Create a Stunning Knitted Ornament with Fushia and Yellow Yarn
Materials
The ornament is performed from half-woolen yarn in two colours: fushia - 100 grams and yellow - 50 grams. Knitting needles 6 and 7 are required for this project.
Size
Around head circumference is 52 cm. The rib density on knitting needles 6 is 14 p. × 22 rows in a circle. The density of the “pearl” pattern on knitting needles 7 is 12 p.
× 24 circular rows = 10 × 10 cm square.Pattern "Pearls"
To create the pearl stitch, knit one, purl one. There is a displacement in the following rows - the purl stitch is knitted above the knit stitch and vice versa.
Description
The set of stitches is performed in yellow colour on knitting needles 6, with a total of 68 stitches. Knit the first row in a circle, then place the stitches on 4 needles. The ribbing should be in a 2x2 pattern and reach a height of 10 cm.
Next, switch to the main pattern using fushia colour with needles 7. Knit for 10 cm, which is about 24 circular rows from the rib, and then start to decrease. Knit together 3 stitches and 1 purl in rotation, resulting in a quantity of stitches equal to 34.
Continue to decrease in a round - rotate 1 purl and 3 knit stitches, repeating this process up to the end of the row 8 times, finishing with 1 purl and 1 knit stitch.
In a round without decreases, all the remaining stitches are knitted in 2 knit stitches. The stitches left after the decrease should total 9 stitches, which are then tightened and fastened with the working needle.
Finishing
Finish by sewing on the pom pom and folding back half of the rib.
Making the Pompom
To create a pom pom for the hat, use the yarn left from knitting. Wrap the yarn around a base cut from thick cardboard, consisting of two rectangular pieces. Make holes and cuts in accordance with the design. The rectangle's height should equal the future ball diameter plus 1 cm.
Cut a piece from the remaining threads, which will be used to pull the pompom together. This segment should be inserted into a needle and secured onto the cardboard rectangles, as illustrated.
Then, wind the thread around the cardboard at the cut area.
With a piece of thread and needle, pull the wound threads together.
To cut the winding, gently move apart the cardboard rectangles.
The resulting workpiece can be removed from the cardboard and trimmed to form an even ball, resulting in a voluminous pom pom.
