These airy snowflakes made of fabric are a kind of embodiment of flight and lightness. Napkins perfectly complement any interior and make it feel homey. And of course, this is an excellent basis - a motive for knitting large elements, such as a bedspread or, say, a tablecloth. In addition, sitting down and starting to knit a napkin is a great way to relax and get a charge of good mood.

An awesome crochet napkin - it captivated me with its elegance! The knitting pattern is below.
You can lay such a napkin on the table or put a vase of flowers on it.
When crocheting napkins, the method of using motifs is very often used. Motifs are square, round, triangular. There are also more complex polyhedra, such as hexagonal ones, but they are rarely used.
In addition to all of the above, there is also a wide variety of napkin knitting techniques. For example, Irish lace. Or Bruges lace - a Belgian technique. Creativity in knitting napkins is like art. Only the master creates not with the help of paints and a brush, but with the help of yarn and a hook.

These are the options. This is, of course, not all that could be shown. But be patient, we are in no hurry. Right?
How to starch a crocheted napkin
After reading many guides on starching napkins, I came to the conclusion that they are hopelessly outdated. In all of them it is proposed to cook a paste from starch, but why such difficulties? It is much easier and faster to soak a napkin in wallpaper glue, which consists of starch that does not cause yellowing. It applies quickly and is not visible after drying. Ideal, in my opinion.
Make the solution thinner and dip a napkin into it, give it time to dry, and now you have a beautiful copy in front of you, smooth, without creases or curls. Wallpaper glue easily soaks in water, so don’t be afraid of ruining the product.
Video master class - simple crochet round napkin
To conclude the collection, I would like to show a simple and understandable master class from Anna Andrienko on crocheting a simple napkin for beginners. There is nothing complicated in the lesson, just what a beginner needs.

IMPORTANT: To get a napkin from rectangular motifs, knit not 16, but 20, 24, 28 or more repeating elements and connect them together in a certain order.
Filet knitting or fillet knitting(loin lace) is the creation of a grid, some cells of which remain empty, and some are filled. The drawing is created in a certain way, depending on how the grid cells are filled.
Fillet knitting is very simple, and the patterns are easy to read and resemble cross stitch patterns. The elements of fillet knitting patterns, as well as patterns for cross stitch, are black and white checkers, circles and crosses. Moreover, an empty cell in the diagram is always indicated by a white cell, and a filled cell can be indicated by a black cell, a cross, or a circle.
IMPORTANT: Before you start knitting a fillet napkin according to the chosen pattern, knit a small sample of 10 by 10 squares, from which you can evaluate the type and density of future work.
Knitting cells is done as follows:
- Empty – S1N, 2VP
- Filled - 3С1Н.
Any fillet knitting begins with a chain of VP.
Calculation of loops for casting:
For 1 cell – 3VP chains + 6 loops to form 1 cell of 1 row. In order not to carry out calculations, you can knit a chain of arbitrary length and start knitting cells from the beginning. Then the extra loops of the chain can be unraveled, and the missing ones can be tied up.
Video: Sirloin mesh. Adding and subtracting cells. Crochet.
IMPORTANT: The place from which work begins (starting point) is marked with an arrow on the diagrams.
Sometimes work on a fillet napkin starts from the bottom or the top. Often work begins precisely from the center, and from there it moves down and up. When you have to knit a voluminous loin, you can knit individual parts and elements, and then knit them together.
IMPORTANT: In order for a napkin knitted with fillet knit to be neat and dense, the loops must not be “loose” or stretched, otherwise the work will be uneven and the pattern will be blurred.
Knowing the decoding of the circuit (empty - С1Н, 2ВП; filled - 3С1Н), you can immediately start working.

To work, you will need thin cotton yarn and a No. 1 hook.
The “base” of the napkin is knitted according to an easy pattern using single crochet stitches and a VP between them.
It makes no sense to describe this process in detail.
But knitting butterflies is very similar to knitting flowers.
This pattern will have to be changed a little, otherwise the butterflies will turn out very large. Therefore, future butterflies will be knitted in single crochet stitches.
- Make a ring from 6VP.
- 1 row: 8 groups of 3C1H and 3VP between them.
- 2nd row: Turn the knitting and knit: in the arches of the previous row 2 times, 5C1H and 5VP between them.
- 3rd row: 1СБН between two groups of columns of the previous row.
- Tie the arches: 7С1Н, 2ВП, 7С1Н.
- 4 row: RLS.
The result will be a flower with uneven, curled petals. But by bending it in half, you get a beautiful voluminous butterfly in flight.
Place the butterflies on a napkin, securing them with a thread and a needle, and enjoy the beauty and tenderness of your own creation.

Whatever napkin you choose for knitting, have no doubt that it will become an original, exclusive decoration for your home. In addition, while working on a napkin, you can learn to read patterns faster and practice basic knitting techniques.
Crochet napkins have long ceased to be an attribute of grandma's chest and are actively used in interior design, for example in the Provencal style that is popular today. Even a novice needlewoman can master knitting napkins, since a variety of techniques allows you to choose the work that you can do. With just a few simple knitting techniques, you can create original decoration with your own hands. Those who have long mastered crocheting can make more complex, fabulously beautiful napkins using patterns or descriptions from numerous magazines.
The most common forms of knitted napkins
Crochet napkins come in different forms:
- round;
- oval;
- radiate;
- square;
- rectangular;
- diamond-shaped
The knitting method depends on the shape of the future napkin.
Round napkin
We start knitting from the middle. We connect the air loops into a chain. In each subsequent row, you need to make uniform increases, forming a pattern of circular rows.
Oval napkin
We start knitting from the central chain of air loops. All subsequent rows are knitted around this chain on both sides. Knitting occurs in circular rows, but increases should only be made on the rounded sides on both sides.
Radial napkin
As with knitting a round napkin, we start from the middle. We connect the air loops into a chain. We expand the canvas in circular rows, making increases in the same place.
The principle of knitting round, oval and radial napkins is not much different. You can often see needlewomen knitting napkins from the same pattern different forms, making this a variety of kits.
Square napkin
A square napkin should be knitted like a radial one, starting from the middle. To expand the circular rows, increases are made in four places, which will become the corners of the square.
Rectangular napkin
Knitting rectangular napkins combines square and oval techniques.
We knit a central chain of chain stitches. All subsequent rows are knitted around it on both sides. Increases must be made on four sides (at the corners of the rectangle). But if in a square napkin the increases were made at the same distance, then in a rectangular napkin they are added at the beginning and end of the central chain, thus forming two corners on each side.
Diamond napkin
The diamond-shaped napkin should start from a chain of air loops. Further expansion of the canvas follows the example of a round or radial shape. After knitting several rows, you should make decreases on two opposite sides of the napkin, continuing to knit the other two sides.
Sometimes, to give a napkin the required shape, it is knitted not in a circle, but starting from one side, as, for example, napkins made with fillet crochet. In this way you can achieve not only a square or rectangular shape, but also any other.
You can crochet a napkin using a detailed description or diagram. The schemes are image of the future product, made using special icons. Symbols are attached to each diagram.
- Start reading the pattern, just like knitting, need from the middle- from the central chain. Sometimes the number of air loops in it can be counted, or it is indicated by a number.
- The beginning of each row is indicated by a number - the number of this row. After the number there must be lifting loops.
- Sometimes the diagram indicates arrow direction of knitting.
- If the icons are connected to each other at the bottom, knit them needed from one point(air loop, column or arch of the bottom row).
- The icons connected to each other in the diagram at the top indicate that they have there must be a common vertex.
- Each next row should have more loops than the previous one.
It is easier for beginning needlewomen to use a verbal description of the pattern.

Good afternoon, dear needlewomen and all blog guests!
I have accumulated ideas for crocheted napkins, patterns for which I usually post in this post. I decided to update it today and show it on the main page.
I know that there are a lot of people who like to knit napkins. Someone may think that knitted napkins have long gone out of fashion. But I believe that this is not so.
The fashion for napkins has never gone away. Crocheting napkins is always relevant. After all, how beautiful they look on small tables, bedside tables, under flower pots and vases. Napkins can provide practical benefits: if you place them on various items, watches, keys and other items, this will protect the furniture from possible scratches and stains. You can knit large napkins for the headboard of chairs and sofas.
You can create original paintings from napkins. You can use them beautifully: pillows, T-shirts, and curtains.
Nowadays, round ones made of thick yarn or cord are very popular in modern interiors.
I made a selection of ideas in a video on how you can use napkins in modern life.
But I just love knitting them, I enjoy the process and the result, you could say I’m sick of napkins, I never get tired of knitting them, especially since I always come across some new ones interesting models, which are impossible to pass by. By the way, I’m making a video on my YouTube channel.
The diagrams can be opened in a separate tab, printed and saved in a folder on your computer.
In addition to these ten patterns and videos of simple and beautiful napkins, I also published them in a separate post, although they will also be interesting for experienced needlewomen to knit.
Delicate openwork napkins It is best to knit from thin cotton threads- ordinary bobbin threads, which are used to sew with number 10 or 20. The hook, accordingly, should also be the thinnest - No. 0.5.
You can also knit napkins from cotton yarn for knitting: iris, violet, lily, phlox, rose, pelican, pekhorka successful and others, in this case a hook No. 0.9-1.25 is suitable.
I made a description of knitting this napkin for those who find it difficult to understand the pattern. It . I enlarged the diagram and divided it into parts for convenience.
Crochet is old good tradition, which is still supported by many craftswomen. The popularity and prevalence of such decor greatly simplifies the search for the desired pattern and description for it. However, there is also back side situations: napkins, crocheted, so “bored” knitters that they became a kind of synonym for banality. The situation is saved by the development of fresh schemes and the search for new areas of application of familiar objects.
Types of napkins
Despite the fact that the first association with the word “napkin” invariably becomes an openwork circle, there are square, pentagonal and hexagonal, rectangular, diamond-shaped and many other shapes of napkins.
IN modern design a large one can be relatively solid or openwork) most often remains round, but squares are also often found. It must be said that decorative elements with right angles are easier to place on flat surfaces.
The basic principle of knitting napkins
Knitting work on almost any napkin begins from the center and, gradually expanding the fabric, ends with the widest row. The only exceptions are products assembled from several separately related motifs.
Both small and large (the circuit can be of any shape) requires the presence of several main components:
Depending on the specifics of the pattern, the main fabric of the product may include some elements. For example, the technique of duplicating stripes of a pattern is often used. They are placed at different distances from the center, interspersed with very openwork or, conversely, solid areas. This distribution of the ornament allows you to effectively expand the canvas while maintaining the overall harmony of the product.
Knitting napkins
This small napkin is knitted as follows:
- 3VP, *2VP, 1СН*, 2VP.
- 3VP, 31СН.
- *3VP, 1СБН*.
- 3VP, 5VP, *2СН with a common top, 5VP*.
- 3VP, *5VP, 1СН*.
- 3VP, *2СН, 5ВП, 2СН, 1ВП*.
- *4СН, 2ВП, 4СН, 1СБН*.
- *15VP, 1СБН*.
- *2Dc with a common top, 3Dc, 2Dc with a common base, 5VP, 2Dc with a common base, 3Dc, 2Dc with a common top*.
- *2Dc with a common top, 6Dc, 5VP, 6Dc, 2Dc with a common top*.
- *2Dc with a common top, 7Dc, 5VP, 7Dc, 2Dc with a common top*.
Dc - double crochet, sc - single crochet, VP - chain stitch.
The description from * to * must be repeated until the end of the row.
How to change napkin sizes
The technique of alternating stripes of patterns described in the previous paragraph can be extremely useful for craftswomen who want to change the size of the napkin. Individual elements can be repeated as many times as necessary or eliminated completely. An excellent example of how to crochet a napkin from several patterns is the product shown in the following photo.
There is a very wide strip connected by mesh. It is obvious that with its help the expansion of the canvas to the planned dimensions was achieved.
Circular crochet napkin patterns also allow you to combine different patterns. The height of skill can be considered the successful combination of several elements and the creation of your own unique napkin.
Large circuit and application
So big decorative element, like the one pictured below, has an extremely wide range of uses.
In fact, it's not even a napkin, but a real tablecloth. The size of such products depends significantly on the materials that the craftswoman chooses. The thicker the thread, the larger the napkin, but the pattern also looks rougher. Knitted from dense threads with tight twist, such a large crocheted napkin (the pattern is proposed below) becomes an interesting carpet, umbrella, blanket or bedspread.
If desired, you can complete only part of the circuit. By moving to the final binding immediately after the central part, you can get a napkin of a smaller diameter. The small motif without binding becomes convenient for use in pullovers, tops and bags. quite often placed on the yoke of a knitted dress or on its side.
For convenience, the napkin diagram is divided into two parts.
Central fragment.
And two stripes of patterns with binding.
Description: crochet napkins
Begin work by setting a chain of eight air loops. In the second row, perform 16 single crochets, and then continue knitting in accordance with the pattern.
The central part of the pattern contains the very popular “pineapple” elements. Here they are arranged in several rows and greatly decorate the napkin. “Pineapples” are good for expanding fabrics, which is why they are so often used in napkin patterns. The first section of the diagram ends with several rows of mesh, on which a simple pattern of “bushes” will then be placed. This geometric pattern is formed by systematically filling some grid cells with “bushes” of four double crochets. If you need to remove any element of the circuit, excluding this strip will be the most convenient.
The final part of a large napkin
The main decor of this large napkin there becomes a wide border running along its edge. The peculiarity of the scheme is that several patterns are combined here:
- Simple triangles made of “bushes” against the background of chains of air loops.
- Double crochet zigzag stitch.
- Small "pineapples".
- Empty fillet mesh with cells of different sizes.
All these ornaments are arranged simply masterfully. The beginning of one pattern is performed simultaneously with knitting the previous one. Thus, the developers managed to organically incorporate such seemingly different ornaments.
The patterns of formation of circular patterns and the principles of making decorative fabrics described in this article will be useful to those who are looking for information on how to crochet a napkin. Of course, it’s calmer to follow a detailed plan, but only improvisation can give you the feeling of true free creativity.
