Knitted tablecloths and lace napkins are our grandmothers' favorite home decorations. Looking at the ancient objects carefully stored in chests, we admire the painstaking work and skill of the needlewomen. But is their time really gone?

Knitted tablecloths in modern decor

Some may call this attribute a relic of the last century that does not correspond to modern trends. However, knitting techniques do not stand still; on the Internet you can find a large number of variants of patterns and descriptions of crocheted tablecloths that fit organically into a modern home environment.

In the photo, interiors with knitted tablecloths look elegant, but at the same time cozy and homely. Openwork tablecloths with complex patterns made from fine yarn add a touch of aristocracy to the home, and bright napkins with geometric motifs are used by designers even in high-tech style.

What types of tablecloths are there?

Depending on the type and size of the table, knitted tablecloths are made round, rectangular, oval or any other shape conceived by the designer. Patterns of knitted tablecloths can be solid or consist of individual motifs, which are subsequently sewn together to form a smooth fabric.

When crocheting, the pattern is made by alternating various stitches and air loops in accordance with the pattern. The fabric can be knitted in a circular pattern (with a lifting loop or in a spiral), or in rotating rows.

Using ready-made patterns or improvising, experienced knitters create intricate patterns. The result is incredibly beautiful crocheted tablecloths.

Bruges lace and fillet knitting techniques are also common. Mastering this skill with basic knitting skills is not difficult; it will take a little practice and patience.

Some craftswomen even knit tablecloths with knitting needles. This method is even more labor-intensive and requires serious skills, because it is very difficult to cope with a large number of loops when knitting a wide fabric.

With all the variety of modern materials and the rich color palette of yarn on store shelves, the flight of imagination of knitters is almost unlimited.

Choosing yarn for a tablecloth

When choosing a thread for knitting, you need to know in advance how often the tablecloth will be used. Synthetic yarn is suitable for everyday use - it does not require special care, is easy to wash and holds its shape well in the product. For special occasions, the bias is made in favor of thin cotton, linen fibers or iris.

The calculation of the amount of yarn per product is usually given in the descriptions, but you should take into account the individual knitting density, the thickness of the selected thread and the meter in the skein.

Craftsmen determine the need for yarn experimentally, so to begin with it is better to take materials with a reserve. Practice shows that excess is useful in further experiments, and deficiency is fraught with problems in finding the right color and composition.

If you are just learning how to knit, start with small doilies. Choose clear patterns to practice without confusing patterns. First of all, make sure that the canvas is smooth, without waves or irregularities. The columns must be the same, then the drawing will be readable.

To begin, knit a few test pieces using different sized hooks. This method clearly shows the best combination of three main components: knitting density, yarn used and tool. The sampler will also help you calculate the yarn consumption for the required size of the product.

Choosing a pattern of motifs will help you avoid doubts about the size of the finished tablecloth. This way you can add the desired number of motifs in length or width as you complete the work.

Processing of the finished product

Having finished knitting the tablecloth, do not rush to put it into use - first, the product needs to be given a completed, “marketable” look. This is achieved through the process of wet-temperature treatment.

The edges of the tablecloth are fixed on a flat surface, then steamed and ironed through a damp cloth. During the process, the product is given shape, all the threads are aligned, and the tablecloth takes on a beautiful finished look.

In order for the tablecloth to serve for a long time, it must be washed only by hand, using special gentle products. Handmade work deserves to be treated with care and in return will provide pleasure for many years.

Photo of a crocheted tablecloth

Good afternoon, friends!

I'm often asked if I have any patterns for crochet round tablecloths, because it's actually hard to find clear patterns on the Internet. I couldn't do it either. Now I have learned to look for the photos I need and I want to offer you six very beautiful tablecloths for a round table with good large patterns, or rather, I will add five more to the one already published on the blog a long time ago.

I myself really like it when a round table is covered with a burgundy or green linen tablecloth, and on top lies a white crocheted openwork one. It is so elegant, elegant, graceful, elegant, beautiful, festive and cozy!

As a rule, thin cotton threads such as Iris, Violet, Narcissus, Lily and others are suitable for knitting, and in some cases it is better to knit from bobbin threads for sewing - zeros. Choose the color to suit your taste and your interior.

According to reviews from needlewomen, the thread consumption for a tablecloth can range from 300 to 800 grams, but this will depend on the pattern, the size of the tablecloth, the threads and the density of knitting.

A hook number 1-1.5 is suitable, and sometimes it’s even better to take a number 0.6.

I have selected only patterns that allow you to knit the entire tablecloth at once, and not from motifs. Crocheting round tablecloths is similar to crocheting a large napkin and many people enjoy it much better.

The finished tablecloth needs to be starched and spread wet on the floor to dry.

I checked all the diagrams; when viewed enlarged on a computer, they are perfectly readable, you can even see the number of air loops in the arches.

Video lesson

It is always easier for any needlewoman to start a new project by watching knitting master classes. Crochet tablecloths are no exception, because there are many ways to knit them, and it is simply impossible to know them all.

Video “crocheting a tablecloth”

In fact, a tablecloth is a multifunctional item that plays a big role in the interior design of a room. Tablecloths are classified according to the following parameters:

1. By purpose (protection of the table surface, for convenience, so that dishes do not slide on the tabletop, decorative functions, etc.);
2. According to the form;
3. According to the material of manufacture (oilcloth, fabric or knitted tablecloth).

Knitting a tablecloth

Knitting a tablecloth is not an easy task; it requires a lot of time, effort, patience and inspiration. However, the final result, knitted tablecloths, looks elegant and original.

Not every housewife can surprise guests with a table that is decorated with a real work of art - a tablecloth knitted with her own hands.

Many needlewomen believe that a beautiful openwork tablecloth can only be crocheted. This is not so, you need to choose the right threads and knitting needles, carefully study the tablecloth pattern and you can start creating masterpieces.

Rectangular tablecloth

Beginning craftswomen are not recommended to immediately take on large-scale products. It’s better to practice knitting simple rectangular napkins. With this you will fill your hand and decorate the interior of your home. Several crocheted napkins will give you confidence in your abilities; a tablecloth is essentially the same napkin, only larger. It is easier to knit a rectangular tablecloth because it is easier to correct a mistake than in a tablecloth knitted in the round.

Oval and round tablecloths

Openwork round tablecloths will become a real decoration for a small table in the kitchen or coffee table. Patterns and ornaments with plant motifs - flowers, leaves - are well suited for such things.

At first it may seem that it is difficult to knit “leaves” - weaves, decreases, yarn overs. But if you strictly adhere to the description of knitting a tablecloth, then the “leaves” will not seem complicated to you.

We offer patterns of tablecloths knitted with openwork patterns.

• Designer – Herbert Niebling
• Published: Beyer Bunte Reihe Band 7014, Beyer Kunststricken: Heft 4
• Burda 305, Alles aus Garn: Kunststricken Folge 2
• Anna, 04/1984
• Dimensions: 52 x 52 cm

Material and tools:

1. 40 g yarn MEZ-Glanz No. 60
2. Two sets of double needles No. 1.25 – length 21 cm
3. Hook No. 0.6 mm or 0.75 mm

Tablecloth knitting description:

Cast on 8 loops and join into a circle.
Distribute the stitches onto 4 knitting needles and knit 4 rows.
Next, knit in accordance with pattern A - repeat rapport 4 times. From three yarn overs lying next to each other, knit 10 loops each (knit alternate knit and purl loops).

After row 117, knit 4 rows. In the first front row, 8 times after every 65 stitches from the broach between the loops of the previous row, knit one front crossed loop. After these increases there are 532 stitches on the needles.

Make the teeth of the tablecloth according to pattern B. On each side, repeat the rapport 7 times, then for the corner, make a pattern to the left of the bold line (there are 6 leaf motifs in the corners - see photo).

After the 34th row (front row), close the loops with a crochet hook, knitting 12 chain loops between single crochets.
Yes, 4 knit rows without increases (this is at the very beginning of knitting, after 8 stitches were distributed on 4 knitting needles), that’s right, I was also surprised, but I knitted it, maybe not 4, but 3, I don’t know for sure , it’s hard to count them there. Girls, it turns out that it’s fun to knit a square on 4 knitting needles!

Just a hint (there is no such mark in the description of this particular model, but in the general recommendations for knitting napkins, tablecloths, shawls on 4 knitting needles): since we knit in a spiral, it is not difficult to get lost and lose the beginning and end of the circular row, so in one of the corners let the marker hang all the time, move it as the fabric increases, closer to the knitting needles. He will tell you that you are already on the fourth needle and it’s time to move on to the next row of the pattern.

And one more thing: the diagram shows a repeat for one knitting needle; it is knitted the same way on all four knitting needles. Empty cells in the diagram do not mean anything at all, and the numbers in an empty cell (or in the middle of several empty cells) mean the number of knit stitches that need to be knitted between other characters (for example, between two yarn overs).
