For a long time I was asked to make a master class for knitting the ball - catch :) Master class will suit those who minimally owns crochet - knows how to knit air loops and columns without Nakid.
If you never knit, then watch the video - there is nothing complicated, you can try for such a beauty!
To tie such a ball, you will need the following materials and tools:
1. Yarn
Pretty thin, from 400 to 500 m per 50 grams. It is better to take cotton or polyester. If the weight of the flopper 20gr, then, accordingly, the length of the thread should be from 160 m to 200 m. In the photo - an example, which yarn can be purchased: lace (factory them. Kirov), white or color lace (Pekhorka), Canarias (Yarnart Turkish company) , coil thread micron 20s / 3 (gamma) or coil thread for stitching jeans.
The color of the yarn is better to choose the color of the main bead.
But I warn you if you have little knit thin yarn, it is better not to take a dark color.
2. Christmas toy Plastic ball diameter 6 cm.
You can buy it in the stores Fixprass, or at any store where Christmas toys have already appeared. Suddenly you will not find - it is possible in the needlework stores to search the foam base D = 6 cm.
3. Basic tools for knitting with beads - hook and beaded needle. The company of the company Gamma or Addi - No. 1, Klover - No. 1 or No. 1.25. Beaded needle 10 cm firm Gamma. But if you do not find such a long, then for the first time you can take a conventional beaded needle.
4. Now about the bead. Beads can be taken Czech No. 10 or Japanese No. 11. Bead colors you choose yourself to your liking and preference. The main color is needed about 30 grams, auxiliary - approximately 10 grams.
In my ball there are still beads. 3 mm beads - 36 pcs.
These are Czech or Chinese beads. They are usually sold strung on the fishing line.
How can I replace beads?
Larger beads. For example, 9 or 8 size (Czech).
Or you can even take the beads of the same size as the main, number 10, but contrasting color.
Please note that beads can be taken and multicolored. On the video, I knit a ball of another color, and there I just have multicolored beads.
In general, experiment with materials!
After selecting materials, you will need a scheme.
For beginners I recommend printing it on two sheets. Separately the scheme itself and a separate bead set circuit.
How to type beads, I told in the first part of the video.
If you have never gained beads on the thread, then you will need to get acquainted with one video lesson here and make an adapter.
After you get beads on the thread, proceed to knitting.
Just changing the colors of beads, you can associate many different balls in one scheme!
Wonderful decorations on the Christmas tree and souvenirs to friends and colleagues!
Naughty, you liked the master class!
