Before you take up the manufacture of pompons plaid with your hands, you should read the instructions carefully. Knitting equipment diverse: you can associate a blanket on the needles or use a special cloth as a base.

It is necessary to prepare all the necessary tools:

• special frame;
• yarn;
• scissors.

How to make a frame for weaving the rug of pompons

Production of frames for weaving the rug rather difficult process for women, 90% of men have to use force. You need to prepare materials.

1. Rake 3 cm wide. frame length - 144 cm, height - 136 cm. Since this is a rather extensive thing, the frame must be strong to bear the weight of the thread does not break, do not spoil the whole work. wood quality does not matter.
2. Self-tapping screws for fastening the rails to each other.
3. Nails in an amount of 132 pieces 7-8 cm in length.
4. Hammer.

frame manufacturing technology is simple. First you need to bond with each other at the corners of four rails, two rails 144 cm in length will be located at the bottom and at the top of the frame, and two more - at 136 cm - left and right. Thus, you get a square. Slats fastened at the corners of self-tapping screws, length of rails on the finished frame due to mounting will be the same.

Then, using a hammer, it is necessary to hammer nails. It is necessary to depart from the corner of 8 cm., To begin to drive every 4 cm. 33 on each side of the nail. The frame is ready.

In order not to doubt the strength of the frame, you can take additional bracing in the form of narrow, short strips in the corners of the main frame to the rear side.

On this frame will weave a blanket child-sized 115 cm by 115 cm, and fringed at the ends - 130 cm to 130 cm.

The choice of thread for the plaid of pompons

Depending on the intended use of things choice boils down to three types of yarn:

• cotton;
• wool;
• acrylic.

Cotton is environmentally friendly, hypoallergenic, provide good air circulation, can be easily machine washable in manual mode, the yarn is not stretched and retains color. The disadvantage of cotton is probably the only one, is the weight - a blanket to get pretty heavy.

Wool has healing properties, warms, it prevents moisture entering from the outside, outputs it from the inside. In this case, a blanket of wool can cause allergies is very capricious in care, it can be stretched or, conversely, uzhatsya after washing. On pure wool pellets appear over time. Definition of quality: the tension, the fibers can be reduced in size, but the thread remains intact.

Acrylic like wool, but stronger, well holds the color does not fade in the sun, wear resistance, slowly thins, but does not transmit moisture but retains heat well. After washing can stretch out, it is recommended to wash with the delicate cycle.

Based on the fact that each type has its drawbacks, it is best to choose a natural yarn with a touch of artificial. On plaid with fringe 130 cm to 130 cm. It needs 11 skeins of yarn by 100 m.

weaving technology.

1. Start braiding should be from the base. If the novice master, better to choose two different colors, so it will be easier to cut the pom-poms. The base layers 20 will be weaving. First you need to fix the knot thread on the upper-left corner nail.

   First, we will weave the foundation vertically, for the convenience of the best to do it in other threads, a tone darker or lighter, or even a different color

2. Further it is necessary to hold up the nails on the bottom rail, round the first two nails together, then hold up, just go around the following two top nail. So to the very end.

   Now turn the thread on the horizontal part and likewise, clasping two cloves, pletom to the bottom

3. When all nails at the bottom and at the top of wound, the last of the lower thread to skip to the nearest lateral nail right, go around it to hold the thread horizontally to the left parallel to the nail. Circumnavigate the two left nail, also spend horizontally to the right rail to round two nails - and back to the left. Continue up to the top.

   So it will look like 1 wound row vertically and horizontally 1

4. When a thread reaches the left corner of the nail, you must throw it to the extreme horizontal nail and continue weaving under the previous scheme. So make 20 layers of warp. After this, tie a knot on the thread left corner nail.

   Then again weave vertical portion and then a horizontal line and so on until the yarn 20 is wound on the vertical portion and the horizontal portion 20 at

5. Next, take a different color and do the same procedure only 30 layers - is the foundation.

   The next step we take another color yarn and wound likewise vertically and horizontally to 30 threads, they will be our future pompons

6. Then you must take the lengths of approximately 10-15 cm., To tie each intersection crosswise, so it does not blossomed. Trim the ends of the segments at a distance of 2 cm from the assembly. We must be as careful not to miss a single intersection, otherwise everything will collapse.

   Tie knots at the intersections, not missing a single intersection, or a blanket will not work

7. Cut the thread at the edges, in the middle between the nails around the perimeter, making fringe.

   Cut away our blanket with nails, go around the perimeter of the frame and where marked with a red line cut in half

8. Carefully remove the frame.
9. Scissor 30 midway between the upper layers of dressings, fluff. If the base of a different color, select the thread will be easier.

   Take a pair of scissors and cut off our units with the four sides of 30 threads, without touching the base

    Cut all pompons and eventually get such a wonderful fluffy Baby Soft
