Unusual DIY knitted items. Knitting is unusual, but beautiful

The trends of recent years are knitted items in the interior of the home. You can knit a lot of things: blankets, covers for chairs and sofas, rugs, pillows. Crocheted items look especially impressive. Mastering the crochet technique is not difficult; as a result, you will complement the interior of your home with cozy things that can warm you up in the cold winter and lift your spirits in inclement autumn weather.

If you knit on a large scale, then knit furniture. The main thing is to choose the right yarn and hook. The larger they are, the more impressive and more prominent the pattern will be. You can knit square or round poufs for your home by tying a wooden or foam frame. You can also update chairs and armchairs by hiding them in a knitted cover.

Further more. A sofa in a new knitted “clothes” will fit perfectly into a country interior that allows a lot of knitted items in the room. If you are captivated by knitting, you can create unique knitted items for your interior with your own hands - for example, knit... a wall. Or part of a wall. Such unusual decor will take on vintage and rustic styles. Moreover, you can knit either with knitting needles or crochet, or... by hand. The Yubiami knitting technique without knitting needles is gaining more and more fans every year.

Let's warm ourselves!

Remember grandma's rugs and rugs? They were crocheted from old knitted items and were distinguished by their unique patterns and colors. All you need to master for knitting is single crochet, stock up on a large size crochet hook, and clean out your closets of old things. In a couple of evenings, even a novice needlewoman will create such a carpet. If you learn a couple more techniques, you can knit a carpet with an imitation of long pile. You can lay it in the nursery - little feet will be warm and soft.

Knitted blankets are on trend. They can be made either plain or striped, multi-colored. Using a very large crochet hook you can make soft, voluminous blankets that are nice to wrap yourself in on a rainy evening.

Plaids and bedspreads made from individual elements - square or hexagonal - look especially impressive. It will take several evenings to knit many squares, but the exclamations of friends: “Wow! Is it you yourself?” – you are guaranteed. The technique of knitting granny squares is simple. Yarn, a little perseverance - and a stylish blanket is ready. Multi-colored “African flower” motifs look even more interesting. Having mastered the technique, you can create unusual patterns using a selection of multi-colored yarn.

Unusual knitting

This article is for those who already knit for sale, but are dissatisfied with their earnings. You may be interested in unusual knitting techniques that can be used either independently or in combination with familiar ones.

Some of them came to us from ancient times, others appeared quite recently. Some you are probably already familiar with, others you have never heard of before.

Unusual knitting techniques for craftswomen of the 21st century

Let me make a reservation right away that this is just a brief description of different types of handicrafts by name, you can easily find training diagrams and videos on the Internet. Tools for them are also easy to buy through the World Wide Web, order from a craftsman, or even make them yourself. Here is the list itself:

Brioche.
Short rows.
On the fork.
Irish.
Freeform.
Nuking.
Tunisian.
Tunisian double-sided hooks.
Pooling
With a needle.

And now about each method in a little more detail.

Brioche(brioche stitch two color) - two-color double-sided knitting, suitable for creating a wide variety of products from clothes to blankets.

Short rows(extended rows, rotary knitting) - allows you to create stunningly beautiful and completely unusual things with knitting needles. Also suitable for everything from shawls and slippers to blankets and cardigans.

On the fork– for this, a hook and a fork are used – a wire arch in the shape of the letter “U”. The openwork stripes crocheted on it are removed and connected to each other. This technique is suitable for shawls, scarves, openwork blouses, blankets, as well as for decorating items knitted in other ways.

Irish knitting(Irish lace, stacked lace). Individual elements (motifs), usually plant ones, are crocheted, which are collected into one fabric and connected. A hook or needle is used for this. This is how shawls, blouses, summer dresses, swimsuits, and underwear are made.

Freeform(Freeform). It appeared in the twentieth century, thanks to Prudence Mapston, who showed the world that irregular knitting, without rules and patterns, can be incredibly beautiful. It, like the Irish one, is knitted from individual motifs and assembled into a single fabric. A variety of techniques, styles, thicknesses, as well as additional elements - rhinestones, beads, ribbons, etc. are welcome in one product. Suitable not only for clothes and blankets, but also for paintings, bags and various decorative items.

Nuking– products are knitted with a special needle with a hook at the end. The result is a dense elastic fabric that looks like it is knitted. This technique is convenient for knitting socks, mittens, toys and other small items.

Tunisian - an unusual way of crocheting a long length (at least 30 cm) with a limiter at the end so that the loops do not get lost during work. During work, the fabric is not turned - it is knitted first from right to left, then from left to right. A product of this knit holds its shape well, so it makes high-quality slippers, blankets, bags, and coats.

Tunisian double-sided hooks. For it, two double-sided hooks are taken, and each row is knitted with its own hook and, often, its own color. Both of these unusual crochet techniques are now in fashion, used either on their own or in combination with others when you need a piece that holds its shape well.

Pooling– knitting sectional yarn on knitting needles not with the usual spots, but with vertical stripes or other geometric patterns.

Needle (digging, nalbinding). Surely, knitting with a thick wooden or bone needle is the most ancient way to create a fabric from individual threads. This handicraft has been preserved in the Russian north and in the north of Western Europe. We call it digging, there is nalbinding. A couple of years ago, at the Moscow Museum of Archeology, I photographed a medieval item connected exactly like this:

And these are modern socks:

These are, of course, not all the ways of knitting with unusual techniques, there are many more of them, so this article will probably have a continuation. If you know knitting methods not mentioned in this article, write in the comments, I will add them to the next one.
