If you watch the changing world closely, it turns out that not that he and changeable. Changing the shape and the content remains the same. Actually, the changes themselves do not arise out of space, and if "rotate" in a spiral, surfacing in the present from the past.
Today we will talk to you about, perhaps, the most important winter accessories - scarf, with a history spanning more than two thousand years!
For the first time the scarf appeared in ancient China, it was tied around his neck as a protection from the cold wind and the soldiers of the Emperor of China. Since then, a scarf took a firm place in the army "arsenal", and years later became a fixture in the women's locker room. Scarves, shawls, scarves - derived ideas from the ancient scarf, which, today, for the most part are an ornament - a million. But winter scarf is still, above all, protection against cold and wind.
Classic garter stitch, English, French, bubble gum - ways to knit winter scarf - a lot. The main thing - the thread should be fluffy, dense, but light. A range of colors - to reflect your inner world, and match the style of dress. However, let me give you a few simple tips, which I hope you will fall by the way.
So, before you go into a special shop for thread and needles, you must determine the size of your future scarf. Of course, the length and width can be chosen arbitrarily, it is necessary to consider only that the scarf is wider, the shorter it should be. And, accordingly, the longer - the more thin and narrow it is. Otherwise, the scarf will not look as good as could be.
Traditional "parameters" women's winter scarf - 30 cm width and 2 meters length. Knitting can be like spokes and hook. In the latter case, the beginning of knitting - standard: recruit the necessary number of calculation loops 1 cm = 2 loops. If the selected pattern is more difficult than usual, you can use a sample of twenty loops.
The main and perhaps the only task in the manufacture of scarf - knitting the main part. Here you need to knit a clear number of rows, which will make the fabric, chosen length.
In the last series loop needs to be closed, and the ends of complementary or traditional brushes, or which entered recently into vogue small "trinkets", as, for example, Such are the crocheted funny brelochki.
Well, now that you know how to tie the usual classic scarf, I tell a little about his variations. And I'll start with the now popular scarf-LIC, which can also be used as a headdress - bonnet.
Looking ahead, I note that with the technique of knitting LICs cope even novice knitters. Spokes LICs can be linked in two ways: as an ordinary broad scarf, ie in length, and then sew the ends so as to form a vicious circle; a circular manner. In this case, you get a wonderful seamless product. If the selected pattern has a non-identical texture on the front and a seamy side to fold the canvas height in half, and the problem will be solved.
For LICs associated spokes fit any pattern. Everything depends on the possession of skills of knitting, the functions assigned to the future product features and yarn. For example, for a beautiful spectacular LIC basic pattern can become ordinary hosiery knitting: enough to choose an interesting yarn and knit odd rows facial loops, and all the even - Wrong. Also a great LIC obtained when knitting the English band.
The choice of yarn and needles number for this type of scarf is also important. To create a relief pattern use a thicker yarn and special circular needle №6 7 or 40 cm long, connected by a thick fishing line. They will help to create a "compact binding", which greatly speed up the process and improve the appearance of a future product.
For a more elegant models choose mohair, angora or acrylic. With the help of thin circular needle №2,5 and 3 mm, you can create unusual openwork patterns.
