Knitting with knitting needles: study of knitting technique according to the scheme
Content
One of the most popular and exciting activities- knitting. Therefore, many who do not know how to knit, really want to learn. For experienced and beginner knitters, there is a unique option to create knitted masterpieces using simple knitting - garter stitch.
Garter stitch has been known since ancient times.With its help, women knitted wonderful scarves. Beautiful, soft, durable. The most important thing is that the pattern was identical on both sides of the product. This is the quality that scarf fabric is famous for. A clear pattern allows you to knit various products very quickly. You do not have to constantly follow the pattern, count rows and loops, read the description. It is important to start correctly, and then the pattern itself will tell you which loop to knit next.
Garter stitch knitting, as well as its description,is very easy to do. Its characteristics allow us to call this pattern unique. A wonderful thing can be knitted with just this one pattern. You just need to “play” with the diameter of the knitting needles or yarn. A smooth transition from a thinner fabric to a voluminous one will create unique waves. If they are arranged asymmetrically, no one will even guess how it is done. The option that uses a combination of this pattern with others - stocking knitting, openwork, relief and jacquard patterns also looks great. You can simply add fragments of these knits to the garter stitch.
What else is attractive about garter stitch?When knitting neatly with thin needles and yarn, knitters get the effect of knitted fabric. It is very important to maintain a uniform knitting density. But a voluminous model is knitted with large-diameter needles and thicker yarn. With this combination, you can allow yourself to "relax" the knitting a little.
The garter stitch pattern is considered one of the mostsimple. All rows are knitted with one type of loops - purl or face. Choose those that are more familiar and turn out smoother. The main condition is not to change the loops until you finish the product. Beginner knitters will be greatly helped by a training video with a step-by-step explanation.
The simplicity of the pattern hides important quality characteristics for which garter stitch is valued. Needlewomen really need the pattern to:
- Not stretched and not deformed in the process of wearing;
- Provided the products with volume and texture;
- Suitable for yarns of any thickness, structure and composition;
- Had a neat side edge, without twisting and stretching.
Knitting with needles meets all these requirements. In addition, the diagram of the picture and his photos are present in any magazine.
Before knitting a large item, you need to learncorrectly and evenly perform purl and face loops. It does not matter what you knit, in any case, the resulting product will look very harmonious.
We study the circular method of knitting
Knitting some products requires skillWork with the help of knitting needles on the line (rope). Knitting in a circle requires certain conditions. Firstly, it will not turn out to turn the canvas. Therefore, each series is obtained by facial. It is necessary to carefully monitor for which wall the loops are to be fastened so that they turn around, and the knitting is even. Secondly, in a circle it is necessary to knit a handkerchief as a normal pattern, changing in turn in each row the purl and facial loops. One kind does not create the desired pattern.
There is no seam when working in a circle, butthe transition point to the next row is noticeable in the product. Decorate it at the back or on the side. To do everything correctly, watch the video with step-by-step instructions before work.
Recommendations for knitting
Cast on the initial row with a convenient orin a way familiar to you. The first step is to knit a control sample. The simplicity of the pattern does not exempt you from an important step. Cast on 10 to 20 loops and knit no more than 8-10 rows. Calculate the number of loops in one centimeter. The density is determined by the height and width of the sample. Now you are ready to start knitting. Multiply the resulting number of loops (by width) by the width of the model and cast on this number on the knitting needles.
Please note! The stitches you use to knit the first row are the same for the rest. To ensure that the garter stitch looks neat in the product, follow some recommendations:
- Identity of knitting. The description of the garter stitch does not include instructions on how to sew the hinges (behind which wall). Craftsmen choose one that is more comfortable for them. It is important to remember that each subsequent loop is knitted similarly to the first one. Only so the work will look neat and the fabric will not twist;
- Constant density of knitting. Often at the beginning of the training, young craftsmen try to knit tightly to keep the product in shape. However, a looser mating can give your product an eccentricity. In addition, it will relieve tension from the hands;
- Competent design of the edge of the product. To do this, you need to remove the first loop of the row without tying (purl - behind the back wall). If everything is done correctly, the lateral edge resembles a pigtail, as in the photo below;
- When choosing a model, pay attention toDirection of binding. Kneading with knitting needles can equally nicely knit with transverse and longitudinal beds. Use on crocheted scarves and hats a transverse arrangement, and longitudinal - on sweaters and blouses. The combination of two kinds in one product is creatively looked.
If you first work with garter stitch,Take a fluffy thread. Such a simple condition will make knitting a knitting needle more qualitatively. A long pile will hide inaccuracies in work. The pattern scheme for beginners is presented in the article.
