For those who are engaged in needlework and are familiar with crochet basics, it is difficult to create stylish mats for the house from multi-colored cords.
In addition to the numerous advantages of the most material, such mats will delight you with a bright and refined appearance: thanks to a variety of knitting patterns, you can easily choose the option to be harmonized with home interior.
I propose to start with the consideration of the characteristics of the material and acquaintance with some knitting schemes of rugs from cord crochet.
Necessary materials
The traditional material used in such works is polyester cords for knitting carpets. These threads are synthetic fibers, one hundred percent consisting of polyester.
Thanks to the spring structure of the material, the mats are obtained with elastic and stretching easily returned to the initial form.
Important! Cord consumption for manufacture with your own hands (approximate): about 800 meters will leave the meter rug, 2-meter - 2200-2300 meters.
It is worth noting the beneficial properties of polyester cords:
long service life and stability to scuffs;
The material does not absorb moisture, the rugs will dry quickly;
resistance to mold formation;
High strength of products;
Soft texture.
Many use a polyester cord with a core to knitting carpets: inside it is a thinner cord, wrapped with fibers. A change in the material is for the structure of the material ensures maximum wear resistance and stability to deformation.
Rugs related to such material will delight you and ease of care. They will not accumulate dust, so the dust pliers do not threaten you.
To clean the surface of the rug, it is enough to wash it in a washing machine at a temperature of 30 degrees, and after the washing is completed - to straighten on a flat surface.
Attention! Polyester rugs perfectly retain color even after numerous styrics.
The material of this type is an eco-friendly, non-allergic reaction, high-quality and pleasant to the touch, and it looks like natural raw materials, so the rugs will fit into any interior.
Cotton materials can be used for the creation of cocoic carpet circuits. Cotton cord also has a pleasant texture and does not require supramese. So you can search for such materials for needlework.
Before switching to the schemes and the description of the knitted rugs with a crochet from the cord, let's find out how much material we need.
For round items, we recommend using a large hook (at least - №4 or 5). Of the 800 meters of the cord, it turns out a carpet with a diameter of about 1100 m.
Please note that with an increase in the number of complex and volumetric patterns on the surface of the rug, the need for starting materials will grow. The weight of such a self-made rug will be at least 3 kg.
Description of work
Start knitting rugs from cord crochet is necessary from the center. But for this there is no need to create air loops: we suggest you to use another technique. Two times wrap the edge of the lace to the index and middle finger, then remove them and lie inside the desired number of columns (for the rugs following the example as in the photo below - about 20 columns with Nakud in the first row).
What to do next:
Three air loops (VP) for lifting, after which it is done to the end of the row four air loops and a column with Nakid (SSN);
Three air loops and 50 columns with Nakud;
Three PR and repeat to the end of the three VP, five columns with an attachment with a common riding, three VEs and one column with an attachment;
Three VP and 90 SSN;
Repeat from the five VP and the column without a Nakid;
once again a similar row;
Air loop and repeated from 4 columns with nakid, three air loops, four SSNs and one column without a nakid.
Since the scheme has a toothed outdoor row, your rug will look like a flower.
Any other schemes fit in the same way, and you can use even patterns to create napkins by changing their parameters.
If you want to link a semicircular mat according to such schemes, perform the following manipulations:
The first row is only with a half of the required number of columns with Nakud;
Expand the cloth, make three air loops with lifting - and start knitting the second row;
Do a similar procedure for other rows;
The last two rows are made without three air loops.
Thus, knitting procedure will not go in a circle, but by creating direct and return rows with hinges.
Pattern "Gorgeous"
We turn to the schemes of knitting carpets from the cord. To create a patterned embossed rug, you can use the "Magnificent" pattern.
Due to its texture, he will play even the role of a foot massager, so will provide a relaxing effect.
Rug "Grand"
Another popular version of the mating is the "Grand" scheme. Such a rug will have a diameter of about 2.3 meters. For mating you will need about 2,200 m cord. Weight will be from 9 kg.
Grand Carpets can be seized in any residential room: they will not only make the interior more cozy, but also replenish it with new bright colors and expressive ornaments. Like the previous knitting model, the Grand allows you to feel a massage effect on the legs.
Attention! Unlike ready-made carpets, woven on machines, manual mats of this type can be easily folded and hide in a suitable place.
By the way, the schemes of this type can be replaced by any other. You can even stay on templates for mating napkins - and create new, unique ornaments.
We invite you to start with the following variants of crocheted schemes from carpet cords:
Rug oval form
Grand mat or any other can be optimized for sizes and parameters of your room. Often, patterns are lengthened to create an oval shape. Download the crochet cord carpets for free on the Internet or choose something from the options proposed.
Such a rug has dimensions of 1.05 per 1.4 m. For its weaving you will need a cotton or polyester cord with a length of 700 m. The finished product will weigh about 3 kg.
Thanks to good density and resistance to moisture, it can be seized not only in the bedroom, living room or children's, but even near the bath or shower.
If you are known to crochet basics, create a stylish handmade rug for home will be easy.
In the knitting, you can use cords of bright colors and even combine them with each other to create more elegant and positive design. Such a rug will be an excellent gift for the newlyworld or otherwise, so you can please not only yourself, but also your friends and loved ones.
