Knitted yarn bags

Knitted yarn bags have become incredibly popular lately. Not a single fashionista can do without such an accessory today. Moreover, it is not necessary to give a lot of money for a handbag made of a popular ribbon thread; you can make it yourself, without putting practically any effort into it.

Knitted yarn appeared in ancient times, when ordinary clothes, rugs for insulating homes, and, of course, comfortable and reliable bags were created with the help of just such threads. Then our grandmothers tore the remnants of fabrics and old things into strips and knitted original things from them. Given the cyclical nature of historical events and fashion trends, hand-made knitted yarn is currently at the peak of its popularity.

As the name suggests, knitted yarns are made from a special knitted fabric made from pure cotton. This material is quite pleasant to the touch, moreover, it does not cause allergic reactions. The knitted fabric is cut by a special machine into uniform strips 2-3 cm wide, then slightly stretched and twisted from the edges to the center, simultaneously forming strong and soft uniform tubules-flagella with a thickness of about 5-7 mm. Hundred-meter factory skeins do not have a single knot along their entire length.

It is worth mentioning that high quality yarn is never made from factory leftovers, on the contrary, only the best materials of the most fashionable shades are used for its production. Knitted yarns have many different names: T-yarns, spaghetti, noodles, macaroon, ribbon, lace, serpentine, T-shirt or just cotton yarn.

The main difference between different types of knitted yarns is their thickness and density. The thickness of the threads usually varies from half a centimeter to a centimeter and depends on the thickness of the fabric from which the yarn is made.

The density of the threads affects the durability of knitted products, as well as the ability to keep the shape in the finished form. An important parameter of tape yarn is its weight. If for rugs and home decorative baskets it almost does not matter, then for clothes and handbags this indicator can be extremely important.

If store yarn seems unsuitable in weight, density, shade or cost, you can make it yourself. To do this, you need a knitted fabric of the selected color or just annoying T-shirts. To get an uninterrupted cord from a whole product intended for the manufacture of threads, you should proceed as follows - cut the T-shirt folded in half with scissors, not reaching the seams of a couple of centimeters.

Further, having expanded the workpiece, we cut it diagonally so that the first strip goes into the second, the second into the third, and so on until the very end. To give the yarn its final "marketable" appearance, it should be slightly stretched in length - the edges are neatly wrapped inward and the threads will look really neat.

Using self-made or purchased yarn, you can knit with knitting needles or crochet almost any model of your favorite handbag. It can be a miniature cosmetic bag, an elegant clutch, a flirty backpack, a practical case for a tablet or laptop, a comfortable cross-body, an A4 business bag, a classic string bag, a youth ethnic bag-bag, a sports "baton", a voluminous shopper for purchases or spacious bag for going to the beach.

Such products are very practical and original.

Bags knitted from thick yarn turn out to be stiffer and denser, and from thin yarn - soft and elastic. In shape, knitted handbags are rectangular, square, oval and round.

You can sew a lining inside the bag, it will give the product a finished look, and also make the bag more durable. To give additional rigidity to the walls of a business bag, you can use a special frame that is inserted inside, then you can be sure of the safety of important documents.

A zipper sewn into the finished product is a fairly practical solution. In addition, the magnetic buttons are also very handy in knitted yarn bags. You can also use a button with a loop as a fastener. Factory clasps are available for elegant wallets and cosmetic cases in handicraft stores.

If your clutch or tablet case doesn't need pens, the rest of the bags will. Handles or straps can be made using knitting, voluminous macrame weaving, or simply weaving a pigtail of 3-4 "strands". As an evening version of a long handle, yarn woven into a large chain looks interesting. You can attach handles to your purse using special fittings or half rings.

The slots in the top of the bag can also act as handles.But the most original solution would be to supplement the bag with ready-made bent bamboo handles.

The decor gives bags made of knitted yarn a special charm: embroidery with the same knitted thread, but using different shades, ribbons, braid, sequins, beads, beads, buttons, brooches, key rings, appliques, leather cords, chains, fringes, pompons, tassels, fur, buckles, knitted and artificial flowers - the flight of imagination is simply endless.

Having barely learned how to hold knitting needles or a hook in their hands, any novice needlewoman can pamper herself with a new thing made of knitted yarn. Such bags do not require special skills and intricate knitting patterns.

Plain garter knitting is ideal for making bags from ribbon yarn. Crochet can be knitted with simple single crochet stitches. Such knitting turns out to be quite dense and does not require additional lining, while a handbag made using openwork knitting, although beautiful, needs an additional lining layer.

An ordinary bag-bag, with which it is convenient to go to the store, is knitted from one long or two identical square or rectangular parts from one-color or combined yarn. Side seams are sewn with a crochet hook (from the inside or "face") or a special plastic needle. If the bag is made of two parts, then the lower seam should be additionally strengthened by repeated stitching, since this is the place where the largest weight load of objects and things falls.

The bag, knitted on the knitting needles with a "braid" pattern, looks quite original, when groups of several loops are knitted alternately with an inclination to the right and then to the left.

The tilt to the left on this model is obtained by transferring the loops to the right. Loops that do not need to be knitted should be removed with an additional knitting needle, while the working thread remains on the front side. Loops from the wrong side must be removed without using the auxiliary knitting needle. When tilted to the right, the loops are carried to the left. An extra knitting needle should be placed in front of work, and a working thread behind it.
