I found these magnificent napkins on the Internet, when I was looking for rare interesting knitting schemes. And immediately somehow called their ZD.
This once again proves that crochet opportunities are endless, you can create everything that your heart.
The wonderful creations presented here are even difficult to call napkins in the literal sense of the word. These are souvenirs that are decoration of the interior and a festive table.
To achieve the effect of "standing", masters use starch or sugar. A sugar syrup is cooked and a wet knitted napkin is lowered for a few minutes to be soaked with sugar syrup, then they are painted and dried. And so after each washing. So they did our grandmothers and moms.
The napkins presented here differ from the traditional, these are modern works. But after 20-30 years, this will also become a rarity and vintage. After all, such things have a feature for a long time to live in the house and transmitted by inheritance.
We look, inspire, knit!
