

Combination with clothes

Fur coat

Wearing a muffler with a fur coat is rightfully considered a classic. It looks especially beautiful made from long wool (say, fox or raccoon), in combination with a silk scarf and long skirt. Some stylists argue that wool should not touch exposed skin, so it is better to wear a scarf under a fur outer garment or a thick blouse. Fold a long and wide scarf diagonally. Turn it so that the ends remain behind. Now you can tie one or two knots or a bow in front. You can also try a knitted scarf in this look, but in this case, it adds age and heaviness.

Combine with a swimsuit

With the approach of summer and the beach, the question of how to tie a summer scarf beautifully and stylishly becomes relevant. First, you need to choose a swimsuit. Depending on its size, color and cut, the accessory will be selected. You can use a pareo, or you can regular light scarf.

A voluminous lace one can simply be thrown over the neck a couple of times, while covering it slightly and coquettishly showing off the shoulders. You can take two scarves at once, connect them together and tie them on the body. This looks very original, especially if the scene is a beach party.

If you have a good figure, a short hip scarf will look good; you can add elegance and sophistication to it by tying it beautifully at the waist or hips. The same can be done with a square sample. Fold it in half to form a triangle. It is better to choose a fabric with fringe or lace, although a silk scarf also looks good, the only thing is that it can be hot on the beach. Now all that remains is to carefully tie it around the panties with a strong knot.

How to tie over an evening dress

In any situation you need to give preference to beautiful air models. Light scarf will not distract attention from the main outfit, but on the contrary, will complement and refresh it, add femininity and mystery. The scheme is simple; often it is enough to wrap it around your neck with a light tourniquet. Naturally, if the image allows, then you can use a thick attribute, but it will be much more difficult to carry out these manipulations with it.

Additions to scarves when tying on evening dress:

1. The yellow model needs to be diluted with a small brooch or green hairpin.
2. Red and black add drama to the look, use them when the occasion is right;
3. Sometimes you can do without a hairstyle by putting a beautiful voluminous stole or shawl on your head and wrapping it around your neck.

As an option, try tying a scarf in a bohemian style - rich and sophisticated. We just wrap the neck with a light knot, do not tighten it. The dress looks more than casual and stylish.

Arafatka

Photo – Scarf-arafatka

Square scarves that go around the neck tied backwards, called arafatki, gained mass popularity just a couple of years ago. The technique of how to beautifully tie a scarf around your neck is quite simple. We fold an ordinary square into two triangles, wrap it around it, make two knots and turn it over so that it closes Bottom part faces. The main thing is not to tighten the ends, otherwise the arafatka will not sit naturally. We recommend complementing this look with Arabic makeup - and Oriental beauty ready!
