Crochet a snowflake napkin in an hour. Crocheted napkin-candlestick in the form of a snowflake. How to crochet a New Year's big snowflake napkin: pattern, diagram, description

Good afternoon dear friends!

We continue the New Year theme. Let's crochet Christmas napkins!

New Year's holidays presuppose, first of all, a long feast and a beautiful table setting with all kinds of attributes in the form of candles, Christmas trees, sheep figurines and certainly beautiful table napkins.

Little crocheted Christmas napkins are so delicate, delicate and very reminiscent of snowflakes. Such a New Year's decor will make your home especially festive, and will surprise both guests and all household members.

I chose three napkins with diagrams that I liked.

Cotton yarn of the Iris type and hook No. 1.5 are suitable for all napkins. Use bright colors, not necessarily white.

Small New Year's napkin No. 1

The napkin is crocheted from white yarn, but it is quite possible to use a colored one, suitable for.

The scheme is very simple, I will skip the description of knitting.

New Year's napkin - snowflake # 2


A New Year's napkin, especially similar to a snowflake, is knitted of yarn of two (three) colors - in the middle part, a flower of red yarn with a pink core (you can make it red) and petals of green melange yarn imitating the rays of snowflakes.

We also have a selection of interesting schemes. If you knit them from not very thin yarn, then you will also get wonderful New Year's napkins!

Consider a knitting pattern.

In a ring of 6 VP, we knit 1VP and 11 single crochet stitches with pink (red) yarn.

2nd row: 1 VP, 2VP, 16VP, we connect the 16th loop with the first, 2VP, 1SBN, 2VP and so on. Received six arches of the petals.

3rd row: 1ВП, 1 СБН, then we tie the petal: 1СБН, 1 half-column with 1 yarn, 5С1Н, 5С2Н, 5ВП, 5 С2Н, 5С1Н, 1 half-column, 1СБН; then 3 sc and tie the next petal. At the end of the row 1СБН.

4th row knit with green yarn. Here reading the diagram caused me a difficulty. I turned to my classmates for help, where they quickly helped me figure it out. Once again I thank Elena for this.

So, we attach the green thread to the arch of the air loops of the red petal: 1VP, 2SBN, pico, 3SBN, 2VP.

We make two yarns, insert a hook under the column of the other petal, knit yarns.

Then 1С1Н and into it a column with the remaining four crochets.

A very interesting scheme and a beautiful New Year's napkin snowflake.

New Year's napkin with openwork scallops No. 3

A simple but very effective New Year's napkin.

We knit an ordinary simple circle, and then we tie it with scallops (in the 10th row): 4С1Н (at the beginning of the row we replace the first column with 3VP), 4VP, 10 VP, we close it in a ring and connect it to the last loop of a chain of 4 VP.

Then we knit into a ring: 3VP, 3S2N, 3VP, 1SBN, 3VP, 3S2N, 3VP, 1SBN, 3VP, 3S2N, 3VP, 1SBN. And at the end of the festoon 3VP.

And I published another scheme of an interesting large New Year's napkin with Christmas trees in the article ““. Come and see it, I hope you will like it: such a very unusual and beautiful napkin.

Crocheting New Year's napkins will give you pleasure and create a pre-holiday atmosphere. After all, we always prepare for our beloved holiday in advance.

And I have this message today: the 10,000th comment was left on the last article about knitted potholders. Probably many have noticed this. The commentary was written by Dmitry Bogatyrev. Under the terms "Dmitry received a prize of 250 rubles.

Good afternoon - today I am unloading THE BIGGEST article on ideas-crafts from knitted snowflakes. Today, you won't just learn how to crochet snowflakes from scratch ... and I won't just give you napkin snowflake patterns. You'll get A HUGE CHARGE OF INSPIRATION... Because you will see HOW EXACTLY knitted snowflakes can be used to decorate the New Year's holiday.

Here's what we'll do

  1. Candlesticks and napkins from knitted snowflakes.
  2. Snowflake pendants(frame, with beads, on the frame)
  3. Christmas tree decorations with crocheted snowflakes.
  4. Snowflakes to decorate the New Year's table(tablecloths, coasters, ring)
  5. Crochet snowflakes - applications for New Year's cards.
  6. Snowflakes garlands crochet for interior decoration.
  7. Using snowflakes on Christmas wreaths.

So, there will be many interesting ideas. Roll the mouse wheel and dive into this festive world of snowflake knitting art.

SNOWFLAKES WITH A HOOK - as a decoration for the New Year's table.

Here's an idea crochet christmas candlesticks I found ... and immediately wanted to knit such a snowflake for this coming new year.

But there is really nothing complicated. You first need to tie a ring of air loops ... then tie it with crochet columns (5-6 circular rows - so that a candlestick tablet fits on the round). And in the last row, you need to make so many columns - so that their TOTAL NUMBER is divided by the COLUMN SIZE of the snowflake petal (by the number of columns in a repeating pattern). That is, if we have chosen a pattern for a snowflake petal that starts repeating every 10 loops, then the total number of columns of the last UNDER-DECORATED must be a multiple of ten (for example, 60 - to create 6 petals or 70 - to create 7 petals). Thanks to this, we can safely start our pattern - and we will be sure that all the petals will fit in a circle without tightness and unnecessary holes.

The snowflake candlestick in the photo above has 8 petals... and the pattern of each petal is placed on 5 columns of the bottom row ... This means that in the circular DOOR ROW we will have to bring the total number of columns in the circle to 40 (because 8 times 5 is 40) - and only after that we can safely start the pattern.

Also in the decoration of the festive table crocheted snowflakes can serve as napkins-coasters or stands for the legs of glass glasses.

You can also decorate a ring for table napkins with a knitted snowflake. The ring itself can be cut from a strip of fabric (or regular tape).

You can crochet a lot of snowflakes according to any convenient and quick scheme - and connect all the snowflakes with each other with rays (just sewing threads). You will get a beautiful one-piece New Year's napkin for the table.
Or you can make for a table decor fancy hearts with lace ruffles, crocheted bows and snowflakes appliques.

And here are two more beautiful ideas for a beautiful New Year's lamp. The first idea (this is a bag of white paper in which an LED garland is hidden) We glue such a boozy cone with knitted napkins-snowflakes ... plug the garland into an outlet and look at the beautiful glowing lace.


And the second candlestick is simply crocheted from a tall glass, lace, and snowflakes. By the way, to light a candle inside such a deep glass convenient to use PASTA SPAGHETTI. They burn perfectly - we light a long spaghetti and put such a "splinter" in a glass to the wick of a candle.

KNITTED SNOWFLAKES-NAPKINS

- as a decor for a gift.

If you have prepared small gifts for your friends in the form of New Year's cookies or sweets, then it will be good to put them in such jars, decorated with a knitted snowflake napkin. The jar itself will be a good gift for storing dear and useful little things in it.

Such a snowflake is simply crocheted to the wall of the can with a glue gun.

Also, jars of homemade jam according to family recipes of a probabushka ... or delicious pickles from a hospitable mother-in-law can be used as New Year's gifts. H to make the jars look like New Year's gifts their caps can be decorated, supplemented with such an elegant napkin with a knitted snowflake in the center.

SNOWFLAKES crochet

to decorate the Christmas tree.

And you can also beautifully decorate the Christmas tree itself with snowflakes. You can crochet many of the same snowflakes - in the same style according to the same pattern. The colors red and white look beautiful - bright and festive.

And in general, the new year in the red style is beautiful. On our site there is a separate article dedicated to just such a color choice in the decor of the holiday.

You can show your imagination and make crochet snowflake crafts with an original concept. This is how it is here - not just a snowflake knitted, but like a costume for a small crocheted doll. Or snowflakes like strapping round pieces of a postcard.

You can also crochet a snowflake connect with felt base- and we will get a Christmas tree toy with a clear round outline and a bright background under a white snowflake.

Can write a snowflake into a metal ring and decorate the tree (or turn into jewelry). Metal rings can be purchased at the sewing department of the store (in the same place where buckles, pins and buttons are sold).

DIY NEW YEAR CARDS DECOR

knitted snowflakes.

Often we do not just want to say warm greetings out loud ... but we want our holiday wishes to remain in the form of text on the postcard. Then the creative work of our caring hands will help add warmth to our words. Why fill stamped soulless postcards from the store with sincere words - it is better to make a postcard with your own hands and decorate it with a knitted snowflake. Any pattern, thin threads and a small crochet hook will help us create a miniature openwork snowflake - which will look delicate on the surface of a New Year's card.


You can snowflake just stick(with a glue stick) ... Or a snowflake can be put in the cut-through frame-hole cut out in the postcard. You can make holes along the edges of such a "window" and not glue the snowflake, but tie it to the postcard for these holes.

Or you can simply hang the snowflake on a string on a postcard.

Christmas tree decoration with snowflakes

or tree branches

The New Year's holiday is, first of all, a FIR-tree. And the Christmas tree can also be decorated with knitted snowflakes. If you have a small desktop Christmas tree, then two skeins of thread are enough for tying it with snowflakes.

Or if instead of a Christmas tree you only have a small arrangement of fir branches hanging on the door or wall. That is also crocheted from spruce legs, golden ribbon and snowflakes.

Snowflakes can also decorate a flat blende tree on the wall. How to make such a Christmas tree from a garland is quite understandable. We just glue double-sided tape on the wall (silhouette in the shape of a herringbone) and glue our fluffy garland to the sticky silhouette. We get the outline of the tree on the wall- and now you can hang crocheted snowflakes by the strings. If the wall is wooden and you do not feel sorry for it, then you can fill in small carnations and attach a garland and snowflakes for them.

Or, if you don’t mind the time and threads, you can crochet a chain of small snowflakes for a whole garland on a Christmas tree.

You can crochet snowflakes small compositions without spruce legs - only with branches. Crystal pendants (ice-like icicles) and silver birds will serve as an addition to the decor.

Knitted snowflakes can to hang from the rungs of the stepladders... or fastened to the ceiling beam (so that they hang beautifully over the New Year's table).

Garland of crocheted snowflakes.

Snowflakes can be tied from colored threads and hung on a string above the fireplace ... or along the doorway ... or along the top cabinet in the kitchen (convenient if the cabinet doors slide up).

White snowflakes of the same design look good (that is, crocheted in one pattern). Such a garland can be fixed on the wall just like that.

And you can knit snowflakes of different designs - according to schemes with different patterns and different sizes. It turns out, too, a magical decoration for the New Year's holiday. Especially if the color of the snowflakes matches the style of the overall color design of the interior.

Or you can crochet the snowflakes on the curtain rod - each on its own string (as in the photo below).

Knitted snowflakes can also decorate a simple Christmas wreath.

SNOWFLAKES in decoration

decorative pendants.

Crocheted fishnet beauties can be made into a one-piece suspension structure. Here are two models of such a snowflake.
MODEL # 1 - we knit snowflakes of three sizes - large, medium and small. And we string them on a string - first a large one, then a few crystal beads ... medium ... more beads and a small one.

MODEL # 2 - we take a metal ring (you can bend it from a wire) and tie it with crochet hooks with simple crochet posts (just try it - it's simple - we hook the thread under the edge of the ring and knit the post, as usual). The number of columns on the ring must be adjusted to such a number - so that it is a multiple of the rapport (the size of the repeating pattern is the size of the snowflake's petal).

Or you can come up with a pattern for a snowflake pendant on the fly ... and then it is only important that the total number of columns is divisible by six.

And then we knit another snowflake with a crochet - such that it fits inside the ring.

And you can also fit a ready-made snowflake into the ring- pull its rays to the ring and fasten with threads. These crochet snowflake rings can be hung on the window. Or in a doorway, or on a wall. On beautiful ribbons.

And knitted snowflakes can be attached to a hair hoop - and we will get a beautiful crown-kokoshnik for the Snow Maiden for a matinee in kindergarten.

The hoop must first be wrapped with a white ribbon ... and as it is wrapped, the ribbon must be fastened with a thread and a needle (so that the layers of the ribbon do not slide off) - and then hard starched (or sugared) knitted snowflakes must be sewn to this ribbon.

Or the hoop itself can be tied with single crochets(tie just by diving with a hook under the hoop) - and then on the comb of these columns, start knitting at once RAYS of one large snowflake. As in the photo with a blue kokoshnik - which consists of 5 rays of a large snowflake pattern. You can use the scheme for tying such a Snow Maiden's kokoshnik take snowflakes from any scheme... And just increase its rays ... come up with a continuation of the pattern - any combination of columns and arches from chains of air loops.

SCHEMES FOR KNITTING SNOWFLAKES WITH A HOOK.

Well, now let's move on to the diagrams. Each snowflake takes its own pattern only THREE ELEMENTS ... air loop ... single crochet ... single crochet (or two).
If you know how to knit these THREE ELEMENTS - then you can knit ANY PATTERN - for ANY SNOWFLAKE - according to ANY SCHEME.

All these different snowflakes(from the photo above) knit too by means of THREE ELEMENTS of knitting.
Look at the diagrams below - here only airs ... only single crochets ... and only single crochets.
And the pattern turns out to be different - because the alternation of these elements is new every time.

Like the alternation of notes in music. There are only 7 notes - and the music is new every time.

Therefore, snowflakes are EASY TO MAKE... just knit in a circle ... and come up with a pattern on the go. All that is needed is to decide in advance how many rays the snowflake will have - and bring the BASE CIRCLE to such a number of columns in a circle - so that it is a MULTIPLE number of rays (that is, it is divided by the number of rays without a remainder) ....
For example six-ray snowflakes- the number of loops in the basic circle (round-middle) should be 18 ... or 24 ... or 30 ... or 36 ... or 42 ... or 48 ... and so on. That is, the number of columns in a circle must be divisible by 6.

HOW TO DRY snowflakes.

(and how to make them hard - 3 ways)

And another main secret - after knitting snowflakes they need to be shaped... So that they are hard and callous. There are three ways to CURE snowflakes - three solutions.

The first way. Starch and dry flat. D We want a solution of 3 tablespoons of starch in 1 tbsp of cold water.

Moistened the snowflake with starch solution and flattened on a sheet of cardboard- and so that the snowflake stretches well, stuck pins- so that the snowflake stretches and does not shrink back - but dry out in such a straightened form. Then it will keep its solid shape, hardened by the starch.

Second way. Sugar a snowflake... We make sugar syrup - 16 tablespoons of sugar for 1 glass of water - put everything on the fire so that the sugar dissolves. We immerse the snowflake in the syrup. We take it out, put it on a sheet of cardboard covered with polyethylene - level the snowflake, fix it with pins.

Third way. Saturate with gelatin. We buy a bag of edible gelatin. And prepare the solution according to the instructions on the bag (soak it, then heat it until the gelatin dissolves - and immerse the snowflake in the gelatin syrup ... or apply the syrup to the snowflake with a brush.

HOW TO TIE A SNOWFLAKE WITH A HOOK.

Schemes and a master class in a simple pattern.

SNOWFLAKE TITLING starts from the MIDDLE ... from the center ... and gradually row by row - circle by circle the snowflake is overgrown with lace petals.

What this process looks like very clearly seen from the master class below... Here it is shown how a snowflake is crocheted according to the scheme. By the way, these are perhaps the fastest snowflakes in knitting - and they keep their shape well even without starch- due to the fact that they have very clear contour with MULTIPLE-ROW tying.

IF YOU already have experience in knitting napkins or lace with a twist - then you can to understand the knitting pattern of a snowflake without patterns - JUST BY PHOTO.
After all, not even relatively small photos, all air loops, single crochet and crochet columns are clearly visible. Just print the snowflake on the printer (you can pre-enlarge the photo) and knit from such a photo sample.

Well, if you are a beginner crochet lacemaker, then here are some pretty simple snowflake patterns for you.

SCHEMES OF SMALL SNOWFLAKES.

Snowflake with cones. A bump is created easily (a lot of a crochet column is made - but all yarns are knitted in one loop at once).

And here are a few more schemes ... I found their pictures in such a deplorable blurry and pale form - that I decided to draw their schemes anew in good quality.

Scheme for openwork snowflakes.

But handsome openwork copy of a snowflake crochet. Nice holes and neat piping along the edge create the effect of a lace pattern. Despite the complex patterned knitting, crocheting such a snowflake is quite simple. The diagram is attached - all the same familiar AIRS ... columns WITHOUT crochet ... columns WITH OVER ... and that's it. Nothing new - just alternation and quantity.

For novice craftswomen, it will be difficult to figure out how to knit second row in the diagram above. There are long beams-arches along the edges of which loops of air are scattered. Therefore, below I give a picture with step-by-step description knit this intricate second row with rays.

The red dots are the loop that we "mentally remembered" (see the diagram below).

These are such beautiful ideas ... if I still find a beautiful scheme ... or a scheme that will inspire me so much that it will not be too lazy to draw it by hand - I will post it in this article below.

In the meantime, for today, these are all the treasures of my piggy bank.
Enjoy it.
Happiness and good luck in the New Year.
Let bright thoughts be strong and bring good events and good people into your home.

Crochet snowflake napkin pattern and explanations

To knit a napkin, you need any thread and a suitable hook. The snowflake shown in the photo is made of white cotton yarn slightly thicker than the popular Iris threads 1.65 mm crochet. When finished, the size of the napkin is about 28 cm.

Starting row: we knit a chain of 6 air loops and close it into a ring with a connecting post.

1st row: we evenly knit 12 single crochet stitches (RLS) in the ring, we start the row with an air lifting loop, which is equivalent to the first RLS.

2nd row: start with an air lift loop, which is equivalent to the first RLS, one RLS in each RLS of the previous row.

3rd row: three lifting loops = double crochet + 2 air loops, then (*) double crochet (CH) in the PRS of the previous row, 2 air loops. Repeat from (*) to the end of the circle.

4th row: three lifting loops = the first CH of the "fluffy column", 4 CH at the base of the CH of the previous row, then we connect the first and last columns with a connecting column, a "fluffy column" is formed, 3 air loops, (*) a fluffy column in CH previous row, 3 air loops. Repeat from (*) to the end of the circle.

Each puffy column consists of 5 CH (the last and the first pillars are held together by a connecting pillar), many call this type of puffy pillar "popcorn". If you prefer the familiar fluffy crochet stitches, you can use them as well. This is not essential for this model.

5th row: three lifting loops = double crochet + 5 air loops, then (*) double crochet (CH) in the lush column of the previous row, 5 air loops. Repeat from (*) to the end of the circle.

6th row: we start with an air lifting loop, which is equivalent to the first RLS, then 6 RLS in an arch of 5 air loops of the previous row. (*) 1 RLS in the SN of the previous row, 6 RLS in an arch of 5 air loops of the previous row. Repeat from (*) to the end of the circle.

7th row: three lifting loops = the first double crochet, then 1 CH in each sc in the previous row.

Now our project has come to an end. We carry out the final 18th and 19th rows.

Knitting patterns and explanations for the last rows of the snowflake napkin

18th row: in each arch of 11 stitches we knit 10 double crochets, only the beginning is a little non-standard, we make 3 lifting loops = the first double crochet, then 4 double crochets, we get half a group of 10 double crochets, and the second we will knit half, finishing the row.

In the 19th row, we have a little trick: we knit a triple pico. We do it as follows: we knit three air loops, insert the hook into the first loop from the beginning and make a connecting post, the first picot is ready. Then we knit three air loops again and repeat the process, the second picot is ready. We repeat the same for the third picot. After that, we insert the hook into the first loop of the first picot and make another connecting post, we ended up with a trefoil.

Hooray! Our snowflake napkin is ready!

But what if you try to knit it from a different yarn? Not the usual cotton, but, for example, from acrylic with an admixture of mohair and wool. Easily! With a yarn density of 400m / 100g, the size of the napkin will grow to 42 cm in diameter:

Moreover, after the training practice, the new crochet knitting will be able to knit a snowflake according to their idea, having received an original and beautiful decoration of their own authorship.

But first, let's look at a few traditional crochet snowflake options. To learn how to crochet patterns that turn into snowflakes, you should adhere to the following recommendations and patterns.

How to tie the simplest snowflake?

Crocheting snowflakes is also suitable for beginners in this business, if you choose among the easy options for patterns. We present several types of crochet snowflakes that can be easily knitted if you adhere to the detailed description.

Simple crochet snowflake # 1


This snowflake is knitted according to the following pattern and a detailed description with a photo:


We make a ring of thread and knit 1 air lifting loop.

1st row: we knit 8 single crochet into the ring, tighten the thread ring and knit the connecting post, inserting the hook into the 1st single crochet of this row.

2nd row: we knit 3 air loops of the rise + 2 air loops according to the pattern (i.e. we knit 5 air loops), in the next loop we knit a double crochet, then we knit 2 air loops, * in the next loop 1 double crochet, again 2 air loops * from * we continue to knit to the end of the row.


We close the row with a connecting post, insert the hook into the 3rd air lifting loop.

3rd row: in order to proceed to knitting from the arch, we knit 1 connecting post, then 2 air lifting loops, we knit 3 double crochets with a common top, then we knit 5 air loops, * in the next arch we knit 4 double crochets with a common top, again 5 air loops *, we continue to knit from * to the end of the row. We close the row with a connecting post, introducing the hook into the common top of the posts.


4th row: we knit 1 air lift loop and 1 single crochet into the same base loop, we knit a picot of 3 air loops, and a single crochet into the same base loop, then we knit a picot of 5 air loops, and a single crochet in the same base loop, we knit a picot of 3 stitches and a single crochet, introducing the hook into the same loop, then we knit 3 air loops * into the common top of the next group of columns we knit in the same way 1 single crochet, a picot of 3 stitches, 1 single crochet, 5 crochet pico, 1 single crochet, 3 crochet pico, 1 single crochet.



Let's try to crochet a few more options for simple snowflakes, and detailed master classes will help us with this.

Simple crochet snowflake # 2


To make it easier and more convenient to work with the diagram and description, we will use the following abbreviations:

VP - air loop;
PSN - half double crochet;
CLO - a column with 1 crochet;
Sc - single crochet;
CC2H - a column with 2 yarns;
CC3H - a column with 3 yarns;
SS - connecting post.

Scheme and progress of work:


1st row: 4 VP (replacement of 1 SSN + 1 VP), * 1 SSN, 1 VP * 6 times. Tighten the slip knot. Connect the PSN circle in 3 VP of the row rise.

2nd row: 1 VP, 1 SBN in the same arch, * 5 VP, 1 SBN we knit into the arch between the CCH of the previous row *. From * to * repeat to the end of the row. The row ends with 1 PRS in the arch, 2VP, 1 PRS in the first PRS at the beginning of this row. Thus, each new row will start in the middle of the previous petal.

3rd row: 4 VP, 1 SBN in the same arch, * 5 VP, we knit 1 SBN, 3VP into a large arch, and 1 SBN * into the same arch. Thus, we repeat from * to * to the last arch. In the last arch of the row we knit 1 RLS, 3 VP, 1 RLS and finish row 2 VP, in the first VP of the lift we knit 1 CCH. Again, you should be in the middle of the petal.

4th row: 4 VP, 1 SBN in the same arch, * 7 VP, we knit 1 SBN, 3VP into a large arch, and 1 SBN * into the same arch. Thus, we repeat from * to * to the last arch. In the last large arch of the row we knit 1 SBN, 3 VP, 1 SBN and finish the row 3 VP, in the first VP of the lift we knit 1 CC2N. Again, you should be in the middle of the petal.

5 row: 4 VP, 1 SBN in the same arch, * 9 VP, we knit 1 SBN, 3VP into a large arch, and 1 SBN * into the same arch. Thus, we repeat from * to * to the last arch. In the last large arch of the row we knit 1 SBN, 3 VP, 1 SBN and finish row 4 VP, in the first VP of the lift we knit 1 CC3N. Again, you should be in the middle of the petal.

6 row: 4 VP, knit 5 RLS into the arch, * 5 VP, knit 5 RLS-3 VP-5 RLS * into a large arch. Thus, repeat from * to * to the end of the row. The row ends with 5 sc in the last large arch and SS in the first 1 VP of the rise of this row.

We offer another version of a crocheted Christmas snowflake, which will come in handy in decorating the house.

Simple crochet snowflake # 3


You need to start knitting from the center, and you can do this in two ways:

  1. We make a chain of several air loops, connect it into a ring and knit further.
    we wind a ring on a finger made of thread and tie it with single crochet columns;
  2. We collect 5 air loops and close the ring. We knit a connecting post and 3 air loops of the first row.

We again make a connecting post and three air loops, closing the arc with a connecting post. To make it clearer, we periodically look at the photo below.

There should be 6 such arcs. Close the row with a connecting post.

We tie the first arch-arc: 1 single crochet, 3 air loops, 2 single crochets.

We also tie the second and third arch: 2 single crochet, 3 air loops and 2 single crochet.

We repeat three more times. On this you can finish the master class for beginners. We have already got an openwork little star. But let's try to knit it even more and more beautifully.

Start the third row with a connecting post. Next, the row report: 1 single crochet, 3 air loops, 1 single crochet, 5 air loops, 1 single crochet, 3 air loops, 1 single crochet, 2 air loops.

Repeat the row report 5 more times.

We have got an openwork crocheted snowflake, which can be starch and hung on a Christmas tree.

But first you need to choose suitable crochet patterns for crocheting snowflakes, and consider several master classes.


Abbreviations for the description:

VP - air loop;
CLO - double crochet;
Sc - single crochet;
P5 - pico from 5 VP;
P3 - picot of 3 VP;
SS - connecting post;
PRSP - half double crochet.

We knit a snowflake:

Please note that at the beginning of the row, instead of the columns, we knit the VP.

CCH = 3VP; RLS = 1VP.

We start with the ring.

1st row: * 2ССН with a common top, 3VP * x 5 times, SS;

2nd row: * (1SBN, 5VP, 1SBN) - in one loop, 4VP) * x 5 times, SS;

3rd row: 3СС, into the arch from 5VP - 2ССН, 2ВП, under the arch from 4VP - 1СБН, 2ВП

* (2ССН, 3ВП, 2ССН) - under 5ВП, 2ВП, 1СБН under the next. arch, 2VP) * x 4 times.
The end of the row - 2ССН in the first arch with which the row began, 1ВП, 1ПССН in the third VP;

4th row: under the just connected PRSP - (1SBN, P5, 1SBN, P3), 2VP, 1SBN - in the 2nd SSN, P3, 2VP, under RLS - SS. Half of the ray is knitted.

We knit the next five in the same way.

We continue to knit after the SS
* 2VP, 1SBN we knit in SSN, P3, 2VP, under the arch - (1SBN, P3, 1SBN, P5, 1SBN, P3), 2VP, 1SBN in the 2nd SSN, P3, 2VP, under RLS - SS *.

We tied five rays, and we tie the sixth - 2VP, 1SBN, P3, 2VP, under the 1st arch - 1SBN, P3, SS.

We fix and cut the thread. The snowflake is ready!


Another version of a crocheted snowflake may look like this:


Abbreviations for the description:

P6 - picot of 6 VP;
SP - connecting loop;
RLS - single crochet;
VP - air loop;
CCH - a column with a crochet.

We knit a snowflake:

At the beginning of knitting snowflakes, we collect a chain of 6VP. Do not forget about replacing the first columns of the VP:

  • 3VP are equal to 1CCH;
  • 1VP is equal to 1СБН.

1st row: 1VP, 11SSN, SP;
2nd row: (2ССН, 3ВП) - 6 repetitions, SP;
3rd row: (2СБН in the tops of the CCH of the second row, under the arch - 2ССН, 4ВП, 2ССН) - 6 repetitions, SP;


4th row: (2SP, in two CCHs we knit 2СБН, under the arch - 1СБН, П6, 1СБН, 1ССН, a three-leafed pico (P6), 1ССН, 1СБН, П6, 1СБН, 2СБН in СНН 3rd row, 1ВП, skip two loops) - 6 repetitions , SP.


We remove all unnecessary threads, fixing them, and cut off.

Starch the openwork motif, align and fix with pins, let dry. The snowflake is crocheted.

Video tutorial

To help beginners in such a difficult task as crocheting, there are always visual lessons that help to avoid the simplest mistakes and pay attention to important points that master classes in photographs do not always fully convey. Here is a video lesson that will help crochet a snowflake even for those craftswomen who undertake this for the first time in their lives.

New Year is a fabulous holiday, on the eve of which you want to decorate your home with original decor items. And while winter is still far away, there is time to master various techniques and, using an understandable scheme of New Year's napkins, crochet several original gizmos. They can become excellent original New Year's gifts for relatives and colleagues.

A crocheted napkin "Herringbone" will make any New Year's table original and unusually solemn. By the way, it can also be used as an original decor for pillowcases or even clothes. There are several options for crocheting such napkins. The diagram is simple enough to read.

The herringbone is made of sirloin knitting from thin dark green threads such as "Iris", "Lily" or "Snowflake". The hook is numbered 2 or 2.5.

The product is knitted, starting from the top of the head, gradually expanding downward, or from the "root" of the tree - then, as the tree paws are knitted, subtractions should be made. Experienced knitters can additionally weave a beaded thread - then the tree will turn out to be more festive and truly elegant.

Original napkin

The napkin consists of herringbone wedges and looks very stylish. Similar elements of the New Year's table decor are appropriate to use as substrates for plates. They look especially impressive on a white tablecloth.

The napkin consists of 12 herringbone wedges. The thread is "Iris" of green color and hook number 2 or 2.5 (depending on the thickness of the thread).

The central circle of the product is knitted according to the classic pattern, that is, the first seven rows are made round, as when knitting a regular napkin. Each Christmas tree is knitted in a separate piece, consisting of double crochets.

Paws-triangles are obtained by adding 2-3 double crochets in one extreme loop - this is clearly visible in the diagram. Having connected one element, consisting of 4 tiers, the thread is cut off. After that, it is again attached to the top of the next petal of the central circle and a new fragment is knitted, connecting the protruding edges of the paws-triangles to each other.

In the last - twelfth wedge, connections are made with the first and eleventh fragments at the same time, thereby closing the napkin into one piece.

The knitting of the product ends with five rows of a pattern corresponding to the pattern in a circle.

You can make a napkin more fun if:

  • use a thread with strung beads;
  • knit Christmas trees with threads of different shades - one in a lighter tone, the second darker, and so on until the end of the work (you get 6 light and 6 dark fir trees);
  • knit the center or edges of the product with threads of a different color, combined with the green yarn of the main tone of the canvas - golden, orange, white, cream, etc.

Knitted snowfall

Knitting is not a matter of course. Even experienced needlewomen can spend a couple of days making one product, so you will have to get down to work in advance. You can crochet a New Year's napkin during summer vacation, sunbathing on the beach.

Snowflake napkins will look very interesting. It is not so difficult to crochet them according to the schemes with the description.

Openwork snowflakes will serve as an excellent decoration for the New Year's holiday if:

  • put them on the table under glasses or cups;
  • starch and hang on a Christmas tree;
  • make a garland and decorate the room with it;
  • fix with tape on the window glass, making a fabulous composition;
  • assemble a tablecloth or an original festive poncho-cape from individual elements.

Having mastered knitting of baby snowflakes, you can start more serious work. For example, you can decorate a winter living room with a snowflake napkin.

It consists of 8 identical motives, diverging in the form of openwork tops of snowflakes... For weaving it, a blue Iris thread and a hook with number 2.5 are used.

The openwork of the fabric is achieved by knitting columns with one and two crochets, lush columns and paths from air loops, what can be clearly seen in the diagram.

DIY holiday

There is no need to limit your imagination to exact copying of the presented models. Having figured out the basic principles of crocheting, you can create designer napkins.

For example, such wonderful funny girlfriends-snowmen or a napkin with brothers Santa Claus.

Having looked closely at the presented works, it becomes clear that even the most complex elements are knitted quite simply - these are the same circles, ovals, rectangles and triangles from single crochets. It is only important to find the right application for them, creating, as if in a constructor, a full-fledged figure from individual elements connected to each other.

No need to be afraid crocheting only at first glance seems like a difficult kind of needlework... It is enough to understand the schemes and be patient, then everything will work out for sure!
