Knitted openwork patterns turn simple knitwear into works of art. Learning to knit openwork with knitting needles is not difficult, you just need to read the pattern correctly and master the skills of decreasing and adding loops.
It is necessary
- - yarn;
- - knitting needles;
- - a scheme of an openwork pattern.
Instructions
Step 1
Follow the basic rule of knitting an openwork pattern - always keep the original number of loops. When decreasing several loops, you will need to make the same number of yarns. Depending on the pattern, knit an additional loop immediately after decreasing or after a certain distance.
Step 2
To learn how to knit a beautiful openwork with knitting needles, practice decreasing the loops with different slopes. Knit the loops on the right side of the canvas with an inclination to the right as follows: count two loops, put the knitting needle into the second, and then into the first loop and pull the working thread through them.
Step 3
Knit the loops with an inclination to the left differently. To do this, remove one loop on the right knitting needle as the front one, knit the next one. With the left knitting needle, throw the removed loop over the knitted one.
Step 4
Perform three loops knitted together as follows: remove the loop on the right knitting needle, knit two together with the front knitting needle, with the left knitting needle, throw the removed loop over the reduced ones. Don't forget to add two new stitches to the row afterwards.
Step 5
Add loops in any way convenient for you. If you want to knit openwork with knitting needles with large holes, add a loop by knitting an additional loop from the broach. Insert the right knitting needle into the broach between the loops and knit the front loop.
Step 6
Tie a tighter lace by passing a new loop over the right knitting needle. To do this, take the working thread in your left hand as you would for a set of loops and make a loop on the right knitting needle. Knit it on the back row.
Step 7
After mastering the main types of loops for openwork knitting, select the pattern you like. Study the diagram and symbols carefully. Try knitting a rapport pattern before you start knitting.
Step 8
Knit the openwork with one or more thread colors. When using two or more shades, the openwork pattern will turn out to be interesting due to the fact that the rows will not fit evenly. In this case, you will achieve an additional visual effect.
