You picked up a knitting magazine, found a suitable model, but did not find a description for it. Do not despair, in fact, knitting a pattern according to the scheme is easier than according to the description. Most importantly, understand the principle of its construction, you will succeed.
It is necessary
- - knitting magazines;
- - knitting needles;
- - woolen threads.
Instructions
Step 1
Start using the diagrams, learn to read them correctly. Learn the following:
- designation of loops. Commonly used are standard dashes and noughts. But it is better to study what these signs mean in a particular scheme.
- ways of knitting patterns with complex techniques. Study all methods carefully before proceeding with the manufacture of the product. If you use the wrong method, the finished product will not turn out the same as in the picture.
- dial only the required number of loops, count the loops carefully. Do not forget to consider the edge loops.
Step 2
So how to knit a pattern according to the pattern?
Please note that usually even rows are not indicated in the diagram, only odd ones. The odd rows are the front of the product. Even rows - purl, In purl rows, knit according to the pattern. If there is a front loop in the front row, knit it with a purl loop in the purl row, do the same with the purl loops.
If the same pattern is repeated in the product, the diagram will indicate from what place the fragment is repeated (usually with arrows). The distance from the arrow to the arrow is called "Rappot".
Step 3
The rules for reading knitting patterns are the same:
- Read the diagram on the left side, starting from the bottom.
- Consider the edging, in the diagrams they are not indicated at all, or indicated by a "+" sign.
Step 4
Start knitting simple patterns using only knit and purl stitches. In such schemes, each cell corresponds to one loop. However, this rule does not apply in schemes where yarns are used. For clarity, such schemes are "supplied" with additional cells. If you are planning to knit a crochet pattern, just skip counting extra cells in the pattern.
Step 5
Be very careful with braid patterns. Do not confuse the direction of the overlap of the loops. Usually, if you need to "overlap" the stitches to the right, leave the other stitches of the "braid" at work. If the braid "overlaps" to the left, leave the loops before work.
