The perfect option for knowing the world of knitting is to try to tie a simple thing from Alize Puffy yarn. It's very easy to create from such a fiber - the needlework will not even need additional tools, only the desire to create and free time. In this article we will tell you what is Alize Puffy yarn and how to work with it.
Features of yarn
The yarn with an interesting name name Alize Puffy became a real breakthrough in knitting - production technology of yarn with finished loops recently invented in Turkey. In a short period of time, innovative material has become a favorite subject for creativity of many needlewomen, including beginners.
From other types of yarn Alize Puffy distinguishes an unusual characteristic - the teddy material of the thread is made in the form of a chain of identical cavetles. The fiber structure does not require the use of the hook and spokes - the loops knit manually. In addition, the fluffy thread is very mild and pleasant to the touch, so the cropping process becomes also relaxing.
Binding the details of the material among themselves, the masters can create simple and intricate patterns using simple schemes or unusual weaving methods. There are a lot of different techniques for creating plaids from an unusual thread, allowing to embody the ideas of a knitter into life.
The diverse palette of the colors of this product is also very wide - each person can find an interesting shade or create a multi-colored pattern of Alize Puffy Color yarn.
Calculation of the amount of thread
Learn the exact consumption of threads is best in practice, tied a small sample of the canvas from one meka, and then measuring the resulting product size. Having created a small cloth with the selected pattern, consider the number of loops that participated in the work. Let us give an example of further calculation.
- Measure the width that loops in work. For example, take 18 loops whose width is 30 cm.
- To make a plaid 150 cm wide, make up the proportion from the width of the plaid, multiplied by the number of working loops of the sample and separated by the width of the sample: 150 x 18: 30 = 90 loops.
- After that, consider the recurring ripport of knitting and poning under it the number of loops.
- Also, pay special attention to the strapping, calculating how many centimeters it takes. From the entire width of the canvas, take the strapping on each side and calculate the amount of loops without it.
- In length, knit blanket until you reach the desired size.
It is important to remember that the calculation of the amount of threads completely depends on how you plan to intertwine the loop. The dimensions of the finished covers differ strongly in the following knitting schemes:
- smooth - the consumption of the material is minimal, so the product is obtained by large and economical;
- "Braided" - the crossing of the kettop requires an average filament consumption;
- "Kosy" - complex patterns require a large number of yarn, so it is necessary to purchase a material with a margin.
People who first try to knit on their own, best start with the simplest scheme - knitting, and first try to make a small children's plaid. Sophisticated patterns and large bedspreads are created longer and require a lot of effort, so they can beat off the desire to continue knit from newbies. Experienced handicrafts who knit before with the help of a hook or spoke, can easily create a beautiful plaid with intricate patterns, because it is easier to knit with their hands and faster than special tools.
To calculate the required amount of material, you need to find out the parameters of the yarn. Most often, Alize Puffy has the following characteristics:
- The packaging of the goods consists of 5 engines, which is enough for the creation of an 80x80 cm floating flood;
- Standard weight 1 wow - 100 grams;
- The length of the thread in the Motkey is 9 meters.
These parameters apply only to the usual Alize Puffy yarn, for other types of threads of this manufacturer, it is necessary to carry out individual calculations, because the length and density of the material differ.
We offer to familiarize yourself with the prepared calculations for knitting plaids for children and adults.
For children's products
To tie a plush bedspread for a child, you need quite some yarn. Consider consumption of material for knitting.
- For a newborn baby, a product of 80x80 cm is enough. To make such a blanket, you will need 5 alize puffy intake.

To create a big plaid for an adult, you will need much more yarn and time for knitting. Large products require tremendous effort and inspiration, because they are easy to throw it into a distant corner to other non-touch things, so it is better to try to associate the product in the article.
Consider a Read more Consumption of yarn for a large blanket:
- For the canvas with parameters 150x180 cm, you must purchase 18 sweatings of the thread;
- The product with a size of 180x200 cm requires from 20 to 23 alize puffy motors depending on the density of mating;
- Double plaid with the 190x200 cm parameters involves the use of 24-26 yarn balls;

Description of knitting different patterns
Despite the fact that the thread Alize Puffy went on sale recently, rukodelniki already try different options weaving and knitting scheme. For unusual yarn suitable for knitting the same methods that are used for knitting needles, but the work is done with your fingers. Method buttonhole thread needlework is very simple, because the fabric does not need to turn - the whole process is carried out with one hand.
We propose to consider several ways to weave, from the most simple method to a complex variant.
facial loops
Before the work, determine what size will the product and calculate the consumption of thread, tying a small sample. To work, you'll need a pair of scissors and the required number of balls of yarn. Next step by step perform an easy way to knit facial loops.
- Spread the thread from the first tangle, taking into account the width of the future product and deploy all the loops up.
- Turn the thread and decompose parallel to the first thread of the ears down.
- Start knitting: the last loop of the lower row to the high loop of the upper row. In the process of work, follow the rings not twisted, otherwise the product will be inhomogeneous.
- Count all the first thread loops in the loop of the second thread, sending free up to the end of the row.
- Then spread the third thread and repeat the method until the required length of the product is obtained.
When the first ball ends, cut the last ear to get a tail. Just do with the first rings of a new tangler and tie the ends with a dense knot. Cut the ends of the yarn and continue to determine the same method.
Having achieved the required length, the remaining free loops to retire each other, starting from the left edge. Having finished the series, cut off the extra thread, leaving one extra loop. Cut the extra ring, to grind it into the last loop of the closed row 2-3 times and cut the tail. The end of the thread at the beginning of knitting should also be cut off. Plaid the facial loops is ready.
"Network"
Very unusual, dense and beautiful it turns out the pattern, made with the help of interlacing pair of loop. To calculate the required number of thread intake, it is necessary to apply a special formula - the length of the width of the constant. The constant (constant number) for the "Braided" pattern is the number of clubs needed to create a 100x100 cm web, and the number is 7.25.
For the manufacture of plaid 120x150 cm. Move the size of the product to meters and calculate the calculation according to the formula above: 1.2 * 1.5 * 7.25 = 13.05. As a result, you will receive the number of yarn machines needed for the manufacture of the plaid with a size of 120x150 cm. However, it will not be possible to buy 13 balls and a little bit more, so round the amount up to a greater value - 14 pieces. The consumption of material for the creations of another size is performed in the same way, but this method is suitable only for the "Braided" pattern.
For convenience, cut the first loop at the bottom to remain a tail, which will later be carefully referred to in the plaid. Consider the step-by-step making of the "Braided" pattern on the example of the 85x85 cm plaid.
- On the loop thread count exactly 50 ears, then cross the last ring with the 49th loop so that the loop, looking towards weaving (right to left). On the free part of the thread, capture the 51st and 52th loops and the thread through the crossed rings 50 and 49, respectively. Gently pull out 51 and 52 on the front side of the canvas and direct up. The loop of the second row is not needed.
- Continue to repeat the described manipulation to the end of the row, binding paired rings. Do not forget to intersect the ears of the lower row in the direction of weaving and sparkle the loop so that they do not twist.
- Each next row will unfold in the opposite direction. To do this, leave the last working loop untouched and start crossing from the 2nd and 3rd working rings in the opposite of the previous row direction. Two ears made of free threads to make in crossed loops, repeating the method described above, but in the other direction (from left to right). As a result, at the end of the second row there will remain one working loop - this is the 1st ring of the 3rd row.
- Crossrest the 1st ear of the 3rd row with a neighboring working loop, turning the drawing to the right left. Continue repeating weaving the method described above until the needle length is obtained.
To complete the plaid, make free working ears in each other, starting with the opposite free thread of the edge.
To complete the work, cut off the excess thread, leaving one additional loop. Cut the extra eye into the base and thread the resulting tail through the last working ring. Cut free thread or fill in the pattern.
Spit
Another very interesting version of the creation of a plaid from the plush yarn is a "braid" pattern. On the finished canvase, neat zigzags resembling pigtails are obtained. Such a plaid can be made both for a child and for an adult.
To get the "Spit" pattern, it will take a little more time, effort and attention to not get confused in alternating patterns and turning crossed loops. Before work, count the even number of rings in the width of the future bedspread.
- The first row is inserted by simply producing the hinges of the 2nd row through the ears of the 1st row without crossing and twisting.
- In the second row of working loops, it is necessary to intersect and proceed through them the ears of a free thread, creating a drawing.
- The third row is pronounced in the same way as the first - simple hinges. Next, repeat the scheme until the canvas becomes the necessary length.
Check the number of loops after each closed row - they should be as much as you counted for the first row. Completion of knitting occurs in the same way as in the previous methods: the ears are pronounced each other, and the last loose loop fastens the weaving.
Hearts
Such a romantic pattern is best weave from yarn of different colors, alternating shade every two rows. The hearts are viewed on a multi-colored plaid much better than on a monophonic product. Another feature of the drawing - it knits along the length of the bedspread, and not by its width. For this reason, the main thread must be measured by the length of the future blanket, and not in width, as in previous methods.
Consider the method of manufacturing a two-color pattern "Hearts". For knitting, count the even number of loops corresponding to the desired length of the product. Next follow the instructions.
- The ears of the first threads cross the right left and check them free thread.
- In the second row, add another thread from the edge opposite to the beginning of knitting. Cross the working threads and check them with the second color of the yarn.
- To the last loop in the second row, add the first color loop and check them.
- Turn the second thread to the other side and check the row, crossing the working threads and complementing them with free ears, is the third row.
- The fourth row is again written by the first thread - cross the working loops and proceed through them a free thread. Low loop in the row lift the same way as in the second row when adding color.
- The fifth row is in the opposite direction of the first thread. The drawing is repeated until the plaid becomes the necessary width.
The "Hearts" pattern can be made of more colors, but in such a situation it is necessary to cut and tie a new color every two rows.
For details on how to knit the "Hearts" pattern, see the next video.
Roma
To connect the pattern "ROME", it is necessary to carefully plan the work of work, calculate the consumption of materials and make a scheme for its size. Figure with diamonds is quite complicated, so it is not suitable for newcomers.
One rhombus is created on the canvas using a sequential inspection of loops in a clear sequence. The drawing will be completed only after tissue 6 rows. Before work, be sure to make the pattern on a small sample.
How to care for a blanket?
With incorrect care, a knitted plaid may lose its silky, a soft structure, so you need to stick to a few simple rules when washing and drying. Consider the care of the covering of the looping yarn.
- Washing. It is best for the plaid from Alize Puffy a manual wash at a water temperature not above 30 degrees. However, if you plan to erase a large cloth, then make it manually will be too difficult. In such a situation, it is possible to wash the product in a typewriter at a temperature of 30 degrees with a spin-on turned on.
- Household chemicals. To save the fibers, use liquid detergents for delicate washing. You can increase the efficiency of the applied composition using the air conditioner, and the plaid is not recommended to add a bleach during cleaning.
- Drying. Knitted canvas need to be dried in a horizontal position so that they are not deformed. With the children's problems there will be no problems - it is enough to decompose them on the dryer. With a big blanket, things are more complicated, however, after pressing in a washing machine, it becomes almost dry. Due to the fact that there are quite a bit of moisture in the fibers, a large canvas can be collapsed 2-3 times and also decompose on the dryer, only periodically changing its position.
- Ironing If in the process of cleaning the man-made product was remembered, do not hurry to use the iron - it can burn the burdens of yarn and spoil the texture of the weaving. Ironing the plaid must be ferry without touching the iron to the surface of the creation of Alize Puffy.
Beautiful examples
A variety of patterns and colors allows you to implement the most unexpected and bold ideas for the manufacture of plaids. We suggest to consider several beautiful options for creating a plaid from Alize Puffy yarn.
- Pattern "Mesfirka". Soft, plush yarn very much resembles a touch of elastic marshmallows, the similarity will become even stronger if you make an appropriate pattern.
- The combination of patterns and strapping. For children's plaid of a small size acquired a new life after the child has grown, you can bind it to the edge with an additional web from Alize Puffy.
