Hand Made will never go out of style. Crocheted crafts surprisingly enliven the interior of an apartment, add bright notes, and create a mood.
Mastering the weaving technique, craftswomen create original items of various formats, from miniature coasters for mugs to chic blankets, thin curtains, and openwork tablecloths. Patterns for crocheting crafts are easy to find on websites and the pages of women's magazines.
Psychologists say that homemade needlework relieves stress, distracts from worries, and gives positive emotions. Use your imagination and spend long winter evenings with benefit for your soul and home.
Several photos of knitted crafts that are easy to make with your own hands. Don't be afraid to pick up a hook and thread if you dream of learning how to knit.
Knitting tools
For classes, either knitting needles or hooks are used. These items are made from various materials: metal, bone, plastic, wood. Depending on the thickness, the tools are numbered, for example, hook No. 1 has a thickness of 1 mm.
This is important to consider when selecting yarn for knitting; the hook or knitting needles should be approximately 2 times thicker than the thread.
Depending on the shape of the product being made, 2, 4 or 5 knitting needles are used, and only 1 hook is required!
Mohair sweater models for special fashionistas 2022 2022
For the fall-winter 2022 season, mohair sweaters are a must-have in every fashionista's wardrobe. Delicate, airy sweaters will make your look more feminine and sophisticated. The variations of such sweaters are unlimited. These can be short jumpers and warm pullovers with a voluminous neck.
This sweater is also good because you can wear it to a party, for a walk, and even to work. When creating a delicate image, preference should be given to openwork versions of mohair products. By adding a strap to your sweater, you can create completely new and unexpected looks.
For daring ladies, models in the “bat” style are suitable.
For a bow with such a product you will need:
- mohair sweater;
- short pleated skirt;
- boots;
- knitted beret or turban.
The image will look interesting if the headdress matches the color scheme with the skirt and boots. The bow can be complemented with accessories, for example, a shiny pendant on a long chain.
Craft materials
Crocheting crafts is a pleasant and exciting hobby in many families. To get started, you need to acquire the necessary funds.
- Yarn of various colors;
- Hook;
- Filler (sintepon or cotton wool);
- Scissors;
- Glue;
- Beads, seed beads, sequins, buttons, etc.
How to learn to knit?
In order to master this hobby, you need to understand the pattern by which crocheted crafts are created. You will need a special hook, then you should learn how to hold it correctly.
There is nothing particularly complicated here, just imagine that this is an ordinary pen or pencil. The process begins with the first air loop, then you need to cross and tighten the thread. The entire subsequent chain must be connected according to this principle.
Subsequent lines can be made using different methods, so you need to understand the selected instructions. The most important thing is that you understand how the foundation is formed, and then everything should go “like clockwork.”
Knitting patterns and special badges
Since the patterns can be quite complex and difficult to remember, a drawing diagram is developed. Different types of loops and knitting techniques are indicated by icons, sometimes the pattern is described in words.
Patterns for crocheting crafts serve as an additional teaching tool for beginning needlewomen. They come in two types:
- For knitting straight fabric (in rotating rows);
- For knitting round or oval fabric (in circular rows).
The symbols for both schemes are the same, but the reading rules are different.
In patterns for knitting with turning rows, even rows are read from left to right, and odd rows from right to left. The row is numbered on the side from which it should be read.
If the rows are not numbered in the diagram, then, based on the general principle, knitting begins from right to left and from bottom to top.

Products with a pattern are knitted using this method. The part of the pattern that is repeated when knitting and called pattern repeat is indicated in the diagram under the first row.
When knitting in a circular pattern, the fabric is shaped like a circle, rectangle, square or oval. Tablecloths, hats, toys, and potholders are made using this method.
Knitting begins from the middle of the circle, and from here the rows are counted, going counterclockwise. With this method, the pattern changes from row to row, so the concept of pattern repeat is not used.
Long sweaters 2022 2022
Along with shortened versions of sweaters, elongated styles are also coming into fashion. In 2022, asymmetrical forms of such clothing will be popular. The most ideal length of such a sweater should cover the hips, and sometimes reach the knees.
Stylists advise wearing this sweater with this year's trendy stocking boots or over the knee boots.
A long sweater will look harmonious with everyone’s favorite leggings.
What to combine with a long sweater? Suitable for the look: long sweater, leggings, snood scarf, cowboy-style boots. A comfortable look for a walk or meeting with friends. You can complement the look with a spectacular hat in the style of the Wild West or a voluminous pendant on a long chain.
The world of knitted toys
The presented photos of knitted crafts on the endless expanses of the Internet provide an opportunity to enjoy the skill of needlewomen. There is a desire to try to do something similar yourself.
The flight of imagination is limitless: they knit Christmas tree decorations, various animals, symbols of the year, home furnishings, elegant clothes for adults and children.

Matryoshka
You can make such a craft with your own hands for a thematic exhibition, decorate the interior with it, or give it to a child or adult as a souvenir or toy. It is not difficult to knit; even a novice craftswoman can cope with the task. The main thing is to stick to the plan.
The matryoshka is knitted from top to bottom (from head to bottom). To work, you will need medium-thick yarn, hooks of the appropriate number, filler for the body of the toy, a small piece of felt, two black beads or ready-made eyes from a craft store.
Let's start knitting the base of the matryoshka doll:
- wrap the thread around your finger, knit 10 single crochet loops (sc) into the resulting ring, tighten the hole;
- in the next row we double every 2nd column, we get 20 pieces, we go through the third row without increments;
- at 4 we add 10 more yarn overs, knit the 5th evenly;
- in the 6th + 15 additional loops, from 7 to 18 we make the fabric straight;
- in the 19th we bring the number of columns to 54, the next row is even, then we add another 18 evenly and change the color of the thread to a brighter one;
- we knit 3 rows exactly, reduce the number to 60, from 27 to 30 we maintain the volume of loops;
- in the 31st, we remove 10 more stitches, 50 remain, we knit exactly 7 rows;
- in the 39th we reduce it to 40, knit 5 turns of the “spiral”, cut the thread.
Let's start creating the bottom of the toy:
- we start in the same way as the base - with a ring and 10 columns;
- we knit 7 rows, adding such a number of loops in each row to make an even flat circle;
- We cut the thread, sew the bottom to the base filled with padding polyester or other filler.
We cut out the face of the nesting doll from felt and sew (glue) it to the base. We decorate the figurine - we embroider on it a dress or an apron, a scarf.

Without much experience in such work, it is easier to start with vegetables and fruits that have a round shape. They are not difficult to knit, and practice will help you get better at knitting and prepare for more complex products.
Mandarin

- Tool. In this case, knitting is done by crochet.
- Orange threads. If you want to add a leaf and stalk to the fruit, you will need green and brown yarn.
- Filler for stuffing the finished product.
- Scissors.
Step-by-step instruction
The work begins with a set of 4 loops with orange thread.
- Knit 6 single crochets into a ring.
- Add 6 loops. To do this, perform 2 single crochets in each loop.
- Add loops every other: 2 single crochets in every second loop.
- In the fourth row, the increase is performed in every third loop.
- In the fifth, add in every fourth loop.
- From the sixth to the twenty-fourth row, knit in the round.
- At this stage, add in the 7th row to every 5th loop, in the 9th to every 6th, in the 15th to every 7th. The result should be 48 loops.
- Decrease stitches from the 17th row. Every 6 loops, 7 and 8 loops are combined into one.
- Further along the rows they decrease every 6th, 5th, 4th, respectively.
- 24 rows completed, time to start stuffing.
- When performing the 25th row, decrease every 3rd loop; in the 26th row, the reduction occurs on every 2nd loop.
- This pattern is carried out until only 5 loops remain.
- The thread is cut off, leaving a little to insert the remainder into the needle, pull the fabric and sew up the product.
The fruit is ready.
If desired, the stalk can be knitted from brown yarn. Make 12 air loops, tie them with a half double crochet, passing the hook to the third loop. The stem and leaf are attached separately.
A similar pattern is used when knitting an apple. You can crochet cherries, raspberries and blackberries from an iris-type thread with a thin crochet hook.
