This yarn is a thread with protruding hairs of different lengths. The fabric of the knitted product resembles a mown lawn if the pile is short and the fur if it is long. The yarn is inexpensive, in online stores about 60-80 rubles. for 100 g.

What "grass" can be knitted

This yarn is intended for hand knitting, but you can also knit products from it on the machine. Practically any upper things are knitted from "grass": coats, jackets, sleeveless jackets, sweaters. It can be paired with smooth yarns and used to trim the edges of garments. Many amateurs knit scarves, berets, hats. But here it is still worth remembering that this yarn is synthetic, mainly polyester, polyamide with the addition of lurex. Therefore, if you nevertheless decide to knit a hat, then make a lining from natural knitwear.

Amusing and funny toys are obtained from "grass". Even if you haven’t knitted them before, it’s worth a try, have fun, and the children will be delighted. Just first decide with which nap you will create a particular toy. On the Internet there is a photo of the original Christmas tree knitted from "grass" with a long pile.

For children, they knit suits, jackets, fur coats, hats, scarves. Mittens, probably, should not be knitted out of it, gradually the villi will begin to crawl out and will fall into the child's eyes. For the home, you can knit excellent blankets, bedspreads, decorative pillows, and you never know what else you can dream up.

How to knit from "grass"

The thread of this yarn is rather slippery and therefore does not hold its shape. It is better to knit together with another thread (cotton, semi-wool, acrylic).

The front and back sides are different in fluffiness. It is difficult to say which one to prefer: a hook or knitting needles, there are different opinions. Toys, probably, are still better to crochet, then the canvas turns out to be dense, and the pile sticks out in all directions. Yarn has its merits and demerits.

Advantages of "grass" yarn: inexpensive, looks beautiful, interesting colors, a wide choice in stores.

Disadvantages of this yarn: it can only be washed by hand, it cannot be ironed or bleached, products will fade in the sun. There are complaints in the forums that things made of yarn are heavy and prickly. Determine the prickle by applying a skein to the neck. But a lot depends on the manufacturer, so ask the opinions of other knitters on the Internet.

Tips for knitting with fancy yarn

If you are knitting, use a size large enough, no less than number 4.
Note that the "weed" is fluffier on the seamy side.
After knitting, the pile must be combed in both directions with a comb or brush.
The yarn product turns out to be voluminous, so focus on your figure if you knit for yourself.
If you still want to knit a hat for a child, then so that his head does not sweat under the hat, knit in stripes, alternating between "grass" and natural threads.

Online stores offer new options for yarn: with merino, viscose, acrylic. But it is twice as expensive as usual. There is also a yarn called "swan down" (nylon, acrylic, polyamide).

"Grass" is a very interesting outwardly, unusual yarn with a pile from 0.5 to several centimeters. It is made from polyester or polyamide, sometimes with the addition of lurex or other metallics. A variety of colors, an unusually delicate, silky structure - all this allows you to use yarn not only for the production of children's and adult clothes, but also for the manufacture of toys, souvenirs, blankets and much more. With skillful use, the products and their parts made of "Grass" will resemble spring grass, and shaggy frost, and precious fur.

Yarn "Grass" is suitable for hand knitting and, and crochet, you can knit it on the machine. And it would seem that knitting should not create any problems.

Firstly, products from "Travka" do not require the choice of complex patterns, neither embossed nor openwork - the pattern will still be hidden by the pile. Knit from this - regular satin stitch, front or purl; crochet - double crochet. Secondly, for knitting, you should take a hook or knitting needles of a large size, No. 4 - 6, which means that the work will go pretty quickly. There is no need to be afraid of excessive looseness of the canvas - the thick pile will hide all this.

But those who have already knitted with "Travka" know that the nap, decorating the product, greatly complicates the work. In order not to spoil the yarn and not waste your time, you should remember a few simple rules.

The basic rule is that the pile of the thread during knitting should be located with the ends of the threads from left to right. This is one of the main difficulties - the skeins that go on sale are formed exactly the opposite, and at first glance, knitting is easier. This is true, but the quality of the canvas will suffer. It is necessary to rewind the purchased skein, but it is easier to pull out the end of the thread from the middle of the skein and start knitting from it - in this case, the direction will be correct.

With a very thick and long pile, you have to knit literally "to the touch", you need to be very careful not to miss the loop. At first this is difficult, but in the process of work, skill will appear, and possibly some kind of your own way to release the pile, making the canvas more fluffy.

Those who want to get a denser product will have to add either a thick cotton thread like Iris or, if a warmer product is needed, a thin woolen thread. Products made only from "Grass", especially knitted with thick knitting needles, turn out to be too airy and plastic, do not keep their shape and size very well.

But do not forget that not only and not so much independent products can be knitted from Grass yarn. It is very good for finishing clothes, both knitted and sewn from any material. Elements of sweaters, jackets, suits, shawls, knitted with "Grass", will transform the usual look of clothes.

Fur products are not only warm and comfortable, but also symbolize wealth, wealth and chic. One of the ways to get a beautiful and original fur product is to knit a thing using pieces of fur in knitting. Such a thing will be affordable and unusual, and anyone who already has basic skills in the art of crocheting can master knitting with fur. In this way, you can knit anything - a hat, a scarf, a beautiful poncho or a stole. Any thing made of wool and fur will arouse the admiration and curiosity of others.

Instructions

Measure the circumference of your head and put the appropriate number of chain stitches on the hook. Knit in a simple spiral stitch using single crochet stitches in the first row, and in the second row, start using the pieces.

Use fur to knit and crochet into a single crochet, then insert the crochet hook behind the fur and crochet again.

Then repeat the same column without a piece of fur. Continue to knit in a spiral, adding the required number of loops to expand the fabric, and alternate the stitches with the pieces of fur knitted in them with the stitches without fur.

After finishing the second row, knit the third row completely without any fur. Tie the fourth row with fur pieces in the same way as the second. Then knit a row again without fur. Alternate rows with and without fur, and closer to the bottom, begin to decrease the loops and knit each column with fur, without alternating the columns in a row.

Try knitting a simple canvas. After studying the instructions and basic knitting techniques, proceed to the first tests. Tie the fabric with longitudinal or transverse stripes. Such patterns look especially impressive from melange yarn, which can be obtained by winding several skeins of the same color.

Children's blouse with raglan knitting needles (weed knitting) - description for beginners with a photo:

Collar

We type 60 loops with finishing yarn on regular or circular knitting needles 2.5 size 60 and knit with a simple pattern "elastic 2 * 2" to the desired height (12-14 rows).

Then we cut the thread and go to the main yarn, with which we knit 2 rows with the front satin stitch.

In the course of knitting, we make 4 increments.

Raglan

Now we start knitting raglan for a children's blouse. To do this, we divide all the loops on the knitting needles into 4 unequal parts: 2 parts of 10 loops for the front, two more for the sleeves (also 10 loops each) and one part for the back (20 loops). The 4 remaining loops will form the so-called raglan lines. We knit the first row according to the scheme.

On the seamy side, we knit all the loops with the seamy side, but if you do not want holes along the raglan line, then the crochet loops need to be knitted with the front ones. It is worth noting that the holes on the fluffy yarn will be almost invisible. We continue to knit the raglan to the desired length (26-28 rows). In each row, of course, the total number of loops will increase.

So, by the end of the raglan, there will be 26 loops for the front shelves, 52 loops for the back and 40 loops for the sleeves.

After that, we begin to knit each part of the blouse separately. First, we knit the first part of the front (shelf) with the front stitch about 48-50 rows, and then we take our finishing yarn and knit 12 rows with an elastic band 2 * 2.

In the same way we knit a sleeve, but we make it several rows longer than the shelf. We knit the cuffs with finishing yarn also longer (20 rows) (photo 6). Then we knit the back of the same length as the front shelf.

After that we knit the second sleeve and the second shelf. As a result, you should get this "asterisk":

We fold the knitting and sew.

Registration

Now you need to beautifully decorate the front of the knitted blouse. To do this, we knit two strips of finishing yarn with an elastic pattern. Cast on 80 stitches and knit 10 rows. After that we close the hinges. In the second plank, do not forget to make holes for the fastener.

Now we sew both slats to the front shelves, close up all protruding threads and sew on the buttons. It turns out such a gentle and soft children's raglan blouse, knitted, for a newborn baby (up to 3 months).

Album “Knitting Your Hobby. Special issue No. 3 2012 "

We need 20 of these motives. Then we begin to collect the yoke.

The front part of the yoke consists of 5 motifs, the back of 3 motifs. I collected them with a crochet, but you can also sew with a needle.

Then, with 5-7mm knitting needles from white grass, we freely collect 40 loops and knit a loose fabric so that it moves, we knit freely until we run out of 2 skeins of 100 g each. We knit two such fabrics. I have a length of about 120 cm and sew the first fabric to the yoke with a crochet on the front side with black "grass" threads.

Then we tie the second strip of grass. I drew the diagram by hand.

Sew 6 motifs with flowers in the center from the side parts. Smooth the corners, filling them with st s1n and 1v.

We tie the entire product with black grass, including the neckline. That’s all. You can dress and admire yourself.
