Openwork bell (hook): diagram, photo, description

Interior items crocheted have long been surprising. Quite usual were cushions, napkins, panels or even vases. However, the idea of creating Christmas decorations in the form of bells is relatively new. It is actively used in European countries, decorating their homes, trees, windows and doors. In addition, it will allow you to get a pretty pretty little present - an openwork bell - a hook. The scheme of such products is not at all simple, but it is available to most skilled workers.

Yarn for wind chimes

A very thin cotton yarn is suitable for crocheting small objects. In this case, it is advisable to choose not crumb, but mercerized cotton. This thread is treated with alkali, so it does not fizz, has smoothness and tight torsion.
The decor associated with this material is very expressive. Otherwise, it will help to get a rather coarse and too bulky bell hook. The scheme, as a rule, is designed for the use of yarns with a thickness of about 550-600 m / 100 grams. In extreme cases, you can apply material with a thread length of 450-500 m / 100 grams.

Handbell crochet: diagram and description

The photograph shows a bell, which is knitted as follows:

• Begin work with a chain of 4 air loops (VP).
• 1 VP of lifting, 12 half-columns (PS). Semi-columns are performed in the same way as columns with a crochet, but the loop and cap are tied together, not sequentially.
• 1 VP lift, 1 PS, 1 PS, 2 PS in one loop of the base (that is, double each third PS).
• 4 VP lift, 1 VP, column with three covers. Repeat the sequence (except the lifting loops).
• 1 VP lift, 32 bar without crochet (RLS). Row repeat two more times.
• 1 VP of recovery, 4 sc, 20 VP, 1 sc in 5 th VP, 5VP, 4 sc. Repeat 7 times.
• 1 VP lift, 2 sc, 6 sc in the smaller arch, 8 sc in the big arch, 2 VP, 8 sc in the big arch, 6 sc in the smaller arch. Sequence: 2 RLS, 6 RLS to a smaller arch, 4 RLS to a large arch, attach a petal to the middle of the nearest lobe, 4 RLS to a large arch, 2 FP, 8 RLS to a large arch, 6 RLS to a smaller arch.

This method will help to perform several identical or one small bell hook, the scheme is not difficult, but you need skills to work with circular canvases. The process can be simplified by attaching the petals without attaching them during knitting. They can be sewn after the product is ready.

Fixture for decoration

To make the bell easy to attach to the spruce branch or to another holder, the loop must be attached from above. As a material, the same thread, which was associated with a bell, and also a tape made of satin or organza, is suitable. In the photo, a plastic circle was tied to the bell with a crocheted tie. It is very convenient and beautiful. You can tie a bow from a ribbon to the ringlet or simply put it on a branch.

Handbell processing

In order for the finished product to hold its shape and perform its main function, it must be processed. Here with your hands and created a tied bell bell, the pattern and pattern do not matter, you need to put it on a prepared cone of thick cardboard. To paper does not soften, it should be wrapped with polyethylene and then put on the bell.

If the product has a shape different from the cone, then the basis should be given the appropriate form. As an alternative, use light bulbs, cups, curly vases and other suitable items in form.

Putting the bell on the mold, it is generously moistened with a solution of starch, PVA glue or gelatin. After complete drying, a durable and volumetric New Year's bell is produced. A pattern of patterns with large holes may cause the web to be very soft. In this case, it is possible to impregnate the product with a solution several times.
