The method by which lace strips of different lengths and widths can be knitted is called ribbon lace. Ribbons can be different: oval, square, triangular.
The shape of the tape depends on the sector and pattern. Narrow and wide ribbon lace can be used for finishing and when creating individual household items.
Most often, simple ribbon knitting can be varied. Initially, if you are knitting any piece of clothing, you need to make the desired pattern for the finished item. You can also take a finished product for a pattern. To knit ribbon lace you need to take and use special yarn, in the composition that will be cotton.
What tools are needed for the job:
- The hook is the right size.
- Needles.
- Scissors.
Before knitting you need decide on the type of drawing and lace. After choosing a lace pattern, you can start knitting. The first step in creating ribbon lace is to knit the chain and from air loops.
Then the chain is transformed into a circle and tied with a single crochet. After creating the base, you need to work according to the drawing diagram. Choose the length of the ribbon and knit it according to your needs.
If a certain length is reached, the thread can be broken and a new ribbon can be knitted. When all the tapes are ready, they need to be combine into a single piece.
Connect them using needles or hook. But before that you need related place the ribbons on the pattern in the right order and with the help pins attach the ribbons to the patterns.
If you connected the motifs with a needle, then you need sew them together from the inside out. For expansion, it is better to use a hook because of its convenience. How to make a connection using a hook: we knit several air loops, then grab one and then the other side of the finished part.

Now we'll figure it out best method on knitting ribbon lace, that is, a master class on creating a dress.
- First we need to take 550 grams of yarn, of which 300 grams should be pistachio and 250 olive.
- For work you also need a hook numbered 1.1 - 1.25.
To make a beautiful product that will lie exactly on your figure, you need to create fillet inserts, which connect the tapes. Initially, you need to make a life-size pattern of all parts of the dress, while adjusting the pattern according to your measurements. After this, you need to study the ribbon lace patterns for the dress.
According to scheme No. 7 it is necessary make a tape sample, which then needs to be checked to ensure that the dimensions correspond to those shown in the figure under No. 8.
If necessary you can increase or decrease the width of the strip. To do this, take a hook with the thickness you need. For the back, you need to make two strips, each should be 99 cm long, two more strips 97 cm long. All this is knitted from olive-colored yarn.
To make the front, you need to knit two strips of 99 cm and 85 cm.
Finished back parts collected from top to bottom using pistachio colored threads. The stripes should be located unevenly in relation to each other.
The distance from the shoulder to the waist must be connected using a fillet mesh, which will be 2 cm wide.
Then from the waist we continue knitting wedges- special mesh inserts. The silhouette line is created due to the fact that the number of mesh cells increases according to the pattern.
The connection of the strips occurs during work. The sample can be taken from diagram 7B. It clearly shows how to connect and expand wedges. The front strips are also connected in the same way.
Next all seams on the sides are connected with the help loin mesh. Don’t forget that you need to leave the armholes of the dress open at a height of 20 cm. The main point in knitting is that when creating a dress you need to often try it on and see how the product fits.
The finished canvas is needed without interruption sew with a knitted seam along the shoulder lines. Using the knitting pattern number 8, we knit the sleeves, after which we sew them into the armholes. The neckline is also made according to pattern number 8. Now our magnificent dress is ready. It's not that difficult to connect the parts and make your own dress.
Ribbon lace, models
Every beginner in this business needs to study ribbon lace models; first, you can just glance at the photo and choose the option that suits you. Next you need view diagrams, video materials, and then you will definitely make your choice. The main thing is to remember that you need to read all the descriptions for the diagrams!
Conclusion
Handicraft will always be highly valued, so it is better to make the item yourself rather than buy it from a store. Appreciate your creativity and maybe one day you can even make money from it. Well, some advice for beginners: after reading the description, you can ask people with experience in this matter for an opinion.
It is quite possible that summer will come someday in the middle zone. This means that it still makes sense to supply bread kvass. It will take at least a week to prepare a good starter, and as forecasters promise, by that time the air temperature should rise above 20 C (in the daytime).
How to prepare sourdough for
homemade bread kvass
Ingredients:
- 2 liters of cold water;
- 0.5 loaves of Borodino bread or 100 grams of rye flour + 100 grams of rye bread;
- 4 tablespoons granulated sugar;
- 3 grams of yeast.
- Preparation time - 5-6 days
How to put kvass:
And insist again for a couple of days.
Drain again, add the remaining crackers (or flour with crackers) and sugar. And fill it with fresh water again.
During this time, the sourdough will lose its insolent yeasty taste and unpleasant bitterness and it will be possible to use it for drinking kvass. To do this, once every 1.5-2 days, you will need to add water, sugar to taste and a large handful of fresh rye crackers to a three-liter jar with the prepared starter, first removing some of the old soggy ones that have sunk to the bottom. For taste you can add raisins, mint, ginger, honey...
This section of needlework is one of the most exciting, but also quite complex crochet techniques. Its essence is in the formation of ribbons from motifs, usually round and openwork. An intricate and sophisticated design is achieved by tying one petal to another, and the petals themselves are formed as follows: two-thirds of the circle is knitted and attached to the next element. Below we will briefly introduce crocheted ribbon lace; diagrams and models will help you navigate this fascinating needlework.
Knitting always starts with a complete motif, and the petal always has an odd number of rows. The ribbon can be made not only in the form of circles, but also square and hexagonal motifs.
Tape knitting is used to make clothing, trim elements, and also as a beautiful finishing border - to decorate the bottom of a product or correct a bad edge.
Connecting motives
It is important to connect the tapes correctly. Two connection methods are allowed:
- Sew the finished ribbons with a picot needle (the method is simple and convenient, although it creates a seam);
- Connect the ribbons at the moment of knitting (there is no seam, but the method is quite complicated due to the asymmetry of the edges of the ribbon lace).
Tip: you need to place the ribbon on the pattern from bottom to top, starting from the full (round) motif, to form beautiful region. It is better to start with the longest ribbon possible - say, from the bottom to the shoulder.
The narrowing of the ribbon fabric is achieved due to the fact that one of the ribbons is knitted shorter, and the next ones are connected to each other.
A small master class on crochet ribbon lace here:
Let's start simple
The choice of pattern for ribbon lace depends on the skill of the knitter, but the technique itself offers almost unlimited possibilities for creativity.
For those who are starting to knit lace ribbon for the first time, we advise you to start with a simple border. It is knitted simply: starting with an air ring. loops, tie it st. b/n. Then continue knitting with air arches. loops and st. s2n, tied with st.b/n.

Suitable Models
Now that you know how to crochet ribbon lace, photos and diagrams will help you decide on the models.
Blouse "Temptation"
Snow white suit
This suit with an openwork top and a tight-knit skirt of an asymmetrical cut is suitable for a young and slender girl. Before you start knitting, you need to make a pattern and make all decreases and increases according to it. Knit the skirt in the round.
You will need: 46 balls of white “Iris” (knitted in 2 folds), hook No. 2. Size: 38-40.
Schemes:
We start the top by knitting a strip according to the first pattern, consisting of a whole motif, six right and six left halves of the motifs. Next, we knit the strips according to the second pattern and connect them as shown in the third pattern.
The skirt is knitted from top to bottom, in the round. In accordance with the pattern, increases and decreases are knitted.
You need to start by setting a chain of air. loops of the required length. Next, close it in a ring and knit the fabric according to pattern No. 3. Make additions on the sides according to scheme No. 4. Having tied to the bottom, close the edge.
That's it! We hope that now knitting ribbon lace will not be a problem for you.

Today I will learn how to crochet simple ribbon lace... I have never crocheted it before. And then, my mother, looking through my handicraft magazines, saw a cape knitted in a similar way, pointed her finger at it and declared: “I want one like that!” Well, how can you refuse your loved one?
But in order to knit any thing, you first need to understand how to knit it...
So first of all, I’ll try to figure out how to crochet ribbon lace, and then I’ll think about a cape made from it...
I’ll say right away that in the mentioned magazine there is a diagram of the pattern and no description of how to knit a cape. Therefore, I immediately purchased threads for the entire future product and began to try to disassemble the diagram
Crochet ribbon lace - diagram
from Special Issue No. 6 of the magazine “We knit ourselves”
I don’t really understand why rows of double crochets are needed at the beginning of knitting... Probably in order to even out the edge... but in this case, on the other side of the ribbon lace it will also need to be aligned somehow... and if you look at the model from the magazine, then I don’t see this strip of double crochets... the first inconsistency...
It's decided! I’ll “reinvent my wheel” :) I’ll knit it, and then I’ll see what happens... I suggest you, friends, to join me)))
If we look at the diagram carefully, we will see that the ribbon lace consists of repeating elements. It is these elements that we will now knit...
Yarn "Olga", hooks No. 4 and 5
How to crochet ribbon lace - Master class
First lace element
Cast on 10 air loops with hook No. 4, close them in a ring using a connecting post and change the hook to No. 5. You can put the four away - we will no longer need this tool before knitting the next strip of ribbon lace 
1st row – 4 VP lifts, 11 double crochets (SS2H) in a ring of air loops. Knitting turn 
2nd row – 3 VP lift, 2 VP, double crochet (Dc) in the first loop of the bottom row, then repeat the combination * 1 VP+1 Dc*, passing one loop of the bottom row 4 times, 2 VP+1 Dc in the fourth loop lifting the first row 
3rd row – 3 VP lifting, *2 DC under the arch from two VP of the bottom row + 1 DC in the double crochet loop of the second row*, ** repeat until the end of the row 
4th row – 3 VP for lifting, 2 VP, double crochet (DC) in the first loop of the bottom row, then repeat the combination * 1 VP+1 DC*, passing one loop of the bottom row 8 times, 2 VP+1 DC in the third lifting loop for the third row. In fact, this row is an exact copy of the second row, only more repetitions of the combination ** 
So we have knitted the first element of the pattern, which still does not at all look like ribbon lace. But everything is ahead! Let's continue...
Second crochet lace element
Turn knitting...
4 VP, 1 Dc in the loop of the first double crochet of the bottom row, 4 VP, connecting stitch in the loop of the second double crochet. 
2 VP, connecting stitch into the loop of the third double crochet of the bottom row. Please note - these two air loops, attached by a connecting post to the previous row, will always be lifting loops for the next row and, in addition, they will replace the first stitch of the next row... 
Turn knitting
1st row - 9 СС2Н in the arch from the first 4-VP, 10 СС2Н under the second arch, turn 
2nd row – 3 VP lifting, 2 VP, double crochet (DC) in the first loop of the bottom row, then repeat the combination * 1 VP + 1 DCS *, passing one loop of the bottom row 9 times, 2 VP + 1 connecting stitch in the loop above the double crochet of the first element (see photo below) 
2 VP, SS in the loop of the next DC of the first element. 
Rotate knitting
3rd row – similar to the third row of the first element with slight difference... - 1 Dc under the arch of two VPs of the bottom row + 1 Dc in the double crochet loop of the second row - remember, the attached loops replace the first stitch of the row?
Next, *2 DC under the arch of two VPs of the bottom row + 1 DC in the double crochet loop of the second row*, ** repeat to the end of the row, the last stitch in the lifting loops of the previous row 
4th row – 3 VP lifting, 2 VP, then by analogy with the second row of the second element. Don’t forget to attach the last 2 VPs of the row to the first element of the ribbon lace. 
Turn the knitting.
The third and subsequent elements of crochet lace ribbon
Again 4 ch, 1 dc in the loop of the first double crochet of the bottom row, 4 ch, a connecting stitch in the loop of the second double crochet. 
Turn the knitting and tie the arches with double crochets (VP+9 SS2N, 10 SS2N), 2 VP, SS 
1,2,3,4 rows of the third and subsequent elements are knitted in exactly the same way as for the second element. The pattern is well remembered...
After knitting three elements, ribbon lace begins to emerge 
Well, indeed, crocheted ribbon lace is a repetition of the same element, shifted when knitting the ribbon first to the right, then to the left... The exception is the first element... 
In a good way, this tape should have started with a round motif, and not with a half...
Well, it's okay, I won't bandage it - I'll come up with something later, maybe I'll just tie a circle, or maybe not... we'll see.
In the meantime, this is what a strip of lace for a future cape looks like... 22 elements 
At the moment I have already crocheted two such ribbons... Crocheting ribbon lace is not difficult and quite quick...
And I am firmly committed to knitting a cape and hope that this product does not fall into the category of my
Let's talk about crochet ribbon lace. From the name it is clear that products made using this technique consist of ribbons. The ribbons are connected to each other during knitting or with a needle. Ribbons come in wide and narrow, long and short. They can be placed parallel to each other or at an angle to each other.
The ribbons can be based on a circle, a polygon, a square, a sector of a circle, a rhombus, or even a petal. It all depends on your imagination. The product can consist entirely of ribbon lace, or ribbon lace is used to trim shawls, blouses, dresses and even swimsuits.
In the classic version, ribbons are made up of round motifs of one size or another with one or another pattern in the following sequence:
1,2 - the first fragment of the tape is a whole motif, and each subsequent one is a sector that starts from the typesetting ring and lines up in a straight line;
3, 6 - *the first fragment of the tape is a whole motif, and the next one starts from the typesetting ring and is located at the end point of the first whole motif*; the typesetting ring of each next fragment is located at the junction of the two previous ones;
4.7 - repeat from * to *, the cast-on ring of each next fragment is located on the basis of the loops of the last row of the previous element;
5,8 - repeat from * to *, the set number of each next fragment is located on the basis of the loops of the last row not of the previous fragment, but of the one preceding it.
Please note that in all three cases the tapes differ in width and length.
- interesting selection for the site!!!

One way to diversify patterns ribbon lace- combine round motifs of different diameters.
Ribbons tend to bend in one direction if fragments with fewer rows are knitted on one side. The degree of curvature of the tape depends on the degree of displacement of the small fragment.
To create ribbon lace, in addition to circles and semicircles, polygons are also used - hexagons, squares and triangles. Fragments of tape can be arranged linearly and in checkerboard pattern, linearly with additional tying of incomplete motifs on both sides of the tape.
The beauty of the pattern of the finished tape and, accordingly, of the large prefabricated canvas largely depends on the pattern of the polygon.
A win-win option in this case is horizontal patterns with alternating dense and openwork rows.
Transitions between the end point of the previous fragments and the starting point of the next are made using connecting columns, which are knitted at the tops of the columns of the last row of the previous fragment.
