Knitting lace from the side seems incredibly difficult and painstaking work. Painstaking - perhaps, yes. But you can’t call this crochet tablecloth complicated. Take a closer look: it contains only the simplest elements. A few evenings of relaxing knitting instead of TV, and you can decorate the house with an elegant and delicate tablecloth.

What yarn to choose for a crochet tablecloth?

Cotton yarn will later starch the tablecloth so that it keeps its shape and falls off the table in large waves. It looks great, but natural fibers have one tangible drawback: stains from tea, coffee, berries will be very difficult to wash off.

A tablecloth made of viscose or synthetic yarn will fall in more frequent folds, will be silky to the touch, will have a sheen that natural threads lack. Stains do not eat into viscose yarn so much, it will retain its original appearance longer.

Getting ready for work

In order to crochet a tablecloth, you will need:

300 g of thin yarn (the magazine suggests using yarn with a thickness of 800 m in 100 g);

hook 0.5 cm thick (depending on the density of knitting, you can choose a more convenient hook).

Almost the entire crochet tablecloth pattern consists of simple air loops (ce), double crochets (st. with 1 n.) and double crochets (st. with 2 n.). The authors of the magazine carefully placed on the diagram the number of air loops and crochets in each element. This tablecloth is knitted in the round from the center. There are 106 rows in the tablecloth.

The finished tablecloth will have a diameter of approximately 120-130 cm.

Let's start knitting

1 row. According to the diagram, start crochet the tablecloth from the 12th in. etc., lock them in a ring.

2 row. Do 5 in. n. and perform a single crochet inside the ring, repeat 9 times. On the 10th time, to go to the 3rd row, perform only 3 in. p., and close the circle st. from 1 n.

3 row. Perform 2 lifts. n. and 2 tbsp. from 1 n. in the loop of the 2nd row, knit together. Then 7 c. p., 3 tbsp. from 1 n. knit together in the next stitch. To complete the row, work 2 in. n. and connecting art. from 2 n.

4 row. 3 lifting in. n. and 2 tbsp. from 1 n. in the loop of the previous row. 7th c. n. and 3 tbsp. from 1 n. in the loop of the 3rd row.

5 row. There are 4 lifting in this row. n. and 2 tbsp. from 1 n. in the middle column of the previous row. Then 3 c. p., single crochet in a loop from c. n. 4th row, pico from 3 c. p., 2 c. n. and again 4 tbsp. from 1 n.

6 row. 3 lifting in. p., 3 tbsp. from 1 n. knit together, 15 in. n. In the last element of the 12th c. n. and connecting art. from 1 n.

Next, knit the mesh with a step of 5 in. n., complete a series of st. from 1 n. and don't forget to insert double crochets where the pattern calls for it. If you can get started, then everything will work out. Crochet the tablecloth according to the scheme.

A knitted tablecloth is a luxury that not many can afford.

And if you know how to crochet, then you can transform your home, make it cozy and add a touch of personality to it.

True, not everyone who knows how to knit will be able to master this process, because the tablecloth, as a rule, is knitted from thin cotton threads, crochet No. 1-2, which means that this process is quite long and difficult.

But if you knit a luxurious tablecloth for your home, then I think both home and guests will appreciate your work.

And so that you have plenty to choose from, I have prepared several models of stunning knitted tablecloths with a description. These are large oval tablecloths, square motif tablecloths, and small napkin tablecloths.

Knit with pleasure and invite friends for tea.

Beautiful tablecloth with a border of flower rosettes

Friends, the time has come to announce a new long-running blog project “We create - we are not lazy!” for 2017. This year I intend to crochet the tablecloth, which I have already told you about and, it seems, even more than once.

The successful completion of last year’s event “I can’t help but brag about my masterpiece once again inspired me to the “crocheted tablecloth for the year” project. True, then I just found a beautiful square motif and the idea was born to knit a big thing. Now, on the contrary ... I do not have such a motive and I proceed simply from my desire to crochet a tablecloth. The fact that there is no initially liked motive is bad.

Since it was only necessary to get on the Internet in search of an interesting idea for knitting a tablecloth, my eyes literally “ran up”. How many different beautiful tablecloths are presented on the Internet!

.. mixed media… motifs and plain knits… And many, many, different variations...

What wonderful motives! Well, how can you choose something here?

In addition, there is another important question - to decide from which threads to knit a tablecloth ... Perhaps, it is with this question that I will begin my preparation for this event.

The first task is to decide on the yarn from which the tablecloth will be crocheted.

After monitoring the information on this issue, I made the following conclusions - tablecloths are usually knitted from fine cotton yarn:

• pure cotton
• Cotton with viscose

The choice of such yarn is quite justified. Since the product should be, according to its technical characteristics, rather thin and not heavy, and, in addition, it should “keep its shape” and it could be starched.

I would probably still opt for cotton with viscose, because. such a thread is much less likely to shrink after washing ...

I had a case with a knitted napkin ...

True, I knitted it a very long time ago from Soviet cotton threads, just designed for knitting napkins. So, after washing, the napkin decreased exactly twice. No, in appearance, the ode has not lost anything, on the contrary, it has won ... the holes between the columns have decreased, the columns themselves have become smoother ... but here's the fact)))

What I want to tell you, my dear friends...

If you decide to knit from cotton, then, without fail, first knit a control sample of the motif and test it - wash it the way you intend to wash your future tablecloth in the future ... dry it, parparte (if necessary), and only then make calculations. However, this procedure must always be carried out, regardless of the chosen yarn and product - you need to know how the thread will behave in the product during operation.

Also, why do I tend to choose cotton with viscose - in my opinion, again, such a thread is stronger, but I could be wrong about this ...

In short, what I'm talking about here - I don’t understand - I don’t have either one or the other strings at the moment.

But there is cotton ... not very thin ... in an amount of about 500 grams ...
Should be enough, because the table on which the tablecloth is supposed to be crocheted is not large and I do not plan to knit a large tablecloth. In general, I will sculpt from "what was"

Or maybe I'll wait for the salary ... I don't know yet)))

Task number two is to decide on the choice of motif for the tablecloth

The task, I tell you, is not easy. Firstly, because before deciding on the choice of motive, you need to decide on the yarn ... Since the appearance of a particular knitted pattern directly depends on the threads from which it is connected.

Secondly, as I said, there are a lot of interesting patterns and motifs for crocheting in the world, and the vast majority of them may well be suitable for knitting a tablecloth.

But so far, based on the yarn that is available, I have knitted three square motifs of different sizes.

I like this motive most of all, but, unfortunately, it doesn’t fit my threads at all (or the threads don’t fit the motive) it’s thick and rough for a tablecloth ... but for an openwork bedspread - that’s it ...

1. with a flower

This motive may well get along with the yarn from which it is crocheted ... So it is quite possible that it is from such motives that my tablecloth will be crocheted

The motive in itself is not bad ... it fits in simply and quickly. But! Because of its small size, a tablecloth will need hundreds and a half, or even two such motifs.

In general, there is nothing wrong with this, on the one hand ... But on the other ...

Can you imagine how much ponytails will need to be hidden from motifs at the end of knitting? No, it's not for me…

In order to knit large products with such motives, you need to master continuous crochet ... By the way, this is also in the plans for this year))) because next year I'm aiming for curtains ...

In short, with a motive, I seem to have decided ... this is motive number two.

I will tell you how to knit it, as well as how to knit a large openwork square motif and a small motif in the near future. By the way, if you are interested in the models of knitted tablecloths presented in the article, then you can find diagrams for them in our group in Contact or in Odnoklassniki.

I appeal to everyone!

Friends, join the "Crochet Tablecloth for the Year" project, knitting together is more fun and more productive. For example, the bedspread, which I so intensely show off, is not the only finished product of last year's project. There is one more
The author of this beauty is Zhenechka Shkrylyova.

This year, Zhenya is also knitting a tablecloth with me. Read about her choice in the article, " What tablecloth to knit?»

This is where I end and say goodbye to you for a short time (until the next article))) I’ll just say a few more words ... I will post all my achievements in crocheting tablecloths in the comments to this article throughout the duration of the event and once again I invite you to take part and knit crochet tablecloth.

It should be determined exactly where it will be located. The size of the future product, its shape and color scheme depend on this. Having decided on this issue, you need to select the necessary materials for work.
Traditional tablecloths are knitted with white cotton threads, but this rule is not required. So, a colored heavy tablecloth, matched to the tone, will decorate a massive table. And a small tablecloth, knitted from bright colored threads, will enliven a small coffee or bedside table.

Having determined the size of the future product, it is necessary to calculate the approximate thread consumption. So, for a large tablecloth, you may need about a kilogram of yarn. Thread consumption also depends on the size of the hook. When choosing a tool for work, remember that a tightly knitted tablecloth holds its shape better, and with looser knitting, the product will turn out to be less strict and more elastic.

Knitting a round tablecloth

Knitting a round tablecloth starts from the center and continues in a circle until the end of work. When creating a round tablecloth, be careful that the circle remains the correct shape, without deformation. A round tablecloth should neither take on the shape of a cone, nor "fake", i.e. go in waves. Carefully follow the pattern and, if necessary, adjust the knitting immediately.

Knitting a square or rectangular tablecloth

A square tablecloth can be knitted both from the center and from the edge, depending on the pattern you have chosen. Rectangular tablecloth is knitted from the edge. The technique for making a square tablecloth is similar to knitting a round one: the rows go round from the center. Knitting ends with tying the edge of the product.

When choosing a border pattern for a square or rectangular tablecloth, keep in mind that it must contain a description of the corner binding so that the knitting is continuous.

Knitting a tablecloth from fragments

Tablecloths connected from separate elements interconnected look spectacular. The advantage of this method is that you can control the size and shape of the knitted canvas as you complete and attach motifs. The downside is that it will be much more difficult to dissolve such work, and the resulting threads will be problematic to use for knitting another product.

Knitting from elements is always the freedom of creativity. You can independently choose the shape of motifs, their size, the way they are connected to each other. Connecting elements is easiest in the process of creating them - this will help to avoid unnecessary work, and the product will look neater.

You can also use the technique of continuous knitting - in this case, the tablecloth will be tied in a single fabric, and you will be able to avoid the disadvantages described above.

A tablecloth often defines the style of a home interior. Ready-made store products can not always make it elegant and cozy. But a do-it-yourself crocheted openwork tablecloth will surely decorate your home. For beginner knitters, it is better to choose simple patterns from motives.

In this case, the work will go faster, and it’s not scary to make a mistake. After all, correcting a mistake on a fragment is much easier than bandaging the entire tablecloth. This article will help you to knit a beautiful tablecloth with a selection of different options with diagrams and descriptions.
