This knitting pattern resembles knitting. Great for everyday warm clothes - socks, hats, sweaters.
Home textiles
Some styles allow the use of a large number of knitted items at the same time. Such directions are eco and ethno. In such interiors, wool pillows, a warm blanket and a hand-made carpet coexist perfectly. Sets of items will look great; you can also use individual elements. At the same time, it is necessary to maintain balance and maintain a sense of proportion, otherwise the room may look too overloaded with knitted items.

Increases and decreases
Increases and decreases in knitting refer to the increase or decrease of stitches in a product. When knitting most products, you need to master this skill. It is used when it comes to shaping sleeves, necklines, and armholes when creating wardrobe items.
Volumetric products also cannot do without these simple techniques. This applies to toys, hats, bags, etc. Thanks to increases and decreases, it is possible to form areas of narrowing and expansion of the knitted fabric.
Lace
The shabby chic trend is strongly associated with lace fabrics and elements. Lace can be present on curtains, tablecloths and napkins. This gentle romantic style goes well with grandma’s rugs and other cute details of a rustic interior. Irish lace will perfectly complement the Provence style and add a special warm atmosphere to it.

Let's look at the description of the mating
We collect a chain of air loops, then pick up the working thread and pull it through the loop of the air chain. Notice there are two loops left on the hook. Again we grab the thread and pull through both loops, as a result there is only one loop left on the hook. Then everything is repeated.
The knitting should be loose so that the hook can easily pass through the next row.
Next, let's look at a description of the same common pattern, only using a double crochet.
We start again with a chain of chain stitches, to move to another row we perform three lifting loops, and if we move from the first to the second, then we skip three loops and another base loop and start knitting from the fifth loop. Yarn over and attach the working thread. There should be a loop on the hook. and yarn over. Pick up the working thread and pull it through. The hook should now have a loop, yarn over, loop. We catch the working thread and knit a loop and yarn over. There are two loops left on the hook, and finally we knit them together. Then everything is repeated from the beginning.
This type of knitting is one of the basic ones and is used in almost all products.
Floor mats
In modern apartments, traditional knitted runners do not lose their relevance. Such elements soften and enliven any interior, bringing homely warmth into it. The shape of products can be very different - from the familiar circles and rectangles to unusual asymmetrical things. A popular technique is patchwork. Round rugs are placed in the kitchen along the main line of movement, forming a beautiful sequence of products.

It is better not to use such options in the bathroom, since they react poorly to the presence of moisture and may lose their properties. But even in this case, a solution can be found. They will use plastic bags that are twisted into bundles and crocheted like regular yarn. Such items do not get wet, which is a significant advantage in the bathroom.

Openwork covers for various containers
Banks, bottles, boxes, candlesticks and vases are often dressed in patterned covers. Provence and retro styles are perfect for such decor. An ordinary jar will turn into a real interior decoration if you knit a case for it with a folding collar. The combination of boxes of different sizes, which are decorated with knitted items using various techniques, looks interesting. Openwork covers on candlesticks will gently diffuse the light, which will serve as an excellent addition to the romantic atmosphere. The candles themselves can also be decorated with patterned items.

New Year decoration
On this magical holiday, you want to decorate your home with something original, express your individuality and give room to your imagination. The New Year tree can be decorated not only with balls and garlands, but also with original knitted figurines of funny animals and fairy-tale characters added to its branches. A good idea would be to place special pockets in which you can put gifts and decorations. If you were unable to purchase a large Christmas tree, then you can create a miniature tree from green yarn. Then the Christmas tree is decorated with wreaths, bells and satin ribbons of different shades. This way you can create a special holiday feeling.

Bookmarks
The best birthday gift for those who like to read paper books is a bookmark, so we will now look at how to knit it, as well as ideas about what it can be and how to knit it quickly in 5 minutes.
The size of a bookmark for a regular A5 book is 23 - 25 cm, for a large A4 - 33-35 cm, so take this into account when knitting, ask your birthday boy or friend to whom you want to give a gift what books he likes to read.
But there is another option for a bookmark, when it is tied to a paper clip, then the length of the bookmark is not important.
Ideas
Consider: the size, color and style of the bookmark.
For example, for the Bible we knit a cross, for a boy it’s a smiley face or one-eyed eye, for a girl it’s flowers and hearts. Moreover, one flower and a bouquet at once look impressive.
The braid will suit any book and will look impressive in dark and light colors; it is important to make it long enough so that the tail hangs out of the book and the bookmark is really convenient to use.

Simple Crochet Patterns
As a rule, a finished item is created from several individual repeating elements. This way it is convenient to select the desired size of the product. The patterns are created using a special method, which allows you to continue crocheting from almost any point on an already knitted part of the product.
To learn how to correctly use knitting patterns, you need to know a number of rules for working with them. Let's consider the main ones:
- The knitting pattern is usually read from right to left for the first and all odd rows, from left to right for the second and all even rows. The execution of the pattern, according to the diagram, begins from the bottom up.
- The repeating element in the pattern is called a report. It is highlighted in the diagram with asterisks. During the execution of the pattern, the report is repeated as many times as necessary to obtain the desired width of the product.
- To knit bulky items, it is necessary to determine the knitting density with the specifically selected hook, yarn and pattern. To do this, knit a square sample 5-10 centimeters high. Knowing your knitting density, it is easy to calculate the starting number of loops for a product of the desired size.
- Yarn should be selected according to the size of the hook. The larger the hook size relative to the thickness of the thread, the more openwork and loose the knitting will be. Dense fabric is knitted with hooks of smaller diameter.
- The main element in the crochet technique is considered to be a post - a loop with a leg. The pattern is formed by columns attached to the previous row using different methods: behind the front side of the loop, behind the back wall, behind the arch (thread between two columns), in a loop, in a leg.
