Blanket yarn patchwork - this painting, like a mosaic assembled from colorful knitted patchwork. Such products are usually obtained with beautiful and unusual.

There are different techniques of knitting, more complex, and extremely simple. Here we look at the most common options for creating knitted patchwork blankets.

What kind of yarn to use?

This kind of work begins with the selection of the source material - yarn. Traditionally, this kind of needlework used sewing, knitting left over from other things. But you can pick up and buy something specifically for bedspreads patchwork.

Tools for knitted patchwork

Preparation Tool - another important part of the basis of previous work. You will need the following.

• Hook

Even if you plan to use needles, this tool may be useful to pre-dial a number of stitches. Its appearance depends on the yarn parameters.

• spokes

For various techniques can be used simultaneously by 2 to 5 double-pointed needles. Large quantities for such products is rarely necessary.

• pins

English may be useful or common tailor pins.

• Scissors

To cut the thread when needed.

• Needle

It is required for some knitting methods, when first created fragments. And only then made their union in a single fabric.

Making sure that there is everything you need, you can begin to work.

Basic techniques of knitting plaid patchwork

Patchwork is combined with scraps of simple geometric shapes. Most often it happens:

• squares;

  Squares hook plaid patchwork

• triangles;

  Simple triangles made crochet - great motive to collect interesting items

• hexagons;

  Common motifs - hexagons for simple and complex products

• diamonds.

  Plaid blanket of lozenges hook looks original and volume

These components are called pieces of motives. They are created or crocheted, using different patterns, from the corner or center. There are many options. The table shows the most basic technology.

needles	hook
Garter squares pattern.	square with columns angle with sc.	from the corner
triangle three spokes; square, connected by a spiral.	"Grandma's box"; patchwork reverse series.	from the center

By way of joining together all the pieces fall into the following technique.

1. Knitted integrally

Completing one motive, in this situation, just go to the next, vyvyazyvaya them in a row. To blanket, sewn in such a way, it turned out good, better even before the main action to draw the circuit-design and knit in accordance with it.

1. like a jigsaw puzzle

That is, you first need to make individual elements, and only then assemble them and tie together.

Both methods have advantages and disadvantages. Knitting by the first method does not require additional stitching needle, but does not allow to make significant adjustments to the image on the fly. The second is more time consuming, but allows you to experiment directly in the creation of plaid.

Patchwork spoke: plaid associated with simple square corner

The most common method of creating a veil in the style of patchwork needles is the so-called garter knitting. It is a combination of facial loops and subtraction. The process is as follows.

• Dial an odd number of loops for the base

The exact number depends on the size of the square. And the same amount of stitches in the horizontal and vertical, plus one corner loop.

• Knit motif facial loops

Making process on every other row decrease three stitches in the middle.

• Forms the outer edge of the motif by means of nodules

That is always taking the first loop of a number, not provyazyvaya it.

• Complete the square

As a result of constant subtraction in a row there will be only one loop, cut and fasten thread.

• Start following motif

The rationale for this will be one of the parties already bound fragment and a number of typesetting loops.

Thus, step by step, create a whole web of yarn. It is important not to change during the knitting direction to the protruding convex diagonally from the front of the rug, resulting in the process, were fixed in the same direction.

Plaid patchwork of triangles

Textiles composed of triangles, looks spectacular, and it is easy to tie. For this:

• Dial a chain of six stitches;
• Close to its polustolbikom ring without nakida;
• Insert double-edged needle every two loops so as to form the basis for future sides of the triangle;
• The next near double the number of loops;
• Knit a simple pattern the front, adding two loops to each triangular facets in a row as long as the fragment reaches the desired size.

This simple, unusual and attractive theme can become the basis for a great knitted rug.

The veil of squares connected by a spiral

This kind of patchwork spoke very similar to the last technique of execution. The creation of this motif, too, begins with crochet a chain of air loops - though in this case there should be eight. loop then just closed in the ring and distributed over the spokes, forming the edge of a square.

After that element fit facial pattern, each subsequent number should start with sc, thereby increasing the number of loops. Continue knitting to be the moment when the fragment reaches the desired value.

The thus obtained element has on its front surface convex arc-spiral radiating from the center in four directions. Visually, it looks quite interesting.

Blankets crocheted: square with corner columns with sc

This alternative is the simplest patchwork needles in a square looks similar, but knit it a little differently. The main difference - in the beginning it is necessary not to dial a chain of loops, and make a single loop.

From this link, first three columns with sc, then two air loops, then two more column. Second row, do the same way as the first, but turn it on two columns over. Continue to knit until the figure reaches the planned amount.

This quilt knitting method is relatively free, even filigree. However, it depends on the thickness of the yarn. Thicker strings produce a denser fabric.

How to link the traditional "grandma's box"

This type of pattern combines simplicity and aesthetic appeal. For this reason, this knitting is not uncommon. But with the help of original colors, well-chosen yarn, it is possible to change, to make sparkle with new colors.

It is knitted from the center, as follows:

• from the start loop make three columns with sc;
• knit two air loops;
• followed by three more similar column of elementary loop, two loops air;
• Repeat this algorithm two more times;
• close the circle column without sc;

  Provyazyvaem loops in a circle on figure 4 times - 3 column sc with 2 air loop join

• second row bind the same groups of columns with sc three pieces of the stitches of the last row;

  Create a 2 row, marking the corners of the motif

• in the classic version of this pattern in all four rows, but is allowed to increase this number to five, six, seven and so on.

  We make different-sized bars of two, four, six, eight and ten rows

Shifting the center of "grandmother's square" to the edge can be given that the traditional scheme of asymmetry and originality.

Simple and stylish pattern: plaid, tied back rows

This technique begins with the usual "my grandmother's square" from the center. However, after the standard three or four rows in a circle appear different. Taking the bottom left face and the workpiece, form a row of columns, without sc, two - with sc and another, final, without sc. Then repeat the same sequence of steps, starting from the top and right side of the figure.

It is possible to act in accordance with this scheme, periodically changing the color, as long as the final dimensions of the product will not suit you.

Children's plaid patchwork

The secret to creating a successful children's rug is the correct selection of the following elements.

• pattern

For such products are well suited dense varieties of knitting. Nice look blankets with a convex pattern on the front side.

• Flowers

Baby things decided to make colorful, bright. But do not forget that plaid shades should be in harmony with each other. Patchwork - Multi style, but not tasteless.

• yarn

When knitting things for small children is better to refrain from materials that can cause allergies. This means that natural wool yarn should choose based on cotton or synthetics.

Another difference is the size of such blankets. Blankets for children usually make less than for adults.

combined patchwork

patchwork Specificity allows you to combine not only the yarn of different colors but also different kinds of patterns. Crocheted flowers can alternate with smooth hexagon consisting of columns with sc. Complex openwork motifs work well together with contrasting against them simple schemes.

To create such a complex, an unusual thing, combining disparate elements, start knitting with drawing detailed sketches. And it must be detailed, elaborated. And you should not deviate from the original plan.

Do not be afraid to experiment! Try, fantasize, and eventually be able to create a truly unique and beautiful plaid patchwork.
