Generally knitting plaid is a very long and sometimes tedious work, but you can dilute a little monotonous monotonous knitting in a very simple way. You can make a plaid of shreds with your own hands. By shreds I mean individual squares connected either by one pattern or using different knitting patterns. You can try to create this cozy blanket:

In any case, this kind of blanket will look very original.

Since our blanket will consist of individual scraps, the question arises: how to sew a plaid with your own hands. Everything is very simple! A visual instruction for sewing knitted things is also attached:

We have figured out the technique, now we can proceed to the main topic: how to tie a plaid with our own hands.

For work we will need:

• Spokes 4 mm;
• Yarn of two colors;
• Needle for stitching parts;
• Scissors.

Knitting process:

I decided to tie a rug, consisting of patches of two colors: pink and white. I really like handkerchief, so I decided to stay on it as a pattern.

So, on the spokes 4mm, we collect 22 loops and we sew all the rows with face loops.

The height of each shred I will have 28 rows. Hence, in the 28th row all the loops need to be closed and the thread cut.

Repeat this action for another 63 squares. Of course, the number of squares can be different, it all depends on your wishes.

Now all our 64 scraps need to be connected among themselves, using the scheme given above. If you know how to crochet, then you can do an operation to assemble a rug with it.

Our patchwork plaid is ready! If desired, you can tie the edges of the crochet or knitting needles, using lace patterns for framing.

By the way, for those who are not at all friendly with knitting needles, there is another great option for creating a rug from shreds. You can use old sweaters. Scraps of sweaters are cut into equal parts and sewed together with a machine. Thus, you will not only give a second life to your favorite things, but also will please yourself with the softness and comfort of a brand-new rug.
You can even prepare a template from cardboard to quickly mark the boundaries of parts.

Or make a blanket from pieces of different sizes that will look even more interesting against the background of different texture of sweaters.

By the way, the edge of the sweater is better to be processed with a thick woolen thread, in order to avoid unraveling the threads.

Vua-la!

Another masterpiece is ready! I hope that the things created by your hands will warm you and give you comfort every day.
