From what yarn to knit a blanket?

Depending on the time of the year and how the rug will be used, we will choose the right yarn.

1. If you knit a children's blanket, for example, on an extract from the hospital or as a blanket in a crib, yarn is best used completely natural and hypoallergenic. For a warm season, cotton, iris or bamboo threads are suitable, but if it is cold, use cleaned wool, baby grass or children's acrylic.
2. If you knit a blanket for the winter, it is better to use cleaned wool or half-wool, a pure wool thread will be unpleasant to the body.
3. If you plan to use a blanket as a blanket on a bed or an armchair, the quality and composition does not matter, it's an excellent option to tie a rug out of yarn for such purposes, it will complement the feeling of warmth and comfort in your house with its colorful colors and without requiring large financial costs.
4. Do not knit a plaid of angora or mohair, these types of yarn are unpleasant to the body and often cause an allergic rash .

Multicolored plaid crocheted

In the master class, we will show an example of how to tie a plaid with a crochet from the remains of yarn in the technique of motives. The scheme of a knitted plaid is simple: we knit the necessary number of motives, in our case squares, then we sew them together. Let us show in detail how to do this.

1. We dial four air loops.
2. Then we close the chain in a circle with a connecting column.
3. Now we carry out two lifting loops and we tie a circle with a crochet with a crochet, we perform 11 loops.
4. Now we take yarn of a different color. We will make three loops of lifting, in the same loop we will fasten a column with a crochet, we make an air loop. Next, on the pattern under each column with a crochet we sew two columns with a crochet and an air loop after. So we tie a series.
5. Again, take a yarn of a different color, combined with the previous colors. We will make three lifting loops, in the same loop we will execute two more columns with a crochet, after we make an air loop. Further under each loop we knit three columns with a crochet and with an air loop at the end.
6. Now let's take the main color in our case white. We select three air lifting loops, in the same loop we will fasten two columns with a crochet, make three air loops and again three bars with a crochet in the same loop, thereby forming the corner of the square. Thus we knit every third loop of the circle, for the rest of the loops we repeat the pattern of the previous row.
7. Each next square with the color of the main thread is sewn to the previous one, forming the size of the rug you need.
8. Now we cut off all unnecessary threads, having tied them to strong knots, and our plaid, crocheted ready. Before use, it is best to wash and at low temperature iron from the wrong side.
