Absolutely all napkins can be used for crafts. Their difference from stationery or craft paper is their delicate structure, pliability and airiness. They clump easily. The process of creativity with such raw materials is relaxing and calming. Mastering the process is not difficult at any age.

Crafts made from paper napkins are very diverse, but in order to achieve the desired result and acquire the appropriate skills, you should start with simpler tasks, gradually moving on to intricate themes. The following classes are distinguished:

• Economy - the most affordable, consisting of 1 layer, size 24x24 cm.

Simple napkin patterns for beginners

So, we have everything prepared. Now it remains to decide on the scheme. We denote rapport by *…*, as is customary in the descriptions. For all napkins we will need mercerized cotton and a No. 2 hook.

"Snowflake"

We cast on 8 air loops (VP), close the circle with a connecting loop (SP).

1st row: 5 ch, *1 double crochet (dc), 2 ch*, sp in the third stitch (in the pattern, the connecting stitch will always be tied into the third chain stitch, otherwise the rows will go astray).

2nd row: starting from it, each time we first make 3 VP lifting, then follow the pattern, 2 more VP, * 3 VP, 3 SN in 1 SN of the previous row (prev. row) *, SP.

3rd: 2 dc in the previous column. r., *4 VP, 5 CH (2 CH in the extreme CH and 1 CH in the middle)*, SP.

4th: 6 dc (2 dc in each dc in the outer dc of the front row and 1 dc in the middle), * 4 ch, 7 dc (we work as in the third row - adding 1 dc in each free dc middle)*, SP.

5th: 8 dc (same as row 4), * 5 ch, 9 dc (same as row 4) *, sp.

6th: 10 dc, *6 ch, 11 dc*, sp in the third ch and make another sp.

7th: 8 CH (leave one column of the previous row free), * 8 VP, 9 CH * (keep one column free on both sides), as a result, a rhombus should be formed, SP in the third VP + 1 SP.

8th: 6 dc, *13 ch, 7 dc*, sp in third ch + 1 sp.

9th: 4 dc, *6 ch, (1 sc, 6 ch, 1 sc) – in the middle of the arch, 6 ch, 5 dc*, sp in the third ch + 1 sp.

10th: 2 CH, *6 VP, in the arch 6 CH, 6 VP, 3 CH*, SP in the third VP + 1 SP.

11th: 1 dc, [7 ch, in each of the four middle scs before. R. we knit - *2 dc with a common vertex (A), connecting them 3 ch* 4 times, 7 ch, 2 dc], sp into the third ch.

12th: don’t forget about the rise, do 4 VP, picot, [3 VP, into arches from VP before. R. do *2 dc with A, 2 ch, picot, 2 ch, 2 dc with A* 3 times, 3 ch, picot, 4 ch, 1 dc], sp in the third ch.

In the description of the last rows in [...] a large rapport is taken, and in *...* - a small one located inside it.

ATTENTION! The picot is knitted like this: 4 ch and 1 sc in the first ch. This is a popular way to decorate a harness, so we remember and use it.

"Pineapples"

The motif is so popular that it needs to be studied immediately. It is used to create openwork on dresses, skirts and blouses. It is used to make balloon shawls and scarves. The scheme is complicated only at first glance.

IMPORTANT! Each row begins with three chain stitches and ends with a connecting stitch.

We start with six air loops connected into a ring with a connecting post. Then we knit three chain stitches for lifting and 19 double crochets.

The base is ready, let's go through the rows. For convenience, they are numbered. It is better to knit stitches into an arch in the middle, not in a loop. This way you won't get any extra holes.

For table setting

Napkins mainly serve for hygienic purposes during meals. However, you can not just place them in a glass, but, with skill, set the table attractively. The most famous ideas for crafts made from napkins:

1. In the shape of an accordion - to obtain the desired shape when assembling.
2. Packaging for cutlery - rolls into a triangle to form a small bag in which it is convenient to place a fork, knife and spoon.
3. Complex configurations - tinted napkins are laid out on the table so that they form a large flower, from which a petal can be pulled out if necessary.

There are a huge number of variations for placement on the table. Wanting to show ingenuity, the hostess can always decorate the dining room meal, showing non-standard solutions, creativity and her own approach.

Where to start knitting napkins

Today we will look at simple diagrams with descriptions, and more. First we decide on the threads. Many needlewomen prefer mercerized cotton. Special processing makes the yarn look like silk. It becomes strong and has a pleasant shine.

Openwork classics are well knitted with a thin thread:

• "Snowflake";
• "Rose";
• "Aster";
• "Pelican";
• the incredibly popular "Iris".

Thicker options are great for voluminous patterns:

• "Anna 16";
• "Lily";
• "Lacy pekhorka."

“Iris” produces a huge assortment of all shades of the palette, and “Snowflake” comes only in white. The thinnest to the touch is “Snowflake”, then “Iris” and “Rose”. If you knit the same pattern, the difference in the diameter of the finished product is noticeable. This effect is related to thickness. The thicker the thread, the larger the napkin. The most voluminous of those listed is “Rose”.

REFERENCE. Potholders are knitted from wool and wool mixtures. It is not customary to use them for napkin making.

The selection of a hook is based on the thickness of the threads and personal preferences. No. 2 is most often used. The result should be a moderately dense product without loose sagging posts and loops.

To begin with, take the most popular number. If things go well, the craftswoman stocks up with a set of hooks for the most accurate selection.

flower composition

Crafts made from napkins – flowers – are the most common option. The color scheme is completely different. When creating, it helps that they can be painted in any tone that seems most preferable.

Simple but lush flowers are used to decorate a dinner party, dinner or gift. Normal working set:

• Scissors.
• Glue.
• Threads.
• A tube for the stem if you intend to make a bouquet.

Do-it-yourself paper napkin crafts step by step help you acquire the required skills and get the desired result.

Stages of work

1. The accordion folds to 1 cm. For greater accuracy, it is better to resort to markings.
2. Without turning it, it is placed on a smooth surface and rolled up to determine the middle. It is attached to it with a thread.
3. It should be rounded with scissors.
4. At the end of the work, the flower must be made lush to obtain the most advantageous relief.

For variety, you can try using flowers of a different size. This terry option will beautifully decorate: a box, a photo frame or a bouquet with an improvised stem in the form of a tube.

For a gift box, a square napkin is folded into a triangle, and then the top is rounded off with scissors. Blanks of 8 petals, of which several need to be made, are glued together, and the petals, having changed, form a flower.

How to read diagrams correctly

When learning to knit, it is the patterns that will help you do everything correctly from the very beginning. Moreover, they are also used by experienced craftswomen. There are several basic rules when reading diagrams:

1. They must be studied from bottom to top and from the center in a circle.
2. Front or odd rows are read from right to left.
3. Purl or even lines look from left to right.
4. The circular series is studied counterclockwise.

Rapport is that part of the pattern that repeats; on the diagram or in the description it looks like this: “*...*”. Each knitting begins and ends with loops. A rapport can be located between them, which is repeated the required number of times.

Some of the symbols on the diagrams can be confusing. However, everything is simple here too, if you remember the basic signs:

• the air loop is designated by the abbreviation - VP;
• single crochet - sc or sc;
• double crochet - double crochet;
• half-loop – PP;
• half column - PS.
• С2Н, С3Н, С4Н are columns with two, three and four crochets, respectively.

It’s not so difficult to learn how to crochet tablecloths and napkins. In this case, the result may be unexpectedly pleasant. The house will always be cozy with warmth, and friends will certainly rejoice at the gift from the bottom of their hearts.

Roses

Another DIY craft made from napkins is the most favorite for many craftswomen. It is made like this:

1. The square shape is cut into 4 equal parts.
2. One square needs to be folded to make 2 equal in size, wrapped around the cylinder, leaving some space. The bottom of the rose needs to be strengthened with wire.
3. Other squares are cut diagonally. The resulting triangle is wound around the core with the hypotenuse so that the vertex of the right angle is turned to the side, forming a petal. The quantity depends on the volume of the product.
4. The part at the bottom is wrapped with green paper tape; it is appropriate to glue a miniature cup.
5. For the stem, choose a wire made of copper or aluminum, which is covered with a ribbon cut from a napkin.

The rose is unusual in itself and in the bouquet. You can go the other way - a wide strip is cut out, which is folded more than once and then rounded at the top. The edge turns out wavy.

The nuances of knitting an openwork tablecloth

Crocheted openwork napkins and tablecloths will be a great source of pride for a beginning craftswoman. There are various techniques. The tablecloth can be knitted entirely or combined from several fragments.

The Bruges technique originated in Belgium, in the city of Bruges. There, various knitted items have been popular since the sixteenth century. This technique uses a method that imitates bobbin ligature. A special feature is the combination of various weaves into ornaments.

If you want to see roses blooming on the tablecloth, then it is better to use the fillet knitting technique. It is based on a mosaic pattern, that is, the principle of “empty cell - filled cell.” They differ from each other in the way they are knitted. A filled cell is obtained from three Sts. In this case, each row begins with four VP lifts and ends with one StSN. An empty square is knitted using one DC and two VP.

A tablecloth using the fillet knitting technique will look great. The materials you can use are cotton or linen. For this technique, you need to take a hook one size smaller in relation to the thread, and start knitting a chain of loops. Then continue manufacturing a new product according to the chosen scheme.

Before knitting a tablecloth, you need to decide on its shape and size. Much depends on the table itself. The tablecloth can be round, square, rectangular or oval. In order to find out the size of the tablecloth, you need to measure the length and width of the table. Don't forget about the hanging edge. It is recommended to add 20-40 cm for each side.

Knitting pattern for a square-shaped product:

1. You need to start from the middle. Knit 409 chain stitches (VP), then turn.
2. In each row, replace the first double crochet with three VPs.
3. Finish each trim strip separately.
4. Once the first half is knitted, you need to turn the tablecloth over.
5. The second part must be started from the second row.
6. Shape the tablecloth.

The size of the finished product will be approximately 120 x 100 cm. You need to work with a crochet hook number 1.5. The knitting density will be 140 cells per 141 rows. A square tablecloth will look beautiful on a round table.

Chamomile

It is best to attach such flowers to large paintings. Made from white and yellow napkins. In order not to cut out a circle with a diameter of 5-8 cm, you can buy ready-made ones. The workpiece is divided into 20-25 identical parts, carefully cut. The petals need to be rounded at the top.

The middle is formed yellow. In the first case, the process is similar to that of a dandelion with a diameter of 3 cm. Alternatively, it is possible to assemble it from crumpled balls of 5-6 mm each. The flower is glued onto cardboard.

Applications and paintings

DIY paper napkin crafts are a reason for inexhaustible and limitless ingenuity. They can be easily crushed into tiny balls, so this property is used in a specific technique. For the picture, multi-colored napkins are cut into squares and crumpled until dense balls are formed.

The brightness of the canvas depends on the abundance of colors. A drawing is applied to the cardboard. It is not forbidden to do it using carbon paper. The balls are attached one by one exactly according to the image. Dimensions can be changed by increasing the size of the elements.

When quilling, napkins are divided into strips of 10 - 12 mm, spirally wound onto a rod, after which an applique is made. You can give it different shapes - round, oval or in the form of a drop, by crumpling the spiral with your fingers. Often, strands twisted from strips are used for paintings.

Required materials and tools

When faced with knitting openwork napkins for the first time, it is better to choose thicker threads. The hook is selected according to their size. The thread must fit exactly into the notch, leaving no empty space. For those who are just starting to crochet openwork napkins, it is better to choose a tool measuring 2-2.5 mm. Gradually improving the technique, you can switch to thinner threads and a 0.5-1 mm hook - then the product will be soft and airy.

When crocheting napkins, beginners should choose wool blend or acrylic yarn. More experienced craftswomen prefer cotton threads. The most popular yarn is Iris. The color of the thread depends on the vision of the final result. Most often, women choose white; it is a kind of classic of needlework and knitting. A large number of crochet napkin patterns with descriptions in Russian can be found on the Internet, books or magazines.

• A3 paper,
• napkins of green and light green colors,
• scissors, glue, pencil,
• ruler, stapler.

Step-by-step master class:

1. We make a cone out of paper, glue it together, and level the bottom.
2. We cut the napkins folded 4 times at the fold: you get two blanks per napkin.
3. We fasten the resulting squares in the center with a stapler.
4. Gently crumple the napkin towards the center, starting from the top layer.
5. We straighten the resulting flower (in total you will need to make about 50 flowers).
6. Glue the flowers to the cone in a circle, starting from the bottom. We glue alternately: green flower - light green, etc. There should be no space left between the flowers.
7. Decorate the top to your liking.
