The simplest crochet napkins are obtained when choosing simple repeating patterns and a simple shape. For example, some rectangular or round napkins knit easily and quickly, while helping to fill your hand for more complex and interesting knitting patterns.
- Sun circle
A beautiful napkin that will look great in any color, and not even in one. It is quite simple to knit, and to make it even easier, step-by-step photographs of the work process are useful.
Materials for work:
- cotton yarn of the main and contrasting color;
- hook suitable for yarn;
- scissors;
- large embroidery needle with a large eye.
Working process:
We make the ring a thread of the main color and fix the thread.
1st row: make two air loops.
We tie the ring with eleven double crochets.
Connect the ring. Pull the thread by tightening the ring, and then tie the single crochet into the first loop of the row.
2nd row: Make three air loops. Knit a single crochet in the same row.
Knit two single crochet stitches in each stitch of the first row. You should now have 24 loops. Knit a single crochet loop in the first loop of the row, thus closing it.
3rd row: make three air loops. Knit two single crochet stitches in the next row, then one double crochet in the next row, and again two double crochets in the same row. You should now have 36 loops. Knit a single crochet loop in the first loop of the row, thus closing it.
4th row: Make three air loops. Knit two single crochet stitches in the next row, then one double crochet in the next row, and again two double crochets in the same row.
You should now have 48 loops. Knit a single crochet loop in the first loop of the row, thus closing it.
The final row: Make a chain of three air loops. Tie a single crochet in the same row. Make two air loops. Knit two single crochet stitches in the same stitch of the bottom row. Skip two rows. Then again, knit two single crochet stitches into the same stitch of the bottom row. Knit like this in a circle. Finish knitting by stretching the thread through the loop and cutting it.
Napkin decoration
Take a thread of contrasting color. We pass the hook into one of the rows (closer to the outer edge of the napkin) and pull out the air loop. Now we pass the hook into the next loop of the row and knit another air loop. Repeat these steps until we get to the first loop. We pull the thread through the loop, cut it. Insert the thread into the needle and thread the thread into the first loop as shown in the photo. Make a stitch in the last loop and finish the job. A simple crochet napkin is ready.
