Easter has been the main thing for many centuries religious holiday for Orthodox Christians. Fillet napkins with Easter themes have long been considered a wonderful gift for the Bright Resurrection of Christ, and were also used to decorate the table where the festive meal was held. They are good because any, even an inexperienced needlewoman can crochet Easter napkins with her own hands: the patterns can be very different, from the Christ is Risen napkins to funny multi-colored products with the image of painted eggs or Easter bunnies.

For easter decorations crochet is used in the fillet technique, imitating the lace of the same name. This type of needlework is very popular, since it does not require experience and special skills, thanks to which it is available to anyone who wishes. All you have to do is master a few basic tricks and practice a little.

After that, you can easily repeat almost any pattern shown in the diagram. In addition, such napkins are strong enough and hold their shape well, which allows them to be used to decorate the table. For an Easter napkin, it is best to choose natural yarn from cotton, linen, viscose and other combined types of yarn containing these fibers.

The fillet technique is based on working with a mesh and is an alternation of its empty and filled cells. Products are made according to schemes, where dark squares are filled cells, and light ones are empty. This drawing is quite simple.

If you have never crocheted, then before you start working on an Easter napkin, we recommend that you practice a little and knit a small piece like a checkerboard. This will help you train your hand and work out the principle of moving from empty cells to filled ones. In addition, trial knitting will make it possible to understand all the nuances of this process.

Square and round napkins

Easter napkins are usually made in two types: square and rounded, in the shape of an egg. The former are called "Easter towels". They are large enough (most often 64 × 31 cm), have rectangular shape and are made of light monochromatic yarn. On such napkins, in addition to the pattern, the letters "ХВ" are often depicted, as well as the silhouette of an Easter cake and a burning candle.

It is considered one of the simplest. It is recommended to start the work from the bottom edge and go to the top of the picture. Then, when the product is almost ready, its edges are tied with a curly border. With such an Easter towel, you can beautifully decorate a wicker basket or a dish with traditional festive treats: painted eggs and Easter cakes.

Round multi-colored napkins with. They look like several crocheted eggs, which, when combined into one napkin, form a pattern. Such fillet lace is considered more complicated, since many novice needlewomen do not understand the principle by which they need to start knitting a round mesh. In addition, it is quite difficult to maintain the correct silhouette here. At the same time, the plus of such products is that all their elements are made separately, and then fastened together. That is, if you make a mistake or get tangled up in loops, you do not have to dissolve all the work: it will be enough to redo just one small fragment.

Knitting a round napkin goes from the center to the outside edges. Make a ring of loops, the number of which depends on the pattern. Further, in accordance with the instructions, you need to knit the required number of columns coming from this ring. They are knitted without a crochet and with one lifting loop. Then continue working in a circle, gradually increasing the size of the sectors.

After you knit the center circle, you will need to separately make several eggs from the multi-colored yarn. Here you also need to start knitting from the center, but in the process of work it is very important to create an oval outline of the product in order to give it a resemblance to the silhouette of an egg. Then all that remains is the beautiful to connect all the elements.

How to properly starch napkins

Ready product crocheted does not always look good and hold its shape, so it is better to starch it. This must be done correctly, otherwise the napkin may completely lose its presentation and deform. The procedure is as follows.

  1. Place a flat tablespoon of starch in a wide, heat-resistant container.
  2. Add some water. You need so much liquid to bring the powder to a gruel state.
  3. Add a liter of boiling water to the container and put it on gas. The resulting mass should boil over low heat for about 5 minutes with constant stirring. As a result, you should get a thickened homogeneous solution, similar to jelly. Do not be intimidated by the cloudy appearance of the liquid, it should be so.
  4. Remove the solution from the heat and dip a napkin into it. If you knit it with thick threads, then keep the product in starch for 15 minutes, if with medium threads - 10. A napkin knitted from thin threads should be starchy for 5-6 minutes.
  5. Remove the product from the solution, spread it on a flat surface and let it dry.

If you are working not with a rectangular, but with a round napkin, consisting of many elements, then it is advisable to dry it in a special way. Spread the product on a flat surface and carefully secure the edges of the napkin with needles. So it will definitely not be deformed and will take on the correct shape.

Holiday Christ's resurrection traditionally, it is a family holiday, when all relatives gather at the festive table. Housewives bake Easter cakes and display baskets with dyes, pies, candles. All this variety looks very harmonious on textiles. self made, an example of which would be a crocheted Easter napkin.

Crochet light green Easter napkin scheme

Preparing for the Easter celebration is time-consuming. In order to have time to complete all the necessary preparations for a light celebration, many housewives begin to create some of the festive attributes in advance. For example, an Easter napkin can also be crocheted many months before an important Christian date.

We invite you to get acquainted with a very simple and accessible even for a beginner needlewoman, crocheting technique. This elementary crochet technique is called sirloin knitting.

Execution knitted products in the presented technique, it is completely uncomplicated and accessible for a craftswoman with any level of crochet proficiency. In knitting in this way, only air loops and ordinary double crochets are used. However, for all its seeming simplicity, the fillet knitting technique requires utmost care and perseverance when reading patterns in the knitting process.

Sirloin knitting is an imitation of fillet lace, which is an openwork embroidery on a net. In such a grid, the cells are filled with threads according to a special pattern. Knitting patterns using such unusual technique resemble cross stitch patterns.

Modern knitting and embroidery magazines offer the most various schemes and drawings for fillet technology, from simple and small ornaments, to paintings, subject canvases. However, to start knitting a complex pattern according to the pattern you like, you need to knit a sample: a small section of the grid, for example, ten cells in length and ten cells in height, and take a close look at it. First, it will allow you to mentally correlate the scale of your future product in relation to the existing fillet scheme. Otherwise, the conceived openwork napkin may eventually turn into a huge tablecloth. Here you need to take into account all the factors: both the thickness of the threads and the size crochet hook and the density of your knitting. The thinner the thread smaller size crochet and tighter knitting - the smaller the cage will turn out, and vice versa. Secondly, how close the resulting sample is to a square, that is, how smooth your grid is, and how square the windows in it are. Here you can make small adjustments to knitting, for example, knit a crochet shorter, tighter or, conversely, longer, reduce or increase the number of air loops.
