Secrets of a simple but beautiful knitting of a bath accessory

materials

Today the market is replete with all sorts of materials for knitting. But the choice is not so easy to make. It is especially difficult for beginner needlewomen. I will talk about the popular raw materials for knitting washcloths.

Bast is an excellent material. It is a linden fiber extracted from the inside of the tree and combined into threads. Washcloths knitted from natural raw materials:

• durable and wear-resistant;
• practical and environmentally friendly;
• wash well and smell good;
• have a beneficial effect on the body;
• well cleanse the skin of impurities and dead cells.

Thus, bast products should certainly be present in the bath suitcase of steam gourmets!

A good material for creating a bath accessory is a loofah. The washcloth is known for its rigidity, which is why it has an anti-cellulite, regenerating, cleansing, exfoliating and stimulating effect on the skin. In addition, the product has a long service life and lathers well.

Flax is an impeccable raw material for the manufacture of bath accessories. It was from it that red maidens and good fellows living hundreds of years ago made washcloths that were used in the steam room. The product is different:

• wear resistance;
• long service life;
• hypoallergenicity;
• environmental cleanliness;
• pleasant aroma;
• healing effect on the body;
• excellent lathering;
• good water absorption.

The linen accessory must be poured with hot water before use, as it is very hard.

A good material for the manufacture of washcloths is sisal - a tropical plant, the fiber of which is known for its increased rigidity. The bath accessory should not be used more than twice a week, because the skin can be damaged.

It has excellent cleansing, activating, stimulating and regenerating properties. He also does not know demolition, because he resists the destructive effects of negative environmental factors. However, if your man has sensitive skin, do not give him a bath item made of sisal.

DIY bath accessories

Ramie is an excellent material for making a "bath helper". What is this? Ramie is a Chinese nettle, from the fibers of which products of medium hardness are obtained. They are equally good for all skin types. The washcloths lather well and absorb water well. In addition, the raw material has an anti-inflammatory, cleansing, rejuvenating, protective effect. Moreover, the product has a long service life.

An amazing material for making washcloths is birch bark. The accessory can not only cleanse the skin, but also give it an impeccable condition. In addition, the washcloth lathers well, absorbs water well and dries quickly.

And, of course, the accessory can be made from artificial raw materials, which is not susceptible to the destructive effects of negative factors. In addition, the color palette of the material is breathtaking! But you need to know that synthetics can adversely affect human health.

As you can see, the choice is impressive! I think now you will be able to purchase material with which to tie a luxurious washcloth.

A handy crochet accessory with long loops

To crochet a bath masterpiece, you will need the following materials and tools:

• polypropylene threads;
• hook of medium size (suitable number 4).

Note! The hook should not have a too sharp head, as it can tear the threads.

I provide step-by-step instructions, according to which you can easily knit a wonderful washcloth for your man.

1.) The first part. Base knitting. The process looks like this:

• a skein of polypropylene threads is taken;
• the required amount of material is unwound;
• two strings are folded together;
• a neat loop is made for the hook;
• a chain consisting of air loops is knitted - the thread is captured and pulled through the loop;
• the chain closes in a ring.

2.) Edge. Tying the ring with single crochets. The process consists of the following steps:

• from front to back, a hook is wound into the loop of the ring;
• the working thread is captured and pulled through the loop;
• a working thread is pulled through two loops on the hook;
• the column of the second row is knitted through the loops of the first;
• the column of the third row is knitted through the loops of the second;
• the column of the fourth row is knitted through the loops of the third.

3.) The main part of "Shaggy". Knitting columns with a crochet. The process looks like this:

• the working thread is thrown onto the hook;
• a hook is inserted into the loop of the previous row;
• the working thread is captured from two sides so that a loop forms on the finger;
• two threads are pulled through the loop of the row, after which the thread is thrown off the finger (four loops should form on the hook);
• the working thread is hooked and pulled through the first two loops (two loops remain on the hook);
• the working thread is hooked and pulled through the remaining loops;
• a row is knitted;
• the washcloth is turned inside out loops - for convenience;
• columns with elongated loops are knitted until the accessory is the desired length.

4.) Handles. Knitted comfortable handles. The process looks like this:

• a single crochet is knitted into the first loop of the row;
• a chain is made from the loop formed (the length of the chain is the length of the handle);
• several single crochet columns are knitted to secure the end of the chain;
• the handle is tied in the same way as the canvas, or rather its beginning;
• two or three loops are knitted in the edge of the product;
• the loop is pulled out, the knot is tightened and the thread is cut.

5.) The final stage. The accessory turns out "shaggy" outward.

That's all! The scheme is simple, but the washcloth is wonderful. Bath accessories will be a great gift for your man. And if you also sew and weld, you will get a wonderful set for a bath. Create and rejoice, lovely young ladies!

Practical washcloth without loops, crocheted

• then they join into a ring;
• one air lifting loop is knitted;
• a row of single crochets is performed;
• two more lifting air loops are knitted;
• a row with a crochet is performed;
• in this way, a washcloth is knitted until the desired size is obtained;

Learning to crochet a washcloth: tips for beginners

The process of knitting, like any other type of needlework, provides for both the presence of certain skills and certain qualities of character (zeal, patience). Crocheting a washcloth is not something super complicated. To do this, it is enough to know the basics of knitting techniques for the most common loops. The washcloth needs to be knitted in the round, so you don’t need to calculate the number of loops and worry about the shape of the product.

To make a crochet washcloth you will need:

Small thickness hook (for example, No. 4);

Threads consisting of artificial fibers (two skeins of different colors).

Choosing a hook

In order for the washcloth to be elegant and with fine weaving, it is necessary to choose a thin hook. Remember that you will need to work with two threads. It is important that the hook has a non-sharp head, otherwise the polypropylene fibers will lose their integrity. Make sure that the hook is comfortable, then it will be easier and faster for you to go through the knitting process itself.

We select threads

It is better to knit a washcloth from threads that include artificial fibers, for example, polypropylene. If you decide to do this using one thread, then the washcloth may turn out without the required volume. Regarding the colors used, here a lot will depend on your imagination and creativity. If you do not want flashy color experiments, then it is better to choose threads of different shades of the same color. And if you want to make this thing bright, you can choose contrasting colors.

We start knitting a washcloth

If you don’t understand very well what the concept of “air loop” means, then you should not immediately abandon creating a washcloth with your own hands. In our master class, we will try to explain to you as simply as possible all the features of the process of creating a crochet washcloth.

We connect two threads;

We create a loop from them, into which we thread our hook;

We knit a row of VP (short for - “air loop”). To do this, you need to hook the thread, thread it through the loop. We complete this chain by closing the ring.

Having decided on a long chain, you thereby choose the width of the future washcloth. For example, having decided that the width of the washcloth will be ten centimeters, we need to make a chain of twenty centimeters.

Create the edge of the washcloth

Along the circumference of the ring we make RLS (short for - “single crochet”).

We pass the hook into the hole of the ring, grabbing the main thread, we draw it through the loop. So we get 2 loops on the hook itself. Again we take the main thread and draw it through these 2 loops. Thus, the RLS is completed.

The 2nd row is knitted into the loops of the previous row. 3-4 rows will be enough. The end of the row can be easily determined by the end of the thread.

We knit the base of the washcloth

We continue knitting RLS, making the loops more elongated so that the washcloth turns out to be voluminous. The process of knitting CH will be faster, in which, however, the loops should also be pulled out. So it's up to you to choose. You have already received instructions for knitting RLS, and we supplement CH with a free loop. We throw a thread on the hook.

Insert a hook into the loops of the previous row. We grab the main thread in such a way as to make a loop on the finger.

We pass 2 threads through the loop of the row and discard from the finger. There are four loops on the hook.

We draw a hook with a captured working thread through the first 2 loops of the 4 received. 2 more loops will remain on the hook.

We again draw the working thread through the remaining 2 loops.

We make a row and turn the product inside out with loops, thereby ensuring the convenience of knitting.

We knit CH, pulling out the loops until our washcloth acquires the required length.

We knit the final 3-4 rows with RLS, like the first rows.

Making washcloth handles

Having completed work with the main part of the washcloth, we begin to make handles for it.

In the 1st loop of the row we make RLS, and from the resulting loop we knit a chain of VP.

The handle will have a length depending on the length of the chain.

We fasten the end of the chain by making a pair of RLS in the middle of the tip of the washcloth so that the attachment points of the handle are located symmetrically.

Having fixed the chain, we begin to tie the handle. The technique is similar to the one used when creating its main part. Next, we do RLS, capturing each loop of the air chain. 1 row is enough for us, although, if desired, you can make the handles thicker. Having finished the row, we make 2-3 more loops in the extreme part of the washcloth for greater strength. We stretch the loop and tie a knot. Cut the thread with scissors.

We make another handle using the same technology as the previous one. First, we attach 2 threads to the edge of the washcloth, fasten it by making several loops. We knit a chain, fasten it symmetrically, knit the required number of loops around the perimeter, fastening them in the extreme part of the washcloth. We turn the “lokhmushki” of our product onto the top.

Pay special attention to the importance of uniform knitting and its uniform density. If something doesn’t work out for you now, it will certainly work out later. A similar principle of creating a washcloth "in a spiral" makes it possible to hide flaws. And already all subsequent products will turn out better and more beautiful for you, and the whole process will take much less time than initially.

A handmade washcloth can be a good present for a celebration. You can supplement it with original soap and a high-quality bright towel. And it is better if all of these things are made by you with your own hands. Fantasize and delight your family and friends!

Selection of threads and the beginning of knitting

A washcloth knitted from polypropylene thread can be used for regular washing or for massage purposes - it all depends on how dense and thick yarn you choose. Evaluate the material in advance before starting work. It is recommended to knit a washcloth for crochet No. 5 from a thread of the appropriate thickness - it will be easier to cope with long loops. With a certain skill, you can work in two threads - you get a more magnificent product.

It is acceptable to knit a washcloth for massage from undyed homemade sheep's wool. It is recommended to pre-wash the material in a warm soapy solution and dry it by hanging the weight from the skein. Such a massage bath accessory should only be used in warm water and dried well after use.

Getting started - an air chain, 1/2 of the length of which is equal to the required width of the bath accessory (for example, 30-35 loops). Connect the links with a ring, then loop to go to the higher row. Inserting the hook behind the jumper of the lower loops, make a row of single crochets. Again, lock the row into a ring and work three rows of double crochets, always doing a pair of lifting loops between the transitions to the next round.

elongated loops

Pull the thread;

Hook it with a hook from the opposite work;

Pull the thread through the jumper;

Knit with a half-column.

Please note: the stretched loop remains from the inside of the work. Continue knitting the washcloth, making successive alternations:

A number of elongated loops;

Pair of lifting loops;

A fastening column with a crochet;

Do either two rows of long loops, then a row of double crochets until you can crochet the washcloth to the desired length (for example, 40 cm). At the end of the work - rows of double crochet and single crochet stitches according to the pattern of the beginning of knitting. Always make sure that the number of initial loops (for example, 30) does not change, and the washcloth will have a neat shape.

washcloth handle

You have almost succeeded in tying the washcloth, it remains to turn it outward with elongated loops and tie the opposite edges with single crochets. From one edge, at the beginning of the circular row, make a lifting loop, knit an air chain of the required length and secure its end with a pair of single crochets to the other edge of the edge. Tie the handle with three to four rows of single crochets. Similarly, complete the part from the opposite edge of the washcloth.

I really like to make "family" purchases or gifts, that is, from the same series, but with different accessories, for example, towels (for a husband, for a wife, for a teenager), shampoos (for him, for her, for a child), etc. P. Easter is coming soon and, for spring cleanliness, I decided to update the set of washcloths in the house (for myself, for my husband, for my son). I decided to crochet washcloths with elongated loops myself. And, although I have never done this (everything my eyes were afraid of something ...), it turned out to be a nice set:


Hook I have number 4. I started knitting with a pen. 8 air loops (VP) (of which 5 loops are the width of the handle, 3 loops are the rise).

So I knitted 15 rows of dc. The handle is 18 cm.

So in the first - third row I had 42 loops, in the fourth there were 56 loops. So I gained a washcloth width of 10cm. If this width is not enough for you, add on the next row again in every third loop.

There are two loops on the hook. The finger is still in an extended loop. We knit two loops from the hook together. As when knitting with a regular single crochet.

So I knitted 55 rows and got a washcloth length of 35 cm.Now we knit a row of RLS and begin to subtract as well as added. 2 loops sc, skip one loop,2 sts sc, skip 1 st...and so the whole row (it turned out 42 loops). Let's go through them with another row of 42 loops of RLS. We begin to knit the second handle of the washcloth.

Knitted in two threads. So the washcloth will come out more magnificent and more beautiful! Here is a classic knitting pattern for a single crochet pancake:

So knit 14 rows. I got a diameter of 17 cm - this is the size of my palm.

Let's move the handle from one side of the pancake to the other. 3 VP. 4 CCH. 3 VP, turn the product over, 4 CCH .....

Everyone uses washcloths. Basically, they are bought, but due to the fact that washcloths stretch quickly, this is not entirely profitable. Today we will talk about how to crochet a washcloth for a shower with difficult elongated loops or ordinary ones - it takes little time, and the costs are significantly reduced. Our master class today is devoted to this topic.

Making things useful in everyday life with your own hands is a very good hobby!

MK for beginners in crocheting washcloths according to patterns

• hook of medium thickness (for example, No. 4);
• polypropylene threads (they are sold in the same place as regular knitting threads).

When choosing a hook, it must be taken into account that if the head of the hook is sharp, it will tear the polypropylene fibers.

The color of the threads can be selected according to your own desire and taste. To create a good volume of washcloths, you can take two threads at once.

We analyze step-by-step instructions with a description of the work

To begin with, two threads are folded and a chain of air loops is made. For a chain width of 10 cm (excluding elongated loops), you need a chain 20 cm long. We connect the resulting chain of air loops into a ring and tie the ring with single crochets. We knit 4 rows.

Pulling stitches: you can continue knitting with single crochets, but it will be faster to knit with double crochets, while the loops must be pulled out.

1. The working thread is thrown onto the hook;
2. The hook is displayed in the loop of the previous row;
3. Grab the working thread from both sides, so a loop is formed on the finger;
4. Pull two threads through the loop of the row and throw off the finger. Four loops remain on the hook;
5. The working thread is hooked and pulled through two loops;
6. The working thread is again captured and pulled through the two loops that remain on the hook;
7. When the row is knitted, you need to turn the washcloth inside out to make it easier to knit (example in the photo).

Then you need to knit with double crochets, pulling out the loops. You need to knit until the washcloth acquires the required length.

The last rows are knitted with single crochets, without pulling the loops.

The washcloth handles can be knitted separately and then attached to the washcloth, but you can also knit without breaking the thread.

We knit the first handle after the main canvas.

In the first loop of the row, you need to knit a single crochet, and from the loop formed, tie the chain with air loops. The number of air loops adjusts the length of the handle. We fix the end of the chain by knitting single crochets in the middle of the washcloth. After the handle is fixed, you can start tying the handle. You need to tie with a single crochet. Knit 2-3 rows. Upon completion, the loop is pulled and the knot is tightened. The thread can be cut.

The second handle is knitted according to the principle of the first handle. It is necessary to tie the threads to the edge of the washcloth, fix it. We knit a chain of air loops (the number is the same as on the first handle), we tie 2-3 rows with single crochets and fasten.

At the end, turn the washcloth with the shaggy side out. An example of the resulting washcloth can be seen in the photo below.

We create a do-it-yourself washcloth-mitten with a photo

This accessory is perfect for children. With knitted washcloths in the form of mittens, children will be happy to bathe, or use such a washcloth to help clean the house.

We will need:

• Acrylic threads of different colors;
• Medium hook, for example No. 4;

A knitted washcloth will be 18 cm high and 13 cm wide.

Step-by-step instructions for creating a product for the shower

First you need to tie a mitten, for this we collect 34 air loops and connect them into a ring with a connecting column. Next, knit single crochets, at the beginning of a new row, make one air loop for lifting, and at the end of the row, knit a connecting column into the initial air loop. The diagram can be seen in this photo.

• 1-7 rows. Single crochet stitch (34)
• 8 row. Four more single crochets are added on both sides. There are 42 columns in total.
• 9 row. 42 single crochets are knitted.
• 10 row. Two single crochets are added on both sides.
• 12 row. Two single crochets are added on both sides.
• 14 row. Two single crochets are added on both sides. There are 50 columns in total.
• 15 rows. We knit 50 columns without a crochet.
• Then we skip 10 single crochets on both sides to form a hole for the handles, the remaining 30 loops continue to knit in a circle.
• 1-4 rows. 30 single crochets are knitted.
• 5 row. On both sides, we subtract two columns without a crochet (26 columns remain).
• 6-10 rows. The decrease continues on both sides, two columns without a crochet. There are 6 single crochets left.
• Next, you need to cut the thread and stretch it through the remaining six loops and fasten.

We make handles and a nose of a bear and a pig

First you need to attach the thread to the hole of the ten skipped loops.

1-3 rows. Knit 10 single crochets.

4 row. Work two single crochets together five times. You will get five single crochet.

Do the same operation on the other side of the washcloth.

Depending on what animal you want to depict on a knitted washcloth, you need to tie the eyes, nose and ears.

For the spout, make a ring of air loops.

2 row. Work six double single crochet stitches (12 single crochet stitches).

For the nose of the piglet, tie three air loops.

1 row. 8 single crochets, tie a chain on both sides.

2 row. 15 single crochet.

Make a knot and cut the thread.

Ears for a bear and a pig or eyes for a frog

Make an initial ring.

1 row. Knit six single crochets.

2 poison. Add 3 more single crochets (you get 9 stitches).

3 row. Knit nine single crochet stitches.

Cut the thread and make a knot.

Examples of schemes can be seen in this photo.

To complete, you need to oblige the edges of the mitten with a crustacean step. At the end, tie a loop of 13 air loops in order to hang it on a hook.

You can get more ideas for decorating a washcloth-mitten with images of animals.
