Knitting from grass - the cloth reminding a fluffy grassy lawn

"Grass" - this is the name of a fantasy yarn made from 100% viscose. It got its name thanks to a fluffy string made of twisted lace, between the threads of which is inserted a fringe of villi of varying thickness. Vorsels of the edge are very diverse - very thin, wide, shiny, with knots, etc. There are "grass" monochrome, two-color and multi-color, with rainbow-colored transitions of flowers. This yarn is designed, mainly, for hand knitting on knitting needles or crocheting. Knitting from grass is a quick way to create original and beautiful things. Its only drawback is that it is very stretched, and this should be taken into account when working. Knitting from grass for children turns out to be beautiful. From her knit fluffy, as if made of artificial fur, original little things that resemble spring lawns, as well as nice "fur" animals for the game. The fantastic texture of the yarn allows you to perform things in which the children look especially cute and touching, contributing to this and the variety of yarn colors - from delicate pastel, to bright and juicy tones.

In knitwear for women, "grass" is more often used for knitting individual parts - collars, cuffs, valves on pockets. Due to the "stiffness" and excessive softness of the yarn, the products made of it entirely do not hold the shape and quickly stretch. Therefore, it is recommended to combine knitting from "grass" with other types of yarn. For example, a coat, connected from "grass" and ordinary wool in the form of a combination of strips: a strip of "grass", a strip of wool, will look very effective. Fantasy yarn will give the product a bright decorative and unusual, and the stripes of wool will help keep its shape. Good models are obtained, where a coquette is made from the "grass", and the bottom of the shelves and the back, and also the sleeves are made of ordinary smooth yarn.

From the "grass" it is very good to knit hats and scarves, all kinds of kerchiefs, as well as ponchos and shawls. Knitting from the "grass" of a small cap, cut on the head, does not require additional strengthening of the form, it is enough just to make a more tight edge along the edge. Berets and hats with small fields look also very impressive, but it is desirable to duplicate them with a denser base to obtain the desired shape. If you want the product to be more dense, it is better to crochet it, since knitting with knitting needles from the "grass" turns out to be very "loose".

For example, try to tie a scarf-chanterelle. You will need yarn "grass" bright orange and white flowers and smooth wool yarn orange. Shirokik knit and crochet. First, a crochet of smooth wool around the circle is tied with a triangular muzzle in the form of a cone, adding in each second row 2 loops each. The "body" of the chanterelle is knitted with knitting needles from orange "grass" in two strands with a straight cloth. Having connected the necessary length, one thread is cut off and one white thread is added. The number of loops gradually diminishes, tying in each second row through two facial loops two loops along the front. The remaining 3 loops are tied together. Separately knit paws and sew to the "body" chanterelles. To distinguish the tail, just below the attachment point of the hind legs, the body is tightened with a thread. Then crochet ears, sew them to the muzzle and connect the muzzle to the body. On the muzzle there are eyes of two black beads and black hair denoting the tip of the nose. The scarf is ready.

Finally, very beautifully obtained decorative items, associated with this fantasy yarn. Knitted from the "grass" covers on the bed will become a true decoration of the bedroom, as well as colorful decorative cushions made of monophonic yarn or with an etched colored ornament of "grass" of various colors. More experienced and courageous craftsmen can be advised to tie a yarn from a yarn to a puff or chair.
