Choose yarn

When choosing yarn, you need to consider what characteristics it should have.

Since the cradle should have some, even minimal stiffness, you should choose the appropriate yarn. It is important that it can be washed, and it does not fade, otherwise after the first wash, you risk spoiling such an unusual creation.

Pay attention to knitted ribbon yarn. It will give the product the necessary stiffness and you will have no problems taking care of it. As for the color scheme - there are no restrictions for your imagination. Experiment and choose the options you like.

Scheme and Description

Suppose we chose ribbon yarn. You will need 6 skeins, as well as a hook suitable for the thickness of the thread size.

IMPORTANT. The number of a suitable hook for the thread is indicated by the manufacturer of the yarn on the package.

To make the bottom of the cradle hard, make its base from plywood. Holes should be made along the entire perimeter at an even distance from each other.

Next, follow the following algorithm:

1. Tie the bottom of the RLS product (single crochet).
2. Now you need to raise the sides. Knit a new row at the back of the buttonhole of the previous row. According to this scheme, knit in a circle to the desired height of the sides.
3. Next, you need to tie a small roof. You can tie it separately, but in the end it will be necessary to connect the parts together.
4. For ease of carrying, you can tie the handles. To do this, you need to dial a chain of VP (air loops). Next, tie them with regular columns.

When the product is assembled, its edge can be tied with lace, which can also be tied with a hook.
