Choosing yarn

When choosing yarn, you need to think about what characteristics it should have. Since the cradle must have some, at least minimal, rigidity, the yarn should be selected accordingly. It is important that it can be washed without fading, otherwise after the first wash you risk ruining such an unusual creation.

Pay attention to the knitted tape yarn. It will give the product the necessary rigidity and you will not have any problems with caring for it.As for the color scheme, there are no limits to your imagination. Experiment and choose the options you like.

Diagram and description

Let's assume you've chosen ribbon yarn. You will need 6 skeins, as well as a hook of a size suitable for the thickness of the thread.

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

To make the bottom of the cradle rigid, make its base out of plywood. It is necessary to make holes along the entire perimeter at an even distance from each other.

Next, follow the following algorithm:

1. Tie the bottom of the product with a sc (single crochet).
2. Now you need to raise the sides. Knit a new row behind the back of the stitch of the previous row. Using this pattern, knit in the round to the required height of the sides.
3. Next you will need to tie a small roof. You can knit it separately, but in the end you will need 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 posts.

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