I continue my story about crocheting a pincushion from plump round flowers with leaves. How to knit flowers for a pincushion, see the previous publication. And here I’ll tell you how I crocheted leaves for the pincushion flowers.
For work we will need yarn, in this master class I used half-wool yarn, and for the needle bed I knitted it from wool roving, and a hook.
Let's get to work. We knit a chain of 10 air loops plus one lifting loop. We knit the first row with single crochets.
Having knitted the second row, we turn the knitting (do not turn it over, but knit it in a circle). In the first cast-on row we knit double crochets, collecting them all on the hook. We will increase the length of the yarn overs, that is: we pull out the yarn overs in different ways, the first one is smaller, the second one is a little more, and so on. Look at the photo, I think it’s clear.
Having collected all the double crochets on one hook, we begin to knit them with single crochets, knitting two loops together. Having completed the row, we knit one double crochet into the middle of the chain of the first row and again turn the knitting in the round.
We knit the next row the same way as the previous one - we collect double crochets on the hook, pull out the yarn overs in ascending order. Having collected all the loops, we knit them with single crochets. There is one point here: you can knit two loops together, then the leaf will turn out even, but if you knit 3-4 loops together, it will be rounded. For creating flower arrangement you can knit leaves of different shapes with to varying degrees rounding, which is what I did for the pincushion.
We connect the 2nd and 3rd rows with a connecting stitch, do not turn the knitting, but will knit in the opposite direction. We knit blind loops, that is, we tie the edge of the leaf to go down - to the base of the leaf. Having gone down, you can finish knitting the leaf, or you can continue - tie the second side of the leaf with blind loops (whatever you like).
The second photo above shows the back of the leaf. That's the whole master class, I hope I explained it clearly and the description will be useful to you) Good luck!
A knitted leaf can act as an important part of a floral arrangement, or become one of the motifs in the knitted fabric of a future item of clothing. In any case, crocheted leaves are a decorative element that will always be in demand among knitters, because they decorate knitted items not only for children’s, but also for adults’ wardrobes. Moreover, in combination with bright colors or berries, the leaves will become a real highlight in the decoration women's accessories(hats, handbags, shawls), as well as all kinds of interior items ( volumetric paintings, flower vases, photo frames).
Knitted leaves are widely used in Irish printed lace; with their help, they create magnificent relief fabrics for further transformation into clothes of incredible beauty.
However, if there are simply an incredible number of master classes on knitting openwork volumetric flowers, then the craftswomen pay attention to the leaves less attention, accordingly, it is not so easy to find instructions for knitting them. That is why today we propose to consider in detail the process of knitting various variations on the theme of crocheted leaves, which our dear needlewomen can safely use in their creativity.
We suggest you start learning the basic rules of crocheting leaves right now! Moreover, nature gives us ideas for knitting leaves, and their various shapes and variety of shades make it possible to practice not only crocheting skills, but also the most unexpected fantasies!
Clover leaf: simplicity in detail
Let's start our lessons on knitting leaves with the easiest one to do - the clover leaf. Despite the simplicity of knitting, such a leaf looks advantageous as a decoration for items of clothing, especially for children's wardrobes.
To get such a leaf, it is advisable to take thin cotton yarn “Iris”, as well as a hook No. 1-1.5. For decoration knitted hats or making decorative interior elements, you can try tying it with a thick thread, we are sure that the leaf will turn out just right!
Conventional abbreviations:
- VP – air loop;
- runway – lift runway;
- СС – connection column;
- RLS – single crochet;
- Dc – double crochet;
- C2H - double crochet stitch;
- PR – previous row;
- PS – half-column.
The knitting pattern for a leaf looks like this:
We begin to knit a clover leaf by making separate leaves, which will be attached to each other as we knit, and then the stalk itself will be knitted.
Leaf: we collect a chain of 5 VP. We knit the first row with the second VP, we knit 1 sc into it, then - dc, in the last one. We knit a loop 10 C2H. On the opposite side of the chain we knit a dc and sc, completing the row of sl sts in the last row. VP basics. We cut off the loose thread.
By analogy, we knit a second leaf, use a SS to attach it to the first leaf, and cut the thread.
We start knitting the third leaf, again we attach it with a SS to the second leaf, but leave the thread to continue knitting the stem.
Stalk: From the free loop remaining after attaching the leaves, we knit 9 VPs, we knit 1 CC into each of them to “strengthen” the stem.
The clover leaf is ready! To complement the composition, you can imitate the clover color. To do this, we make a pompom from colored thread, knit a longer stem, and connect all three parts together.
Sheet based on Irish lace
Many craftswomen or are keen Irish lace, or stealthily glance at this technique, dreaming of learning the basics of knitting in the style of Irish typesetting. So, leaves are the basis of Irish knitting. We agree, knitting them is much more difficult, but the result is worth it! Let's try?
Schematically, knitting a leaf in the Irish style looks like this:
Let's start work
1. We knit the base from 13 VP.
2. Next We start the row in the 11th VP. Then we knit 2 sc + 2 hc + 2 dc + 2 dc connected by one vertex + 2 dc connected by one vertex. From the last loop - 6 dc.
3. From the next 4 loops we knit 2 double dcs from each loop of the chain, then 2 dcs, 2 hcs, 2 scs. We finish the row with SS.
4. There is no need to turn the knitting over; we immediately tie the entire leaf in a “crawfish step” reverse direction.
5. To give the leaf more relief, we knit a vein in the middle with thread contrasting color– hold the thread from the bottom of the sheet, draw the hook through the entire sheet with through loops. We continue to the loop from which 6 dc are knitted.
6. Now you need to remove the hook from the loop; insert it under the bottom of the sheet. We hook the loop and pull it inside out. We cut off and hide the thread under the knitted loops.
7. To get a leaf curved in the other direction, at the beginning we knit a row with forked stitches, and after 6 DCs - double ones.
Leaf with ribbed corners
Leaf knitting pattern:
In order to start knitting such a leaf, you need to knit a base of 13 VPs (12 VPs + 1 VP rise).
We knit the 1st row: 1 RLS in the third VP of the chain from the hook + 9 RLS in the next row. 9 VP chains + 5 RLS in the next row. VP chain from hook + 9 sc in next. 9 next VP with reverse side chains. Rows 2-5 are knitted by analogy, in the forward and reverse directions. Finish SS. Cut the thread and hide it inside the loops.
With the help of such knitted leaves you can make interesting decorative elements, For example, crocheted a napkin made of embossed flowers interconnected by openwork motifs.
Maple leaf potholder
The idea of knitting such a bright autumn leaf can be used in two ways - as clothing decor, an element of a large fabric, a mini-napkin or as an independent kitchen oven mitt.
To link Maple Leaf, you need to take 25 grams. golden beige and approximately 5 gr. dark red yarn (cotton, acrylic) and hook No. 1.5.
Step-by-step knitting:
1. We collect a base of 8 VPs, close it into a ring using SS.
3. 3 runways, then knit repeating combinations 6 times - 2 dc between the second and third dc in the row from the hook, 2 ch, 2 dc between the second and third stitch in the row in the hook. Next - CCH in the last one. SSN PR.
4. We knit further according to the above schematic pattern, in straight and reverse rows. At the end of the third row we break the thread. We attach it strictly as shown in the diagram to knit the fourth row. We do the same to move to rows 5-8.
5. Attach a dark red thread, knit in a circular manner using RLS, and do not forget to perform 3 picots over each vertex located on the sides of the leaf and 5 picots over the one located in the center. SS. Cut the thread and hide it inside the loops.
6. We knit the stalk - we attach the thread to the base of the leaf using a SS, we knit a chain of 20 VP. Then we knit a dc in the fifth ch from the hook, 15 dc in the next row. 15 VP of the chain base.
Lightly moisten the maple leaf with starch solution, iron it, and leave until completely dry. The mini napkin or oven mitt is completely ready to use!
Decorative mini leaves for roses
Cute little juicy leaves will definitely attract those who cannot pass by such miniature beauty! You can connect them now, and, with the proper skill, this process will take a little time.
Knitting pattern:
Let's start knitting:
1. Chain of 7 VP + 1 runway.
2. In each VP we knit the bases according to RLS.
4. Row No. 3: VP + RLS + 2 VP 7 times, + 2 VP + SS + VP, repeat this combination on the opposite side of the leaf. SS.
5. We knit the other two leaves according to the same pattern. We sew all three leaves together, sew them in the center in advance knitted rose or, if desired, any other crocheted flower. With such a bright composition you can safely decorate clothes, hair accessories and even home furnishings.
Crocheted strawberry leaf - juicy, beautiful, original
To knit such a leaf, we will need thin cotton yarn, as well as hook No. 1.
Progress:
Zero row: chain of 11 VPs.
A We focus on: In order for the sheet to be embossed, it is necessary to knit with single crochets, hooked onto the back half-loop.
Row No. 1: in the 2nd VP from the hook we knit 8 sc + 2 sc in one loop + 9 sc.
Row No. 2: 3 PS + 1 VP + 7 RLS + 3 RLS in one loop + 8 RLS.
Row No. 3: 1 VP + 8 RLS + 3 VP in one loop + 9 RLS. Row No. 4: 3 PS + 1 VP + 7 RLS + 3 VP in one loop + 8 RLS.
Using this principle, we knit the desired number of sheets and sew them to them earlier crocheted berries and strawberry flowers - beautiful brooch ready!
Such leaves, especially in combination with berries, look ideal on children's clothing - hats, dresses and blouses. But we encourage you to experiment and not stop there, trying to combine them with other flowers and berries.
Crochet Sheet Patterns
For experienced craftswomen who can easily understand schematic crochet patterns, we have collected large selection leaves of various shapes and varying complexity of execution. We are sure that you will definitely find an interesting option for yourself that has not yet been tried before!
I will show you how to knit leaves for flowers in this lesson. The material will be useful for beginner knitters and is suitable for adults and children learning the basics of crochet. In a previous article I described how to knit flowers, and you can look at this material.
To get started, prepare the material for the stems. It can be wire, a thin stick or twisted paper straw Or you can also use stems from old purchased flowers. The wire and stick should be tightly wrapped with green thread and soaked in PVA glue. We insert it into the flowers and bend the wire using pliers. The fastening must be reliable. You can glue it with glue if you have a different type of stems.
Now let's prepare green yarn, possibly in different shades.
For a simple leaf, we will make a chain of air loops, for example, 15.
We begin to knit around the chain in the following sequence:
- 2 single crochets
- 2 double crochets
- 4 double crochets
- 2 double crochets
- 2 double crochets
- 2 single crochets
- 1 air loop
On the other side of the chain we repeat in the same sequence
We get a leaf like this.
Narrow leaf.
If we need a narrow and long leaf, then we cast on a longer chain, for example, of 25 air loops, and knit only on one side in the following sequence:
- 2 tbsp. without crochet
- 21 double crochets
- 2 single crochets.
Here you can walk along the edge of the leaf simple columns to add rigidity.
Leaf with teeth.
We collect a chain of air loops, 15 - 20.
We knit progressively - in a reverse manner along the chain on both sides.
See the diagram so you can understand how to knit a sheet.
Add the stamens to the bell. We knit a chain and connect 5 loops into a ring and tie a thread around it. We turn the bell inside out and attach the stamens to the wire.
Once you have tied all the leaves, they need to be attached to the stem.
This is also important. Leaving the threads from the leaves, we wind them to the stem and carefully lubricate them with glue for reliability.
There is no need to place the leaves low, because your flowers will stand in a vase and simply will not be visible.
When we place flowers in a vase, wrap the lower parts of the stems with paper so that they stand together. That's all for knitting leaves.
Your bouquet from knitted flowers will not fade, and will delight you with bright colors! Do nice gift to your loved ones.
Good afternoon, today I want to show you how you can create flowers with your own hands using the crochet technique. I have collected in this article the simplest and most understandable lessons crochet flowers. Today we will crochet lilies, daisies, poppies, pansies, orchids, and I have also prepared an article on crocheting roses (blooming and in buds). I'll show you the knitting method narrow petals, I’ll give you the diagrams branches with oval petals, I'll tell you how to tie volumetric flower with multi-layer petals and much more. I address this article not only to advanced masters, but also to beginners in this matter. So I will explain as detailed and clear as possible even for the most novice crafter.
Here I will consider several ways to create flowers crochet A in . But before I start giving diagrams, descriptions, and instructions - I want Make you fall in LOVE with this idea. I want you to understand how beautiful crocheted flowers can be. I want to show what opportunities will open up for you when you realize that you can crochet any flower and even from a photograph (without a diagram or description) understand what technique it is crocheted in.
So, let's see what prospects the ability to crochet a variety of flowers opens up for you.
FOR WHAT PURPOSES are flowers knitted?
(which can be decorated with crocheted flowers)
Knitted flowers can be used as table decorations.
They can be simply placed in the center of each plate (as in the left photo below) or decorated with a crocheted flower on a napkin ring (right photo below),
Knitted small flowers can decorate a greeting card (naturally, the size of the threads and hook needs to be chosen smaller) so that the made flower is suitable in size to ours greeting card. You can also use such knitted flowers decorate gift packaging – tie it with a lace and glue a crocheted flower on top.
Your first knitting projects simple flowers can be used as a bookmark for the book you are reading.
Knitted flowers can be used as decorative elements for knitted jewelry. For example, in the photo below we see wide crocheted bracelets, decorated with flowers of the most different sizes and flowers.
Once you understand how easy it is to crochet a flower, you will be able to believe in your ability to crochet these bracelets.
Crocheted flowers can decorate a handmade bag (as in the photo below).
And if you knit flowers with small crochet and thin threads, you get jewelry-quality work and such flowers can be used as part crocheted jewelry.
The ability to crochet flowers can also be useful when decorating a wedding. You can make something like this from knitted flowers voluminous flower heart(as in the photo below).
Also bridal bouquet can be crocheted. This is a good alternative to fresh flowers. A bouquet that will never wither and will always be kept by the one who catches it in flight.
Can be done gift bouquets crochet with your own hands for family and friends.
Knitted three-dimensional flowers are used as decoration on hats and caps for girls.
I liked the idea of decorating not only hats with crocheted flowers, but also caps with a visor. A beautiful bright headdress for a gentle girl.
You can also find a use for the colors you have associated in your home decor. For example, decorate sofa cushions with them.
Or you can make this educational mat for your child (or a seat cover for a stool).
You can place knitted flowers in a frame in the form volumetric elegant panel painting. And decorate the living room with them. Below are a few photographs that illustrate this idea in the most convincing way.
Well, now that you have already seen the full potential of the beauty of crocheted flowers, let's begin our work and create your first crocheted flower. We will start with the easiest flowers to make, and then we will make more complex patterns.
So, the simplest crochet petal flower.
HOW TO CONNECT
THE SIMPLE FLOWER
(for beginners)
The most simple circuit flower - this is the MIDDLE(a ring of air loops tied with posts) + PETALS(alternating low and high columns).
That is, to make the petal look like a SEMI-CIRCULAR SHAPE, we knit low stitches along the edges of the petal, and high double crochets in the middle of the petal.
Often in a simple flower the PETALS look like double crochets knitted SEVEN PIECES AT A TIME in one chain stitch of the bottom row (as in the photo below). The end of each petal is a connecting stitch (similar to a single crochet, but with the entire stitch instantly knitted into one loop).
Having learned to knit a FLOWER using THIS PATTERN, you can use this skill to create cute little things for your daughters or nephews. For example, like these knitted sandals for children.
And if we want there to be a HOLE in the middle of each petal... then the petal row needs to start as a SERIES OF ARCHES OF AIR LOOPS connected around the middle circle. (In the diagram below, this hole-forming row is highlighted in red).
This principle is a ROUND MIDDLE + PETAL of high and low columns laid at the BASIS ALL PETAL FLOWERS. And every new scheme crochet flower is a slightly more complicated version of this principle common to all flowers.
In the photo below we have the same principle of tying a flower, but slightly modified (there are teeth added along the edges of the petals). One additional detail to the GENERAL PRINCIPLE OF THE SCHEME - and we get a flower of a different shape.
VOLUME FLOWER crochet
(how to knit multi-layered flowers)
Many crochet flowers have more than one layer of petals - when the petals bigger size peeking out from under the smaller ones.
In the photo below we see an example of such a voluminous multi-tiered flower.
(front view + rear view)
Here I am attaching a MASTER CLASS in step by step photos. From this lesson you can see exactly how such circular layers of petals are created. Every layer-tier of petals tied with threads different color, so that it is obvious how and what needs to be done to knit a three-dimensional flower.
And now that we understand the basic principles of knitting simple flower, let's start COMPLICATING THE TASK. And let's look at the flowers more interestingly.
Crochet PANSIES.
Simple description
Knitting will be possible for beginners flower Pansies (see photo below).
It is also knitted simply - a round center made of chains (tied with connecting posts). And the petals - with high columns of several crochets.
This flower has knitting in 3 stages.
The first stage is creating the middle (yellow chain, tie with connecting posts). Then tying the middle with dark purple...
Second stage - 2 purple petals are knitted (first 2 arches of air loops - in the upper part of the core) And then over each of the two arches we build up the petal itself (stitches with two crochets on the sides and three crochets in the center of the petal).
Third stage - knit three light petals - usually like other petals (the main thing is to divide the middle circle itself INTO THREE EQUAL PARTS - and tie each part in the shape of a petal.
Pansies can be tied and according to a different scheme - like in the photo below.
Or you can come up with your own design and crochet this flower. (examples in the photo below).
The next simplest flower is the daffodil.
How to tie flowers
crochet daffodils.
In the photo below we see the principle by which the daffodil flower is connected. Knit here first yellow (or orange) CUP... and then petals form from the BOTTOM of this middle.
Each petal is columns with different numbers of crochets... along the edges of the petal there are single crochets - and the closer to the center, the more crochets on the column. And in the very center of the petal there is ONE AIR loop (so that the petal has a sharp corner).
For example, a description of knitting such a petal may look like this - connecting post + st. single crochet + tbsp. double crochet + tbsp. with two double crochets + tbsp. with three yarn overs + one air + st. with three double crochets + tbsp. with two double crochets + tbsp. with one crochet + tbsp. single crochet + connecting stitch. That is, first we go by increasing the number of yarn overs - and after the center of the petal we go by decreasing the number of yarn overs in the column. And we get a pointed, oblong narcissus petal. (from the left photo below).
What if we want to tie daffodils? from the right picture in the photo above, then the description of knitting a petal will look like this:
FIRST HALF OF A PETAL(let's go up)
connecting post + 2 air (for lifting) + st. double crochet + tbsp. with 2 double crochets + tbsp. with 3 double crochets + tbsp. with 4 yarn overs + 2 air stitches (for a tiny corner at the top of the petal)…
SECOND HALF OF THE PETAL(we are going downhill, so it’s the same alternation, but in reverse order)
Art. with 4 double crochets + tbsp. with 3 double crochets + tbsp. with 2 double crochets + treble crochet + connecting
Very funny idea give someone a bouquet of live daffodils, among which voluminous ones are unobtrusively lost knitted flowers– I think the recipient will not immediately notice that not all flowers are made by the hands of nature.
How to crochet
FLOWERS LILY OF THE LILY
And since we have learned how to knit a central cup for daffodils, we can also knit a bouquet of lilies of the valley - the cups of lily of the valley flowers are knitted in exactly the same way as the cups inside the daffodil. We also knit in the round... and add so many loops so that our circle is not flat, but wrapped in a deep cup.
All that remains is to link wide leaf of lily of the valley. Below in the photo I attach a pattern for knitting a lily of the valley leaf.
And here is another pattern for knitting a lily of the valley flower . Already with a large number of rows in the flower cup, because the threads are thin and the hook size is smaller. But the principle is clear from the photo, without any diagrams - we knit a flower cup and along the edge of the cup we knit small ARCHES OF LACE to create a ruffled border along the edge of the flower(The EDGE is knitted according to the same petal principle of adding and decreasing yarn overs).
How to tie flowers
WITH NARROW PETALS.
In the diagram below we see the principle by which flowers with fringed petals are created. Every petal is like this knitted flower This chain of air loops UP and descent from the connecting posts ACROSS THIS CHAIN DOWN to the middle of the flower.
Chamomile petals They are knitted according to the same principle - only each petal is a double passage of columns - two rows on each side of the petal.
And as can be seen on photographed master class– the petals are not knitted around the already finished center. But simply into a chain of air loops - AND ONLY THEN this chain is folded into a circle and the petals move apart in a circle like rays.
You yourself can choose the SHAPE of the PETALS, decide how many of these petals should be around the middle, independently determine the LENGTH of the petal...
In any case, you will get a cute daisy... and there is no need to be afraid, that you are knitting differently than in the pattern. You are your own master– try it yourself and see what happens. More petals mean they fit more tightly (picture 2 below). Fewer petals means there will be a distance between them (picture 1 photo below).
And when you learn how to crochet daisies, you can then turn them into elegant coasters - simply by tying them in a circle with contrasting colors green(as in the photo below).
Or you can crochet a flowerpot with daisies. Buy a small flower pot, sew a small volumetric pillow so that it fits tightly inside the flowerpot. Then tie daisies and green branches and sew them on top of the pillow stuck in the pot. For greater heaviness and stability, you can pour sand into the pillow (a weighted flowerpot will not fall).
They knit according to the same “chamomile” principle. lily petals. Just the beginning of knitting NOT FLAT MIDDLE, and the volumetric middle in the shape of a cup. And then petals are tied around this cup like a chamomile. And we get a lily as in the photo below.
Knitted flowers
WITH WIDE PETALS.
Flowers with wide petals include poppies and orchids. Let's look at how to knit such flowers.
In the photo below you can see that first THREE petals are knitted around the black center. And then the hook goes under them and the NEXT THREE petals are knitted on the back side of the flower (so that they look out from behind the first petals).
But it can be done poppies with flat petals in one row. Like in this photo below (it will still be beautiful).
You can make the petals climbed on top of each other. This overlap of petals on top of each other happens on its own - because each new petal begins its knitting from the middle. First, the middle (central part) of the petal is knitted, and then its edges are knitted around this middle. And that’s why the edges stick out by themselves - overlapping with the neighboring petal. The diagram below shows how such a flower is knitted.
And here is a pattern for knitting wide petals of an orchid flower.
Here are larger white orchid flowers from the photo above.
If you don't have a pattern, but want to knit the right flower, then you need to start with a PAPER PATTERN. First we cut out petals from paper the desired shape, then we put them in paper flower. And if we like the image of this flower - its size and proportions of the petals relative to each other - then we can start knitting.
The orchid in the photo above has 2 lower petals and the central petals are simple ovals (the diagram is in our article).
But the two side petals have the shape of “ears”. They knit easily. You need to look at the photo carefully and then you will understand how it moves master's hand, where is the beginning of mating? where is the continuation, and what does he do at the final stage.
The ear petal is knitted in 3 steps.
1 step (red)- a straight chain of air loops (there is a red line in the picture - I counted 12 air loops in a row)
Step 2 (light green)- around this chain, single crochets are knitted in a circle to make an even oval (in the picture there is a light green line of rows). At the point where our oval turns, we knit 2 stitches into one stitch of the bottom row (there is a diagram of the oval in this article).
Step 3 (green)- now you need the EARS to grow on the left and right of the even oval... that is, the expansion of the orchid petals. First we knit the “lower ear” - see how the dark green line goes to the bottom - and how it zigzags to the left, increasing the rows of this ear to the right.
And then we go upstairs and knit the upper ear - with the same zigzag arrangement of rows...
Finally, we tie the entire petal in a circle so that it has a smooth edge.
RUSH METHOD
For knitting flowers.
If you knit a simple circle - but add in each row a large number of loops...then ours the circle will begin to wrinkle and worry- and we will get a round frilled flower. Like, for example, the voluminous poppy flower in the photo below. It does not have individual petals. This is just a circle - which itself has twisted into waves, due to the excessive addition of columns in each row.
Try it yourself - it's easy any number of columns- for example, three stitches in each loop of the previous row... or four (so that the wave is steeper)... or five stitches in each loop (so that the wave spins very tightly). Here in the photo below is an example of a poppy with a slight waviness on the petals.
Or you can make the waviness of the petals VERY STRONG. According to this principle of strong twisting, waves are knitted voluminous Clove flowers...
First, a wrinkled wavy circle is knitted. Then another circle. And maybe one more. And then these circles are folded together (not on top of each other, but next to each other) - into a wrinkled bunch with the edges UP. This sponge bundle is stuffed inside the sepal - the green calyx of the inflorescence. And it turns out to be a crocheted carnation flower.
FLOWERS CROCHET
with OVAL petals
You can still learn crochet ovals. And then we will be able to knit flowers with oval petals and leaves. For example, these knitted ones tulips or crocuses, or water lilies.
For such oval-petaled flowers, you need to learn how to crochet an oval. It is knitted simply - according to this pattern. The beginning of the diagram is the central row - a chain of air balloons and the first row of columns on it.
That is, first we knit the CENTER ROW of the oval... and then the knitting goes in a circle - around this central row.
If we want our oval to NARROW on one side, and on the other side it EXPANDED - then we can knit fewer stitches on the turn on one edge - and more stitches on the other edge of the oval.
This is how it is shown in the diagram below.
Pointed LEAVES are knitted using the same principle. Let's look at crocheting leaves. Let's look at a master class on knitting a heart-shaped petal.
LEAVES FOR FLOWERS CROCHET
(master class and diagrams for beginners)
Below I am attaching a photo tutorial for crocheting a sharp leaf (it is suitable for lilacs, roses and other crocheted flowers).
Knitting this leaf starts from the center (like the oval) - the row should have an arched shape, so we start knitting with low stitches (single crochet) and in the middle of the row we knit high stitches (with 2 and 3 crochets).
Or such a sharp heart-shaped leaf can be knitted in a circle... that is, first we make a ring of balloons. And then in a circle we alternate single crochets (in the lower part of the leaf) and stitches with a large number of crochets (in the elongated part of the leaf. And then in a circle we make a tie around the entire leaf (to create a green edge-edge.
And below is a diagram of a clover leaf.
I also collected photographs of leaves different forms... where you can see exactly how they are knitted.
The master class below shows how to create one of the complex crocheted leaves.
Here are some ideas for crocheting flowers and leaves. I hope the master classes and patterns posted here will help you understand and feel that crocheting flowers with your own hands is simple, it’s quick, and there’s so much room for imagination.
Fall in love with this idea... Come up with a hat with flowers for your daughter, booties with flowers for your granddaughter. Create something warm and beautiful for your loved ones. And may everything work out for you.
Olga Klishevskaya, especially for the site
This page contains all the videos on knitting leaves from the paid and free categories.
Nature itself gives us ideas for crocheting leaves. All kinds of shapes and variety of shades and colors give us the opportunity to fully demonstrate our skills, experience and imagination in crocheting leaves:
- 1. All leaves can be divided into two large groups- These are flat and voluminous leaves. TO flat leaves You can include crocheted leaves in video lessons 1,2,3,4,5,6,7,8,9,10,12,13,15,18,20,21,22,23,24,25,26 ,27,30,31,38,54.
In our video lessons you will also learn how to perform voluminous leaves, and learn to use all the techniques you know in crocheting: twisted and entwined posts, complex posts, bags, learn about interesting bindings and bindings.
Volumetric knitted leaves are presented in lessons 17,28,29,32,33,39,40,47,46,45,48,49,50,51,52,53,55. - 2. Also, when knitting fancy leaves, you can make simple and beautiful spirals, and such leaves are presented in lessons 52,49,40. Leaves with bindings can be seen in lessons 28,33,45,47,46,48,50,51,53,55.
- 3. A special place in the topic: “Knitted leaves” is occupied by leaves associated with beads and beads.
In these lessons you will learn how to knit various stitches with beads and beads and perform non-standard techniques. Leaves with beads and beads are presented in lessons 55,54,35,36,37,34.
All video lessons on crocheting leaves are understandable for both experienced knitters and beginner knitters.
