Have you ever had a big sweater that’s a little simple? Maybe you just knitted a simple scarf and would like to be a little more stylish? While it is possible for knitwear and crochet designs to work as they are created, this is not the only way to add motifs to such pieces. Embroidery is the solution you are looking for! The principle of achieving this is the same as for any other hand embroidery. There are a few things to keep in mind when getting started.

For starters, you will need a woven or crocheted item. It may be handmade, but choose the one with harder points. It can be difficult to handle a more obvious point. The model shown here has a knitwear lining as well as a thin fabric.

Any embroidery thread can work for this, but it is useful to choose one that has similar weight and fiber content to the one you sew, especially if you need to wash the item. Try using sewing thread for thicker fabrics.

When choosing a template to work with, start with something simple. If you feel more comfortable, you can choose something with more detailed information or develop them yourself. The “M” template in the sample from the group of free monogram models. One of the biggest problems when working on a point in an article is template submission. Tracing paper or water-soluble fixing methods are best suited for this. If possible, work without a pulley. Placing an item on a ride can stretch and deform the knitted material.

Sew the material and knitwear as you would for other embroideries, but avoid pinching the points too tightly. Most parts like this need some stretch and tightening seams will prevent this.

After finishing sewing, cut the silk paper or wet the stabilizer. If it is soaked, lightly squeeze out excess water with a towel, and then place knitted garments to dry. A simple monogram can be completed overnight, which means you’ll have a special item in the shortest possible time. You don’t even need to learn how to knit or crochet! As soon as possible, you’ll be looking for more knit and crochet pieces to add your embroidered brand. After you get out of your closet, check out thrift stores for great finds. You can also work without a template and decorate your work by hand.
