How to crochet motifs. Tunic from motifs - “mills” How to crochet the “Mill” motif

Summer tunic from Moda Crochet magazine 9/2009 is crocheted from 300 g of mercerized cotton with size 2. Size 42.

The pattern is based on a motif measuring 11 cm (between sides). Knit 1 motif, moisten it and let it dry completely. After this, measure the distance between the sides. If you get a motif of a different size or the suggested size does not suit you, then it is very easy to make adjustments. Mill motifs are good precisely because the number of rows in them can be reduced or increased without distorting the “vortex” pattern of the product.

Having determined the required number of rows in the motif, start knitting. All motifs are knitted separately and assembled with a row of connecting posts or a needle. When knitting from thin yarn, assembly with a needle is preferable, as it allows you to connect motifs almost imperceptibly, which is exactly what is needed when connecting mill motifs.

Tie the assembled tunic along all edges with a row of single crochets.

Crochet "Mill" motif

Why is the pattern called so unusually? This is what makes knitting interesting: the Mill pattern, like many other patterns (for example), got its name for its similarity to one of the objects in the real world. In this case, with a windmill, namely with its blades. The pattern has several modifications. In this material we will analyze the simplest, but at the same time the most popular of them.

Scheme

According to needlewomen, this is the most convenient way to perform this pattern. The Mill motif, the diagram of which is given below, is made by four types of loops: air loops, single crochets, connecting stitches and single crochets. This allows even a beginner to master the Mill pattern. The diagram is read in a standard way - from the middle. Knitting goes in a circle (not in a spiral!). To transition between rows, lifting air loops are knitted.

Description

There is no point in compiling a complete description of crocheting the Mill motif, since, starting from 2-3 rows, the work follows the same principle. The dimensions of the motif are limited only by the author’s imagination or the requirements for the product, so we will not reach the final stage in describing the knitting process.

VP- air loop, RLS- single crochet, CCH- single crochet stitch, SS- connecting column.

Close 5 VPs into a ring using a connecting post.

1 row: 7 VP, 1 sc in the ring, *4 VP, 1 sc in the ring* - repeat 4 times. Finish the row by knitting a sl st in the 3rd ch from the beginning of the row.

2nd row: 4 VP, knit 1 Dc, 1 VP, 1 Dc, * 3 VP in the arch, knit 1 Dc, 1 VP, 1 Dc, 1 VP, 1 Dc in the next arch * - repeat until the end of the row. Finish row 2 VP + 1 SS in 3rd VP of row.

3rd row: 3 VP, 1 Dc in the arch, 1 VP, 1 Dc + 1 VP + 1 Dc in one arch, 4 VP, * 1 Dc in the next arch, 1 VP, 1 Dc in the next arch, 1 VP, 1 Dc + 1 VP + 1 DC in the next arch, 4 VP* - repeat until the end of the row. Complete row SS.

Further knitting proceeds in the same way. Each row the number of loops between the petals increases by one loop. The number of arches also increases, 1 Dc and 1 VP are knitted into each, and 1 Dc + 1 VP + 1 Dc are knitted into the last arch of the petal. Transitions between rows are similar. Using this principle, you can knit a mill motif of any size.

Video tutorial

As you understand, the text description of knitting the “Mill” pattern is poorly received. For those who do not know how to read patterns, but want to master this motif, below we post a video tutorial on knitting the windmill motif from one of the needlewomen. The windmill motif is crocheted there step by step, with detailed explanations. The same principles are used as described above.

What to knit from the “Mill” motifs

The “Mill” pattern is universal. This means that it is suitable for knitting clothes and even some interior items. Needlewomen insert this pattern into patterns for umbrellas, tablecloths, and napkins. But much more often, airy stoles are knitted with mill motifs. Moreover, both according to the scheme given on this page, and according to other, more complex schemes. Below you see an example of a stole.

Mill pattern stole

The “Mill” pattern is no less often used when knitting summer T-shirts. Typically these are beach items worn by swimmers and provide maximum ventilation.

Things knitted from motifs always look original and unusual. Those who do not crochet will not immediately understand what it is made of and how such a pattern is obtained.

For example, crochet windmill motif in itself it looks extremely interesting. Moreover, crocheted patterns made from such motifs are an absolutely incomparable combination. Surely you have seen products crocheted with a windmill pattern: blankets, tablecloths, skirts, pullovers or tops.

Variants of mill motifs, with a different number of “blades”, which determines the shape of the motif (square, circle, hexagon) and various layout options provide enormous scope for creativity.

There are so many schemes of mill motifs that it is impossible to talk about all the options in one note. Mill blades can be crocheted with single crochets, double crochets, and various patterns such as popcorn crochet.

In today's selection you will find several crochet windmill motif patterns, as well as master classes on knitting this motif.

The ability to knit motifs helps needlewomen work on a wide variety of products. In crochet, motifs are used to work on the following wardrobe and household items: sweaters, tunics, jackets, cardigans, tops, shawls, vests, skirts, bags, ponchos and much more, and are also very popular in the manufacture of household knitted items, such as tablecloths, napkins, potholders, blankets, pillowcases and lace trim for textiles.

Schemes and descriptions of crochet motifs

The use of motifs is a very common practice among most crochet fans, which is why it is so important to regularly replenish your collection of patterns for motifs. Let's take a closer look at crocheting patterns of all possible shapes and different levels of complexity.

Simple round

Simple round crochet motifs will help beginning knitters learn to work with more complex motif shapes, which is why it's so important to start with them. Experienced knitters use simple round motifs as additional elements in more complex products that include a variety of types of motifs. Let's look at some simple patterns of round crochet motifs with detailed photographs and descriptions of the progress of work.

Round two-color motif

This motif looks great in two-tone yarn in contrasting shades. It turns out quite festive and cute, moreover, with a slight openwork effect. It will look great on bags, sweaters, skirts, tablecloths and many other crocheted items.

Magic mandala

A beautiful motif with characteristic color features and a meditative semantic background will look wonderful on handbags, skirts, blouses, pillows, and also as a separate decorative piece of furniture. The motif consists of nine multi-colored rows, you can choose the colors yourself, the main thing is to choose your favorite ones.

VP- air loop;
RLS- single crochet;
CCH- double crochet;
СС2Н- double crochet stitch;
PS1N- a lush double crochet stitch;
SS- connecting column.

Knitting Features:

We knit the mandala in the round, connecting the end and beginning of each row with a SS.

We hide each “tail” of the previous row in the next row: we lay it along the row and grab it together with the loops when knitting, cutting off the tip. We simply cut off the first “tail” from the double loop - it is sufficiently secured in itself and will not go anywhere. Thus, in the end we will have to hide only one “tail” with a needle - the very last one.

Progress:

1st row: We make a “double amigurumi loop”, knit 3 VP rises and knit 11 DC into the loop.

2nd row: to the end of the row.

3rd row: to the end of the row.

4th row: between every two PS1N.

5 row: we lay a “pigtail” from the SS on top of the previous row, stretching the thread between the DCs.

6th row: to the end of the row.

7th row: in the same previous row (in this case, yellow), but shifted by 2 loops.

8th row: to the end of the row, capturing two rows of VP from the two previous rows at once.

9th row: in each arch from 5 VPs of the previous row. The crochet mandala motif is ready.

Triangular

Things with triangular elements look very interesting. Triangular crochet motifs almost always have an airiness and delicacy, which is convenient to use in the manufacture of a wide variety of clothing models.

Dense triangle

Knitted triangular motifs come in varying complexity, with one of the simplest being the granny square style. Let's first try to figure out how to knit such a tight triangle.

Motif knitting pattern:

Progress:

This triangle is knitted in the round. We make the initial ring using a loop.

Then we perform 5 tbsp. s/n and 2 more vp (photo 1). Tighten the loop and close the row of connections. st., inserting the hook into the top lifting loop of this row (photo 2).

2nd row: 3 v.p.p. (photo 1), then we knit in each s/n before. rows of 1 tbsp. s/n (4 tbsp. s/n) (photo 2), in an arch from v.p. prev row we knit 2 tbsp. s/n, 2 v.p. and 2 more tbsp. s/n (photo 3), in each trace. Art. s/n previous rows we knit 1 tbsp. s/n (5 tbsp. s/n) (photo 4).

We also knit 2 tbsp into the arch. s/n, 2 vp, 2 tbsp. s/n (photo 1), then 5 tbsp. s/n (photo 2), in the arch 2 tbsp. s/n, 2 vp, 2 tbsp. s/n. We close the row of connections. Art., inserting the hook into the upper lifting loop (photo 3).

3rd row: 3 v.p.p. (photo 1), then in each st. s/n previous rows we knit 1 tbsp. s/n (6 tbsp. s/n) (photo 2), in the arch, similar to how we knitted in the last row - 2 tbsp. s/n, 2 vp, 2 tbsp. s/n (photo 3), *further in each st. s/n previous rows we knit 1 tbsp. s/n (9 tbsp. s/n), knit 2 tbsp in the arch. s/n, 2 vp, 2 tbsp. s/n*. Repeat from * 1 more time. And we add another 1 tbsp at the end of the row. s/n in art. s/n previous row (2 tbsp. s/n). We close the row of connections. Art. into the upper lifting loop (photo 4).

Subsequent rows are worked similarly, performing 4 additional sts. s/n on each side of the triangle. In this way you can knit triangles of different sizes. You can also start each row with a separate color.

Elven motif

A beautiful triangular motif made using the Irish lace technique, from which you can also create incredible, delicate openwork circular motifs. Let's take a closer look at how to crochet this triangular motif.

Motif knitting pattern:

4th row: V. n., 5 st. b/n, 7 c. p., v. p. instead of st. b/n, because there is nothing to cling to yet (in the following places, instead of v. p. st. b/n), 4 st. b/n along this chain of 7 sts. p., pico from 4th century. p., 4 tbsp, (3 tbsp, picot from 4 v. p.) repeat 3 times, 9 tbsp, turn knitting 5 v. p., 4 sts s3/n in the 3rd st b/n counting back along the row, 5 sts. p., st b/n in the 6th st b/n, counting back along the row, turn the knitting over, 3 st b/n along a chain of 5 sts. p., pico from 4th century. p., 3 tbsp, picot from 4, 3 tbsp, picot, 3 tbsp, and then along the chain of 15 sts. n. of the previous row - (3 sc/n, picot) 3 times, 3 sc/n... and repeat until the end.

But such a round motif is obtained from connecting these triangles:

Square

Square crochet motifs are very popular among both beginning needlewomen and professionals, because they are crocheted quickly and easily. Motifs of this form can consist of light patterns or contain complex convex elements.

Grandmother's Square

One of the most common and popular square motifs is the granny square. This is a classic motif that is used for knitting a wide variety of products.

Materials for work:

yarn (cotton, acrylic, wool mixture);
hook for yarn.

Progress:

Knitting a granny square begins with knitting the warp. You can start knitting with an amigurumi ring instead of chain stitches, but here we show how to knit the motif with a base of loops.

We knit five chain stitches with yellow thread.

We insert the hook into the last loop from the hook and pull the working thread through so that there are 2 loops on the hook. We pull one of the loops through the other so that we get one loop on the hook. The chain of air loops is closed.

A new row begins with three lifting loops.

By inserting the hook into the ring of chain stitches, we knit two double crochets, and take three chain loops as another double crochet.

In order to highlight the vertices of a square motif, you need to knit three chain stitches between three single crochet stitches. We knit three air. loops and again inserting the hook into the ring, we now knit three double crochets.

We knit all the other vertices for the granny square in a similar way. At the end of the row, we complete it with a half-column, inserting the hook into the third lifting air loop.

In the second row, change the thread to gray. To do this, we will stretch a gray thread through the loop of another yellow thread and knit air loops. We tighten the yellow thread, but do not cut it. You need to knit 5 chain stitches.

We approach the first vertex of the square and here we knit 6 double crochet stitches, and between them there are three air loops. In this way, all the vertices of a square crochet motif or granny square are formed.

Between the vertices in this row we knit two air loops. We knit the second vertex of the square in the same way as the first.

We knit all the vertices of the square and end the row with a half-column. It is important to remember that the three chain stitches at the beginning of the row count as the last single crochet at the end of the row.

We start the third row for the motif by knitting three chain stitches and two double crochets.

We knit the third row and finish it with a half-column.

We move on to knitting the fourth row and knit it in the same way as all the previous rows for the square crochet motif.

To make this square motif larger, knit a couple or three more rows. Fasten the thread and cut it.

Flower square

A motif similar to the Grandmother's square looks a little more intricate, especially if knitted with multi-colored threads. This beautiful and simple motif is suitable for many useful knitted items in the kitchen. Let's take a closer look at how to crochet it.

Abbreviations for knitting descriptions:

v.p- airy. a loop

SB– single crochet

CH– single crochet

S2H– double crochet stitch

Sun- lush column

Materials for work:

remnants of cotton yarn of different colors;
hook No. 2.5.

Motif knitting pattern:

Progress:

Knitting each square motif begins with an amigurumi loop or a chain of chain stitches. It is enough to dial 5-6 chain stitches to close them into a ring and knit another 3 chain stitches. for lifting and moving to knitting the first row of a square motif. It’s also important not to forget about one more v.p. for lifting. In total we knit 4 ch.

The first round row of the square crochet motif consists of 12 dc, where the first 3 ch counts as 1 dc. In other words, you need to knit 11 dc in the first row. We end this row with a connecting half-column. The thread of the previous row needs to be secured and cut. She won't be needed anymore.

The second row will be knitted with a blue thread and we start it with three vp. and a lush column.

How to knit a puffy stitch:

Throw a working thread onto the hook, insert the hook under the loop of the previous row and grab the working thread. Stretch it so that there are 3 yarn overs on the hook. Yarn over the hook again, bring it under the loop of the previous row, and pull out the working thread. There should be 5 yarn overs on the hook. Pull the working thread through five loops on the hook and leave 1 loop on the hook.

According to the diagram, you need to knit 2 ch between the lush columns.

In the second row of this motif, vertices should be formed. The top of the square will consist of three vp, C2H and three more vp.
We cast on 3 ch, knit C2H and another 3 ch. Next, following the pattern, you need to knit four vertices for the square. In this row it will be clearly visible that the crocheted motif has become square in shape.

In the next third row, you need to replace the thread again, and fasten and cut the thread of the previous row.
Row three begins with three vp. and two CH. In this case, 3 ch will be taken as one dc.

We knit the third row in single crochet stitches according to the pattern.

The fourth row will be the last row for the square motif. It consists only of CH. We complete the 4th row, getting a ready-made motif.

Mysterious square

An interesting way to knit a regular square is to play with the shapes inside the square, which can be conveyed with contrasting colors. In this case, there are small triangles inside the motif that are visually connected into squares.

Square knitting pattern:

Abbreviations in the diagram:

11th row: 5 dc in each corner arch, and 2 dc in each arch from 3 ch of the previous row.

Row 12: 3 sc in each corner sc in the previous row and sc in the remaining columns. The square is ready.

Hexagonal

Patterns of hexagonal motifs are often used by needlewomen when knitting large decorative items, such as tablecloths, bedspreads, blankets, curtains, napkins and others, but are also popular when creating blouses, dresses, cardigans. You can crochet a hexagonal motif in accordance with the idea: be it a thin openwork hexagon, or a dense warming motif. Let's consider both options for knitting motifs of this beautiful shape.

Openwork hexagon

A floral pattern consisting of many elements creates a beautiful, complex motif suitable for a wide variety of products. Let's consider in detail how it can be connected.

Knitting pattern:

Progress:

To start knitting, cast on 12 air loops and connect them into a ring with a blind loop. Next knit 1st row: make one chain lifting loop and knit 24 sts. b/n, finish the row with a connecting loop in the lifting loop.

2nd row: 3 air lifting loops + 1 air. loop, then knit a double crochet + 1 chain crochet from each loop of the previous row. a loop. Having connected the first three columns, make a chain of 10 air stitches. loops and close it into a loop, tying it at the top of the last column - st. b/n. Next *v. s/n, 1 air. loop, again dial 10 air. loops and close the chain into a loop by knitting st. b/n from the top of the last column, repeat from * 3 more times. Then knit 4 tbsp. s/n alternating them with chain stitches, instead of the last chain stitch, make a single crochet in the last lifting loop, then to knit the last stitch, cast on a chain of 5 chain stitches. loops and knit a double crochet stitch, inserting the hook into the last lifting loop. The row ends at the top of the loop, which will be the basis for knitting the petals in the 3rd row, and there should be 6 such loops in total (photo 1).

3rd row: dial 4 air. lifting loops, 4 tbsp. s/2n, 4 tbsp. s/n, art. b/n, *knit the next petal by inserting the hook into the next loop 4 tbsp. s/n, 1 tbsp. s/2n, then knit an arch from a double crochet stitch, inserting a hook into the last double crochet stitch of the previous petal, then 9 tbsp. s/2n, 4 tbsp. s/n, fastening art. b/n, repeat from* 4 more times. Finish the row on the unknitted petal by making 4 tbsp. s/n, 1 tbsp. s/2n, arch between the petals - st. s/4n, 4 tbsp. s/2n, connecting loop to the last lifting loop (photo 2).

4th row: starts at 9 air. lifting loops, then knit 6 tbsp from the arch of the previous row. s/n, loop of 13 air. loops closed with a single crochet, 6 tbsp. s/n from an arch, 4 air. loops. *Next, knit a three-cornered stitch like this: first make a double crochet stitch, then a double crochet from the center of the previous stitch, knit a loop of 9 chain crochets. loops, close it by knitting st. b/n from the top of the last stitch and knit the last st. s/n from the center of the double crochet stitch. Continue - 4 air. loops, 6 tbsp. s/n from an arch, loop from 13 air. loops, close it st. b/n from the top of the last column, 6 tbsp. s/n, 4 air. loops and repeat from* 4 more times. The last three-horned element is knitted from the second air. lifting loops 2 tbsp. s/n, loop of 4 air. loops and a post with three crochets from the 5th lifting loop (photo 3).

5th row: The last row of petals is knitted, start with 3 lifting stitches, 9 tbsp. s/n, fastening single crochet from the arch of 4 air loops of the previous row, then from the larger loop (13 air loops) knit 28 tbsp. s/2n, art. b/n, from a smaller loop (9 air loops) 18 tbsp. s/n, art. b/n, finish the row with a connecting loop in the last lifting loop (photo 4).

6th final row: the motif is laced with picot elements - 3 air. loops connected into a bump by a connecting post into the first loop. You can connect motifs in this row by connecting the motifs at the tops of the picot, for this, perform one chain stitch, make a connecting column from the picot bump of another motif, 1 chain stitch. loop and connecting post in the first air. loop (photo 5, 6, 7).

New Year's motive

A beautiful New Year's snowflake in a multifaceted motif can become part of a large product, or be a separate holiday decoration - a Christmas tree toy. This dense motif can definitely add a festive vibe.

Knitting pattern:

Progress:

The knitting of the motif begins with a white thread.

Knit a chain of 5 VPs, close it into a ring (photo 1).

Work sc, making additions. Then knit 6 times 3 triple picots (photo 2).

Starting from the fourth row, knit each even row with a red thread, each odd row with a white thread.

Tie the edge of each motif with a green thread.

Openwork patterns

Openwork crocheted motifs are crocheted in different ways, depending on the products for which they are selected. Their shapes may vary. They can be complex and multi-structured, or they can be simple and simple. Let's try to figure out how to knit some of them.

Openwork square

An interesting openwork square with a floral motif looks elegant and delicate, and it can be used for crocheting a wide variety of products.

Motif knitting pattern:

Progress:

Knitting the motif starts from the center. Make an initial ring from a chain of 5 air loops or a sliding loop. This square looks beautiful in two colors: rows 1-5 are knitted in one color, rows 6 - 8 in another.

1st row: 3 chain lifting loops, 15 double crochets in the initial ring;

2nd row: 3 chain stitches, * 1 chain stitch, 1 double crochet stitch in the stitch of the previous row * - repeat 15 times, 1 chain stitch, close the row with a connecting stitch;

openwork flower

If you are looking for the finest crocheted floral motif, you can watch this video tutorial. This is a more complex and painstaking work, which is better to familiarize yourself with in advance using MK. A crochet pattern for the motif is attached.

Irish lace

Irish lace is rightfully considered a complex work that requires maximum concentration. Motifs with elements of Irish lace look detailed and impressive, so they can be used to decorate the main elements of knitted products, which will be the main focus. It is Irish motifs that are the main component of Irish lace, since small motifs are knitted first, and then the connecting mesh between them. Consider in detail how you can crochet such a motif. Irish lace and the secrets of its knitting will help with this.

Yarrow

When crocheting this motif, you should use a bourdon - that is, fold the thread in 3-4 folds. Here it is important to use the same threads so that the warp is knitted in the same color and does not show through.

Progress:

We start at 18 s. b. n., typed on bourdon. We enclose them in a ring, hooking them to the initial stitch of the connecting stitch.

Then we continue to add another 60 tbsp to the bourdon. b. n.

We turn the knitting over, having previously pulled the bourdon threads tighter. Let me remind you - we turn it over, like a leaf of a book that has been read.
And we knit 20 tbsp. b. n., laying the bourdon over the loops of the previous row.

Having knitted the last stitch, be sure to tighten the bourdon, setting the shape and density of the motif.

Temporarily set aside the bourdon threads. And then we knit in this order: 3 air. p., skipping 2 p. of the previous row, knit 1 tbsp. With. n., again 2 air stitches. Knit this way until the “head” of the sheet begins to round. We knit along the curve in the same way, only we skip 1 stitch of the previous row.

Turn the knitting and knit 3 tbsp into each formed arch. b. n.
All this time we do not touch the bourdon.

Having reached the last point, we turn the work over and on one bourdon we impose 15 tbsp. b. n.

We turn the work again and, having laid the bourdon, knit it like this: 2 tbsp. b. n., 2 half-columns, 7 tbsp. With. n., 2 half-st., 2 tbsp. b. n.

We turn the work, skip 2 sts of the previous row, knit 1 tbsp. b. n., clinging to the row of the base and again, laying a budon on top of the already knitted petal, we knit 8 tbsp. b. n.

We turn the work again and knit in the above order, forming another petal. In this way we tie the entire row to the end. The Irish lace motif is ready.

Volumetric Irish rose

Often bright square motifs are decorated in an original way with similar voluminous flowers, which looks very impressive as the main accent of the entire product. There are a huge variety of patterns for knitting flowers with Irish lace, since such elements are extremely popular. Let's look at the detailed process of crocheting one of them with step-by-step photographs.

Progress:

Knit 5 chain stitches, connect into a ring, tie a ring with 8 tbsp. without double crochet (photo 1) knit 2 tbsp into each loop of the previous row. double crochet - makes 16 tbsp. with double crochet (photo 2) * 5 ch, next. 2 loops of the previous row - 2 tbsp. without crochet* (photo 3) we knit like this until the end of the row (photo 4). We tie each petal - 1 tbsp. without crochet, 5 tbsp. double crochet, 1 tbsp. without a crochet, we knit 1 half-stitch into the bridge between the petals (photo 5) and get a simple flower (photo 6).

Next, we knit the next tier of petals - *7 vp, make a relief column, grabbing the column of the previous row behind the work* (photo 1) and do this until the end of the row (photo 2). This is what the flower looks like from the reverse side (photo 3). Now we tie each bow as follows - * 1 tbsp. without crochet, 7 tbsp. double crochet, 1 tbsp. without a crochet* in a column between the petals we make 1 half-column (photo 4). Two tiers are ready (photo 5). We knit the arms for the 3rd tier in the same way, only the chain already consists of 10 chain stitches. This is how the flower looks from the inside out (photo 6).

Then we knit under each arch - * 1 tbsp. without crochet, 10 ch, 1 tbsp. without crochet* (photo 1). We tie the petals - *1 half-column, 1 ch* (photo 2). Irish rose is ready.

Beautiful for a dress

Crocheting motifs for a dress is a pleasure for those who love painstaking work, because the result depends on each individual element. Usually, for dresses and skirts, openwork motifs of unusual intricate shapes are chosen, which will look bright and textured on simple clothing models.

Mill

This openwork motif is quite popular and is often used when crocheting dresses, blouses, and skirts. However, its popularity does not take away from its originality.

Crochet motif pattern:

Progress:

To start knitting, cast on a chain of 9 chain stitches. and close it into a ring with a connecting post.

For the first row do 3 air reps. lifting further from the ring, knit 17 st.s.n., complete a row of connecting st. into the last loop of the climb.

2nd row start with 3 chains. rise, in this row, knit arches from chains of chain stitches, make treble stitches, then repeat 5 times: 4 chain stitches, 2 chain stitches, complete the row by making 4 chain stitches. and conn. Art. into the last loop of the climb.

In the next rows The knitting motif expands and the pattern of the blades, which are made in st.s./n., shifts. First, knit along a row of joint stitches, then cast on 3 chain stitches. lifting, perform 1 tbsp. s/n and 2 tbsp. s/n from the beginning of the arch, 5 chain stitches, repeat 3 treble s/n, 5 chain stitches, finish the row of connections. Art. into the 3rd lifting loop.

Start knitting new series also shift by 1 loop, making a connection st. in a row. In this series, the motive is expanded by increasing the number of st. s/n by blades.

Knit the motif according to the mill pattern to the desired size, which can be changed by increasing or decreasing the number of rows, due to this you can expand the fabric, for example, to the bottom of the skirt of a dress or sundress.

You can connect hexagonal motifs in the last row in the process of knitting columns - on the sides. To do this, before knitting the stitch, insert the hook into the top of the stitch of the second motif, then yarn over the hook and knit a st. s/n as usual. You can sew knitted motifs with a darning needle, making a mattress stitch on the wrong side.

Floral openwork

A beautiful airy crochet motif is ideal for summer clothes: dresses, blouses, skirts. Let's look at how to crochet it in more detail below.

Motif knitting pattern:

Progress:

At the beginning of knitting the motif, dial 8 chain stitches. and lock them into a ring. To knit the first row of the motif, cast on 4 chain stitches. rise + 2 chain stitches, then knit 2 tbsp. s/2n through 2 air.p. 11 times, from each loop of the initial ring, knit 3 stitches, finish the row with st. s/2n and connection art. into the 4th lifting loop.

To knit the second row, cast on 3 chain stitches. rise and knit 3 tbsp. s/n together (with one top) from the first arch, then knit *5 chain stitches. and 4 tbsp. s/n with one top from the next arch, repeat from * 11 more times, finish the row with 5 chain stitches. and conn. Art. to the top of the first three columns.

To knit the 3rd row along the arch, knit 3 connections. st, then knit 12 arches from 7 chain stitches, securing them with st. b/n in the center of the arches of the previous row. Complete the row of connections. Art.

When knitting the second and subsequent motifs, connect them while knitting the last row; for this, instead of arches of 7 chain stitches. knit 3 chain stitches, then make a connection. Art. from the center of the outer arch of another motif, 3 air.p. and Art. b/n.

Master class for beginners

Beginner knitters are often interested in the topic of knitting motifs. As you can see above, there are many simple motifs that can be easily performed by anyone who has become familiar with the simplest types of loops. However, there are also other important aspects, in addition to crochet patterns, that are worth taking into account in order to properly design a knitted item. For example, how to knit multiple motifs continuously, or vice versa, what is the best way to combine separately related motifs?

Continuous crochet motifs

Why do knitters choose continuous knitting of a product from motifs, rather than joining ready-made elements of a crocheted item? The fact is that this method has its advantages: the threads do not need to be cut and hidden every time; the thing takes shape gradually, as it is knitted, and not at the very end; if necessary, you can unravel part of the product and bandage it.

However, this type of knitting motifs is considered quite difficult for beginner knitters, since continuous knitting has its own specifics - connecting each pattern in a continuous manner has its own peculiarity. That is why there is no single method of knitting motifs without interruption. However, the following can be noted rules for gradually knitting things from motifs:

The last row of the first motif is not completely knitted, after which you can proceed to knitting the second motif;
To knit the second motif without breaking the thread, you need to crochet a chain of air loops, and then knit the second motif;
When knitting, the second motif is attached to the first, and its last row is also not knitted to the end, after which they move on to the next - third motif, and so on, until the desired length of the product;
The top of the motifs is knitted after the entire row of motifs is ready.

Continuous crochet motifs.

To prevent the process from frightening you ahead of time, you should first choose a small item from among the motifs: a napkin, a stole, a scarf.

Let's try to clearly understand the specifics of the gradual combination of motives. The following will help with this master class on continuous knitting.

Round openwork motifs are knitted according to the following scheme with minor changes, namely: instead of an arch of 4 VP there will be an arch of 6 VP.

Progress:

6 VP, pinch the last loop with your finger and knit 6 more VP (for the ring that will be tied with C1H), SS in the first loop of the ring (photo 1). 2VP, SS in the third SS loop from the previous one, thread the thread from below, as in the photo. These back-and-forth chains will count as two C1H (photo 2).

24 С1Н (transition chains from VP are considered columns here) (photo 1). First connection using CC. The green transparent dot indicates the location for the SS (photo 2). The connection of the ring is completed (photo 3).

Second join with SS in the first loop of the chain. It is important to ensure that the chain does not twist and that the thread comes out from the left (photo 1).

The red transparent dot indicates where to knit the first sc to attach the arch.

Next are the arches from VP with attachment using RLS through one loop. In this case, they consist of 4 VPs. You can optionally use 5 or 6 loops for arches. I have the first ring with 4 arches for a convenient subsequent transition to the binding without tearing off the thread, and in subsequent rings there are 5 of them, and then transition to the next ring (photo 2, 3).

Here is the transition to the next ring. 8 VP (4 VP arches + 1 VP for the second connection + 3 VP for the column). Clamp the loop with your finger and knit 6 VPs for the ring. Continue as in the first ring.

Connection with the previous motif by sticking a hook into the arch (photo 1). 2VP and pull the loop under the arch (photo 2). Again 2VP (photo 3). Knit 5 arches and move on to the next motif (photo 4).

Work continues according to these diagrams to the required length.

After which there is a transition to knitting arches on top of the circles. To do this, do 2 VP, SS per chain, 2 VP. Arches. It is necessary to check that there are 12 arches around each circle.

And in the second row there is a simple RLS tie, but with a little secret. Since the repeat of shells is 6, and the number of loops in the binding is 135, it is reduced to 132. The loops in the rounded areas are reduced. And then a series of fans: 6 C1H, RLS (alternating through two loops).

Secrets of proper connection

Connecting motifs is as important a process as knitting the motifs themselves, because the final appearance of the product will largely depend on the method of connecting small components. The main methods of connection: during the knitting process (separate connection of motifs), as well as the connection of ready-made motifs with different types of columns.

Connecting motifs in a seamless way

During the knitting process, the motifs are gradually connected as they are ready using single crochets in the last row of the element being joined. This is done according to the following scheme.

Combining ready-made motifs, method No. 1

In this case, pre-knitted motifs are connected using single crochet stitches at the edges of both motifs.

Combining ready-made motifs, method No. 2

To get a flatter seam when joining individual motifs, you should use this method. You need to work in single crochets, connecting the motifs at the back walls of the loops.

Video for beginners

As always, a detailed master class from professionals will help beginner knitters quickly get used to creating crochet motifs. In addition, as a result, novice needlewomen will get a very beautiful square openwork motif.

Video “crochet motifs”

Crochet windmill motif is unique in that when connected motifs are combined into a canvas, they form a single pattern of spirally twisting blades, the design of one motif goes into the pattern of neighboring motifs, and in general the pattern of the “mill” motifs is mesmerizing. The “mill” crochet motif with openwork paths is often used for knitting summer elegant dresses, sundresses, blouses and tablecloths.

Essentially, the knitted windmill motif has a hexagonal shape. Connected hexagons are connected into a single canvas on the sides, since the corners of the motif are not clearly expressed, and are completed with openwork arches made of air loops.

Knitting pattern for the “mill” motif:

To start knitting, cast on a chain of 9 chain stitches. and close it into a ring with a connecting post.

For the first row, make 3 chain stitches. lifting further from the ring, knit 17 st.s.n., complete a row of connecting st. into the last loop of the climb.

Start the 2nd row with 3 chain stitches. rise, in this row, knit arches from chains of chain stitches, make treble stitches, then repeat 5 times: 4 chain stitches, 2 chain stitches, complete the row by making 4 chain stitches. and conn. Art. into the last loop of the climb.

In the next rows of knitting the motif, the pattern of the blades, which are made in st.s./n., expands and shifts. First, knit along a row of joint stitches, then cast on 3 chain stitches. lifting, perform 1 tbsp. s/n and 2 tbsp. s/n from the beginning of the arch, 5 chain stitches, repeat 3 treble s/n, 5 chain stitches, finish the row of connections. Art. into the 3rd lifting loop.

Also shift the beginning of knitting a new row by 1 loop, making a connection st. in a row. In this series, the motive is expanded by increasing the number of st. s/n by blades.

You can connect hexagonal motifs in the last row while knitting columns - on the sides. To do this, before knitting the stitch, insert the hook into the top of the stitch of the second motif, then yarn over the hook and knit a st. s/n as usual. You can sew knitted motifs with a darning needle, making a mattress stitch on the wrong side.

This luxurious sundress and bolero made from “mill” motifs; the dress is widened at the bottom by increasing the number of rows of the motifs.

For knitting a sundress you will need: 550 g of yarn (100% cotton, 530 n x 100 g) bright pink, hook number 1.5 - 2.
The model is made of individual motifs knitted in a circle in a spiral. See the pattern for the location of the motifs, where the numbers indicate the number of rows connected by C1H. Before starting work, make a test sample according to the knitting pattern of the motif, determine the knitting density and calculate the fabric in accordance with individual sizes.

Knit hexagonal motifs “mill” and connect them together with a needle, forming the fabric of the lower part of the dress (see diagram).

Complete the bodice cups according to the diagram. Tie them in two rows of the pattern according to pattern 23 a and tie them to the canvas using arches from VP and RLS. Tie the straps into 2 threads according to pattern 23 b. Decorate the bottom of the product with a sc with a picot.

For knitting bolero you will need: 150 g of yarn (100% cotton, 530 m x 100 g) bright pink, hook No. 1.5, - 2.

The model is made of individual motifs knitted in a circle in a spiral. See the pattern for the location of the motifs, where the numbers indicate the number of rows connected by C1H.
