Bruges lace

Mastering the technique of crocheting allows needlewomen to create truly unique and beautiful things. Now, at the peak of popularity, the so-called Bryug lace, which appeared in the Belgian city of Bruges. Brugge lace is an imitation of a ribbon lace woven on bobbins. The band-strip in them crochets continuously and thanks to various bends creates a unique pattern, because of what the bryug knitting was so popular back in the middle of the 18th century in Europe. And now fans of crocheting are addicted to the creation of tablecloths, napkins and even garments in this technique. It is not so difficult to master the Bryug lace. Enough desire and assiduity. Well, we'll tell you about the basics of knitting bryug lace for beginners.

Master class on knitting bryug lace

When knitting a bryug lace, the pattern is made up by an alternation of three components - ribbons, motifs and a photon mesh. It is their combination and allows you to create recognizable original patterns. Start work should be with knitting braids. The traditional braid is obtained by alternating 5 columns with one crochet and 6 air loops, which are necessary for creating an arched turn and passing into the next row. Having connected a chain of 10 air loops, we perform 5 columns with a crochet starting from the 6th loop. Then turn knitting, perform 5 air loops for the arch and again continue to perform 5 columns with a crochet.

This is an example of creating a simple braid for the Bryug crochet. Then you should learn how to perform a simple bending of the braid:

1. For this we knit a simple inner arch of six air loops.
2. Then we make a column without a crochet, 1 half-column and after that 2 stakes with one crochet.
3. Again we make an arch, but an outer one, out of 6 air loops, then we sew 4 columns with a crochet.
4. After that, repeat the steps described in points 2 and 3, four times.
5. As a result, we get in the center of the bend 4 narrow arches, which need to be closed in one ring. Having connected a new arch of 3 air loops, we successively connect the remaining internal arches by means of columns without a crochet, introducing a hook into the center of the arch.
6. After this, you need to make 3 air loops and close them in the ring. Having connected another arch of 3 air loops, we continue to knit the braid as usual.
7. Those sides of the braids that are adjacent to each other, you need to connect as far as tying: make 3 air loops, connect with the opposite arch column without a crochet, again we knit 3 air loops.

To master the art of Bryug lace, you should learn how to connect the arches of braids to each other. For example, reception "spider with a ring."

1. First, tie the braid width of 4 columns with a crochet and with the height of the arches in 6 air loops with a simple bend.
2. Then connect 5 air loops - in the diagram they are highlighted in blue. After that, connect 5 more air loops and close them in the ring, which is marked in the diagram in red.
3. The received ring should be tied with a column without a crochet, simultaneously connecting internal arches to a ring by means of a column with 1 crochet.
4. At the end of the work, 5 air loops are performed again, and knitting continues.

Knitting can be decorated with various motifs, for example, the motif "ring":

1. We begin work with 5 air loops for the first arch. After that, we knit 5 bars with a crochet at the beginning of the thread, again we make 5 air lifting loops.
2. On the straight knit 35 rows of braid, and then the first row is attached to the 36 row, thereby closing the braid in a circle.
3. It remains to fill the central part by performing 1 air loop to pull the thread and tighten the product. Then we make 6 columns with a crochet, we introduce a hook under two adjacent arches of a braid, we pull in 1 loop and we sew 2 loops in 1 nakid seven times. The same action is repeated in the next two arches and so on.

Thus, the Bryug crochet crochet is a fascinating knitting, resulting in a beautiful canvas. Having fixed their skills, needlewomen can tie a dress , a skirt, a blouse or a jacket in the style of a bryug lace.
