Friends, I bring to your attention a selection of fabulously beautiful crocheted napkins, as well as patterns for them. In my opinion, knitting napkins is truly the height of crochet craftsmanship. This is beauty, subtlety of work, while all products are light.

As part of this publication, I collect in my piggy bank interesting, as it seemed to me, ideas for napkins knitted by needlewomen from all over the world.

Fabulously beautiful winter patterns can be brought to life with the help of threads.

These airy fabric snowflakes are a kind of embodiment of flight and lightness. Napkins perfectly complement any interior, make it so homely.

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 in a good mood.

Oddly enough, this is both a training ground for beginners and a pedestal for professionals. You can both learn to knit and create masterpieces. For example, for beginners, small napkins are perfect for creating their first product. Well, the fact that it is interesting to knit them allows you to captivate a novice needlewoman.

The knitting technique is also honed from the fact that almost the entire arsenal of all kinds of loops is used in napkins. These are half-columns, and air loops, and double crochets, and many others. This gives a good skill, and it teaches you to understand the schemes.

I also want to draw attention to the fact that these products also have a different shape. Here you can mention the classic round napkins that are knitted in a circle.

Awesome crochet doily - I was subdued by its grace! Knitting pattern below.

Such a napkin can be laid on the table or put a vase of flowers on it.

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 knitting techniques for napkins. For example, Irish lace. Or Bruges lace - Belgian technique. Creativity in knitting napkins is like art. Only the master creates not with the help of paints and brushes, but with the help of yarn and a hook.

Okay, I'm on to something. See below for a selection of samples of various napkins. They have one thing in common - they are crocheted. All photos are enlarged. Just click on the image with your mouse. Good luck with your knitting! And come back often. I always have something interesting for you.

Crochet a tablecloth from napkins

A beautiful square crocheted napkin from motifs can turn into a fairly large tablecloth for the table. The advantage of squares is that they can be combined and end up with a large canvas.

Here are the options. This, of course, is far from all that could be shown. But be patient, we're not in a hurry. So right?

Easy crochet doilies for beginners

How to starch a crochet doily

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

Bring the solution thinner and dip a napkin into it, give it time to dry, and now you have a wonderful specimen in front of you, even, without jams and twists. Wallpaper glue is easily soaked in water, so do not be afraid to ruin the product.

Video master class - a simple round crochet doily

At the end of the selection, I want to show a simple and understandable master class from Anna Andrienko on knitting a simple crochet napkin for beginners. There is nothing complicated in the lesson, just what a beginner needs.

I hope you liked these crochet patterns for beautiful crochet napkins and you will take something for yourself to work with! Well, that's all for today... Enjoy your needlework!

From time immemorial, the border has been considered the knitting element that gives any product true tenderness and sophistication. With its help, any crocheted items are decorated - from garments to kitchen accessories (napkins, tablecloths, towels, curtains and much more). Moreover, not only finished knitted products 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 thing from a women's or children's wardrobe.

Napkin "Easter motif"

A napkin, which will look great both as a decoration during the spring holidays and playfully decorate a nursery, will be 23 * 20 cm, and with a strapping - 26 * 23 cm. This crochet design is called fillet knitting.

Preparation for knitting napkins:

Yarn - 36 g of yellow yarn Pekhorka Gentle (50 g - 150m, 50% acrylic - 50% cotton);

Hook — №2;

Needle - blunt.

Knitting pattern and description of work on a crochet napkin:

In total, we have 23 cells according to the scheme. In order to calculate the required number of VPs for the first chain, you need to multiply 23 by 3 and then add 3 more VPs for the turn chain. Total 72 loops. And remember that a filled cell is 2 CCHs inside the cell, and an empty one is 2 VPs. Even rows are read from left to right, and odd rows are read from right to left.

1 row: We start knitting with a 4VP chain, since the first cell is filled with us. If the cell needed to be empty, then it would be necessary to add 2 more VPs and knit in the 8th VP. We knit dc in each loop of the chain to the end of the row. As a result, you should get 70 CCHs, taking into account 3 lifting loops, replacing the first CCH (photos 1 and 2).

2 row: We start with 3 lifting VPs, then 2 CCHs (this is a filled cell) and 1 more CCH, then 2 VPs, skip two at the base and into the third - 1 CCH, and again 2 VPs, into the third CCH and so on until the last cell according to the scheme , which must be filled, i.e. at the end of the row you should have 4 dc. The row ends with CCH in the 3rd lifting air loop. In total, in a row you should get 23 cells, two of which should be filled at the edges, as in the photo below (photo 3,4,5).

3 row: this is where the drawing starts. We focus on the knitting pattern. This odd row is read according to the scheme from right to left. 1 cell - filled, then 8 empty cells, 5 filled (should get 16 CCH), 8 empty, 1 filled. The filled cells are knitted under an arch of air loops (photo 6).

4 row: 1 cell - filled (4 CCH), 6 - empty, 2 - filled (7 CCH), 5 - empty, 2 - filled (7 CCH), 6 - empty, 1 - filled (4 CCH). The row is read from left to right. If the gaps in the filled cells are too large, this means that the loops are too loose and you need to change the hook to a smaller size so that the knitting becomes tighter (photo 7).

18 row: 1 cell - filled (4 CCH), 1 - empty, 1 - filled (4 CCH), 2 - empty, 4 filled (13 CCH), 2 - empty, 2 - filled (7 CCH), 1 - empty, 4 - filled (13 CCH), 2 - empty, 1 - filled (4 CCH), 1 - empty, 1 - filled (4 CCH). The row is read from left to right. In order to easily check if you missed the CCH in a row, count the number of filled cells in a row, then multiply by 3 and add 1. For example, you have 10 filled cells in a row, which means that you need to knit: 10 cells * 3 CCH + 1CCH = 34 CCH. Accordingly, 10 filled cells are equal to the 34th CCH (photo 8).

29 row: These are only empty cells, except for the first and last, which are the frame of our knitted chicken.

30 row: The whole consists of their SSN. There should be 70 of them (photo 9).

Crochet napkin tying pattern and description:

We turn the work to face ourselves and immediately knit 1 CCH in the 4th loop from the beginning, without adding lifting loops.

Having knitted the first CCH, we make a picot of 3 air loops, fasten it with a connecting column to the first air loop.

Now we also fasten in the fourth loop with a connecting column. And again in the 4th loop we knit 6 CCH with pico.

On the side, the fasteners and the decoration itself are attached every 2 rows to the side loop.

We tighten the loop and hide the thread with a needle with a blunt end in knitting. Next, wash, iron and steam. After washing, all the loops will settle down, and finally align after ironing.

Japanese

Crocheting Japanese-style doilies is not suitable for beginner knitters, because an important part of the work lies in the intricacies of lines, loops and rings, woven into a special pattern that turns into an outstanding floral motif. A Japanese crochet doily is an aerobatics of knitting that allows you to make very unusual doilies, interesting and original.

Napkin "Cherry Orchard"

This napkin is made up of several separate motifs.

Preparation for knitting napkins:

Yarn - Iris white and pink;

Hook — №1;

Abbreviations for the scheme:

VP - air loop

PS - half-column (connecting column)

RLS - single crochet

C1H - a column with one crochet

C2H - a column with two crochets

C3H - a column with three crochets

Description of work on a crochet doily with photos:

We start knitting a motif with white yarn. We close the chain of 14 VPs into a ring with a half-column.

1 row: 3VP and 27 С1Н in a ringlet (photo 1).

2 row: 4VP, * S1N, 1VP *, S1N - a total of 13 columns, knitted under each loop of the 1st row.
At the end of the row, we collect 3CH and pull out a long loop so that the knitting does not bloom (photo 2).

Now we take pink yarn. We collect 14 VP, we enter the resulting chain under a white ring, we close it in a ring with a half-column and we knit 2 rows in the same way as with white yarn (photo 3).

3 row: over each VP of the last row of the white ring we knit C1H, and between them - 1VP, pico from 3VP, 1VP. At the end of the row, we pull out a long loop and leave knitting (photo 5).

We return to the white ringlet, connect it with the pink one and knit the 3rd row in the same way.

The last loop of the white ring is connected to pink, and pink to white.

We cut off the excess threads and carefully hide it from the wrong side, stretching it with a hook through the loops between the rows. The result was 25 motifs sewn together with a needle and thread (photo 6).

Scheme and description of work on a crochet napkin with photos:

In this diagram of a Japanese napkin, the even and odd rows are colored in different colors. Despite the fact that there are only 12 rows in the napkin, including the final row of tying with single crochets, the size of the finished product is 33 cm.

1 row: Around the amigurumi ring - ch 1 and 11 st. single crochet; close the row with a connecting loop (photo 1).

2 row: Ch 16, double crochet in ch 4 the beginning of this series; 4 double crochet, knitted together with the previous 2 double crochet; * Ch 7, double crochet in the center of the previous double crochet, double crochet 4 worked together with double crochet * - repeat from * to * to the end of the row, ch 7, double crochet 2 yarn over in the center of the previous column with 4 yarn over, close the row with a connecting column in the 9th loop of the beginning of this row (photo 2).

3 row: Ch 10, ch 4, ch 9, ch 5 in ch 4 the beginning of this row (photo 1). Then make 2 double crochets with 3 double crochets in the center of the previous double crochet with 5 double crochets (Pic 2 and 3).

Ch 9, 2 stitches with 4 double crochets, knitted together in the 4th ch. the beginning of this row (photo 1). We knit 7 vp, * 7 tbsp. with 4 crochets, knitted together (photo 2 and 3).

7 vp, 1 tbsp. with 6 crochets and 1 tbsp. with 4 crochets in the third crochet of the previous column, knitted together.

9 vp, 1 tbsp. with 5 crochets, knitted in the third crochet of a column with 6 crochets (photo 1). We knit 2 columns with 3 crochets, knitted in the center of the previous column with 5 crochets (photo 2 and 3).

9 vp, 2 tbsp. with 4 crochets, knitted together, in the third crochet of the same column with 6 crochets (photo 1). Then we do 7 ch * - repeat from * to * to the end of the row; then - 7 v.p. and close the row with a blind loop in 10 ch. the beginning of this row (photo 2).

4 row: Go half-columns to the top of the flower. 5 vp, * 2 tbsp. with 3 crochets, knitted together, ch 8, 1 tbsp. with 4 double crochets, of which knit only 3 and make 2 more stitches with 3 crochets at the same point, knit them together, and only then knit the last crochet of the column with 4 crochets *.

From * to * is a petal. Ch 5, petal, Ch 5, petal, Ch 5, petal. Next, tie 7 ch. (photo 1). The next maneuver is a tower structure designed to pull together 4 arcs from the air loops of the previous row. We knit like this. 1 st. with 3 crochets, of which we knit only two (photo 2).

Around the next arc - a column with 2 crochets (we do not close the column). Repeat around the next two arcs columns with 2 crochets (photo 1). Knit all 4 columns together and knit the primary column with 3 crochets (photo 2).

* 7 ch, 5 petals separated by 5 ch; Ch 7, “pulling tower” * - repeat until the end of the row. Close the row like this: ch 5, 1 tbsp. with 1 yarn over in the 5th air loop of the beginning of this row (photo). Then knit the 5th row. Ch 3, double crochet to the next arc from ch.

9 vp, * column with 2 crochets, of which we knit only one; double crochet around the next arc, knitted together with the first column; we knit the remaining crochet of the column with 2 crochets *. From * to * - let there be a construction with the conditional name "Eiffel Tower".

Then we knit: * ch 6, eiffel tower * - repeat three times from * to *. Next - ch 7, "pulling tower" - ch 7, eiffel tower, * ch 6, eiffel tower * - repeat from * to * 4 more times. And then again ch 7, pulling tower, etc. to the end of the row. Close the row with a blind loop according to the scheme.

6 row: 6 vp, 2 tbsp. with 3 crochets, knitted together; 7 vp, 3 tbsp. with 3 crochets in the same eiffel tower of the previous row + 3 tbsp. with 3 crochets in the next eiffel tower of the previous row, knitted together; 7 vp, 3 tbsp. with 3 crochets, knitted together, in the same eiffel tower of the previous row, ch 7 and again 3 tbsp. with 3 crochets + 3 tbsp. with 3 crochets in the next eiffel tower, knitted together. The last arc from ce fit like this: 5 ch. and 1 tbsp. with 1 crochet.

In total, it turns out in each eiffel tower of the previous row - 3 petals from 3 tbsp. with 3 crochets, knitted together and separated by 7 ch, while at the junction of three-petal bushes, the columns of two adjacent petals are knitted together (photo 1).

7 row: 3 vp, 1 tbsp. with 1 yarn over around the next arc of the previous row, ch 10, “eiffel tower”, ch 7 - continue alternating 7 ch. and eiffel towers to the end of the row. Close the row with a blind loop. Go to the top of the arc from ch. 4 tbsp. single crochet (photo 2).

8 row: Ch 7, single crochet around the next arc, ch 7, 1 tbsp. single crochet around the next arc (photo 1). Next - 7 vp, 1 tbsp. with 5 crochets in the eiffel tower (photo 2.3).

6 vp, 1 tbsp. with 5 crochets in the center of the column with 5 crochets. 2 tbsp. with 3 crochets in the center of the last column with 5 crochets, ch 6 (photo 1). 2 tbsp. with 3 crochets, knitted together, in the center of the first column with 5 crochets of this complex design (photo 2).

Repeat all the steps in the description of this row to the end of the row. Close the row with a blind loop, go to 4 tbsp. without a crochet to the top of the arc.

9 row: 3 vp, 5 tbsp. with 2 crochets, knitted together, ch 3, single crochet around the arc. 5 vp, eiffel tower (photo 1). 5 v.p. and proceed to knitting a petal: a column with 4 crochets, of which we knit only three, then - 2 tbsp. with 3 crochets, knitted together with the first; knit a column with 4 crochets - the petal is ready. We knit five such petals, while dividing them among themselves 5 ch. After all the petals - ch 5, eiffel tower, ch 5, single crochet and repeat all actions from the beginning of this row to the end of the row. Close a row of deaf loops. Go to the top of the element filled with 5 tbsp. with 2 crochets knitted together, single crochets (photo 2.3).

Repeat from the beginning of the description to the end of the row, but instead of the last 5 ch. - 2 v.p. + 1 tbsp. with 1 crochet.

11 row: This row is complicated mainly by the rise from the tenth row, and if you master it (the rise), consider that the Japanese napkin is in your pocket. 3 vp, 1 tbsp. with 1 crochet around the next arc. Next: Ch 4, unfold the napkin. Now we knit in the other direction: 1 tbsp. with 3 crochets around the next arc, of which we knit only the first, then 1 tbsp. with 1 crochet around the next arc, knit together, finish with a column with 3 crochets. We unfold the napkin in its usual state and knit again counterclockwise. 1 st. with 3 crochets, of which we knit only one, 1 tbsp. with 1 crochet around the next arc, knit together, finish with a column with 3 crochets. It turns out the Eiffel Tower, only the top of it is no longer one, but two crochets. We tie all the arcs of the flower with such grown eiffel towers, separated by five vp (photo 1).

Then we move on to the junction of flowers. To do this, we knit (according to the scheme): 4 ch, 1 column with 4 crochets, of which we knit only one, then a column with 1 crochet around the next arc, we knit together with the previous column and then we knit two more crochets from the column with 4 nakida. Next, a column with 3 crochets around the next arc, of which we knit only one crochet. 1 yarn over around the next arc, work the stitches together, knit the remaining two yarn overs. We continue to knit another eiffel tower around the next two arcs of air loops (photo 2).

We knit three eiffel towers together, knit the last crochet of the primary column with 4 crochets (photo 1.2). Again ch 4 and tie the flower with eiffel towers. We finish the row with a blind loop (photo 3).

12 row: We tie a row with double crochets. We start the series like this: 4 tbsp. single crochet around the arc; 4 tbsp. single crochet around the next arc, ch 4 pico (4 ch + blind loop in the first ch of this pico), 4 tbsp. single crochet around the same arc. Thus, we tie all the arcs, with the exception of the junction of flowers: here we knit 4 tbsp for each arc. single crochet and do not make pico (photo 1). Crocheted Japanese doily is ready. We moisten, straighten, attach with pins (while the napkin itself lies face down!), iron with steam and leave to dry in a straightened form (photo 2).

Video lesson - knitting for beginners

It is always more difficult for beginners in crocheting to navigate difficult patterns and descriptions of actions the first time, especially in such a difficult task as knitting napkins. But you can take the help of professionals on the Internet in this matter. How much faster to crochet the first napkin will help videos of professional knitters.

Video tutorial for beginners “how to crochet a doily”:

Crocheted napkins have long ceased to be an attribute from a grandmother's chest and are actively used in interior design, for example, in the Provencal style that is popular these days. Even a beginner needlewoman can master knitting napkins, since a variety of techniques allows you to choose the work that you can do. Knowing just a few simple knitting techniques, you can create an original decoration with your own hands. Those who have long mastered crocheting can make fabulously beautiful napkins more difficult using patterns or descriptions from numerous magazines.

The most common forms of knitted napkins

Crocheted doilies come in different forms:

• round;
• oval;
• radiant;

• square;
• rectangular;
• diamond-shaped.

The knitting method depends on the shape of the future napkin.

Round napkin

We start knitting from the middle. We connect the air loops in a chain. In each next row, you need to make uniform increases, forming a pattern of circular rows.

Oval napkin

We start knitting from the central chain of air loops. All the following rows are knitted around this chain on both sides. Knitting takes place in circular rows, but the increase should be done only on the rounded sides on both sides.

Radiant napkin

As with knitting a round napkin, we start from the middle. We connect the air loops in a chain. We expand the canvas in circular rows, making increases in the same place.

The principle of knitting round, oval and beam-shaped napkins is not much different. You can often see how needlewomen knit napkins of different shapes from the same pattern, making this a variety of sets.

square napkin

A square napkin should be knitted, like a radial one, starting from the middle. To expand the circular rows, increases are made in four places, which will become the corners of the square.

Rectangular napkin

Knitting of rectangular napkins combines the techniques of square and oval.

We knit the central chain of air loops. All the following rows are knitted around it on both sides. Increases must be done on four sides (at the corners of the rectangle). But if in a square napkin the additions were made at the same distance, then in a rectangular napkin they add at the beginning and end of the central chain, thus forming two corners on each side.

Diamond napkin

A diamond-shaped napkin should start from a chain of air loops. Further expansion of the canvas occurs according to the example of a round or radial shape. After knitting several rows, decrease from two opposite sides of the napkin, continuing to knit the other two sides.

Sometimes, to give the napkin the necessary shape, it is not knitted in a circle, but starting from one side, such as napkins made with fillet crochet. In this way, you can achieve not only a square or rectangular shape, but also any other.

You can crochet a doily using a detailed description or diagram. The schemes are image of the future product, made with special icons. Symbols are attached to each scheme.

1. Start reading the pattern, as well as knitting, need from the middle- from the central chain. Sometimes the number of air loops in it can be counted, or it is indicated by a number.
2. The beginning of each row is indicated by a number - this row number. After the figure, be sure to lift the loop.
3. Sometimes the diagram shows arrow direction knitting.
4. If the icons are interconnected at the bottom, knit them need from one point(air loop, column or arch of the bottom row).
5. The icons connected to each other in the diagram at the top suggest that they have must have a common top.
6. In each next row there should be more loops than in the previous one.

It is easier for beginner needlewomen to use a verbal description of the pattern.

Crochet patterns for napkins in various techniques

Crochet is distinguished by a variety of techniques and ways of making a fabric. Some of them are very simple and accessible even to beginners, as they use the simplest tricks: single crochets, double crochets and air loops. Others are "aerobatics" in crochet, but with detailed patterns or descriptions, they can also be mastered.

For knitting napkins, the following techniques are used:

• fillet knitting;
• openwork knitting;
• Irish lace;

• modular knitting using motives;
• Bruges lace;
• Romanian (cord) lace.

Simple crochet patterns for napkins

Professionally written descriptions of patterns use generally accepted universal abbreviations for brevity.

Dial 12 air loops (ch) and connect them in a circle.

• 1 row: Run 3 lifting loops (instead of the first double crochet), then knit 31 single crochet under the ring (st. s / n) finish with a connecting loop in the third ch. lift.
• 2 row: Run 3 lifting loops then 3 tbsp. s / n one in each st. s / n of the lower row; 3 vp, * 4st. s / n in the next columns of the lower row, ch 3 ** repeat the rapport * - ** 6 more times, finish with a connecting loop in the third lifting loop.
• 3 row: Run 3 lifting loops then 5 tbsp. s / n (the first in the lifting loops of the lower row, one in each st. s / n of the lower row and one in the ch of the lower row); 4 vp, * 6 art. s / n in the last ch, the next columns of the bottom row and the first ch, ch 4 ** repeat the rapport 6 times, finish with a connecting loop.
• 4 row: Run 3 lifting loops then 7 tbsp. s / n (the first in the lifting loops of the lower row, one in each st. s / n of the lower row and one in the ch of the lower row); 5 vp, * 8 art. s / n in the last ch, the next columns of the bottom row and the first ch, ch 5 ** repeat the rapport 6 more times, finish with a connecting loop.
• 5 row: Run 3 lifting loops then 9 tbsp. s / n (the first in the lifting loops of the lower row, one in each st. s / n of the lower row and one in the ch of the lower row); 10 ch, * 10 st. s / n in the last ch, the next columns of the bottom row and the first ch, ch 10 ** repeat the rapport 6 more times, finish with a connecting loop.
• 6 row: Run 3 lifting loops then 3 tbsp. s / n, one in each st. s / n of the lower row 10 ch, skip 2 st. s / n of the lower row, 4 st. s / n in the next 4 columns of the lower row; 11 v.p., * 4 art. s / n, 10 ch, 4 st. s / n, 11 ch ** repeat the rapport 6 more times, finish with a connecting loop.
• 7 row:* 5 v.p., 15 st.s / n under the arch from the v.p. bottom row, ch 5, half-column in the sixth ch the next arch from the vp ** Repeat the rapport 7 more times. Finish with a connecting loop.
• 8 row:* 6 vp, 1 tbsp. s / n, pico repeat 8 times (in each odd column of the bottom row), ch 6, half-column to half-column of the bottom row **. Repeat rapport 7 more times. Finish with a connecting loop.
