How to make a lazy sweater in two evenings

Autumn has arrived, and as a woman, I am already beginning to think and plan what I will wear this season. After all, you want to look stylish and fashionable and at the same time not to waste all your salary on a new wardrobe.

I found a solution to this question about a year ago thanks to a familiar needlewoman. Maria told me about a technique called crazy wool, which translates to “crazy wool.” And that turned out to be exactly what I needed!





The author of the technique Jeannette Knake has developed it for those who are not very friendly with knitting and sewing, but at the same time want to acquire beautiful and unique things. Yeah, that happens!

Creasy Wool is a fashionable and interesting way knitting. Thanks to him, in a short time you can create large things that would take much longer to knit. And a nice bonus will be the fact that with this technique, the consumption of yarn for the creation of a sweater is reduced by 4-5 times.

And yet, this method is a salvation for people with increased skin sensitivity. I, for example, very poorly tolerate the touch of wool - it makes me itchy.

Work phases

1. The material for the canvas will be knitting threads. You can use the remains, even threads of different thickness and completely different texture will fit. Also useful wool for walling, scraps of fabric (they can be weaved into the pattern) and threads for sewing into the tone of the product. Of unusual materials, you will need a water-soluble stabilizer for embroidery and a spray fixer for embroidery or wool painting. A stabilizer is such a translucent fabric, similar to a cellophane matte film. All these materials you can easily find in shops for needlework. A sewing machine may also be useful.
   
   
   
   
   
   
2. At the beginning of work, you need to decompose a piece of stabilizer by the size of the future product. If the product has a complex outline, the stabilizer should be cut according to the pattern.
   
   
   
   
3. Then spray the fixator on the surface of the stabilizer.
   
   
   
   
4. To create the pattern itself, threads are laid out on the stabilizer. For the first layer of thread can be laid out in a chaotic order.
   
   
   
   The second layer of threads can be laid out like the first, but if you plan to create a pattern, it is better to lay out the threads of the desired color.
   
   
   
   
   
   The third and all subsequent layers should be laid out in accordance with the chosen pattern or color solution. Depending on the complexity of the drawing, you may need a different number of layers. For example, a simple openwork scarf will require 5 layers of thread.
   
   
   
   
   
   
5. When the pattern is laid out with threads, it should be fixed with a retainer or hair varnish, and then cover the product from above with a layer of stabilizer.
   
   
   
   
6. For the final completion of the work, the resulting canvas should be chaotically lined on the sewing machine. The distance between the seams is not more than 2 cm, and if the pattern is small, then 1.5 cm or even less.
   
   
   
   
7. The stitched product should be dipped in warm water so that the stabilizer dissolves.
   
   
   
   
8. After the product dries, you should tie the edges with a hook or treat with braiding. If further assembly is planned, the edges can not be processed.
