Step 1
The lightest technique of mesh patterns is called French mesh. This is a canvas that is knitted with a chain of air loops and columns. Most often, light hats, shawls, vests and capes are knitted with such a mesh. The pattern is a short chain of air loops, most often of an odd number - 3, 5, 7. Arcs from loops are usually attached to the previous row with a single crochet, but if you wish, you can limit yourself to single crochets or single crochets or double crochets. Further rows are also knitted, only the "attach" is shifted by one or two elements of the rapport. The "French mesh" pattern is very similar to transparent fish scales.
Step 2
The next "mesh" technique is called sirloin knitting. Such patterns are knitted in columns with 1, 2 and 3 yarns and with air loops between them. The number of loops should be the same with the column pitch so that the cells are square. This principle of sirloin knitting is used to make squares.
Step 3
Thus, sirloin knitting can be knitted not only according to ready-made patterns. For example, you can take any pattern for embroidery or knitting ornaments with knitting needles. To do this, you need to select the scale of the cage and knit, for example, in this way: empty cage - 1 column with one crochet, 2 air loops, 1 column with one crochet; and for a filled cell, knit 4 columns with one crochet.
