Crocheting a New Year's napkin is quite simple. The main thing is to choose a suitable scheme. Patterns for crocheting New Year's napkins, accompanied by a detailed description of the work, can be found in abundance on the Internet and in specialized literature. The main thing is to carefully study the diagram and a description before starting work, and then crocheting a New Year’s napkin, a snowflake or a Christmas tree dedicated to the New Year’s theme will be quite easy.
New Year's scarves with images of snowflakes, Christmas trees, and Santa Claus can be knitted as a gift to family or friends. Or you can knit New Year's canvases for an exhibition. Beautiful Christmas trees, snowflakes, sleighs with deer, crocheted using a simple pattern, will create a festive atmosphere in the house. In addition to crocheted napkins, you can make original paper decorations using the silhouette cutting technique with the same theme: snowflakes, Christmas trees, candles, Christmas tree decorations. Schemes for paper silhouette handkerchiefs with a description of the openwork cutting technique are also presented on the Internet.
To crochet a napkin with a picture of a snowflake or scrap using a ready-made pattern, you need to prepare everything you need for the work. If the diagram of a beautiful snowflake will always be at hand, a novice craftswoman can easily and quickly knit a napkin. To crochet a craft with a New Year's pattern yourself, you will need:
Having prepared everything you need, you can start working. To make a snowflake or Christmas tree smooth, beautiful, and symmetrical, you must carefully follow the pattern. If something is unclear in the scheme, it is better to initially choose a simpler option. The easiest way is to crochet a simple snowflake, consisting of six to eight straight rays diverging in different directions. However, experienced craftswomen can create snowflakes of the most intricate shape using a crochet hook.
You need to be very careful while knitting to all symbols presented in the diagram. Those who do not like to knit a snowflake can choose another simple version of the New Year's napkin - a Christmas tree. A Christmas tree can be knitted from green yarn. The finished Christmas tree can be decorated with handmade embroidery. You can embroider candles, beads or elegant balls. This Christmas tree will be a great gift for New Year or Christmas.
And if you attach a piece of paper with New Year’s wishes to the Christmas tree napkin, it will turn out to be a very unusual card. In general, a New Year's napkin is a truly universal thing. You can make anything out of it: a postcard, a decoration for a holiday table, and from several identical small napkins (for example, snowflakes) you can make a real holiday garland. To do this, they need to be connected to each other using decorative clips and hang an impromptu garland of snowflakes directly above the festive table.
You can also decorate a New Year tree that stands outside (for example, in a country house) with such crafts. That's why New Year's napkins are such popular holiday decor items: you can make anything out of them. The main thing is that the napkins themselves are knitted beautifully and evenly, in full accordance with the diagram and description of the work. A beautifully crocheted New Year's themed napkin will certainly fill your home with New Year's and Christmas mood, and then all year long it will remind you of these wonderful holidays, especially in the hot summer, when you really want to have at least a small piece of winter at home.
Before knitting a napkin in the shape of a snowflake or Christmas trees, you need to decide on the scheme. Each needlewoman has her own signature way of knitting elegant snowflakes. To knit a New Year's themed napkin, it is advisable to consider as many different options as possible. Of these, you need to choose the scheme according to which it will be easiest to connect it. The most popular subjects for drawing on New Year's napkins are:
Experienced craftswomen can easily crochet a whole picture dedicated to a New Year or Christmas theme. However, It will be easier for beginner knitters Just start with ordinary hexagonal snowflakes. Another simple option is a traditional Christmas tree. It’s better to master everything else later, when snowflakes and Christmas trees are already considered a “passed stage.”
However, even if a novice knitter knows how to knit only a simple napkin in the shape of a snowflake, she can create a real handmade masterpiece - a tablecloth consisting of individual elements. To do this you need to crochet many identical snowflakes, and then tie them together with a needle and thread. The result will be a very original New Year's tablecloth. It is advisable to use snowflake napkins of two bright contrasting colors to make such a tablecloth (for example, red and white, blue and white) and alternate elements of the two colors in a checkerboard pattern.
The main advantage of such a tablecloth is that it looks very impressive and elegant, creating a festive atmosphere in the house. However, there is also a drawback: the production Such a tablecloth will take quite a lot of time, and a beginning knitter may get a little tired of knitting monotonous snowflakes. Another disadvantage is that if one of the elements of the tablecloth is different from the others in some way (for example, one snowflake is slightly larger than the others or a little uneven compared to the others), it is glaringly obvious.
To crochet an original New Year's napkin, a novice craftswoman must first of all learn to read crochet patterns and clearly learn the basic conventions used in these patterns (for example, “single crochet”, “double crochet”, “half crochet”, “chain loop”) "). Without knowing these designations, you won’t be able to figure out the diagram.
To knit New Year's napkins, it is recommended to use thin synthetic yarn. However, it should not be too thin, because yarn that is too thin will tear and tangle. When the napkin is completely ready so that it holds its shape well, it can be starched.
Ready-made napkins can be hung on the walls as decoration along with paper snowflakes. This decor will look very beautiful and stylish. However, it is not recommended to hang a lot of knitted snowflakes on the walls, because they are excellent “dust collectors”.
A New Year's craft made with your own hands using a crochet hook can be given to family and friends. You can give a napkin as a stand-alone gift, or you can have the napkin, like a postcard, attached to some more serious gift.
For knitting New Year's snowflakes Yarn of any color, even the brightest, is perfect. But most often New Year's snowflakes are blue, light blue, white, gray, and less often - purple, lilac. Christmas trees usually come in light green and dark green, depending on the preferences of the beginning craftswoman. The traditional colors of Christmas and New Year in Europe are red and white. Yarn in these colors can also be used to make holiday napkins.
You can knit New Year's napkins with knitting needles, the main thing is to have basic knitting skills. However, they are most often crocheted, because it is the hook that makes it possible to create the most beautiful openwork patterns. Crochet patterns, are distinguished by much more openwork and airiness than patterns knitted with knitting needles.
Making New Year's napkins (snowflakes, Christmas trees and other pictures) on your hands using the crochet technique is an exciting hobby. This activity will help you immerse yourself in the atmosphere of the upcoming holidays long before the New Year and Christmas. Decorating the interior with elegant New Year's napkins provides a unique opportunity to create a unique holiday feeling for adults and children. New Year's holidays with such crafts will be remembered for a long time. Using New Year-themed napkins to decorate a festive interior is an original design solution that suits absolutely everyone. Of course, to create these napkins, a novice craftswoman will have to work hard, but the result will be exactly the best.
During the cold season, you really want to please yourself and your loved ones with the beauty that is so rare around! And it’s not at all necessary to mourn the summer days; you can bring comfort into your home based on a winter fairy tale, if you know how to create festive symbols of winter with your own hands.

Simple crochet snowflake No. 1
This snowflake is knitted according to the following pattern and detailed description with photo:
We make a ring of thread and knit 1 air lifting loop.
1st row: we knit 8 single crochets into a ring, tighten the ring of thread and knit a connecting stitch, inserting the hook into the first single crochet of this row.
2nd row: we knit 3 air loops of lifting + 2 air loops according to the pattern pattern (i.e. we knit 5 air loops), in the next loop we knit a double crochet, then we knit 2 air loops, *in the next loop 1 double crochet, again 2 air loops * from * we continue knitting until the end of the row.
We close the row with a connecting post, insert the hook into the 3rd lifting air loop.
3rd row: in order to move on to knitting from an arch, we knit 1 connecting stitch, then 2 chain stitches, we knit 3 double crochets with a common top, then we knit 5 chain loops, *in the next arch we knit 4 double crochets with a common top, again 5 chain stitches *, continue knitting from * to the end of the row. We close the row with a connecting column, inserting a hook into the common top of the columns.
4th row: we knit 1 chain stitch and 1 single crochet in the same base loop, we knit a picot of 3 chain loops, and a single crochet in the same base loop, then we knit a picot of 5 chain loops, and a single crochet in the same base loop, knit a picot of 3 chain loops and a single crochet, inserting a hook into the same loop, then we knit 3 chain loops *at the common top of the next group of stitches we similarly knit 1 single crochet, a picot of 3 chain loops, 1 single crochet, picot of 5 chain loops, 1 single crochet, picot of 3 chain loops, 1 single crochet.
Let's try to crochet a few more options for simple snowflakes, and detailed master classes will help us with this.
Simple crochet snowflake No. 2
To make working with the diagram and description easier and more convenient, we will use the following abbreviations:
VP
- air loop;
PSN
– half double crochet;
CCH
– double crochet;
RLS
– single crochet;
СС2Н
– double crochet stitch;
СС3Н
– double crochet stitch;
SS
– connecting column.
Scheme and progress of work:
1st row: 4 VP (replacing 1 CCH + 1 VP), * 1 CCH, 1 VP* 6 times. Tighten the slip knot. Connect the circle of PSN in 3 VP row lifting.
2nd row: 1 VP, 1 RLS in the same arch, * 5 VP, 1 RLS we knit into the arch between the DCS of the previous row*. Repeat from * to * until the end of the row. The row ends with 1 sc in the arch, 2 ch, 1 sc in the first sc at the beginning of this row. Thus, each new row will begin in the middle of the previous petal.
3rd row: 4 VP, 1 RLS in the same arch, * 5 VP, in a large arch we knit 1 RLS, 3 VP, and in the same arch 1 RLS *. Thus we repeat from * to * until the last arch. In the last arch of the row we knit 1 RLS, 3 VP, 1 RLS and finish the row with 2 VP, in the first VP of the rise we knit 1 RLS. Once again you should be in the middle of the petal.
4th row: 4 VP, 1 RLS in the same arch, *7 VP, in a large arch we knit 1 RLS, 3 VP, and in the same arch 1 RLS*. Thus we repeat from * to * until the last arch. In the last large arch of the row we knit 1 RLS, 3 VP, 1 RLS and finish the row with 3 VP, in the first VP of the rise we knit 1 CC2H. Once again you should be in the middle of the petal.
5 row: 4 VP, 1 RLS in the same arch, *9 VP, in the large arch we knit 1 RLS, 3 VP, and in the same arch 1 RLS*. Thus we repeat from * to * until the last arch. In the last large arch of the row we knit 1 RLS, 3 VP, 1 RLS and finish the row with 4 VP, in the first VP of the rise we knit 1 SS3N. Once again you should be in the middle of the petal.
6th row: 4 VP, in the arch you knit 5 RLS, * 5 VP, in the large arch you knit 5 RLS-3 VP-5 RLS*. In this way, repeat from * to * until the end of the row. The row ends with 5 sc in the last large arch and SS in the first 1 ch of lifting this row.
We offer another option for a crocheted New Year's snowflake, which will be useful in decorating your home.
Simple crochet snowflake No. 3
You need to start knitting from the center, and you can do this in two ways:
Again we make a connecting post and three air loops, closing the arc with a connecting post. To make it clearer, we periodically look at the photo below.
There should be 6 such arcs. Close the row with a connecting post.
We tie the first arch: 1 single crochet, 3 chain stitches, 2 single crochets.
We also tie the second and third arch: 2 single crochets, 3 chain stitches and 2 single crochets.
We repeat three more times. This concludes the master class for beginners. We have already created an openwork little star. But let's try to knit it even more and more beautifully.
Start the third row with a connecting post. Next is the row report: 1 single crochet, 3 chain stitches, 1 single crochet, 5 chain stitches, 1 single crochet, 3 chain stitches, 1 single crochet, 2 chain stitches.
Repeat the row report 5 more times.
We got an openwork crocheted snowflake that can be starched and hung on a Christmas tree.

We have been knitting this large snowflake according to the author’s pattern, developed specifically for the “Handicraft Runet” for the second year in a row. For anyone who wants to knit this napkin in one sitting, we recommend looking at all the patterns and comments. And in this note we will preserve the tradition of joint knitting and will publish patterns step by step, following the craftswomen who are knitting this napkin right now on our forum.
Are you interested and want to join in knitting together? Then this is the place for you: forum topic " " .
To knit a napkin you will need any threads and a suitable hook. The snowflake shown in the photo is made of white cotton yarn, slightly thicker than the popular "Iris" threads, crocheted 1.65 mm. The finished size of the napkin is about 28 cm.
Starting row: we knit a chain of 6 chain stitches and close it into a ring with a connecting post.
1st row: evenly knit 12 single crochets (SC) into a ring, start the row with a chain lifting loop, which is equivalent to the first SC.
2nd row: we start with a lifting chain loop, which is equivalent to the first sc, one sc in each sc of the previous row.
3rd row: three lifting loops = double crochet + 2 chain stitches, then (*) double crochet (dc) in sc in previous row, 2 chain stitches. Repeat from (*) to the end of the circle.
4th row: three lifting loops = the first dc of the “lush column”, 4 dc in the base of the dc of the previous row, then we connect the first and last columns with a connecting column, a “lush column” is formed, 3 chain loops, (*) a lush column in dc previous row, 3 air loops. Repeat from (*) to the end of the circle.
Each puffy column consists of 5 dc (the last and first columns are fastened with a connecting column); many people call this type of puffy column “popcorn”. If you prefer the usual fluffy double crochet stitches, you can use those as well. This is not important for this model.
5th row: three lifting loops = double crochet + 5 chain loops, then (*) double crochet (CH) in the fluffy column of the previous row, 5 chain loops. Repeat from (*) to the end of the circle.
6th row: we start with a lifting chain loop, which is equivalent to the first sc, then 6 sc in the arch of 5 chain loops of the previous row. (*) 1 sc in the dc of the previous row, 6 sc in the arch of 5 chain loops of the previous row. Repeat from (*) to the end of the circle.
7th row: three lifting loops = first double crochet, then 1 dc in each sc of the previous row.

Knitting patterns and explanations for the last rows of the snowflake napkin
18th row: in each arch of 11 chain stitches we knit 10 double crochets, only the beginning is a little non-standard, we make 3 lifting loops = the first double crochet, then 4 double crochets, we get half a group of 10 double crochets, and the second We will knit half, finishing the row.
In the 19th row we got a little trick: we knit a triple picot. We do it as follows: we knit three air loops, insert the hook into the first loop from the beginning and make a connecting column, the first picot is ready. Then we knit three air loops again and repeat the process, the second picot is ready. We repeat the same for the third picot. After this, we insert the hook into the first loop of the first picot and make another connecting stitch, we end up with a trefoil.
Hooray! Our snowflake napkin is ready!
