How to crochet the loofah?

A nice colored washcloth can be tied by yourself. Washcloth-mittens or a loofah-ball, a sponge with a long ribbon, which is convenient to rub back, or a small children's sponge - any of them can be tied with thick nylon threads and a hook of the right size.

Masters of knitting can easily cope with the knitting of any washcloth, since the very principle of knitting does not differ from ordinary cloths and mittens, the only difficulty may arise in the development of materials that are more elastic than familiar yarns (such as nylon tapes). A little harder to master knitting crocheted crochet for beginners. The crochet crochet knitting pattern for beginners is as simple as possible, regardless of the kind of sponge: a normal cloth, columns without a crochet, sometimes circular knitting.

Long sponge for back

Easy and very fast. 40 air hinges are closed by a ring - this will be the volume of the future bast. 6 rows are tied with a column without a crochet, starting from the 7th row, stretched loops are sewn. Loops are left inside the work. So all the necessary length is sewn.

Before you complete the knitting, you must turn the work, otherwise the elongated hinges will remain inside the loofah! The work is finished exactly as it began - by tying the 6 rows in a column without a crochet.

Usually, two handles are sewn onto such loops to make it convenient to wash your back. Handles are tied with air loops and sewn to the washcloth with the same threads, from which the main part was connected.

Washcloth crocheted

The mitten from a kapron thread will be very rigid. You can use flax or sisal, then the loofah will be less stiff. You can knit a mitten with a thumb, using circular knitting needles, as the most common mitten. The most difficult thing in this job is the thumb knitting. Knitting a wool mitten crochet for beginners involves creating a simple product without a finger or a notch for it.

How to tie a wool mitten crochet:

1. There are 30 air loops (on a small hand - 25), they are connected in a circle.
2. The canvas of the necessary height is cut in circular rows without a crochet (just one air loop is used to move to the next row).
3. After the required height has been knit, the upper parts of the mitten are sewn as follows: the upper and lower columns are tied together with a half-tube. After fixing, the thread is cut off.

Washcloths for children

Children's washcloths-droplets, or balls, are very light in performance. For a tender baby skin, it is best to use softer linen threads.

1. 50 air loops are assembled and five rows are tied with posts without a crochet. The thread does not stop!
2. The resulting ribbon is folded in the form of a ball as follows: one end of the tape (shorter) is superimposed over the long one, the long end of the tape is wound into the formed ring. It turns out, that the long end of a tape as if wraps all ribbon.
3. The ends of the tape are sewn with a thread.

To the bast was not very boring, it can be tied with threads of different colors. The loop for the washcloth is knitted with an ordinary chain of air loops.

General rules of knitting crocheted crochet for beginners:

1. The hook must be large. The best option - hook number 5 and above.
2. The binding should not be too dense. The washcloth for the bathroom is always a bit loose, otherwise it just will not pee.
3. Children's scouring can be knit in the form of suns, turtles, etc.
4. In the hollow bast, you can sew a thin foam - then it will be better to foam.
5. Washcloths made of nylon threads are suitable for rough skin, but they severely injure sensitive skin. For soft skin, washcloths from softer materials, for example, linen thread or sisal, are suitable.
