They say that everything new is well forgotten old. And the material that will be discussed only confirms this.
Knitted yarn is a thin fabric. It can be purchased at yarn sales points or made independently. Products made from this fiber are quite dense. They keep their shape wonderfully.
Our grandmothers also made such a thread on their own, from old clothes, and knitted beautiful, colorful rugs. Today's craftswomen have breathed new life into old needlework. Now you can knit a neat basket or a stylish handbag from this material. Let's take a closer look at how this happens, using the example of crocheting a handbag.
Yarn 
In the creation of any thing, the original material plays a decisive role. In our case, this is knitted yarn. This fiber can be obtained in two ways.
- Buy special ribbon yarn in the store. It is a skein of flat cord or ribbon, knitted from a thin thread.
Yarn sample
- Make it yourself. To do this, take unnecessary clothes and cut them into thin ribbons. Then sew the pieces together and roll them into a ball.
- Another option for constructing this material is as follows. From a thin thread, use a hook or knitting needles to knit a thin strip of the required length and wind it into a skein.
Hook 
You will need a fairly thick hook. To determine its size, you need to fold the thread in two layers and compare the resulting thickness with the thickness of the tool head. Both indicators should be equal.
Additional details
More for you you will need to select fixing elements, fittings and decor.
Can act as fasteners buttons, zipper, velcro or snaps, depending on the chosen model and personal preferences.
For fittings it is usually used various rings for attaching the handle or the handle itself, if you prefer a purchased variation.
Each craftswoman decorates the product individually.

And in conclusion, let me give you a few useful recommendations, which will significantly facilitate the work process and help achieve the best result.
- When performing calculations, do not forget to add a few centimeters to the seams.
- When choosing a tool, it is better to choose a plastic version. It has good material sliding properties over the surface. And at the same time lighter than its metal counterpart.
- If you are making a product using several types of knitting yarn, knit a pattern for each of them.
- If during the process of circular knitting your fabric begins to deform: it begins to “wave” or begins to tuck, it means that there is an error in the calculations. To fix this, you need to do the following. If it is a “wave”, reduce a few loops; if it tucks or pulls, add more loops.
- For knitting round fragments you can use napkin patterns, but then be sure to use a lining. This will help small things inside not slip out through the openwork holes.
- You should not heavily decorate the product, as this yarn gives the accessory an elegant look. If you really can’t wait to decorate a thing, choose small details for this: beads, ribbon, metal elements, and so on.
- Beginning needlewomen will find it useful to watch a video showing how to make the selected model. You can find the recording on the Internet.
As you, I hope, have seen, knitted yarn allows you to create wonderful additions to any style of outfit, for all occasions. Just choose unusual model, beautiful colors and spend some free time.
