Lattice work variations: 8 examples

Today we will look at the differences between the works of Latis!

In total I have prepared 8 examples for you, but it is far from the limit. I hope this inspires and inspires you to be creative, because the possibilities of combining different ingredients are truly endless!

Also, I want to mention the crew embroidery here again. If you want to see more examples of lattice embroidery to get inspired, you will find many amazing ideas in the Crewel embroidery world. This is a real treasure!

And before you go any further, make sure you know the basics of latticework .

So, without further ado, let's get to work!

1. Options for sleep

The purpose of this example is to remind you of the three main waste items when working with a grid. You can arrange the threads in one stitch (in both directions) or in two intersecting stitches. Everything will be done. Or maybe you can combine them in this example? It definitely creates an original design.

2. Check the timetable + French notes

Adding French notes to latex work is a common practice. And it looks amazing! One way is to insert a French knot in the middle of each other, according to an imaginary chessboard pattern. You can use different nail colors, sleep stitches and French notes for a brighter grid for a more vibrant and striking effect :)

3. Colorful mesh

Speaking of colors, who says your wire frame should be monochrome? Also add a stripe color! In this example, I followed a more modest approach and used two gels close together. I then used 2 greens to work off the bench to cross the seams at the intersections. Feel free to play more with colors, be bold and add contrast. I'm sure you can create something attractive! (By the way, I hope you know that there is no limit to using even 1-2 threads, quote)

4. Czech flowers

Yes, practice your plate control sequence on these grids! It really helps to get great templates, so do not worry about repetition :)

Here I set all the links with a diagonal stitch in the same color as the mesh. And on top of that, I made little French notes at the corners of some of the intersections - in my case, I had to pick up 1 thread and 1 loop around the needle. They look like scary flowers on a grid, and what makes them even more attractive is that they sit in the corners of the cells instead of the cells themselves. This way you get a second look to understand how the program really works.

5. Adjust the spacing between grid cells

Metal fragments are often found to be at the same distance between each vertical and horizontal line, even in a properly welded product. But sometimes you might want to add different elements and make your grid stand out. You can see an example above of how you can do this. There are many ways to decorate cells from such a grid, for example by inserting French notes in it.

6. Add diagonal lines

Here is an example of diagonal lines being added in one direction. They are usually placed on the main wire grid and can always be connected to all three wires at the same time as they always connect to other wires in the same place. You can also play with color by using different threads for the main mesh, diagonal lines and stitches. I do not post French notes here to avoid template overload, but you never know what fun pattern you can create with your own experiments!

Random idea: You can place small nodes right in the triangles created below the diagonal lines in the square cells. It creates unique lines in the design, but you have to be careful with the colors so that it is not too difficult to focus on the eyes.

7. Diagonal lines + texture

This parable is a little more complicated than the previous ones, so I will pay in stages.

First, we cover two metal mesh: the first with vertical and horizontal lines, and the second with diagonal lines. The rear mesh is placed on top of the first.

The cells of the main grid now have diagonal links, and we can place them. Use 1-2 points as you like.

And at these points we now have 4 interconnected lines: two from the main network and two from the secondary network. If you count the directions, then there will be 8 of them! This makes these dialogues easy to carry. We can not create something like a web here, because the number of directions is the same. But still we can succeed here, which is no less fun.

Bring the thread to the center of the seam and start wrapping it with a needle without loosening the base fabric.

Here is the result.

Of course, with all the levels it's a little difficult, but it really does not take long and it's worth it!

8. Add a lazy cube

One of my favorite variations! Is she not popular? :)

You are working on a regular mesh with regular threads. Keep the lazy daisy the same as in example 4. Otherwise, the stitches are so long that they form a set of four cells from one corner to the other. Remember, the lazy daisies are just decoration - you still have to adjust all the dialogues.

And that's all!

I hope you will draw squares on a piece of material that matches the purpose of the exercise, and create a grid. Especially if you lack inspiration or want to flex your muscles without thinking about the real "mission". Have fun and experiment with shapes and colors - Mandala with colored pencils gives the same effect, hehe :)
