We are approaching all our favorite New Year holidays, the mood rises, I want surprises and something unusual, beautiful ... And although the tree dress up while it is too early, I suggest you to create, or rather, to tie a pretty, cute festive bookmark Christmas tree.
Such bookmarks are an excellent alternative to traditional New Year souvenirs. Original, convenient, beautiful, useful (especially for people who do not represent their lives without books and reading).
Works are quite a bit, only the basic hook hold skills are necessary: you just need to be able to raise columns without Nakid. And that's all !!! But in the decoration of your "forest" beauties, you can show fantasy and creative abilities to fully.
So, we need the following Materials:
Thin cotton threads "Iris" (can be remnants) - green, red and chocolate colors;
Hook №1,5 - 2;
Sequins (gold, silver or just multicolored);
blasting gel in tubes (color optional);
Glue "Moment-crystal" (it is transparent, so no slurry traces leaves).
Work description:
Rows (approximately 5 cm in length) by columns without Nakid (st .b / n). Chocolate thread cut off. See photo.
Without a nakid and add 10 air loops to the left and right from the barrel. (This is the basis for our future green crown trees.)
Next, we knit 10-12 rows of st .b / n (depending on the desired height of the tree), alternately reduction in each row of 1 st. B / N on both sides until 17 loops remain. There should be a lower tier of the crown. See photo.
4. Making the third tier. (All of them will be 4.) To do this, on both sides of the last past number of the previous tier, we add 4 air loops again. I knack up 10-12 rows, alternately reduction from both sides of 1 st .b / n until 12 loops remain. (Similar to § 3.)
5. The fourth tier (last), it is also the top of the tree. Again on both sides of the last past row of the previous tier, add 4 air loops. Knit up, having reduced in each row of 1 st .b / n on both sides, until the sharp tip will be formed by means of a subsoil. (Similar to § 4.)
It remains the most pleasant and "tavern" lesson - the decoration of our beauties with the help of sequins, snowflakes, glitter, etc. As a decor you can connect the red (or any other color) balls that also "hang" on the tree.
How to knit balls. We recruit 2 air loops with a red thread, and in the first one to check 7 st .b / n. In the next row (knit in a circle) in each loop knit 2 st .c / n, i.e. Total 14 st .c / n Fix the thread, cut off. Little ball ready! See photo.
Of course, all decor elements can be sewed, and can be glued with transparent "moment" glue. It turns out much faster and do not need to bother where to hide threads - "tails". If you still took advantage of the glue, we leave our elegant Christmas tree to dry for about 1 hour.
That's all, you can safely read the book with a new bookmark!
Enjoy your creativity! Happy New Year and Merry Christmas!
