What can you crochet? Crochet toys: patterns. Crochet potholders: patterns

Good afternoon dear friends!

We knitters always accumulate so much leftover yarn. It is so?

I have two huge shelves of this stuff in my closet. I was recently putting things in order, sorting it out and thinking about how I could put the leftover yarn into use.

Therefore, I want to discuss with you this topic, what to knit from leftover yarn for the home, ideas for knitting and crocheting, what crafts you can make.

While I was thinking and selecting different ideas, I came up with an article - a review of my blog posts. It turns out that quite a few things have already been proposed to be knitted, for which leftover yarn can be used.

Well, a review just like a review, with pictures and links to relevant articles, maybe it will be useful to someone. For some, the ideas will be new, while others have seen them, but put off knitting until future times. Let me just remind you. Well, I’ll throw in a few new ideas.

What to knit: in general, this question may worry many who, in principle, love to knit and it doesn’t matter what, as long as they always have their hands busy, because from this you get such enormous satisfaction! It comes from somewhere inside, knitters will understand me. By the way, we recently reflected on the topic ““, if interested, come read and participate in the discussion.

What little things can you knit from leftover yarn for the home?

Potholders and coasters

The first thing that always comes to mind, for some reason, is oven mitts for the kitchen. The easiest way to use leftover yarn.

Indeed, old or outdated items often require replacement, and new decorations for the kitchen will not hurt.

I will offer you a couple of new bright ideas.

The first potholder is crocheted in the form of a square of bright threads. When knitting corners diagonally, the hook is inserted under the leg of the column of the previous row, which is why such an interesting effect is obtained.

For the second potholder with a flower in the center (you can see a diagram of the flower), a different color of yarn was used for each of the four sides. It also looks very bright and fun.

Other potholders made from leftover yarn:

In addition, you can knit wonderful ones from leftover yarn.

Cases

Have you seen oven mitts in the form of covers for the handle of a frying pan? Very creative and always at hand.

Here’s just another idea from leftover yarn - to knit all kinds of covers:

on arms, legs, shoulders,
for and
For ,
For .

You can knit or crochet such things. Different ideas with diagrams you will find at the appropriate links.

Knit a pocket for small items and attach it to the armrest of the sofa. It will be convenient to store remote controls in it, and you can put your phone and knitting needles, or you can pour some candy and drink some tea while ironing the TV.

Covers for our legs can also be knitted from leftovers.

Flower decorations

Couple creative ideas: make a cover for a chair using only flowers and decorate the wall with knitted flowers. I also came across crocheted flowers on mesh country fences. I implemented this idea for my flower garden.

I also really like topiary, from knitted flowers including. This idea is still awaiting my implementation.

Baskets

What else can you knit from leftover yarn?

How do you like the idea? knitted baskets for kitchen and bathroom?

A basket will also help to store the yarn itself. Bright, cozy. And it’s convenient to knit by putting the balls there, then they won’t roll all over the floor and get tangled.

Crocheting a basket is not difficult. First we knit a circle for the bottom, and then we continue knitting upward without adding loops in the rows. Use single crochets and take a thicker hook. Then the knitting will be tight and the basket will keep its shape well.

You can also knit from leftovers.

Panel

The next photo shows the idea of a knitted panel. I liked it so much that I even wanted to make it happen. All you need to do is knit a small rectangle with knitting needles from the leftover yarn in a braided pattern and place this work of art in a frame.

You can use a pattern that you once knitted for a pullover.

You can knit a more complex picture - my dream is still the same.

Various original panels can be crocheted. I knitted a panel in the shape of a sunflower for my kitchen. Master Class .

Cushions and rugs made from leftover yarn

You can make pillows and rugs with your own hands from leftover yarn.

First, knit, of course. Use bright leftover yarn and knit a pillow from motifs, maybe a square one, or a pillow with a zigzag pattern, or like the one in the photo -. And you can even knit a fashionable one!

And I also like this bright one from tiny squares. I recorded a video of how to knit the motif:

A rug made from leftover yarn can be knitted round in any way, decorated with tassels or not decorated.

I really like pillows and rugs made from pom-poms and knitted flowers from various leftovers.

First you need to tie on a bunch of flowers or wind pompoms, and then sew them tightly together onto some kind of fabric base.

In addition to knitting, you can use another method of making pillows and rugs: cut the yarn into pieces and attach them with a crochet hook to a mesh base. For pillows it can be knitted into fillet technique. And for rugs you will need to find a special type of burlap, even construction mesh will do.

A detailed description of this technology is in the article.

See patterns for rugs.

Maybe someone will feel sorry for cutting the yarn, but it turns out such fluffy beauty, and even with a pattern! I once decided and did not regret that I made a pillow from threads. And I didn’t spend that much time.

Blankets made from leftover yarn

We came to bigger things. A blanket made from leftover yarn? Why not?

Some of my readers said that after knitting something, any thing, they immediately knit a square motif from the remnants of yarn and gradually assemble them into a blanket. I wonder if this work has already been completed or not?

Blankets with squares always look very interesting; you can even knit squares in different patterns and combine knitting and crochet in one blanket.

Of course, to knit a blanket from the very beginning as a separate piece of work, you will need quite a lot of leftover yarn, and the most difficult thing is to choose them according to the color and thickness of the thread. But over the years of knitting, a lot of these can accumulate, this is in principle possible. In addition, you can unwind old pullovers and sweaters.

I present ideas for blankets made from leftover yarn in the photo.

One bright blanket is knitted in a patchwork style using short row knitting.

For another plaid, you need to knit individual colored stripes and then sew them together.

We have a diagram and description of knitting something like this.

There has already been a story about crocheted blankets.

Another bright plaid is crocheted in rows of simple single crochets: two rows of single crochets, in the third row - several single crochets at the base of the previous row and several double crochets, when knitting which the hook is inserted into the columns on the row below.

From the leftover yarn you can make knitting and crocheting, and from new ideas you will find patterns and descriptions by following the appropriate links, and I will post the video here again.

Or this bright “Rainbow” blanket, in which you can use almost all colors at once. How to tie a pattern to it with raised columns diagonally, see the video.

Crafts from leftover yarn

How else can you use leftover yarn? You can knit different toys. So far I’ve only knitted, it, along with its brothers from other materials, helps me get rich.

You can make all kinds of crafts from pompoms for children and just for comfort.

And a vase with flowers - pom-poms looks charming, and such a poodle can very well decorate the interior and even give it as a gift. I did this when I was young. We use any empty small bottle and knit a cover for it. We make ears, paws, a tail and a crest from pom-poms.

Many of us, in early childhood, mastered such skills as crocheting during labor lessons.

Even then, the question arose: what can be crocheted, because most people, as a rule, managed to master the technique of knitting in this way.

That is why handicrafts made me want to do something with my own hands, in order to have a cute craft in my arsenal of things that would remind me of mastering this skill.

Using a hook you can create not only bedspreads and tablecloths, but also magnificent toys. For example, you can make this cute elephant! This toy can become a real talisman that attracts good luck, bestows goodness and peace and protects its owner from all dangers. To work, you will need a hook number 3 and some yarn (about 50 g). Choose the color of the knitting threads the way you like. And our elephant will be green - Children's novelty", 200 m/100 g). We begin the work by making ears. We make a “magic” ring and 5 single crochets. Next we tie them according to the pattern:

By analogy, we also crochet the second ear of the toy. The diagrams clearly demonstrate the operating technology.

How to make the head, trunk and torso of an elephant?

After making the ears, we begin knitting other parts. We form a “magic” ring and knit 6 single crochets into it. We also perform the second and third rows with single crochets, without making any increases. And in the fourth and fifth we increase by knitting 7 single crochets. In the sixth and seventh rows we increase the number of sts. b/n up to 8. That's all, the trunk is ready.

Now let's start making the head. We increase the number of columns in the eighth row to 16 pieces. From the ninth to the sixteenth row we knit 24 stitches. We make increases according to the scheme “2 tbsp. b/n - 1 tbsp. b/n”. From the fourteenth row we begin to decrease the loops - we knit 16 stitches. To do this, we repeat the pattern eight times: “skip 1 tbsp. b/n - then knit 1 tbsp. b/n.” In the fifteenth row we reduce the number of loops to 12, making the necessary decreases. That's all - the elephant's head is ready.

We continue to knit the “Elephant” toy

Now let's start making the body of the toy by crocheting. The operation schemes are described below. In the sixteenth row we begin to increase - we perform 24 columns. To do this, knit 2 tbsp into each base loop. b/n. From the seventeenth to the twenty-first row inclusive, we knit 24 stitches.

From the twenty-second row we begin to decrease the loops. We knit 18 stitches. b/n. The pattern for decreasing stitches “2 double stitches - skipping a stitch” is repeated 6 times. In the twenty-third row we perform 12 columns, making decreases according to the same pattern. In the twenty-fourth row we perform 6 tbsp. That's all - the elephant's body is ready. We stuff the toy with padding polyester, sew up the hole and make a tail. We braid a pigtail of sufficient length from three strands, tie it, and leave a tassel at the end.

We perform the elephant legs according to the following scheme. We make a “magic ring”, dial 8 tbsp. b/n and knit four more rows in a circle with the same number of stitches. We fill the legs with padding polyester or cotton wool and sew them to the body. We attach the ears to the head. We make the elephant's eyes from two black beads. If desired, we decorate our toy with a bow.

Learning to knit bright potholders

What can you crochet? In addition to cute toys, you can make these colorful and very elegant oven mitts. They will add variety to the interior of any kitchen and will appeal to any housewife.

So, let's start making this beautiful kitchen accessory with a “magic” ring and three air loops rise. Next, we knit 15 double crochet stitches and finish the row with a connecting loop. To complete the second row, take a thread of contrasting color and start working with one VP. Next we knit according to the pattern “1 single crochet - 2 ch”. We knit the entire row to the end and finish it with a connecting half-column. We start the third row with three VPs, perform three DCs and 1 VP. Then we knit 4 double crochet stitches and again 1 chain stitch. We continue to knit according to the pattern until the end of the row. We perform the fourth row with the same thread as the second. We knit 1 VP, then 1 tbsp. b/n and make a chain of 5 VP. We perform the entire row in this way. We complete it with a connecting loop.

We start the fifth row with three VP and 5 CH. Then we knit to the end of the row according to the pattern “1 VP - 6 CH” and finish the work with one connecting loop. To create the sixth row, we take a contrasting thread, the same one that was used to make the second and fourth rows. We knit according to the pattern “1 st b/n - 7 VP”. Eighth row: we perform the binding as follows. Do 1 VP lift, then 1 tbsp. b/n, 1 half double crochet, 2 dc, again 1 half double crochet and 1 tbsp. b/n. That's it, the adorable potholder is ready!

We will tell you in detail what the procedure for making a crochet potholder is for beginning craftsmen. First, we make five air loops and close them into a ring using a half-column. To lift we perform one VP. Next, we knit several rows with single crochets, and then with single crochets, not forgetting about the necessary lifting loops and ending each tier with a connecting loop. After creating the red “pulp” of the watermelon, we proceed to the design of the white “rind”. We take the required knitting thread and create one row with double crochets. As usual, we close it with a half-column. By analogy, make a green “crust” using the yarn of the desired color. Now we fold the round piece in half and knit the two resulting layers together. You have a beautiful pot holder in the form of a slice. All that remains is to embroider watermelon seeds with black threads. We advise you to make stitches from the center of the slice. If desired, you can make a loop from a chain of chain stitches, tied with two rows of dc, and attach it to the potholder on one edge.

It is advisable to choose bright yarn so that the product is pleasing to the eye. Linen threads can be replaced with nylon twine or sisal if desired. Let's start making the accessory by setting a chain of 40 VPs and closing it into a ring. We knit the first six rows with single crochets. The seventh and subsequent rows are made with long loops, which must remain inside the product. After the workpiece reaches the desired length, turn it inside out and connect the edges on one side. That's all - a comfortable washcloth for a bath is ready.

Compared to knitting, crochet will be much easier for beginners. The main thing in any master class is not to be afraid of “multi-story” diagrams with large descriptions. Knowing symbols, you can easily deal with any of them. If you want to learn how to crochet from scratch, the recommendations and video lessons below will help you.

Crochet for Beginners

Whatever kind of needlework you want to do from scratch, first you should learn more about its technology - watch lessons with photos and videos, study the types, necessary materials and tools. Crocheting for beginners will be much easier if you first learn how to hold the hook:

You need to use the hand that is your main one. For right-handers, this is the right and vice versa.
For convenience, the instrument is fixed between the thumb and index finger. Place it both above and below the brush - as you like. It is better to rest your hands on your elbows so that they are not suspended.
Next, when knitting, it is important to learn how to correctly fix the thread - along the outside of the palm between ring finger and little finger.

Types of crochet

Besides different types tools and materials, the basics of crochet include various techniques and techniques. The main one is straight and reverse rows. It resembles knitting and purling when using knitting needles. In addition to the basic technique, you can learn several more techniques. Crochet methods:

Sirloin. It consists of performing straight and reverse rows, only in them air loops and double crochets alternate. If you learn this technique, you can create large and small openwork patterns.
Round. Using this technique, work is performed in one direction. Knit in the round or in a spiral depending on the pattern. This technique is used to create carpets or napkins.
Expansion or narrowing of the canvas. Loops are added and subtracted either inside the fabric or along the edges. Moreover, this is done on one side or on both sides at once. To add, you need to knit several columns under one base, and to decrease, on the contrary, knit only the second of the two adjacent ones.

How to Read Crochet Patterns

The most “scary” thing for beginners in instructions on how to learn to crochet from scratch is the patterns. Not knowing the symbols makes it very difficult to understand how to read them. To do this, you should know a few basic rules:

Unlike a book, diagrams are read from bottom to top and from right to left. In knitting in the round, rows are placed clockwise.
You should know what rapport is. This is a repeating part of the pattern, it is indicated on the diagram with asterisks, which immediately indicates how many times this element needs to be knitted.

The most difficult thing in the “learning to crochet” section will be to remember the symbols, but it is not necessary to memorize them, because in almost any lesson there is a decoding of crochet patterns in the form of footnotes. Here are a few basic types of buttonholes you need to learn:

Initial. To do this, place the end of the thread on your index finger, then place a hook under it on the left side, turn it over, make a yarn over from the main thread and pull it through the resulting loop.
Air (AP). It is knitted almost like the initial one, you need to make a yarn over on the right side and pull the thread through the loop.
Connecting post (CC). To do this, insert the hook into the second loop in the row and pull the working thread through it. It turns out two loops. You need to pull the working thread through them again.
Single crochet (SC). They help reduce the number of loops. The beginning is similar to the connecting post, only the thread is pulled through the 2nd and 3rd loops of the row, and only then they are knitted.
Double crochet (Dc). A loop is placed on the instrument, and then you need to repeat the steps according to the principle of a single crochet table.

Types of crochet hooks

There are several different types of crochet hooks. The first classification divides them by material. So this tool could be:

aluminum;
wooden;
bamboo;
plastic;
steel;
bone.

There is also a division according to the size of the tool head. Its dimensions match the number. If the size of the head is 2 mm, then this is hook No. 2. In general, dimensions can range from 0.5 to 15 mm. The length of the tool may also be different. Short hooks– 125-200 mm, long – 350-450 mm. It is important that the tool is not too sharp or dull - this is inconvenient for work and even dangerous, and it will be more difficult to learn how to knit. In addition, there should be no mechanical damage. This will make crocheting more comfortable for beginners.

Next, knit a RLS rectangle of the size you would like the bow to be. Tie in the center with thread. Sew a bow to the bootie.

Go up 3 VP again. Next, knit with alternating 2 dc and 1 ch.
Knit 2 more rows in this way, in each row increasing the number of DCs knitted by 1, as shown in the photo.
In the next round, alternate 5 VP and 1 DC for each chain stitch of the previous row.
On the last round, alternately knit the following - 2 sc in 3 central loops of the arch, and then 1 sc under the central loop of the next arch. End with a connecting column.

This crochet hat is for suitable for beginners perfect, because learning how to knit it is very simple. You need to do the following step by step:

Cast on a chain of air loops from burgundy threads of such a length that corresponds to the circumference of your head.
Connect with a ring, then knit 1 row of dc.
Then rise to 3 VP, and then alternate 1 Dc and 1 embossed front column. Knit 5 rows like this.
Insert a white thread, go 1 round with simple double crochets. Next, take the burgundy yarn again. Knit 1 more row, do not break the white thread.
After 3 rounds, start decreasing stitches. Remove through as many loops as possible if their total number is divided by 6. For example, 72:6 = 12, which means decreasing every 12 loops.
Next, alternate rows with and without decreases up to 15-16 pieces. Then knit several circles simply with double crochets to form a tip.
Make a pompom from two types of yarn and sew it to the cap.
For beauty, the edges of the cap can be tied with single crochet stitches.
