Crocheting napkins is an activity that can captivate both beginners and experienced needlewomen. The article presents various patterns for knitting napkins with a detailed description of the work.

Crochet napkins

Crocheted napkins are an extraordinary beauty, the embodiment of lightness and tenderness. The craftswomen who create these magical woven snowflakes don’t just knit napkins, but give those around them a real fairy tale.

To learn how to knit napkins, in addition to a hook and a ball of yarn, you will need patience and attention. It is important that the needlewoman can correctly read the diagram and convey the pattern in her work.

IMPORTANT: You can knit a small napkin with a light pattern in a few hours, but creating a masterpiece with a complex pattern will take much more time.

For beginning needlewomen, it is better to first knit small-sized napkins with simple, uncomplicated patterns. When your hands get used to the new work, and the loops and posts become slender and even, you can move on to performing more complex elements.

In descriptions and explanations of diagrams, the following generally accepted abbreviations are often used:

• VP- air loop
• PS- half-column
• WITH- column
• RLS- single crochet
• S1H- double crochet
• S2H- double crochet stitch.

How to choose threads and crochet a simple napkin for beginners: diagram with description

Experienced craftswomen choose spider-thin yarn for their work. Deftly using crochet, they knit napkins of extraordinary beauty that look more like lace. However, those who are just learning to knit should not start with thin threads.

• To prevent the thread from getting tangled, choose medium thickness yarn. Wool blend and acrylic Perfect for first jobs.
• Thread color choose depending on the interior in which the finished napkin will be used.
• Hook size usually corresponds to the thickness of the thread. But if you need the knitting to look tight, take a thinner hook; if you want to get a large knitting product, choose a thick hook. To begin with, it is better to take a hook number 1.5. If they find it inconvenient to work with, it can always be replaced with a thicker or thinner one.
• For the first napkin, choose one of the simplest patterns- It’s better to finish a simple job than to quit a difficult one.

IMPORTANT: If you need to knit a thin openwork napkin, use bobbin cotton threads and a hook No. 0.5 - 1. For napkins of medium thickness, you need “Iris” threads and a hook No. 1.5.

How to crochet a white openwork square and rectangular napkin: diagram with description

Description:

Main motive (repeated 16 times):

• Tie a 10 chain chain. Connect into a ring.
• 1st row: 1 VP for lifting, 15 sc in the ring, end of the row using PS.
• 2nd row: 3VP for lifting, 1 PS1N knit together with the last VP of lifting into the 1st lifting loop, 2PS1N knit together into the next RLS of the previous row, 5VP, 2PS1N knit together into the next RLS of the previous row, 2PS1N knit together into the next RLS of the previous row, 5 VP. Repeat 8 times. Finish the row with a connecting post.
• 3rd row: 4VP for lifting, 3S2N into the arch from 5VP of the previous row, 4VP, 4S2N into the same arch from 5VP, 4VP, 1 RLS into the next arch from 5VP of the previous row, 4VP, 4S2N into the next arch from 5VP of the previous row, 4VP , 4С2Н in the same arch from 5VP, 4VP, 1СБН into the next arch from 5VP of the previous row, 4 P. Repeat only 4 times. Finish the row, as before, with a connecting column.
• Next, continue working according to the diagram of the main motif, ending the rows with connecting posts.
• Connect the finished elements together, starch the finished product and leave to dry.

IMPORTANT: To get a napkin from rectangular motifs, knit not 16, but 20, 24, 28 or more repeating elements and connect them together in a certain order.

Filet knitting or fillet knitting(loin lace) is the creation of a grid, some cells of which remain empty, and some are filled. The drawing is created in a certain way, depending on how the grid cells are filled.

Fillet knitting is very simple, and the patterns are easy to read and resemble cross stitch patterns. The elements of fillet knitting patterns, as well as patterns for cross stitch, are black and white checkers, circles and crosses. Moreover, an empty cell in the diagram is always indicated by a white cell, and a filled cell can be indicated by a black cell, a cross, or a circle.

IMPORTANT: Before you start knitting a fillet napkin according to the chosen pattern, knit a small sample of 10 by 10 squares, from which you can evaluate the type and density of future work.

Knitting cells is done as follows:

• Empty – S1N, 2VP
• Filled - 3С1Н.

Any fillet knitting begins with a chain of VP.

Calculation of loops for casting:

For 1 cell – 3VP chains + 6 loops to form 1 cell of 1 row. In order not to carry out calculations, you can knit a chain of arbitrary length and start knitting cells from the beginning. Then the extra loops of the chain can be unraveled, and the missing ones can be tied up.

Video: Sirloin mesh. Adding and subtracting cells. Crochet.

IMPORTANT: The place from which work begins (starting point) is marked with an arrow on the diagrams.

Sometimes work on a fillet napkin starts from the bottom or the top. Often work begins precisely from the center, and from there it moves down and up. When you have to knit a voluminous loin, you can knit individual parts and elements, and then knit them together.

IMPORTANT: In order for a napkin knitted with fillet knit to be neat and dense, the loops must not be “loose” or stretched, otherwise the work will be uneven and the pattern will be blurry.

Knowing the decoding of the circuit (empty - С1Н, 2ВП; filled - 3С1Н), you can immediately start working.

Elegant, light, voluminous two-color napkins not only look impressive, but are also very easy to knit. The “trick” of such napkins is their two-color nature. Similar plain napkins can get “lost” in the interior, and certainly won’t attract as much attention.

To work, you will need thin cotton yarn and a No. 1 hook.

The “base” of the napkin is knitted according to an easy pattern using single crochet stitches and a VP between them.

It makes no sense to describe this process in detail.

But knitting butterflies is very similar to knitting flowers.

This pattern will have to be changed a little, otherwise the butterflies will turn out very large. Therefore, future butterflies will be knitted in single crochet stitches.

• Make a ring from 6VP.
• 1 row: 8 groups of 3C1H and 3VP between them.
• 2nd row: Turn the knitting and knit: in the arches of the previous row 2 times, 5C1H and 5VP between them.
• 3rd row: 1СБН between two groups of columns of the previous row.
• Tie the arches: 7С1Н, 2ВП, 7С1Н.
• 4 row: RLS.

The result will be a flower with uneven, curled petals. But by bending it in half, you will get a beautiful voluminous butterfly in flight.

Place the butterflies on a napkin, securing them with a thread and a needle, and enjoy the beauty and tenderness of your own creation.

Conventions in text descriptions

For the convenience of needlewomen, universal names for the main elements - loops and posts - have been adopted:

• The basic air loop forms the basis of lace accessories of any shape and size, denoted by the abbreviation VP;
• The second most important element is the semi-column, which is abbreviated as PS. Another name is a connecting column.
• Crocheting a napkin necessarily includes making single crochets (SC) and double crochets - C1H, C2H, C3H. The numbers decipher the number of yarn overs - there can be more than three. It all depends on the complexity of the technology.

The combination of the presented elements according to the instructions allows you to create various patterns. Typically, textual explanations are attached to graphical manuals and provide details of the process. They are easier to navigate if difficulties arise.

Conventions in knitting patterns

Experienced knitters determine the structure of the pattern based on the finished product and can repeat the design they like. Craftsmen who know how to draw well and have spatial imagination create new napkins with crochet patterns themselves,

The author's developments serve as a guide for less experienced followers. Magazine and online publications can be easily identified by graphical symbols. This is the universal language of the creators of lace accessories, understandable to needlewomen all over the world:

• Circle - air loop;
• “Em dash” – half-column;
• “Plus” – single crochet;
• “Cross stitch” with one or more transverse dashes – double crochets, where the number of “crossbars” indicates the number of double crochets.

The guides also present additional elements that enhance the expressiveness of the pattern and help create various effects:

How to read knitting instructions correctly

Without exception, all the manuals are standardized and figuring out how to crochet a napkin is not difficult:

• If the process proceeds in straight or reverse rows, the circuit is passed in rows from bottom to top. When making round products, start from the center.
• Odd rows are considered front rows and are read “in Arabic” - from right to left. Purl even ones as usual - from left to right.
• The repeating part of the pattern - rapport - is concluded between the “asterisks” (*...*). This symbol means that you need to repeat all the elements the specified number of times.

For the convenience of the master, the front and back rows can be marked in different colors or numbered. This makes it easier to navigate and not get lost, especially when knitting large items.

Two-color instructions are easier to read

It is important to know! “Round” instructions are “read” counterclockwise – they go sequentially from right to left.

Basic working techniques to make the process easier

How to crochet a napkin - the journey in the world of needlework begins with this pressing question. To avoid disappointment after the first experiments, you should take the advice of experienced craftsmen.

Preparatory stage

Before starting the process, stock up on tools and consumables. It is not recommended to choose thin threads for debut processes. Openwork lace will take a little time, but the first results will inspire you to improve your skills.

The best yarn to start with is mercerized cotton thread "Iris". They are quite elastic, smooth, pleasant to the touch. Available in a wide range of colors. Disadvantages include a tendency to curl.

As your skills improve, the yarn becomes more manageable and stops tangling. Acrylic and wool blend threads are also suitable for first experiments.

A detailed master class makes the first steps easier:

It is better to start your debut crocheting of napkins with a tool No. 1.5-2.5 with an ergonomic handle. When purchasing, it is better to compare several samples, evaluate which hook fits comfortably in your hand, and choose the appropriate length.

Step-by-step photo instructions

For the first experiments, choose a simple, intuitive pattern without complex double crochets. There will be fewer flaws in the finished work.

The optimal pattern for a successful debut

How to crochet a napkin for beginners:

1. Start from the center of the future product - cast on a standard chain of air loops. In this case - 12.
2. Loop the loops with a connecting semi-post.
3. Move to the next row - knit the required number of VPs according to the schematic guide and move on to other elements - the pattern is based on C1H.
4. Tie the ring completely - you should get 32 ​​C1H. The circle is connected to a chain of 3 VPs and completes the row.
5. The following elements are performed according to the diagram and follow the direction of movement counterclockwise.
6. The last row is performed using the picot technique, which can be found in the video tutorial:

Color variations

To diversify napkins, novice needlewomen can use a simple and effective technique when crocheting - knitting multi-colored items using the same patterns or combining two or more colors in one accessory.

The finished result

This solution allows you to create interesting accessories during the first experiments. A simple pattern looks more interesting, the product looks original and does not create a feeling of being secondary. You can safely decorate a table or window sill with it - place it under a flowerpot with indoor plants.

Trendy napkins for home and as a gift

The world of handicrafts has its own fashion and good omens. It is believed that accessories can have a positive effect on family wealth and the aura in the home. There are rituals associated with the beginning and end of the process. Crocheting napkins for beginners is no exception.

Money napkin

There is a belief associated with this decorative element. A coin placed in the center of the product has a positive effect on the family budget and promotes well-being in the home. The craftsmen begin work on the new moon. The future amulet is pulled at random from a bag into which the “candidates” are previously placed.

The coin must be odd, the denomination and country of origin do not matter. Knitting needs to be completed while the moon is growing. Napkin patterns from foreign magazines are suitable - the shape is important, it must be round. Pattern and size are of secondary importance. Such a talisman is kept in a place of honor to attract good luck to the house.

There are two ways to insert the amulet into the center of the accessory:

• At the beginning of the process. It is necessary to knit an amigurumi ring, the diameter of which corresponds to the central part of the napkin and coin. Further knitting will proceed strictly according to the instructions, and the pattern will not change.
• At the end of the process. In this case, a model with a closed center is chosen and at the final stage an additional element is knitted - a kind of repeat of the central part of the napkin. The part is sewn to the product, a small gap is left and a coin is placed in the pocket. Then the hole is sewn up.

A crochet money napkin - the diagram is presented below - differs in execution from the usual one. You can take almost any model as a basis. The central part is preliminarily assessed to determine whether the “core” is suitable for placing the coin.

Openwork products

Weightless lace accessories serve as decoration for a dining table, chest of drawers, or nightstand. Graceful, stylish and lace, fit into any interior style. This is a great gift and sign of attention. In such work, they invest more than skill - inspiration and a craving for beauty.

Beautiful crocheted napkins - patterns can be very different - look gentle and airy. Needlewomen have the opportunity to work with shapes and create not only round, but also oval and shaped products.

The basis of the plots are floral elements, which are generously trimmed with lace from air loops. Often, needlewomen choose abstract or ethnic motifs. Butterflies look beautiful and attractive.

Crochet openwork napkins according to the patterns are made similarly to simpler options. The knitting order does not differ from the standard one. It is necessary to ensure compliance with the manual - a minor error will have to redo the entire process. Therefore, before you start, you should evaluate your strength and skill.

The instructions for creating such masterpieces require careful study and attention to detail. They give enormous scope for creativity and implementation of ideas. In such work, various solutions are possible:

• multilayer “rosettes” for decoration – tightly starched, turning into a lace vase;
• floral compositions – a bright, unfading bouquet blooms on the table all year round;
• butterflies or swans - the lightness of some and the grace of others fascinate and delight.

Creating such products is a labor-intensive process. It takes skill, patience, and skill. Master classes give a general idea of ​​how to crochet tablecloths and napkins - diagrams and photos help you understand the general principle. For a high-quality implementation of an idea, it is best to turn to experienced needlewomen.

Masters work with ready-made magazine designs and create original compositions - this significantly expands the possibilities for creativity. Professional execution guarantees the absence of errors and flaws, accuracy and perfection. At the same time, you can learn a lot - invaluable knowledge and skills will be useful in the future when it comes time for your own master classes.

Crocheting is a good old tradition that is still supported by many craftswomen. The popularity and prevalence of such decor greatly simplifies the search for the desired pattern and description for it. However, there is also a downside to the situation: crocheted napkins have become so boring for knitters that they have become a kind of synonym for banality. The situation is saved by the development of fresh schemes and the search for new areas of application of familiar objects.

Types of napkins

Despite the fact that the first association with the word “napkin” invariably becomes an openwork circle, there are square, pentagonal and hexagonal, rectangular, diamond-shaped and many other shapes of napkins.

In modern designs, the large one can be relatively solid or openwork) most often remains round, but squares are also often found. It must be said that decorative elements with right angles are easier to place on flat surfaces.

The basic principle of knitting napkins

Knitting work on almost any napkin begins from the center and, gradually expanding the fabric, ends with the widest row. The only exceptions are products assembled from several separately related motifs.

Both small and large (the circuit can be of any shape) requires the presence of several main components:

Depending on the specifics of the pattern, the main fabric of the product may include some elements. For example, the technique of duplicating stripes of a pattern is often used. They are placed at different distances from the center, interspersed with very openwork or, conversely, solid areas. This distribution of the ornament allows you to effectively expand the canvas while maintaining the overall harmony of the product.

Knitting napkins

This small napkin is knitted as follows:

1. 3VP, *2VP, 1СН*, 2VP.
2. 3VP, 31СН.
3. *3VP, 1СБН*.
4. 3VP, 5VP, *2СН with a common top, 5VP*.
5. 3VP, *5VP, 1СН*.
6. 3VP, *2СН, 5ВП, 2СН, 1ВП*.
7. *4СН, 2ВП, 4СН, 1СБН*.
8. *15VP, 1СБН*.
9. *2Dc with a common top, 3Dc, 2Dc with a common base, 5VP, 2Dc with a common base, 3Dc, 2Dc with a common top*.
10. *2Dc with a common top, 6Dc, 5VP, 6Dc, 2Dc with a common top*.
11. *2Dc with a common top, 7Dc, 5VP, 7Dc, 2Dc with a common top*.

Dc - double crochet, sc - single crochet, VP - chain stitch.

The description from * to * must be repeated until the end of the row.

How to change napkin sizes

The technique of alternating stripes of patterns described in the previous paragraph can be extremely useful for craftswomen who want to change the size of the napkin. Individual elements can be repeated as many times as necessary or eliminated completely. An excellent example of how to crochet a napkin from several patterns is the product shown in the following photo.

There is a very wide strip connected by mesh. It is obvious that with its help the expansion of the canvas to the planned dimensions was achieved.

Circular crochet napkin patterns also allow you to combine different patterns. The height of skill can be considered the successful combination of several elements and the creation of your own unique napkin.

Large circuit and application

A large decorative element such as the one shown in the photo below has an extremely wide range of uses.

In fact, it's not even a napkin, but a real tablecloth. The size of such products depends significantly on the materials that the craftswoman chooses. The thicker the thread, the larger the napkin, but the pattern also looks rougher. Knitted from dense threads with tight twist, such a large crocheted napkin (the pattern is proposed below) becomes an interesting carpet, umbrella, blanket or bedspread.

If desired, you can complete only part of the circuit. By moving to the final binding immediately after the central part, you can get a napkin of a smaller diameter. The small motif without binding becomes convenient for use in pullovers, tops and bags. quite often placed on the yoke of a knitted dress or on its side.

For convenience, the napkin diagram is divided into two parts.

Central fragment.

And two stripes of patterns with binding.

Description: crochet napkins

Begin work by setting a chain of eight air loops. In the second row, perform 16 single crochets, and then continue knitting in accordance with the pattern.

The central part of the pattern contains the very popular “pineapple” elements. Here they are arranged in several rows and greatly decorate the napkin. “Pineapples” are good for expanding fabrics, which is why they are so often used in napkin patterns. The first section of the diagram ends with several rows of mesh, on which a simple pattern of “bushes” will then be placed. This geometric pattern is formed by systematically filling some grid cells with “bushes” of four double crochets. If you need to remove any element of the circuit, excluding this strip will be the most convenient.

The final part of a large napkin

The main decor of this large napkin is the wide border running along its edge. The peculiarity of the scheme is that several patterns are combined here:

• Simple triangles made of “bushes” against the background of chains of air loops.
• Double crochet zigzag stitch.
• Small "pineapples".
• Empty fillet mesh with cells of different sizes.

All these ornaments are arranged simply masterfully. The beginning of one pattern is performed simultaneously with knitting the previous one. Thus, the developers managed to organically incorporate such seemingly different ornaments.

The patterns of formation of circular patterns and the principles of making decorative fabrics described in this article will be useful to those who are looking for information on how to crochet a napkin. Of course, it’s calmer to follow a detailed plan, but only improvisation can give you the feeling of true free creativity.

Friends, I bring to your attention a selection of fabulously beautiful crocheted napkins, as well as patterns for them. In my opinion, crocheting napkins is truly the pinnacle of crocheting skills. This is beauty, subtlety of work, and all products are lightweight.

These airy snowflakes made of fabric are a kind of embodiment of flight and lightness. Napkins perfectly complement any interior and make it feel homey. And of course, this is an excellent basis - a motive for knitting large elements, such as a bedspread or, say, a tablecloth. In addition, sitting down and starting to knit a napkin is a great way to relax and get a charge of good mood.

An awesome crochet napkin - it captivated me with its elegance! The knitting pattern is below.

When crocheting napkins, the method of using motifs is very often used. Motifs are square, round, triangular. There are also more complex polyhedra, such as hexagonal ones, but they are rarely used.

In addition to all of the above, there is also a wide variety of napkin knitting techniques. For example, Irish lace. Or Bruges lace - a Belgian technique. Creativity in knitting napkins is like art. Only the master creates not with the help of paints and a brush, but with the help of yarn and a hook.

Okay, I'm babbling about something. Next, see a selection of samples of various napkins. They have one thing in common - they are crocheted. All photos are enlarged.

Crochet a tablecloth from napkins

These are the options. This is, of course, not all that could be shown. But be patient, we are in no hurry. Right?

How to starch a crocheted napkin

After reading many guides on starching napkins, I came to the conclusion that they are hopelessly outdated. In all of them it is proposed to cook a paste from starch, but why such difficulties? It is much easier and faster to soak a napkin in wallpaper glue, which consists of starch that does not cause yellowing. It applies quickly and is not visible after drying. Ideal, in my opinion.

Make the solution thinner and dip a napkin into it, give it time to dry, and now you have a beautiful copy in front of you, smooth, without creases or curls. Wallpaper glue easily soaks in water, so don’t be afraid of ruining the product.

Video master class - simple crochet round napkin

To conclude the collection, I want to show a simple and understandable master class from Anna Andrienko on crocheting a simple napkin for beginners. There is nothing complicated in the lesson, just what a beginner needs.

I hope you liked these patterns for crocheting beautiful napkins and will take something for yourself to work with! Well, that’s all I have for today... Happy crafting!

From time immemorial, the border has been considered the element of knitting that gives any product true tenderness and sophistication. It can be used to decorate any crocheted items - from clothing to kitchen accessories (napkins, tablecloths, towels, curtains and much more). Moreover, not only finished knitted items are tied with a decorative border. Openwork lace, knitted along the free edge of the fabric, can breathe new life into an old, long-forgotten item from a women's or children's wardrobe.
