Processing darts in lace

When making products using the Irish lace technique, you have to face the problem of maintaining darts. Without pretending to be an academically correct method, I’ll tell you how I do it.

they roughly coincided with each other. (see 2 leaves on the left)

Then we connect the dart on the reverse side with pins or basting with thread, whichever is more convenient.

Take an unnecessary skein of yarn or a folded rag.

Place it under the pattern at the location of the dart.

This way we get a relief surface that follows the contours of the chest.

It is in this form that we connect the motifs with an irregular grid.

We get invisible darts that follow the contours of the body. Next, you can pull out the embedded skeins of yarn, straighten the underlying fabric again and continue working.

Caterpillar-curl"
In Irish stacked lace, a “caterpillar” lace is often used. Sometimes the “caterpillar” replaces the branch on which the leaves or flower stem are attached. But it can be used as a separate decorative element, for example, in the form of a curl.

First, you need to knit the “caterpillar” lace itself and choose a thread color that matches the original one. If you knit with the same color, the curl will be “lost” and the part will look like a circle with a tail.

Tunic "Celtic Saga"

from Olga Krivenko

a holiday gift for everyone - a new tunic with Celtic patterns.

Yarn - Vista, Tenderness, Tulip, Camellia, linen and regular forty. Hook for motifs - 1.25, mesh - 0.6.

First we tie a very long cord - a “wide caterpillar”. (See the blog for how it fits).
We impose flowers, leaves, traditional motifs on the bourdon. And then we lay it all out in the intended pattern...

Thus we lay out the pattern of the front, back, and sleeves.

Then we sew together the joints of the motifs and fill the space with a mesh.

Then we also connect the side parts and sleeves using stitching and mesh.

We attach the sleeves to the finished part with a mesh.

We knit a lace and insert it into the loops.

And we get this “candy”...

We knit 2 air loops.

The next one will be a double crochet stitch.

Since the motif in this place turned out to be quite close, we immediately knit a double crochet, clinging to the fabric.

chains of different numbers of air loops, then columns with 1-2-3-4
yarn overs.

Having reached the end point, we cut off the working thread and hide the tip in the fabric.

If the distance to the next empty gap is small enough. you can do it differently

lesson-2) continuation

If
distance between empty spaces resulting from stitching
motifs, quite small, for example, 1 leaf or petal
flower, then the working thread can not be cut off, but continue knitting. So
Since the connection occurs from the wrong side, the thread will not be visible
from the face.

So, having reached the end point of the space filled by the grid, having done
last attachment to the canvas, we collect a chain of 3-4 air
loops

We hook the final loop to the fabric with a connecting loop, stretching the resulting chain to the required distance.

We proceed in a similar way at all small spaces between motives.

This way we get a beautiful lace fabric.

If the distance between the empty spaces resulting from stitching the motifs is small enough, for example, 1 leaf or flower petal, then the working thread can not be cut off, but knitting can be continued. Since the connection occurs from the wrong side, the thread will not be visible from the face.
So, having reached the end point of the space filled by the mesh, having made the last attachment to the canvas, we collect a chain of 3-4 air loops.

We hook the final loop to the fabric with a connecting loop, stretching the resulting chain to the required distance.

Next we dial again 3-4 air loops and also connect to the edge of the canvas.

If there is another small gap between the motifs, we again cast on a chain with a sufficient number of loops and hook it to the canvas.

We proceed in a similar way at all small spaces between motives.

Crochet: Irish lace. Knitting lessons and patterns

History of Irish lace

The invention of the method belongs to a certain Mademoiselle Riego de Blancardier, the daughter of a Franco-Spanish nobleman and an Irish woman. She came up with a way to make it that was reminiscent of the Venetian, but could be done with crochet, which greatly speeded up production. A piece of lace that required at least two hundred hours to make with a needle could be knitted in just 20 hours. In 1846, Riego de Blancardier published the first book of Irish crochet patterns.

New technology It spread very quickly, and soon whole families were busy making lace. This was also facilitated by the fact that the Irish lace technique is very convenient for mass production. Unlike regular crochet, Irish crochet consists of individual motifs (leaves, flowers, rosettes) that are crocheted separately and then connected using a net. This method made it possible to divide labor - each knitter specialized in individual motifs, in accordance with his abilities. Thus, each family member could contribute to the total income, so everyone knitted - men, women, children, old people.

The secrets of knitting were jealously guarded by every family, the work was hidden if neighbors unexpectedly entered the house - competition is competition!

Ready-made motifs were taken to lace centers in the nearest city, and there the most experienced and creatively gifted craftsmen assembled ready-made items from them - collars, cuffs, dresses and coats, and even beach umbrellas.

Information on making Irish crocheted lace

Tools

The tool for making Irish crocheted lace is a crochet hook. Since threads of different thicknesses are used to work with m, you must also have hooks different sizes.

Material

For some products, linen threads are used. Previously, flax was practically not used in the manufacture of Irish lace, since there was no thread available. good quality. For some time, Irish lace was woven with yellow-cream silk thread, but the use of silk has always been limited.

Knitting Irish lace requires threads of three thicknesses -

Thread of medium thickness for making the pattern itself,

Thick thread for the base of the pattern,

Thin thread for the grid.

Master classes

Master class on practical application of Romanian lace techniques

Romanian lace, in its technique, belongs to the coupling lace. It is performed as follows: the outline of the desired pattern is applied to the fabric, and the finished cord is laid out on top of it. Using a sewing needle, the spaces inside the outline are filled.

For work we need:

• thick eye embroidery needles;
• sewing needles;
• durable fabric;

• tied cord;
• threads are thinner than those used for the cord;
• the threads are thicker than those used for the cord.

The simplest pattern in the Romanian lace technique is a leaf. It is perfect for beginners.

We draw a sketch of the pattern on the fabric, and then lay out and baste the cord along the contour.

Sew the cord to make petals

Now fill them in as shown in the picture

The result will be such a beautiful flower

We make the middle according to the following photo

Carefully cut off the basting and detach the flower from the fabric. One of the motives is ready. Using the Romanian lace technique you can create more complex patterns. Motifs can be combined into a single product, for example, a tablecloth, clothing, accessory, or used as an independent work (decor, napkin, curtain cord, etc.).

Master class: Openwork napkin using Romanian lace technique

For work we need:

• thick cotton thread;
• matching hook;
• sewing needle;
• thick fabric;
• piece of polyethylene

First, select a design and then apply it to paper. We place the paper on a fabric folded in half and cover it with polyethylene. Please note that there should be no offsets between layers.

Let's start knitting the cord. We cast on 3 ch, then insert the hook into the second of them, and then into the first. There are 3 finished loops on the hook. We knit the first 2 loops together. There are 2 loops left on the hook. We knit them together, leaving 1 loop on the hook. Turn the product counterclockwise and repeat all the work described above. This way you need to tie a long cord. Place the finished product on the outline of the design and sew tightly. Next, embroider inside the outline, as shown in the pictures. When the work is finished, carefully cut the thread between the layers of fabric and remove the basting. The napkin using the Romanian lace technique is ready.

We start knitting a swimsuit from the bottom of the swimming trunks, following the contours of the pattern. Next, we move on to decorating the bust and the top of the swimming trunks. You need to crochet different motifs of Irish lace - flowers, leaves, rings, and then tie them with a crawfish step. Execution diagrams are given below.

We lay out the motifs on the pattern, after which we sew the contacting parts together with bobbin threads of the appropriate tone. We trim the swimsuit along the contour with a red caterpillar cord. Next we make the bodice. We lay out the motifs and sew together the touching parts. We decorate the center of the flowers with rhinestones. We tie the rings with 6 single crochets, and then sew them to the upper side corners of the swimming trunks and between the cups of the bodice.
