Needlework before Easter!
In the Christian tradition, Easter has a special place in the "Feast of Holidays". It is in it that the main meaning of the Orthodox faith lies - the deliverance of people from the power of death and sin. The Orthodox Church has been celebrating Easter for over two thousand years. Its meaning was taught by the apostles, who passed on the tradition of celebration to their disciples. So, from generation to generation, the tradition of celebrating Easter has come down to us and spread throughout the world.
The Easter holiday is a passing one, that is, its date in each specific year is calculated according to the lunisolar calendar. Easter is preceded by Lent, a time of abstinence, when all holidays, including family ones, are transferred to the celebration of Easter, and the scale of Easter folk festivals is associated with breaking the fast after Lent. Easter symbols are everything that expresses Renewal (Easter streams), Light (Easter fire), Life (Easter cakes, eggs and hares)
Celebrating Easter is, of course, not only attending a divine service. This holiday has always been loved by the people and many customs are associated with it: decorate the table in a special way, prepare special treats, give each other special gifts!
Life in cares and in work continues every day, but you shouldn't forget about your health and rest, good impressions and new positive emotions. One of the best vacations is a trip to a holiday home or a sanatorium, as well as comprehensive treatment and recovery of the whole body. Rest in Crimea, all the best tourist places, beaches, museums, amazing sights, as well as types of resort areas, climatic features and much more are here, here
For many centuries Easter has been the main 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, ranging from Christ is Risen napkins to funny multi-colored products with 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, so it is available to anyone. 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, these 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 made 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 squares 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 cells. 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 round, in the shape of an egg. The former are called "Easter towels". They are quite large (most often 64 × 31 cm), have a 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 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: colored 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
The finished crocheted product 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.
- Place a flat tablespoon of starch in a wide, heat-resistant container.
- Add some water. You need so much liquid to bring the powder to a gruel state.
- 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.
- 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.
- Remove the product from the solution, flatten 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.
Easter is perhaps the brightest and most long-awaited church holiday. Moreover, both for believers and for non-religious people. They prepare for it in advance, long before its onset. Traditionally, Easter cakes are baked and eggs are painted. Many hostesses look for new recipes, spend hours painting Easter eggs and carefully think about decorating the Easter table.
Let's also knit two Easter napkins using fillet technique to decorate the festive table. The design of the napkins was invented by a forum participant KristinaKA... In the photo - the work of the forum participant Irina_K.
At the forum, knitting took place in the form. We have kept this format for your interest. To do this, knit according to the patterns in turn, without looking ahead. If you have never knitted in a sirloin technique, check it out.
Let's start by calculating how many loops we need to begin with. If we have 1 VP between the columns, then we calculate 2 * 8 + 1 = 17. If between the columns 2 VP, then so 3 * 8 + 1 = 25. We collect the required number of loops + 3 VP for lifting (these three loops replace the first st s / n. In each row). Next, we knit according to the picture: white cell - empty (between st.s / n. 1 (2) st.p.), gray - filled (between st.s / n 1 (2) st.s / n.)
For convenience, the schemes are conventionally named "XB" and "Candle".
