Technique "Tunisian knitting" allows you to knit not only a plain fabric. In this technique, you can knit a multi-colored fabric, which seems to be woven from colored stripes. Such a canvas resembles an "enterlac" knitted. The principle of crocheting a "woven fabric" is similar to knitting in the "enterlac" technique. The main thing is to attach new elements in the knitting process to those that are already connected.

Hook, yarn of different colors, scissors
Instructions
Step 1
Cast on a chain of air loops. The number of loops is calculated as follows:
Number of loops for the base of the rectangle (rectangle width) + number of rows (rectangle height) -1 loop.
For example, the width of the rectangle is 8 loops, the number of rows is 6.
Accordingly, 13 loops are needed to knit one rectangle. 8 + 6 - 1 = 13. To knit three triangles, you need to dial 39 loops and 1 air lifting loop. A total of 40 loops.
The rectangles are knitted in one direction.
Step 2
Cast on 8 loops from the chain. These loops include 1 air lift loop. The number of loops can be changed. For example, knit a rectangle 6 stitches wide. The rectangles are knitted with the Tunisian technique. The loops on the hook are knitted as follows: two loops together, a horizontal loop is obtained. A horizontal loop is knitted with the next loop that is on the hook. A horizontal loop is formed again, it is knitted with a vertical loop from the hook. Knit until all loops are over. Inside the horizontal loops, you get a chain of air loops. The next rows are recruited from vertical loops. The hook is inserted into a vertical loop and the thread is pulled through it. It turns out a loop. The last row (in the sample it is the 7th) knit as follows: do not type the loops on the hook, insert the hook into the vertical loop, stretch the thread through it and knit a new loop with the loop on the hook with a half-column. Knit to the end of the row.
Step 3
When knitting rectangles in the second and subsequent rows (in the sample there are 6 rows, in 2-6 rows), the number of loops dialed does not correspond to the number of loops dialed for knitting a rectangle initially. In the sample in the first row of the rectangle there are 8 loops, and in the second row of the vertical loops it turned out to dial only 7 loops (there should be 8). The missing loop (8th) must be taken from the loop of the air chain (when knitting the first row of rectangles), or from the loop of the side "braid" of the neighboring rectangle.
Step 4
To knit the second row (4th, 6th, etc.) of rectangles, attach a thread to the corner of the lower rectangle.
Step 5
Tie a chain of air loops (in the sample 8 loops), from them cast on the loops on the hook, in the same way as for the first rectangle (photo to step 2).
Step 6
Tie the missing 8th loop from the side "pigtail" of the adjacent rectangle.
Step 7
In the process of knitting, the rectangles are connected to each other. Knit the required number of rows.
Step 8
Link the required number of rectangles. For the last rectangle, cast loops from the vertical loops of the last rectangle in the previous row.
Step 9
The number of loops dialed for the last rectangle is less than necessary (7 loops, but should be 8). The last loop must be taken from the last loop of the bottom rectangle.
Step 10
The principle of knitting the last rectangle is different from knitting other rectangles. There is no way to pick up the missing loop, so in the first row of the rectangle, you do not need to knit the two outermost loops together on the hook. You need to knit like this: pull the thread through the loop on the hook, you get a horizontal loop. Knit this horizontal loop together with the next loop, then knit in the same way as other rectangles (knit a horizontal loop together with a vertical one). A chain of loops should form on the left side of the rectangle. When knitting the next row, it is necessary to knit a loop from the loop of the previous row (as when dialing a chain from air loops). In the last row of the rectangle, connect the half-columns.
Step 11
In even rows, the number of rectangles differs from the number of rectangles in odd rows (one more).
Step 12
In odd rows, the number of rectangles is the same as in the first row.
Step 13
It turns out a canvas that consists of rectangles.
Step 14
To align the edge of the canvas, you need to tie a triangle. To knit it, loops are drawn from the vertical loops of the rectangle (or from the "pigtail" of the last row of the rectangle). It is also knitted like a rectangle; an additional loop should be taken from the side "pigtail" of the adjacent rectangle. The number of loops must be reduced. In the first row, you need to knit half of the loops from the hook, and knit the other half of the loops together with one loop (for example, knit 4 loops and knit 4 loops together with one loop). In the second row, you need to dial one loop less than it was in the first row (be sure to knit a loop from the side "pigtail" of the adjacent rectangle).
Step 15
The number of rows of a triangle is equal to the number of rows of rectangles. When knitting a triangle, two loops should remain in the penultimate row. In the last row, they are knitted together.
