For those who are interested in knitting, it is very importantHave examples of dense knitting patterns in your piggy bank. They will definitely come in handy when knitting winter hats, scarves and warm sweaters. One of the representatives of such “warm” knitting with offset loops is the “Braided” pattern with knitting needles.

Advantages of the pattern

His popularity can be easily explained. Things made by this drawing are textured, dense and very warm. Therefore, it is often used for knitting cuffs, pockets, collars. Among the main advantages of "Pletenko" should be noted:

The pattern perfectly holds the shape. The cloth does not stretch, the details clearly correspond to the pattern;
Well combined with braids, arans and other relief patterns. This combination makes
original and unique;
The figure is expressive, after the socks does not lose its attractiveness.

An important difference - the drawing "Plait" can be knitWith spokes with rapport, which is convenient for you or suitable for yarn. Interweaving is done on 4 loops (2x2), 6 loops (3x3), 8 loops (4x4). To increase the number of crossed loops no longer makes sense, because knitting will become more complicated. The height of the repeating fragment is 4-8 rows. At rapport in 8 loops the figure leaves much more densely, than in other variant and at all does not stretch. In addition, as soon as you peg the desired height of the fragment, the typing set immediately shrinks. This should be taken into account when calculating the volume of the product. Therefore, the knitting of the pattern "Plait" with spokes begins only after the calculation of the density of the control sample.

For beginner knitters, you should also take into account thatWhen working, you will have to constantly cross the loops in the front rows. Practice removing them and moving them on a small canvas size so that it will be easier to deal with the pattern later. Watch the video explaining each row to help you perform the offset correctly.

Learning to knit a pattern

In the beginning, you will need a pattern of knitting needles with a detailed description to thoroughly study the nuances of knitting:

It shows the graphical representation of the front rows. The original rows are always knit "according to the drawing", in our case - by the purl.
Note!In the third row, at its beginning and at the end, you should have as many loops left unused in the weave as are included in the pattern repeat. For example, for a 3x3 offset, there should be three of them.

Some masters spread the video and do notSpecify for which wall to loops. In the forefront, the pattern "Plait" with spokes is not yet formed, so you can knit as conveniently. And after the crossing has already been done, the canvas becomes denser. Now they are tied behind the back wall ("grandmother's" method). This is much more convenient, and you avoid double reversal of loops, which weight the knitted product.
Second point. The first row is made with purl stitches, and from the second row the “Braided” pattern begins to be knitted.

When making the offsets, the required number of loops (for example, 3) is removed onto a special knitting needle and left in front of the blade. The following 3 loops are blown and then removed.

Hats know how to knit even beginnersSkilled workers. "Pletenko" will not only make such a model warm, but also harmoniously decorate it. To make a cap with a pattern "Pletenko" was convenient and liked, we suggest using some recommendations.

The more loops involved in the weave, thethe relief looks larger. Therefore, focus on the thickness of the yarn and the volume of the head. A small “Braid” (2x2) will pull thick yarn, so it’s better to go with a 3x3 or more option.
Calculation of knitting density is carried out using an elastic band.Be sure to keep in mind that the pattern will tighten the cap a little. For beginners, it is more convenient to knit with knitting needles, but not in the round. Such knitting needles will make it possible to cast on the required number of loops without the fear of them slipping.
After finishing the elastic, move on to the pattern"Network". You don’t need to knit very tightly so that you can comfortably make weaves. Be sure to make an addition in the first row of the pattern. The “braid” will create volume if there are enough increases. To make the hat look fuller, you may have to add one loop every two.

Further knitting continue according to the pattern scheme. Having tied to the desired height, proceed to decrease. Usually, knitters move to an elastic band and continue to decrease in the rhythm of the rubber band. How to do it, it's better to look at the video.
The hat can be decorated with a lush pompom. A combination of two colors looks great on a hat with a braided pattern.
