Round crochet motifs: types, shapes, patterns

Round motifs, crocheted, are the basis of many interesting handmade products. It can be safely asserted that the use of such elements helps to create the most beautiful dresses, tops, skirts, bedspreads, tablecloths and other items.

What is a motive, element, or fragment ?

For a beginner who only learns knitting wisdom, the appearance of a circular pattern can cause surprise or even horror. Where to start, how to move from one row to another and how not to make a mistake? The answers to these questions are described in this article. Also, various round crochet motifs, schemes, types and methods of connection are given.

A motif is a canvas, which is crocheted (sometimes with knitting needles) and serves as an integral part of a larger product. Motives can be of different shapes:

• Round.
• Square.
• Triangular.
• Hexagonal.
• Asymmetric.

Also they are distinguished in appearance: flat or three-dimensional (multilayered). Round motifs, crocheted, are used more often for decoration of clothes or interior crafts. Such fragments are converted into napkins, dream catchers, tablecloths and floor mats.

Experienced knitters can use round motifs crocheted as a basis for making hats, berets, bags and other accessories.

The principle of knitting a round motive

As the name suggests, such fragments do not knit together in straight lines, but in circular rows. The beginning is always a ring of air loops (VP) or a protracted loop, to whom as it is more convenient.

Each new series must begin with a VP lift. If the first in the series is a column without a crochet (STBN), then on the rise there is one loop. For a column with one cape (StN) - three VP, for St2H - four and so on.

Important point: at the end of each row, it is required to carry out a connecting column. This means that the last bar must be connected to the first one in such a way that the row looks even. To do this, the hook is inserted under the loop of the first column, grasping the thread and dragging through the first and last posts. The connecting posts do not bind, in fact this broach.

Simple round crochet motifs: description, photo, scheme

Consider the theory on the example of knitting a fairly simple flower fragment.

1st row: StBN is bound to the initial ring, then a chain of 5 VP is performed and StBN * is again made. This element from * to * is required to be repeated seven more times.

According to the scheme, the center is carried out with a colored thread, which is terminated at the end of the row.

2 nd series: the beginning of work by a new thread. * In the center of the arch of 5 VP make StBN, then bind 5VP and perform STBN in the adjacent arch *. Sequence is repeated seven times, completing not STBN, and connecting column.

3rd row: 3VP lift, lush column of 2 StN, 3VP, StBN, * 3VP, a magnificent column of 3 stn, 3 VP, StBN *. Repeat six times, complete a series of three VIs and a connecting post.

Such round motifs, crocheted, can be sewn into a whole canvas with a needle or they are connected by chains of air loops. Also popular is the method, when the motifs are joined when knitting the last row.

For this fragment: when a lavish column is ready, the motif is attached to the second connected element by a connecting column, and then they execute the 3VP and continue to work.
