Crochet weaving for beginners. Beautiful children's and adult washcloths with their own hands

There is not a single thing that experienced craftswomen would not try to repeat at home. And their work is fully justified, because it is impossible to buy everything, and even if it is possible, then what is done with one's own hands turns out to be much more beautiful, more environmentally friendly and at the same time saves the family budget. So, for example, have you ever thought that even a washcloth can be knitted? It turns out you can, it is about crocheting a washcloth that we will talk about in today's article.

There are several ways to knit a washcloth:

• ordinary loops;

• elongated loops.

Knitting materials

You can knit such washcloths from polypropylene threads. You can find these threads at any hardware store.

In order for your washcloth to turn out to be voluminous, you need to knit in two threads, so you should stock up on another skein of thread.

You can combine several colors and knitting techniques, everything is in the hands of your imagination. As for the tool, a hook and scissors will be enough for us. It is better to choose a thicker hook, for example, No. 4 or No. 5, with a rounded head, since a pointed head can break the thread in the process.

Washcloth with regular loops

If you have never crocheted, it is best to start with simple circuits, like this one for example:

In order to knit according to this pattern, you need to knit a chain of 40 air loops, the number of loops depends on the size of the washcloth you want.

With extended loops

We collect a chain of air loops.

If you want to get a washcloth measuring 10 cm, then you need to dial twice as many loops.

Handmade products are cheaper than those that are on sale. In order to knit a pair of washcloths, you will need a skein of yarn worth 35-55 rubles. Step-by-step instructions for beginners will help lovers of needlework to master the skills of crocheting.

For knitting washcloths, you can use both natural and artificial materials. Natural washcloths are more useful, but they serve much less, because pathogens start in them, they can rot and mold. They have a maximum service life of 1 month, after which the washcloth should be replaced with a new one.

Washcloths made of synthetic threads last much longer, it is recommended to use them for no more than 3 months, although strength can be maintained for more than a year:

• Cotton and linen. Cotton washcloths are soft, suitable for children and people with very delicate and sensitive skin, or suffering from skin diseases. Linen washcloths have a beneficial effect on blood circulation.

• Polypropylene. It is considered a fairly strong synthetic material. Washcloths made from such threads lather well, are able to perfectly remove sweat, fat and dead cells.
• Leg-split. Polypropylene twine is more suitable for washcloths, it is very durable. But natural is also suitable: jute or linen.
• Sisal. Obtained from the leaves of Agave sisalana. This material is more suitable for flat massage washcloths, which do well with rough skin.
• Plastic bags. Knitting washcloths from this material is considered a utilitarian needlework that is beneficial and helps to get rid of unnecessary things. Washcloths tied from bags are suitable for people with delicate and sensitive skin. It is not recommended to use them when using scrubs.

• Nylon tights. Fragile women's products quickly fail and have to be changed frequently. Needlewomen do not throw them away, but use them for knitting washcloths, cutting them into strips 3-4 cm wide. It is better if pantyhose washcloths are flat.
• Nose supplement. The material is strong enough, suitable for any washcloths, even those intended for washing dishes.
• Viscose. Washcloths made of artificial fiber, for the manufacture of which pine or bamboo wood is used, are quite durable and beautiful.
• Acrylic. Washcloths made of acrylic, a synthetic polymer fiber, for the production of which oil products are used, are very durable and reliable.
• Bags. If there is no yarn at hand, you can dissolve the used bag. Suitable bags of sugar and flour, pre-washed. The washcloth will be durable and beautiful.

Crochet hooks are selected according to the threads used. It is desirable that they be with rounded, and not with pointed heads.

Ready washcloths 10 min. must be kept in boiling water. They will become more pleasant and will lather better.

How to crochet hard and soft

washcloth, crocheted, for beginners it can be difficult, but step-by-step instructions will help you cope with the task. The main thing is the ability to knit a magnificent column.

For a double-sided washcloth, hook No. 4 and any polypropylene yarn are suitable. The future washcloth can be both plain and beautiful multi-colored.

The sides are different - one is rigid, knitted along, and the other is soft, which is knitted across:

• 1st step - chain. The length of the future washcloth will depend on the number of loops cast on.
• 1st and 2nd rows consist of sc.

• 3 row. If the washcloth is multi-colored, then first an air loop is knitted with 2 threads, after which 2 sbn go, then a lush column. It is knitted from the originally connected chain.

To form a magnificent column, knit 5 dc and secure them with an air loop. Next come 3 sbn and knitting another magnificent column. This continues until the row ends.

• 4 row. The 1st loop is knitted with air, then sbn are knitted into the loops of the previous row. For a multi-colored washcloth, the last loop is knitted immediately with 2 threads.
• 5 row is knitted again with a thread of the first color, an air loop as well. Next comes the alternation of 3 sbn and a magnificent column, which is knitted from the loop of the last knitted row of the same color.
• 6th row is knitted like the 4th.
• 7 row. If the washcloth is knitted in multi-colored, the thread of the third color is put into work and the 5th row is repeated.
• 8th row is similar to the 4th.
• Continue knitting to the desired width of the washcloth.

To knit the soft side, you need to start working from the side of the resulting fabric. This side is knitted in the same way as the previous one, but the lush columns are made from three dc, not five. And they will alternate not with 3 sc, but with 2. Having tied the 2nd side, both halves are folded and either crocheted around the perimeter together, or sewn from the inside out. At the request of the knitter.

If the halves were sewn together, then as a result a pipe is formed and the holes must still be crocheted and then the handles tied. You can sew on cotton braid as handles. For softness, the washcloth is scalded with boiling water.

With extended loops

For beginner knitters, it is better to start with a flat washcloth, which will have elongated loops on only one side. Due to these loops, it will turn out to be more voluminous. They can be in each row, after 1, or even after 2 rows. In order to save yarn, loops can be diluted with single crochets.

A crochet washcloth for beginners (step-by-step instructions help you figure out the sequence of work) of a three-dimensional type is more complicated, but the proposed drawings will help you master it.

For a voluminous washcloth in the form of a hollow pipe, you will need about 300 m of polypropylene and hook No. 3. Like most washcloths, knitting begins with the closing of air loops into a ring (there should be 40 of them here).

Since it is knitted in a circle, the transition to the next row is carried out through the air loops that form the rise. In the same way they do when knitting other washcloths.

7-8 rows (more or less possible) knit sc. It is possible and ssn. Then comes the knitting of elongated loops (the knitting technique is shown in the figures below). Loops can remain both in front of the work and behind it. The elongated loops are knitted to the desired length. The work ends with the same number of rows of sbn (or ssn) as it began.

For knitting handles, 30-40 air loops are performed, preferably in 2 threads. The height of the loops can be made very different, the volume and “fluffiness” of the future washcloth depends on it.

Double crochets

Almost when knitting any washcloth, there are double crochets.

A very simple washcloth can be made using only them. You will need synthetic twine, hook number 3, acrylic or viscose.

Knitting in stages:

1. From the dialed 40 air loops, ss are knitted.
2. Knitting goes in a spiral to the required width.
3. At the turns, 3 dc are knitted in one loop, this will help to avoid contraction.
4. The last row is knitted in the opposite direction. Having knitted one of the sides, a chain for the handle is knitted, then the knitting goes on the other side and ends with the knitting of the second handle.
5. After attaching the handle, the thread is cut and secured.

With "knob" pattern

To knit such a beautiful washcloth, you should prepare hook No. 5, which first knits a chain of 36 loops, which is subsequently closed into a ring.

Knitting step by step:

1. The 1st row is knitted with single crochets.
2. 2-4th rows: columns, but already with a crochet.
3. Up to the length that is needed, the details of the main pattern are knitted - bumps. To form a cone, 3 yarns are formed, which then need to be knitted together. 2 columns are skipped, and another bump is formed.
4. The bumps on the washcloth should have a checkerboard pattern.
5. Knitting is circular. They finish it as they started: 1-4 rows are knitted in reverse order.
6. Handles can be knitted separately, then attached, or you can start knitting from one handle and finish the product by knitting another.

With spiral pattern

A chain of 47 loops is knitted with a double thread, which subsequently closes into a ring.

Knitting washcloths:

1. 1st row. Single crochets are knitted into each loop of the chain.
2. The 2nd, and all the next rows, are knitted with already elongated loops, knitted into each column. After knitting 6 loops, a thread of another color is introduced into the work, and 6 loops are knitted again. The 6 loops following them are again knitted with the first color. And until the end of the row there is an alternation of different colors.
3. In each row there is a color shift by 1 loop. The length of the washcloth can be any. Knitting ends with a row of double crochets.

You can make all the stripes in different colors, the width of the strips can also change.

Children's washcloth-toy

A crochet washcloth (for beginners, a step-by-step instruction is presented below), knitted in the form of a hedgehog, will not be difficult if this pattern is used when knitting.

Knitting step by step:

1. To start knitting, you should knit a chain of 32 air loops and connect the first and last loops.
2. The first 2 rows are knitted with single crochets.
3. Then 30 rows are knitted with "fur" (in the manner described above).
4. To knit a muzzle you will need White color. 5 rows are knitted with simple columns, after which 4 loops should be reduced in each row.
5. The thread is cut and fastened. The eyes and nose are shaped with threads of the main color with a needle.

The berry-shaped washcloths also look chic.

In the form of a ball

A crochet washcloth (for beginners, step-by-step instructions may only be required at the beginning of knitting) in the form of a ball can be made in a short period, since it has a small amount of work.

In order for the diameter of the finished washcloth to be 11 cm, you need to take 50 g of cotton yarn and hook number 4.

The spherical shape is obtained by knitting several columns into one loop. In this case, the formation of natural folds occurs.

The execution begins with knitting 5 air loops, which are subsequently closed into a small ring.

Another closed chain, consisting of 40 loops, is useful so that the washcloth can be hung up to dry.

All circular rows begin with lifting with the help of air loops (this method is described above).

The single crochet is replaced with one air loop. To replace the double crochet, knit 3 air loops. Finish the rows with a connecting loop.

Step by step knitting:

1. 1st row: in a small (five-loop) ring, you need to knit 18 single crochets.
2. 2nd and 3rd rows: in each of the knitted loops of the previous row, you need to knit 3 single crochets.
3. As a result, after the 2nd row, 54 loops should be formed, after the 3rd - 162 loops.
4. The 4th row is completely knitted with single crochets.

You can get a more voluminous washcloth by replacing simple columns with columns with 1 or 2 crochets.

From plastic bags

A large selection of multi-colored plastic bags, different in texture, is used for knitting washcloths. You can buy already used ones, or you can buy new ones. It is better to choose softer ones that do not have handles and ties.

You can choose any shape of washcloths. The main thing is to properly prepare yarn from them.

The package must be folded several times to one side, leaving about 2.5 cm.
The folded part of the package is cut into strips 2.5-3 cm wide, cutting not completely.
The strips are straightened in length.
Then the uncut part is straightened and the strips are cut obliquely. The cuts go from the cut of the 1st strip to the 2nd, from the cut of the 2nd strip to the 3rd and so on.
It should turn out like this.
The arrow shows the seam of the package.

Next, the strips are wound into balls and you can start working. For a washcloth, the size of which is 70 * 15 cm, approximately 30 medium packages are required. You can knit in any way, you can add elongated loops for strength and looseness.

For dish washing

A crochet washcloth (for beginners, step-by-step instructions will help you complete the product correctly) for washing dishes, you will need to stock up on 20 g of synthetic yarn and hooks No. 4 and No. 5.

21 loops are cast on hook No. 5. You need to leave a tail for later stitching.
All rows are knitted sc. The difference is that in the front rows they are performed behind the back wall of the loops, and in the wrong side behind the front. In the 1st row, 2 sb are performed in the second loop.
Sc are knitted in each loop, except for the last 2.
The hook must be inserted immediately into both remaining loops and a working thread is pulled through them, then one is knitted from 2 loops.
Next, an air loop is knitted for lifting. There should be 20 loops in the work.
After turning the work, 2 rows are knitted, (wrong side). The hook is inserted immediately into the first 2 loops, which are knitted in the manner described above, sc.
Further, sb is knitted from each loop. You do not need to knit the last loop.
2 sb are knitted from the remaining loop. And then an air loop for lifting.
3rd row is knitted like the 1st. Of the last 2 loops, 1 sc is performed.
The 4th row is knitted like the 2nd.
When knitting a plain washcloth, rows 1 and 2 alternate. In total, you need to knit 21 rows. If the washcloth is planned to be two-color, then the colors alternate through any number of rows (optional). When changing colors, the air loop for lifting is knitted in a new color. The last strip needs to be knitted 1 more row, this is for stitching the product.
There are 21 rows in total. It turns out a parallelogram.
The product is folded so that the threads from the beginning and end of knitting are together. This creates a hollow tube.
Now you need to connect the product. This is done using the thread left at the beginning of knitting. To do this, you need a hook of a smaller diameter.
The seam is best done from the inside out. Then unscrew the product.
It remains to pull the holes, like pulling the crown of the cap. This can be done with a running seam along the edges of the holes.
The product is flattened, the center is fixed by tightening and tying together the threads with which the holes were sewn together.
View of the sling from the other side.
From the remaining threads, you can tie a loop for hanging. You can leave the washcloth and rectangular shape, then the top and bottom are crocheted sc. The multi-colored washcloth looks beautiful.

Mitten - washcloth

For knitting creative washcloths-mittens, it is preferable to take natural materials. It can be cotton, sisal or linen. Synthetic yarn is also suitable.

Step by step knitting:

1. You should start with a chain, the length of which determines the size of the hand.
2. Knitting goes in a circle. Single crochets are used.
3. Cloths for fingers (or one finger) are also knitted in a circle.
4. For a child, a knitted mitten is made out in the form of some funny animal. How to do this is shown below.

	If the mitten is knitted from artificial yarn, then elongated loops will look more beautiful.

Round

Round (or oval) washcloths knitted from stiff threads are well suited for peeling. For convenience, they must have loops for the hand. The proposed scheme can be taken as a basis. To make the washcloth look more “fluffy”, an alternation of columns with elongated loops is used.

In the 3rd round, 2 are knitted from each loop. As a result, the number of columns will double. The 4th round is knitted without additions. In the following circles, the knitting methods of the 3rd and 4th circles alternate.

Penultimate row: 2 dc knit from one loop, one from the next. In the last row there is an alternation of 2 dc with 2 air loops. The final step is knitting the handle.

To prevent the ends of synthetic threads from unraveling, they are fixed with a hook, then heated with a lighter or candle. When the thread begins to melt, it is pressed against the product.

Do-it-yourself crochet washcloth using step by step instructions for beginners, will be a great addition to a gift to family and friends.

Crochet washcloth for beginners - instruction, photo:

A washcloth is one of the very important components that is necessary while taking a soothing bath or an invigorating shower. With the help of it, we cleanse our body of keratinized skin flakes, refresh, make it smooth and well-groomed. Of course, many of us buy this item in stores, but why not make it yourself. There are many ways how you can perform this element of hygiene with your own hands. At first glance it may seem that this is not an easy task, but in fact everything is quite simple. We will learn how to make a washcloth with a hook. You can knit it in different shapes, and then fill it with other material and give it a large volume. In this case, you do not need to spend a lot of time, but the craftswoman herself will be responsible for the quality of the work performed. A round crochet washcloth is knitted in a short period of time, but even here you need to know how to knit according to the pattern. A washcloth can be so interesting that you won’t find it even in stores. For example, many needlewomen like to make such products in the form of animal figurines: turtles, hedgehogs, cats. This is especially to the liking of young children who love everything unusual. And if you make a washcloth also in a bright color, then you can be sure that the child will be delighted with his new animal washcloth.

Such products can also serve as a gift for a loved one. This is especially suitable when you really want to do something nice, but the financial side is limping. So get ready to take the yarn left over from past products and start knitting something interesting.

Bright washcloth

Especially popular are washcloths with elongated loops, which look nice, are also easy to use and pleasant to the body. This master class will show how you can create an interesting, comfortable washcloth using a hook. You can also dream up and make it in the form of a hedgehog for a child. The knitting pattern is quite simple if you follow detailed description, which is presented below, it will turn out to tie this product quickly and with pleasure. When knitting this little thing, you must adhere to one rule: while knitting a column, pull out the buttonholes, and knit an additional column without stretching.

What do we need to work?

• stiff thread, some use thread for tying plants;
• hook in size from 3.5 to 4.

We need to make a chain of six air, which we then connect into a ring using a connecting column.

1st row. We knit 12 columns without a crochet. It turns out that in each buttonhole from the chain we will knit two columns without a crochet.

2nd row. Two air buttonholes, * one column with an elongated buttonhole, a single crochet column, to increase the row, we knit in the same buttonhole *. As a result, we should get 24 loops.

3rd row. Two air * one column with an elongated buttonhole, we knit a single crochet column into the same loop, a column with an elongated buttonhole *. So we knit to the very end of the row and get a total of 36 loops.

4th row. Two air buttonholes, * a column with an elongated buttonhole, again we knit a single crochet column into the same loop and then we make two columns with elongated buttonholes *. We knit to the very end of the row and get the total amount of buttonholes equal to forty-eight.

5th row. Again we make two air * one column with an elongated buttonhole, we knit a single crochet column into the same buttonhole, and then we make three columns with elongated buttonholes * and so we knit to the end of the row and get sixty loops in a row.

6th row. Two air * one column with an elongated buttonhole, we knit further a single crochet into that loop and increase by one elongated buttonhole - we pull out four *. Thus, we knit to the end of the row and we should get 72 loops.

The last row must be knitted with single crochets and do not add loops. It remains only to tie the handle - the width depends on the desire.

Advice! The handle can be made separately and then attached. But it is best to immediately connect the thread with a washcloth and knit from it.

Our bath product is ready.

We collect a pigtail of 56 air loops and close the pigtail into a ring (Attention! Connect the pigtail so that it does not twist with a figure eight)

The next row is knitted with elongated loops.

Knit like this until the end of the row

We knit the next row with single crochets. And so, we knit 14 rows (7 rows with single crochets, 7 rows with elongated loops)

Next, we break the thread, straighten the tail of the thread to the front side ("mohrushki") and attach a thread of a different color.

We knit in a similar way (7 rows with single crochets, 7 rows with elongated loops)

So we continue to knit until the end of the washcloth

Here we knitted the last row of elongated loops and then we complete the washcloth 3 rows with single crochets

Now let's start knitting pens. Without breaking the thread, we collect a pigtail of 65 air loops (the length of the handles is optimal, after several uses the washcloth will stretch a little) and attach the pigtail on the opposite side, and knit 2 rows with single crochets (back and forth). Many knit handles with double crochets, but such handles quickly stretch and tear.

The handle is ready.
We knit the second handle in the same way.

That's all, the washcloth is ready. The length of the washcloth without handles is 37 cm.

42 p.: 12 p. without n. main color.
43 p.: reductions: p. without n., skip p., p. without n., skip p. and so on until the end of the p., until 6 p.
