A variety of knitting patterns. Types of loops when knitting

Knitting is a pleasant pastime. Everyone can understand this art, for this you need to learn how to knit loops, to sort out the types of yarn, to study the types of knitting with knitting needles, to read the patterns.

Types of yarn

Manufacturers do not tire us to impress with novelties of knitting threads for both natural and artificial raw materials. Let's consider the most widespread kinds of a yarn for knitting by spokes:

• Cotton yarn. This is a natural fiber of plant origin. Products of this kind are very pleasant to the body. The yarn is produced by smooth torsion and can be of different thickness. Products made of cotton are unpretentious, washed at a temperature of 30-40 ºС and do not require special care.
• Woolen yarn. It is a natural product derived from sheep's wool. With such a fiber you need to be very careful in using. Things are blurred at low temperatures by hand. However woolen yarn is very appreciated due to its thermal qualities.
• Yarn with pile. This kind can include cashmere and Angora fiber. You can knit sweaters, jackets, pullovers from it. This yarn requires special care. Products made of cashmere do not like frequent washing. If necessary, wash only with soft products at room temperature.
• Fancy yarn. This kind is obtained by twisting fibers of various origin and all kinds of colors and textures. The ratio of natural fibers is always indicated on the packaging of yarn, it can be used for various products.
• Ecopressing. In its manufacture, only environmentally friendly materials and dyes are used. All the necessary care measures are usually indicated by the manufacturer on the package.

Set of loops

Knitting of any product begins with it. First, you need to determine the length of the free end of the thread, through which the loops will be executed. This size will depend on what kind of yarn for knitting is used. If the yarn is thin, it will be enough 1 cm for one loop. When using yarn thick, lay 1.5-2 cm. The number of tying loops multiplied by this figure, and you get the necessary length of the free end. Do not forget to add 20 cm for the convenience of tying the last loops. The set can be performed by several techniques. Consider the most elementary.

A simple set of loops

1. Put the thread on the unfolded palm and stretch it under the forefinger. Then we start the thumb and lay it to the fingers to maintain it.
2. We put together two spokes, from the bottom up we conduct under a thread between the big and index finger. We hook the thread passing under the index finger, stretch into the loop under the thumb.
3. The resulting first loop should be tightened, for this we remove the threads from both fingers.
4. We return to the place of the thread - the free end of the thumb, and the thread from the tangle, to the index finger. Continue in the same sequence, dial the loop to the required number.

Types of loops

The first set is completed. To create any patterns you need to know the types of loops when knitting with knitting needles. There are only two of them:

Facial. The first thing to consider: the thread is placed behind your work. The spoke, which lies in the right hand, is inserted from the left to the right into the nearest loop, which is located on the left spoke. Through it is extended the working thread, which forms a loop on the right spoke. The one through which the thread from the left spoke was stretched must be dropped.

Wrong. The difference is that the working thread in this version must be placed before work. The movement of the right spoke is, on the contrary, from right to left. The spoke lying in the right hand is inserted into the loop, which is located on the left spoke, through it we pull out the working thread. We reset the loop from the left knitting needle and get a loop of the new row.

The types of knitting loops presented above are basic. A cloth made by facial elements, on the reverse side, will look like the wrong one. And vice versa.

Edge loops

They include all kinds of knitting, because any detail has edges. The first and last loop of the knitting series is called the edge loop. They are considered auxiliary and are not part of the pattern. The execution of edge loops is mandatory, they can be performed by the following technicians:

"Chain". The meaning of this technique is that for every two rows of the web there is only one edge loop. To do this, the first loop of the row is simply removed without binding, so that the thread is before work, and the last is tied with the front. So it is necessary to do in each row. To obtain a uniform edge, the last loop must be tied to the same extent as all the loops of the fabric. Such edges are perfect for assembling parts. If the edge is used under the bar or neck, in these cases, the best option is to make the first and last loops in the front row of the front, and on the back side - with the back loops, so you will get a more even and uniform edge.

The "Uzelok". The technique of execution is similar to the previous one. The first loop is removed, only the thread in this case should remain at work, and the last loop is sewn on the front. You can also make a nodal edge edge, starting and ending with a series of facial loops, the thread must remain at work. It should be noted that this technique gives a less elastic edge than when the edge is performed by a chain. Therefore it is recommended to use it, for example, for jackets of jackets.

Whatever kind of knitting patterns, each row should repeat the chosen technology, that is, the number of edge loops should match, otherwise you will get the edges one shorter than the other.

Closing loops

This technique depends on the canvas on which it will be performed:

• Facial smoothness. Edge and second loops are tied in the face. After that, the first loop is pierced through the second one. Then the next + ta through which the previous one is inserted is tied. The entire process is repeated until all loops are closed, after which the thread is cut off, passed through the last loop and tightened.
• Wrong surface. The process is repeated, as in the face of the face, only all the hinges are closed in the back technique.
• Eraser and other types of knitting patterns. Closing must be done on the pattern, that is, it will be necessary to perform a combination of closing the front and back loops provided by the scheme. The first two loops are transmitted, according to the drawing, then the second is passed through the first one. After that, the next pattern loop is sewn, the previous one is stretched through it. After closing the entire series, we tighten and cut the thread.

Execution of nakids

This element is used mainly in openwork patterns. The Nakid is an additional loop so that the number of loops in the row does not increase, after the nakid, the next two loops are tied together, and one of the two turns out. After nakida on a continuous canvas, a hole is obtained. All knitting patterns include two options:

Plain. In order to perform the napkin, the working thread is grasped by the right knitting needle, pulled to the loops on it, and sticks it with your finger. Then all subsequent loops are sewn according to the pattern. In the purl series, it will be necessary to tie the made crochet, basically it is done with a back loop. If this condition is different, the correct execution will be indicated in the instruction.

Double. The technology is similar to the previous one, only one thread is threaded, not two, but one. To do this, the right needle is wrapped around the working thread twice. And to save the number of loops in the row to the crochet and after it, two loops are sewn together.

Types of rubber bands

The simplest element of the product is an elastic band, which is obtained by alternating the back and front loops. To make a quality gum, you need to use the spokes at least one and a maximum of three sizes smaller than for the main fabric. A large number of products begin with this element, for the manufacture of which you can apply a variety of knitting knitting. Types of rubber bands, schemes by which they can be done - all this can be found in various forums on interests in huge numbers. We will consider the most elementary of them:

A simple rubber band. The simplest version is obtained by combining the front and back loops: 1x1 (in this order along the entire length of the row). On the reverse side, knit on the resulting pattern. As a result, on the canvas, your facial loops will be lined up in posts, and the back loops will form cavities.

Double elastic band. Such kinds of elastics for knitting with knitting needles are more structurally expressed variant. Alternation in the series occurs from 2 face loops and 2 purl loops. Accordingly, if you have completed a series of facial loops, on the reverse side you will begin with the purlins. For symmetry, choose for this type of gum the number of loops that will be divided into four, and do not forget about the edge two loops that need to be added to the total.

Broken gum. The front part of the fabric is knitted in the same way as the double rubber band, the front and back loops alternate in the ratio 2x2. As for the back side, it performs all purl loops.

Basics for Patterns

The viscose made by a combination of facial and purl loops can serve as the basis, which includes different types of knitting with knitting needles:

Facial smoothness . It is performed in this sequence. The first row is tied with the front, the second with the wrong one. This combination is repeated over the entire height.

Wrong surface. This base is performed by analogy with the front one, only the first row is executed with the wrong loops, and the second one, respectively, with the front ones.

Garter stitching. All rows in this base are tied with facial loops. Such a binding on both sides has the same texture.

Pearl knitting. Performed alternately by the front and back loops. In each row, to obtain a pattern, it is necessary to make a 1-loop offset.

Knitting Patterns

An important point of knitting is the correct reading of the schemes, because this affects the look of the product. They depict all sorts of elements, patterns that involve knitting with knitting needles, types of rubber bands. The diagrams are presented in the form of cells, where 1 unit means 1 loop, 1 tier - a row of knitting. On the side are written numbers - this is the number of the row. On the movement of knitting from the bottom up, on the right side are the numbers of the front rows, and on the left side of the diagram - the numbers of the purses.

The simplest elements of circuits for performing patterns of medium complexity

+ - edge loop;

- - the back loop;

■ - the front hinge;

○ - cape;

◀ - two loops to be tied together with the front;

▶ - two loops are to be sewn together with the wrong one.

If you use ready-made drawings from magazines, they always present types of knitting patterns. Very often each edition offers its own conventions, which are attached in the instructions.

Types of Knitting Patterns

Based on the above-mentioned basics for knitting, a huge number of patterns are performed. For them, more complex elements and types of knitting patterns are used. Such elements include nakids, loop twists, volumetric and colored patterns, etc. Thanks to them, new and varied knitting patterns are created. A photo of openwork patterns is presented below.

All species can be classified and distinguished in several categories:

1. Embossed patterns. For this type, a crosshair is used, with which elements such as plaits and braids are made.
2. Jacquard patterns. The technique of execution consists in knitting of one series by threads of various colors which according to the scheme are laid down in color drawings. This technology came to us from Norway. The basis for it is the surface of the surface.
3. Patent patterns. The difference between these patterns is that the relief fabric is obtained from both sides.
4. Openwork knitting. It turns out due to alternation of nakidov with usual loops.

Knitting a scarf

Scarf is the simplest product that can be made with spokes. Having studied the basics of knitting, you can safely get down to work. You can execute this product by various techniques. Types knitting scarves with spokes are quite diverse. For the simplest of them, you can use such matings:

• Dressing;
• Two-sided;
• All kinds of elastic bands for knitting;
• Relief;
• Three-dimensional.

The shape of the scarf can also be different, but for the first items you can choose a fairly simple style, with which you can easily cope. And the types of knitting scarves can be:

• classical;
• stole;
• Clamp;
• Arafatka.

The classic look is the backbone of all scarves, and one should start with it.
