Ribbon lace

Ribbon lace is becoming more popular day by day. Blouses, skirts, capes, stoles, swimsuits and even boots make with this miracle ornament. The elegance and beauty of the products made in this way of knitting pleases the eye, while striking with its simplicity. Only true craftsmen can make products in this style. Previously, ordinary residents of villages and villages all day and only engaged in the fact that carefully tied beautiful patterns for the rich boyaryni, queens, etc. The ancient lace is now very popular and there is an explanation for this - it's extremely beautiful!

In fact, the ribbon lace is quite difficult to make for one simple reason. In this case, you need a special skill, which is very difficult to master, you need to have a kind of talent. But with a great desire, you can master the ribbon lace from scratch, crocheting the usual canvas, consisting of beautiful lace ribbons. There is a great variety of options for such products, so prepare for experiments!

The more closely you will be, making the ribbon lace, the better. After all, the beautiful appearance and accuracy of the products depend on this. Tapes are not always symmetrical to each other and require careful connection. It also happens that the elements of the product made according to the same scheme have a different structure as a result - some loose, others more rigid, etc.

For the formation of lace is better to take motives that have an even number of rows. If this way to perform this beautiful crochet - ribbon lace called - then every time we will return to the middle. Then, without breaking the thread, you can easily move to another element. Products that consist entirely of ribbon lace, are considered quite difficult to perform, because all the motifs should always be the same in magnitude. To do this, you need to accurately calculate the size of the motifs so that they fit the pattern.

The joining of the finished tapes in the process of sewing or knitting at certain points in such a way that the web is not subjected to deformation is also technically difficult. To facilitate the execution of products that repeat complex contours of the finished pattern, it is necessary to clearly combine ribbons and mesh. Any change in the contour of the tape of the width of the net in the pattern is made by adding and subtracting a certain amount in the series of rapports. The grid also helps to emphasize the texture of the lace, the expressiveness of all motifs of the pattern. Such an effect can be strengthened by tying the lace bands with a crochet thinner than by knitting the net. Grid and tape should be joined with columns without a crochet or with a coupling. To do this, remove the hook from the loop and insert it into the loop of the lace, into the one with which the grid needs to be connected. Grab the thread and make a broach. Your ribbon crochet is ready.

Another type of ribbon lace is the so-called needle lace. To get the desired pattern, you just need to put it out of the finished ribbon. How to do it? You will need a silk braid, at the edges of which there are small loops - "centipede". Hinges along the edges of such a "centipede" are quite convenient to connect with each other, grasping them with a needle. You can use any kind of braid or cord. The choice depends on the material and the type of product that you are going to make or from its purpose, if the product is one. For knitting it is better to take kapron threads - they are stronger. To work you will need even a thick paper or oilcloth, needle, tracing paper.

How to make lace? Draw a pattern on the tracing paper and sweep it with the usual imprinted seam. Where the braid intersects, manually fasten it with a short, inconspicuous stitch (seam "back needle"). Large gaps can be hidden with the help of bridges. After that, decorative seams are applied.
