The corn pattern is liked by many needlewomen because of its ease of execution, spectacular appearance and versatility. The volumetric fabric obtained using this method of weaving loops is equally well suited for children's, women's and men's things. It can be used to knit cardigans, hats, pullovers and sweaters. In addition, some interior items are often decorated with "corn": panels, dummies, blankets.
Knitting a corn pattern: basic rules
You will create a repetitive knitting pattern of the corn pattern, reminiscent of large, rounded grains, using removed (that is, not knitted) loops. The main working rule: you should remove the thread bows with a working (right) knitting needle as if you are knitting an ordinary purl loop: make a movement from right to left, towards yourself. At the same time, the thread does not need to be grabbed - it will either move for work, then stretch before knitting.
The corn pattern is made up of four rows. So that the embossed pattern does not look handicraft, all the loops should be the same size. In the process of performing the first row of knitting, an absolutely even row of knots should be collected under the knitting needle. On the Internet you will find a large number of video instructions and diagrams for making a variety of products with a corn pattern. If you decide to independently come up with a pattern and design of an outfit, it is not recommended to combine this relief with a large number of knitted patterns. "Corn" is decorative in itself.
The corn pattern looks especially advantageous next to the usual 1x1 elastic band (alternating front and back stitches) or 2x2 (front 2 - back 2).
Corn stitch: step by step
Pattern the knitted fabric with a corn pattern. To do this, fold two straight knitting needles together and cast loops on them so that they tightly clasp the working tools. The number of thread arms of the initial row should be divisible by 4; add 3 more loops. Carefully pull one knitting needle out of the finished loops - it will be working.
The first row of the pattern will be the face of the canvas. First, do 3 facial, then start the following alternations: 1 loop is removed untied as purl; the next 3 loops are knit. Also start the second row with three knit ones.
Stretch the work yarn before work and remove 1 thread loop as a purl loop. After that, place the thread behind the canvas and knit 3 facial ones. Continue the pattern as described.
In the third row, proceed as follows: 1 front; 1 removed loop; 3 knit stitches and so on, until only a couple of loops remain on the working needle. Remove one of them untied, the other - knit the front one.
The working yarn, which during the knitting of the "corn" pattern moves behind the removed loops, must always be very well tensioned.
Begin the fourth row: knit 1, yarn is in front of the fabric; 1 removed, thread by knitting; 3 facial. When 2 thread bows remain in the work, pull the yarn in front of the fabric, remove 1 loop and drag the thread by the product. At the end of the row - front. At the end of the four rows of knitting, you will begin to form a characteristic grain-like pattern: the removed loops, placed in a checkerboard pattern. Repeat the corn pattern with knitting needles until you reach the desired length of the cut.
