Knitting borders
In practice, needlewomen use different methods to decorate a tablecloth.
Finish options
There are several ways to crochet a tablecloth trim.
- border of individual elements;
- fillet pattern;
- single canvas.
The finishing elements can be connected with single motifs and then assembled into a single piece. A needlewoman can also use continuous knitting . In this method, the elements are knitted one after another, for example, as shown in the figure.
Sample continuous method
REFERENCE . In fillet knitting, a pattern is formed by knitting a mesh with hollow or filled cells.
Example of a fillet pattern
And the last method, the most common, is lace fabric, which is obtained using a combination of different patterns.
IMPORTANT! You can tie a tablecloth by tying the border as you work. But for inexperienced craftswomen it is worth knitting this element separately and then sewing it on.
Selection of yarn and hook
In achieving an excellent final result, the selection of the right material and tools plays an important role.
For tying the tablecloth, you should choose plastic yarn. Linen, cotton and silk are best suited.
It is also worth choosing the color of the threads carefully. If you want to create a product in one color scheme, choose a fiber for the border that is a tone darker than the main color.
A model made in a contrasting manner will also look original.
Attention! Before starting knitting, wipe the tool with a soft cloth.
The tool is selected according to the thickness of the thread. If you fold it in half, the thickness should be equal to the volume of the hook head.
Knitting options
Separately, it should be mentioned that the strapping can be done without an angle and with this part.
The following decor options are available.
- Tying in a circle . In this case, you can use the last rows of the napkin pattern as a border.
Circular variation pattern
- Border with an angle . For tying a rectangular or square base, options with an angle are more often used.
Example of a border with an angle
- The figured version is more difficult to manufacture, but it is the most attractive and unusual.

Wide border for crochet tablecloth
Hello, dear ladies. Today I am with the tablecloth. For me, a tablecloth is not only a decorative element, but also protection for the tabletop, so I prefer fabric options. The last time, the fabric turned out to be very wide, so much so that the dressmakers sewed me a full tablecloth and cut out a circle, a little larger than my tabletop, which I decided to tie with a border. Here's what happened in the end:

I have a sewn border, in case the tablecloth gets permanently stained.
So first I knitted a strip of lace.

And then she tied the border itself to this strip.

I took the edge diagram in the public domain, many thanks to the author!
And between them I knitted stitches with three crochets and three air loops without any pattern. As you can see, my border is a circle. I made the increments as follows: for every centimeter of diameter you need to add a little over three centimeters of length. If there are more, there will be coattails. I counted how many loops there were in three centimeters and divided them evenly along the entire length of the circumference. If the row is 0.5 cm, then increase in each row.
Threads - Italian cotton egipto16, 453 m in 50 g. Hook 0.7.

Thank you for your attention, peace, kindness, love.
Scalloped border
The cast-on edge with scallops can be made from a different number of loops; in our case, the repeat consists of 6 loops. Once the edge is formed, one scallop will have 3 loops. This means that you need to cast on twice as many loops. For example, the front of a cardigan is knitted from 50 stitches, which means 100 stitches are cast on for the scalloped border.

Knitting pattern:
Pattern repeat: 6 loops; 2 rows. Please pay attention! From one scallop (6 loops) you get 3 loops.
The number of loops is a multiple of 6 + 2 edge loops.
- ROW 1: K1, which we return to the left knitting needle and throw 5 loops on top of it, then return this loop to the right knitting needle and pull up the thread.
- ROW 2: P1; 2 air loops.
The third row is knitted at your discretion. These can be facial loops or the beginning of the main pattern.

Crocheted tablecloth: 12 models with diagrams, descriptions and video MK
A tablecloth often determines the style of a home interior. Ready-made store-bought products can’t always make it look sophisticated and cozy. But a hand-crocheted openwork tablecloth will certainly decorate your home. For beginner knitters, it is better to choose simple patterns from motifs.
In this case, the work will go faster, and you won’t be afraid to make a mistake. After all, correcting a mistake on a fragment is much easier than retying the entire tablecloth. This article with a selection of different options with diagrams and descriptions will help you knit a beautiful tablecloth with your own hands.
Knitting technique
To create a crocheted fillet border, you just need to know how to crochet a chain loop and a double crochet. These elements form square cells, from which a fillet mesh is obtained.
It is necessary to tension the thread evenly when working, then the columns will be the same in height. This is the main condition for obtaining an even crocheted fillet border, the diagrams and description of which include filled cells (3 single crochets), as well as unfilled ones - 1 stitch and 2 chain stitches. The combination of these elements allows you to obtain a variety of patterns that fillet knitting is rich in: the crochet border is built from motifs in the form of flowers, fruits, stars, and any geometric shapes.
To ensure that the edge is even, it is tied with single crochet stitches: 5 stitches above every second cell.

For each of them, we dial 261 VP with our own hands and for 65 rubles. We knit a fillet pattern according to the image of the diagram. The motif is tied in a circular arch of 7 VP. At corner turns, we increase the number of VPs in the arch to 9 pieces.
Already knitting the 2nd motif, we connect it with the 1st. At the same time, as indicated in the diagram, we replace the middle VP with a connecting column in the central loop of the reciprocal arch.
For tying, a border of 12 circular rows is used. In every r. We knit the arches according to the pattern, and in the 4th, 6th, 8th, 10th and 12th rows of the binding we make fluffy stubs.

Crochet edging patterns
You can even come up with any design yourself by drawing it on checkered paper and coloring in the squares. The thinner the threads are, the more delicate the crocheted fillet border will turn out (diagrams and descriptions of the work are available on websites for needlewomen). For clarity, you can watch free photos and video master classes.
The edge of the fabric is knitted smooth or with teeth, which are created by decreasing and adding cells. The decrease is done at the beginning, skipping elements using connecting posts, or not knitting the row to the end.
If you need to add cells, cast on 6 loops: 3 for the base of the cell, another 3 instead of the first column. Then turn the workpiece over, continuing according to the scheme. When you need to add a cage at the end of a row, the hook is inserted through the base of the last column and additional elements are knitted.

The length of the row in this case will be determined by the size of the item. In this way you can turn old models into fashionable and elegant ones, decorate cardigans, skirts, capes. A narrow strip of openwork lace will give familiar items a romantic look.
Product strapping schemes:
You can decorate the edge of a square napkin using the fillet knitting technique. In this case, the border needs to start from the corner: tie the element that will be the base, and then tie one ribbon to it until the desired length is reached. After this, turn the workpiece counterclockwise 90 degrees and knit the next strip. In this way you can tie the other 2 sides of the square.
