Masterpieces of world music, your kid's guitar strumming or the howling of a neighbor's dog can be described in just seven notes. Also with knitting. The art of knitting is ancient and uses only two types of buttonholes. Facial and purl. The whole variety of knitted products is various combinations of front and back loops and methods of knitting them.
It is necessary
Knitting needles, any yarn, the ability to cast loops on a knitting needle and knit a front or back loop from them in any way you can
Instructions
Step 1
Accordingly, the basic patterns are the simplest and most commonly used combinations of front and back loops.
Garter knitting.
We use only knit stitches in all rows of knitting.
Step 2
Front surface.
Purl loops already appear here.
All odd rows of the product consist of front loops.
All even rows are from purl loops.
If, on the contrary, we knit all the odd rows with purl loops, and even with front loops, we get a purl stitch.
Step 3
The most popular pattern for decorating the edge of a knitted garment is an elastic band.
Elastic band 1x1.
All rows: knit 1, purl 1.
Step 4
Elastic band 2x2.
All rows: knit 2, purl 2.
Knit the front loops over the front loops, and the purl loops over the purl loops.
Step 5
English gum.
This pattern is still extremely popular on the shores of Albion.
For an English elastic, you need to dial an even number of loops on the knitting needles.
First row: knit all loops.
Second row: * 1 front, 1 loop we knit a double front (insert the knitting needle from the front side of the work into the loop located in the previous row under the next loop on the left knitting needle and knit it with the front one) *. Repeat from * to * to the end of the row.
Third and subsequent: repeat the second row.
Step 6
Transverse elastic is no less popular.
First, third, fourth and sixth rows: knit all loops.
Second and fifth rows: purl all loops.
Cross elastic is used like a regular elastic. It is especially effective when the elastic parts are larger in width.
Step 7
Often, garter stitch is used as an elastic band to decorate the edges of parts.
She looks good in narrow trims, which are used to process the edges of elegant hats, light T-shirts, bathing suits, etc.
Step 8
The patterns called chess are also ancient.
They are great for double-sided knitting, when the product from the wrong side looks the same as from the right side.
Chess 1x1.
First row: 1 front, 1 purl.
Second row: 1 purl (over the front we knit the purl), 1 front (over the purl we knit the front).
We repeat from the first row.
Step 9
The rest of the chess is performed in the same way.
Chess 2x2.
First and second rows: knit 2, purl 2.
Third and fourth rows: purl 2, knit 2.
We repeat from the first row.
Chess 3x3.
First, second, third rows: 3 front, 3 purl.
Fourth, fifth, sixth rows: purl 3, knit 3.
As a result, the canvas is large or small cells.
