Pattern diagram

Interesting pattern of crossed columns

A very interesting pattern of crossed groups of crochet stitches.

The knitting is very simple: the first group of 3 dcs is knitted through a ch chain arch. the previous row, and the next group in the previous arch. It turns out very beautiful and unusual.

Colored knitting is very attractive, and how beautiful openwork patterns look in color with a highlighted repeat of the pattern vertically. I propose to consider a method of crocheting colored openwork patterns, similar to colored intarsia knitting. With this method, it is better to select patterns with a linear pattern repeat in order to highlight the openwork pattern vertically with color. Each colored stripe is knitted from a separate ball of thread, so dividing the pattern into several stripes requires its own skein of yarn for each. The knitting method itself is very simple and consists only of changing the color in knitting.

So, for knitting a colored sample, a “spider” pattern was selected; for example, three repeats of the pattern are knitted with different colors of yarn.

We cast on a chain of air loops; in the first row, knit the first rapport with the same thread. Next, after finishing the repeat with a double crochet, attach a new thread. To do this, form a starting loop from a thread of a new color and pull it through the working loop on the hook, like a chain loop. Mask the end of the attached thread, fasten and trim. Continue knitting with the attached thread of the second repeat. Next, also change the thread for the third pattern repeat.

In the second row, having finished knitting the first repeat, after the chain loop, knit a double crochet with a thread of medium color. To do this, remove the old thread, and use a new thread to yarn over the hook,

then insert the hook into the loop, grab the new thread and pull out the loop,

Grabbing the thread again, knit all the loops to the yarn over, again grab the thread with the hook and knit all the loops on the hook.

Thus, the column is knitted with a new thread, and the broach is almost invisible. If necessary, tighten the loop of the old thread and continue knitting the second repeat with yellow thread.

In the third row, also change colors when knitting the first double crochet of the next repeat pattern. To do this, remove the old thread, use a new thread to yarn over the crochet hook, st. s/n, and knit a double crochet with a new thread.

When knitting, do not get confused, because each colored stripe has its own ball, so when turning the work over, it is better to shift the balls sequentially.

When finished knitting, secure each color of thread.

The pineapple color pattern looks very attractive with vertical wavy stripes.

Swirl pattern

We present to your attention a charming crocheted napkin. It resembles a forest clearing, which is located on the edge of the forest. In the center of the napkin blossomed big flower, and smaller flowers lined up in a circle around him. The napkin is knitted in two shades of yarn, which gives it beauty and tenderness.

To crochet a napkin from flowers you will need the following materials: yarn in pink and white shades or any other colors that combine with each other, a hook according to the thickness of the yarn, scissors.

The approximate size of the finished napkin will be 18 centimeters.

We start knitting a napkin from flowers from the central one. It is knitted from the center in the round. Next we tie small flowers. When knitting each last row small flower connect it to the big one. The pattern for knitting a napkin is shown in the figure below:

While knitting, do not forget to alternate the color of the yarn. A finished crocheted napkin with flowers should be starched before use. Good luck to you!

Do you still wash dishes with regular sponges (napkins)? It's a mess, because for a real knitter they have to be knitted. Here, for example, are those shown in the figure above. Crocheted napkins for washing dishes are colorful, cute, and beautiful. They are knitted from microfiber yarn. This is very convenient and practical, as microfiber is easy to care for. Any contaminants can be easily removed from it, and it also does not wipe, does not peel, and is resistant to light and chemical influences.

Interested? Then let's get to work. Multi-colored yarn with microfiber, a hook according to the thickness of the yarn, as well as scissors, this is what you will need to knit napkins. All selected yarn must be of the same thickness and texture, otherwise the napkin will turn out curved.

This knitted dishcloth has the shape of a flower. The figure below shows a pattern for knitting a napkin:

The napkin is knitted from the center in the round. While knitting, do not forget to alternate the colors of the yarn so that it comes out multi-colored.

Actually that's all crocheted The dishwashing cloth is ready!

The first time I looked at such a crocheted napkin, I immediately had the desire to knit the same one for myself. She is tender, airy and very beautiful. The napkin has a square shape. You can easily decorate a table, shelf or chest of drawers with this napkin. Also, by tying such napkins and connecting them together, you can get a wonderful tablecloth or curtain.

In order to crochet a square napkin you will need the following materials: plain cotton yarn, a hook according to the thickness of the yarn, scissors. Even though the napkin is square, it is knitted in the round from the center. The following figure shows a pattern for knitting a napkin:

Pay attention to how the first row is knitted. You must first knit one stitch. s/5n, then 2 tbsp. s/2n in the third loop of the st. s/5n. Then 5 chain stitches are knitted. We repeat this 8 times. In total, you will need to knit 19 rows in a circle.

Crochet square napkin ready. Before using such a napkin, it will need to be starched. So knitted napkin It will keep its shape better.

Three leaf patterns that can be useful for crocheting a variety of things. Take it to the piggy bank for those who need it.

Fine fiber - best material to create an airy, beautiful lace fabric. There are many interesting models clothing or interior decoration items that can be knitted from thin threads. Let's look at this issue in more detail.

In order to begin the manufacturing process, you need to be well prepared. And to do this you need to perform the following steps.

• Choose a suitable model.
• Select material and tool.
• Take measurements and create a pattern.

Reference! If you are not a professional needlewoman, then be sure to make a pattern and knit a sample pattern. This will not only avoid errors in calculating the canvas, but will also help avoid rework.

Which hook to choose

One of the most significant points is correct selection tool. It depends on the following factors:

• selected pattern;
• thread thickness.

The second point is especially influential. To find out if a given size is appropriate, you need to fold the thread in half and compare its volume with the volume of the hook head.

Most manufacturers also include preferred size information on the label..

Another option is selection by samples. It is used when there are several yarn options and you need to choose the one most suitable for creating a pattern.

Patterns for thin threads

For thin threads It is advisable to choose delicate openwork patterns. The most suitable options for such drawings are the following.

Floral canvas

Shells and fans

Ribbon lace

Sirloin knitting

Reference! In order to understand whether the pattern you have chosen is suitable, knit a sample. You can make several elements with different patterns and choose the most suitable one.

Knitting ideas with thin threads

There are many options for models knitted from thin thread. And contrary to popular belief, You can make not only summer clothes from this material, but also a winter version. This will depend on the seasonality of the material. For example, cotton is for summer, and thin mohair or angora is for elegant winter clothing.

This fiber is used to make wonderful decorative elements to create a cozy and warm atmosphere in your home. These include airy tablecloths, small napkins, and even charming curtains for windows or doorways.

For adults

From this material you can knit many unusually beautiful new clothes for women's wardrobe. Airy, openwork items will emphasize feminine beauty and charm. Let's look at creating several variations using a detailed example.

Thin threads and hook for decoration

Products made from fine thread are great for transforming the interior of a room. This is especially true for tablecloths and curtains.

Tablecloth

After production, WTO the product and, if desired, lightly starch it.

You can make these interesting curtains for the kitchen.

As you have seen, thin threads do not limit the possibilities of needlewomen!

The statement that learning to crochet is easier than knitting is very controversial. However, there is no doubt that the hook opens up many more possibilities. For many knitters, mastering the skill of crocheting makes it much easier to get more of the project done.

Dense patterns

Despite the fact that crochet is primarily associated with airy openwork, there are situations when you cannot do without a solid fabric. In such cases, it turns out that finding with diagrams is not so easy.

If you need to make opaque knitted elements, you can use knitting needles, but this option is not always suitable. The fabric made with knitting needles is thinner and more elastic. In addition, tightly knitting a thin thread with this tool is very inconvenient and takes a long time.

Why are dense ornaments needed?

Based on practice, we can indicate the areas of application of solid patterns intended for crocheting:

1. Making warm clothing. Winter hats, mittens, sweaters, dresses - all this should be knitted without unnecessary holes or laces.
2. Scarves. This clothing is listed as a separate item, since scarves require double-sided dense crochet patterns (patterns are offered below).
3. Interior items. rugs, some models of pillows require a solid fabric through which the lining is not visible.
4. Swimwear and opaque items
5. In order to “dilute” the openwork pattern. Sometimes a combination of several rows of openwork mixed with a dense pattern allows you to create a new unique pattern.

Specifics of choosing yarn for solid patterns

Most yarns are suitable for crocheting tight patterns. Patterns are often designed for yarn with a thickness of about 350-400 m/100 grams. This should be taken into account if the thread chosen for knitting differs significantly in thickness from this figure.

Too much will cause the canvas to become rough, overly dense and rigid. In addition, when knitting such products, a large load is created on the fingers and they can hurt. To avoid unpleasant consequences and still use a thick thread, you can use a large hook (7 or more) and try to knit loosely.

A thread with parameters greater than 400 m/100 grams is considered thin. For example, the thickness of mercerized cotton is 560 m/100 grams. Knitting continuous patterns with such a thread requires the use of very thin hook(from 0.9 mm) and tight knitting. Otherwise knitted fabric It will turn out to be delicate and will not fulfill its function.

Crochet: dense patterns. Schemes from the must have category

Elementary solid patterns are formed by combining different columns. This can be a traditional stitch, including single crochets (SC) or double crochets (DC). A feature of such patterns is the absence of air loops (AP). An example is the ornament in the photo below.

It consists of “bushes” and rows of RLS separating them. The given sample is made in color, but more often it is used in a single color design. It can be called a lifesaver for many knitters.

And in this modified pattern there is already a VP and an openwork element.

This scheme can easily be adapted to produce a dense fabric. It is enough to replace the VP with a CCH, then the “leg” for the bush will contain not three CCHs and five VPs, but eight CCHs.

Dense crochet patterns, the patterns of which are presented below, are also based on the SSN. This technique allows you to create a really dense canvas. The essence of the method is that not the upper part of the column of the previous row, but its main part is used as the basis for volumetric CCHs. The hook is wound behind the dc and the thread is pulled behind it.

This is how convex DCs are knitted.

Zigzag dense crochet patterns: description and diagram

Wavy patterns are very convenient for making continuous fabrics. Such ornaments are formed according to the same principle: adding loops at the peak of the wave and reducing the same number of loops in the trough. Zigzags have their own specifics and features:

• Zigzag dense patterns are difficult to cut; they create difficulties when knitting according to the pattern (sleeve caps, necklines, waist relief). Waves are best suited for knitting even fabrics.
• To correctly calculate the loops, you need to knit a fairly large sample, since the full wavy pattern is formed after knitting about 5 cm of fabric.
• It is necessary to strictly observe the number of added and reduced loops in each row. Ignoring such calculations leads to a gradual change in the proportions of the wave.

Wavy dense crochet patterns, diagrams and a sample are given below, may have minor holes in the fabric (as in the diagram).

Every woman has a crocheted item in her wardrobe; such products are distinguished by an endless variety of openwork patterns that are impossible to pay attention to. Crocheting in itself is considered an attractive applied art and there are few people who do not know such needlework, probably at least one thing related with my own hands. Learning to use a crochet hook is not difficult, the main thing is to correctly and carefully perform the elements indicated in the diagram. Another point is the matching of the threads and the hook number so that the patterns are clear and even.

Choosing threads and hooks

Knitting a beautiful thing is the dream of every knitter, but no one thinks that the process can become tedious and irritating due to the wrong hook or yarn. The thickness of the threads is selected according to the size of the hook. Cotton threads are used for knitting, some of them have a synthetic or silk insert, this allows you to quickly complete the work and gives the product expressiveness and shine.

Depending on the density of the item being created, the threads are selected to the appropriate thickness. The thinner they are, the lighter and more delicate the canvas will be. Napkins and thin summer blouses for women require thread sizes 20 and 30, but for large and dense items, yarn size 10 is used. You also need to take the choice of hook seriously, firstly, pay attention to the number indicated on the package or on instrument, and secondly, the strength of the handle, it can be plastic or wooden. The hook is made of durable, rigid stainless steel.

Feature of the hook - summer openwork items made of fine yarn

Summer is the hot season of the year and woolen clothing is inappropriate here, unless it is an openwork blouse or top. They are knitted from thin yarn, for which a suitable hook is selected. Cobwebs made from thin threads are created using a hook with a diameter of 0.6 to 1.5, but if a more spectacular design is being made, it is better to use frequently used thin yarn and a hook with a size of 1.5 to 2.5. It is advisable to use a metal tool with the correct tip; it should not be sharp or slippery when gripping the thread.

Hooks for thin yarn have a short length to the handle so that the loops do not become elongated, and this can disrupt the texture of the pattern. A flattened handle is considered more convenient than a rounded one; it puts less pressure on the fingers and prevents the tool from slipping.

Patterns

The thickness of the fabric and softness are influenced by the selected pattern. If a sweater or cardigan is made with embossed flowers, the pattern is knitted tightly. But blouses or jackets with lace that do not hide underwear, top or shirt must be done openwork motifs. Crocheting allows you to create many patterns of clothing: blouses, skirts, dresses, hats, etc.

Knitting techniques

Any crochet pattern is performed using several techniques:

• air loop (the main element of knitting, forms a chain from which any product begins);
• yarn over (thread is thrown onto a hook where there is already a loop; the more yarn overs, the higher the stitch);
• half-column (a loop is taken out from the previous row and knitted together with a loop on the hook);
• double crochet (knitted with and without crochet); picot (edge ​​binding).

In order not to get confused in these details, diagrams are drawn up with the designation of each element. Sometimes you have to make complex patterns, as in the “broomstick” knitting technique, which uses an additional long object (a knitting needle or a ruler). The task of the technique is to perform even large air loops, which are then tied in a bunch with five single crochets, thus forming a figure eight.

But for the Tunisian pattern a selection is needed long hook, so that it is convenient to hold like a knitting needle or a pencil. The fabric is knitted on one side only, it does not turn over, as when knitting. Here one row is knitted from left to right and, conversely, from right to left. In the front stitch, the loops are knitted immediately, and in the purl stitch, all the loops are first thrown onto the hook, and then knitted one by one. The choice of hook does not correspond to traditional knitting; if the selected yarn requires a hook number 2, then according to the Tunisian technique, 2.5 is taken.

There are also a lot of patterns that are knitted using a special technology, and each is interesting in its own way. And in the catalog, things appear unique, since the pattern and style of the product are combined.

Dense patterns are often used to knit warm clothes, which are so necessary for every person during the cold season. These patterns are used to make coats, skirts, hats, blankets and sweaters made from thick yarn, which are sure to keep you warm and comfortable during bad weather. In addition, another advantage of dense patterns is the ability to perfectly retain its original shape.

These patterns are crocheted by weaving different types columns. That is why there are a huge number of variations of these thick and seemingly knocked-down patterns, among which there are both simple, ordinary ornaments made of yarn, and interweaving threads of incredible beauty.

Dense crochet patterns - diagrams and descriptions

Dense patterns are selected depending on the type of clothing and the author’s ideas. Let us consider in detail some of the methods of crocheting dense patterns and patterns for their implementation, which differ in complexity. Let's start with the simplest dense patterns that even novice craftsmen can knit.

Knitting for beginners

In itself, crocheting dense patterns is considered a fairly simple task, since they make the fabric thick, and some even call them rough. Dense patterns are considered the complete opposite of delicate and airy openwork patterns, so beginners should begin their acquaintance with this craft by making dense patterns. These patterns are also convenient because they train inexperienced knitters to regularly perform fairly simple crochet manipulations.

• Single crochet pattern

The simplest dense pattern based on single crochets. The pattern begins with a set of air loops. The first stitch is knitted into the second loop from the hook (one lifting loop).

1st row: 1 lifting loop, * 1 single crochet for one side of the loop *;

2nd row: 1 lifting loop, * 1 single crochet “in the loop” *.

All other rows are knitted as the second row.

• Long single crochets

This pattern is very similar to the previous one, so knitting it is just as easy, and the fabric from it is softer and more elastic than from simple single crochets. In addition, it will have something in common with openwork patterns due to the “gaps” between the elements.

Initial chain of air loops: 2 lifting loops, the first stitch is knitted into the third air loop from the hook.

Insert the hook into the loop, grab the working thread and pull it through the loop. There should be 2 loops on the hook. Knit a chain stitch through the first loop on the hook.

Again there should be 2 loops on the hook. Knit a stitch by pulling the working thread through the remaining 2 loops. Next, knit stitches into each stitch of the row.

• Bosnian pattern

A very dense pattern that does not stretch in width, but stretches in length. This pattern is crocheted in half columns behind the back wall of the loop. There is no need to knit a lifting loop, but the first stitch in the row is always knitted on both sides of the loop in the first loop from the hook.

1st row: half-column “in the loop” * 1 half-column behind the back wall of the loop *.

The vertical repeat of the pattern is one row.

Ideas for a hat

A good choice would be a dense crochet pattern for a hat. Since the purpose of this product is to keep your head warm and protect your hair from wind and frost, it is better to knit hats in dense patterns. Let's consider several successful options for dense patterns for crochet hats.

• Two-color waves

A beautiful dense pattern that looks good on hats.

Air number p. dial-on chain is a multiple of 3 + 1 + 2 air. lifting point.

1st row: 2 air p. lifting, 2 tbsp. s/n in 1 st of the base, skip 2 air. p. dial chain, * 1 tbsp. b/n and 2 tbsp. s/n in 1 st of the base, skip 2 air. chain stitch, repeat from *, 1 tbsp. b/n.

2nd row: 2 air p. lifting, 2 tbsp. s/n in 1 base line, * 1 tbsp. b/n and 2 tbsp. s/n in art. b/n, repeat from *, 1 tbsp. b/n in air lifting point. Repeat 2nd r.

• Scales

A more complex pattern, but interesting and original in its form. Volumetric scales are perfect for children's hats and scarves. It will take enough for the pattern a large number of yarn. Let's take a closer look at how this unusual pattern is knitted.

Cast on a chain of air loops, the number of loops should be a multiple of 6 + 1 ch. equalization + 2 v.p. rise + 1 v.p. for the pattern. 6 loops of the air chain are one scale.

1st row: In the 7th air loop we knit 1 tbsp. s/n, 1 vp, in the same loop 1 tbsp. s/n, 1 vp, skip 2 base loops, in the next 1 st. s/n, ch 1, skip 2 base loops and knit 1 tbsp. s/n, 1 vp, 1 tbsp. s/n in one loop. Next, continue the pattern alternating a single double crochet with a tick in one loop until the end of the row. The row should end with a single double crochet.

2nd row: Row 2: Turn the work sideways with the loop on the hook facing up. Yarn over the hook and insert the hook under the first wall of the tick of the previous row, knit the first double crochet, do the same for another 4 tbsp. s/n (the number of columns depends on the thickness of the thread, if you have chosen a thin thread, then you need to increase the number of columns, if the thread is thick, then reduce it). Next, without making additional loops, knit another 5 tbsp. s/n for the second wall of the check mark. Turn the work inside out towards you, i.e. draw the pattern back with the mesh and attach it with a connecting column (half-column) to the loop of a single double crochet from the previous row. Again, turn the work with the pattern towards you and again knit 5 tbsp. s/n for each wall and connect the connection again. Art. (half st.) for a loop of a single st. s/n of the previous row. And do this until the end of the row. Attach the last scale to the second air. Loop of the previous row.

Important: If you want to make leaves rather than scales, then after knitting 5 tbsp. s/n for the first wall of the tick, do 2 air stitches. and knit the connection st. into the second loop from the hook, and then knit 5 tbsp. s/n for the second wall of the check mark.

3rd row: This row increases by 2 scales. When knitting a pattern, you will have alternating rows, sometimes more, sometimes less scales, but at the same time, on the reverse side, the fabric will have an even appearance, and you can easily connect the parts. Start the row by casting 3 vp. for the first tick of a new row + 1 v.p. and knit the first double crochet into the same loop where the chain stitches began, ch 1, double crochet into the middle of the scale, ch 1. between the scales, tick again and so on until the end of the row. At the end of the row, we knit a tick into the last loop.

4th row: Repeat the “Scales” pattern as in the second row. When the last double crochet is knitted in the last scale, then knit a connecting stitch into the middle of the scale, thus securing the end of the row.

5 row: It is necessary to reduce the number of scales again, so the row begins with 3 chain loops (this is a single double crochet) + 1 ch. and then again knit a tick between the scales. The row ends by knitting a single stitch in the middle of the last scale.

6th row: knit the pattern again as in the third row.

This is how the scales alternate: sometimes more, sometimes less.

You can also knit according to these step-by-step photographs:

Master class on creating patterns for a skirt

When choosing suitable knitting options different models clothes, quite often they recommend a tight pattern for a crochet skirt, since the finished product pleases its owner for a long time with its original shape, does not stretch, looks interesting and original, and most importantly, does not allow you to freeze. Let's consider several options for patterns suitable for skirts.

• Shells

Despite the slight openwork, the canvas made of shells is dense. This beautiful pattern It is knitted in stitches with one or more double crochets in one loop, then a single crochet is knitted into which a fan is knitted in the next rows.

First you need to cast on the number of loops that you need, but it must be a multiple of 6 plus 2 loops (for lifting).

1st row: Single crochet into the second chain stitch from the hook, then skip 2 chain stitches and single crochet 5 times into the same next chain stitch. Skip the next two air loops and knit a single crochet into the third loop, then skip 2 air loops and knit a fan again. And so it goes until the end of the row.

2nd row: 3 lifting loops are knitted and 2 more double crochets are knitted into the very first loop, i.e. in the last single crochet. 3 lifting loops replace 1 double crochet. Next, a single crochet is knitted into the third double crochet from the fan of the previous row. A fan is knitted into the single crochet of the previous row. Knitting continues until the end of the row. The row ends with three double crochets in the single crochet of the previous row.

3rd row: 1 chain stitch is knitted and a single crochet is knitted into the first double crochet of the previous row. A fan is knitted into the single crochet of the previous row. Knit to the end of the row. The row ends with a single crochet in the third chain stitch of the previous row.

• Cones

This dense openwork pattern is perfect for a summer skirt. The pattern is simple and knits up fairly quickly. Let's take a closer look at the method of knitting it.

First you need to knit a chain of chain stitches of an odd number plus 3 loops for lifting. To knit “bumps” you will need to knit three double crochets in the same loop without doing the last step and then knit all the unfinished double crochets with one loop. In some ways it's like a decrease.

In the fourth loop of the base you need to knit 3 double crochets, but do not finish them, i.e. you yarn over the hook, insert the hook into the base loop and pull out the working thread, we have 3 loops on the hook, knit the first two and stop there. You have 2 loops on your hook. Yarn over again and pull the working thread from the base loop, a total of 4 loops and again knit 2 loops and stop, a total of 3 loops on the hook. Yarn over again and pull the working thread out of the base loop, a total of 5 loops on the hook, knit the first 2 and you end up with 4 loops on the hook. Grab the working thread and pull it through all 4 loops. The cone pattern is ready. There may be more such columns in the “bump”, then the pattern will be more magnificent.

The “bump” pattern is mainly knitted through one chain stitch. Therefore, after you have knitted the “bump”, you need to make one air loop and skip 1 loop at the base, i.e. the next “bump” must be knitted into the second loop. And so it goes until the end of the row. Each row begins with 3 lifting loops and ends with knitting a “bump” into the third lifting loop of the previous row.

The second row is knitted even easier, there is no need to count, all the “bumps” are knitted through one chain stitch into the spaces between the “bumps” of the previous row.

• Rice fields

A beautiful dense pattern that will certainly attract all eyes to your new skirt. The big advantage of this pattern is its ease of execution, since single crochet and double crochet are used for knitting it. The pattern is quite dense, but not rigid - so it is ideal for a skirt. Its simplicity is also good because it allows you to beautifully combine several different patterns on one canvas.

For the sample, cast on a chain of air loops with a number that is a multiple of 2, plus 1 loop for the symmetry of the pattern, plus 2 lifting loops.

1st row: 2 lifting loops, * 1 single crochet and 1 double crochet are knitted into the 3rd loop, 1 loop of the chain is skipped * 1 double crochet is knitted into the last loop of the chain;

2nd row: 2 chain lifting loops, * in the double crochet loop, knit 1 single crochet and 1 double crochet stitch *, in the last chain stitch of the row, knit a single crochet;

Subsequent rows are knitted in the same way as the second row.

What to choose for a coat?

A crocheted demi-season coat is also a very necessary thing in the wardrobe. And the ideal solution in this matter would be a dense crochet pattern for a coat. These patterns make you feel comfortable and confident. They retain their original shapes, preventing things from stretching, and retain heat perfectly. Moreover, many of them look very original on the finished product.

• Tunisian pattern

This pattern is considered ideal for knitting sweaters, cardigans, and most importantly, coats. The fact is that the structure of this pattern does not allow heat to pass through, practically does not stretch and protects the item from deformation. To make it clearer how to knit it, it’s worth studying this master class with step-by-step photographs.

Important: For Tunisian knitting, a special long hook-knitting needle is used, since, unlike other types of crochet, in Tunisian knitting all the loops of the row are located on the hook. The length of the hook must correspond to the width of the fabric, otherwise you will have to sew individual strips. The hook is held in the hand like a knitting needle. Some use a hook bigger size than needed for the selected yarn. This provides slight elasticity to the fabric. Tunisian crochet uses less yarn than traditional crochet. The loops should be knitted without tightening too much. When knitting, the fabric curls due to its high rigidity, so it is recommended to steam the knitted parts of the product before joining them.

We collect a chain of air loops. Starting from the second loop, pull out one loop from each link of the chain, leaving them on the hook.

The number of loops in the first row should repeat the number of air loops in the chain. In the second row we perform alternate closure of the loops. This series is also called “reverse”.

We knit the first loop, then close all the remaining loops in pairs. At the end there should be one loop left on the hook.

The first two rows are always knitted similarly for each pattern in Tunisian knitting.

Next we knit rapport, it consists of two rows. The first row is catching the loops (they also say that Tunisian knitting is knitting “in set”), the second row (reverse) is closing. The knitting is not turned inside out; the fabric is always knitted on the right side.

To capture the loops, you need to straighten the first two rows and clearly mark the protruding vertical broaches, or they are also called Tunisian posts. Alternately insert the hook from right to left through the broach, grab the working thread along the front side and pull it out.

Thus we put the loops on the hook again. It is necessary to ensure that the loops on the hook are of the same height and not tightened. In the second row we close the loops in pairs, not forgetting that we close the first one, thus we raise our rows.

Another option for knitting a charming dense pattern in the form floral motif with braids. This pattern is quite complex in execution, but it will look great on knitted coats, snoods, leggings and many other warm things.

Abbreviations in knitting pattern:

v.p.- air loop;
RLS- single crochet;
SS- connecting post.

The pattern is repeated every 4 rows. In the 1st and 3rd rows there is an alternation of elastic from SS and berries, and in the 2nd and 4th row only SS is knitted.

Important: When knitting a pattern, knit all the loops behind the back wall of the loop.

Progress:

Dial 23 v.p. (3 loops for the elastic, 4 loops for the berry, 4 loops for the gap between the berries, 4 loops for the berry, 4 loops for the gap, 3 loops for the elastic, 1 loop for lifting) (photo 1).

1 row(right side): first sl st in second ch. from the hook, SS in the trail. two loops (photo 2), then the berry is knitted: *1 sc in the next row. loop, ch 1, now you need to find the front leg of the just knitted sc (see the next picture and video below) (photo 3) make a yarn over, insert the hook into this left front leg of the sc, grab and pull the thread, grab the thread again and pull it through 2 loops on the hook (2 loops left on the hook), i.e. the so-called unfinished double crochet was knitted (photo 4).

Then you need to yarn over again, insert the hook there (front leg sc), pull out the thread, grab the thread again and pull it through 3 loops on the hook (2 loops left on the hook), i.e. as if a half double crochet was knitted, skip one loop (for the 1st row - one ch of the initial chain) (photo 1) insert the hook into the next. loop, pull the thread (3 loops on the hook), grab the thread and pull it through all 3 loops on the hook (photo 2), BN in the next. loop.* The berry is ready (photo 3). Make 4 dc (photo 4), berry (repeat from * to *), 4 dc for the gap, 3 dc for the rib.

2nd row(wrong side): 1 ch. rise, SS to the end of the row (total 22 SS). To back walls the loops were better visible, you can hold the knitting vertically (photo 1). Be sure to recalculate the number of SS to avoid errors. Don't forget to work a sl st into the last stitch of the row, which is the ch. lifting the previous row (photo 2). 3rd row: 1 v.p. rise, 3 sl st for the elastic band, 4 sl st for the gap (photo 3), 4 sl st for the berry, 3 sl st for the elastic band. (the berry has shifted in a checkerboard pattern) (photo 4).

4th row: Knit as row 2.

Repeat rows 1-4 to continue the pattern.

Simple openwork pattern

Among the dense patterns there are also openwork ones, which, due to their multi-layer structure of yarn, create the effect of relief and airiness. A similar openwork dense crochet pattern is used both for knitting winter or demi-season items, and for creating summer models clothes. In this case, the density of the yarn will play a decisive role, which is responsible for the “openwork” of the dense pattern. Let's look at several knitting patterns for such ornaments.

• Openwork motif

This simple pattern will also change its functionality depending on the thickness of the yarn chosen, meaning the piece will be more open if the yarn is thin, and tighter if the threads are thick.

In order to start knitting, you need to cast on a chain of chain stitches of an odd number plus 3 chain stitches for lifting.

1st row: in Knit the 4th chain loop of the initial chain 1 tbsp. s/n. *2 unfinished st. s/n with one vertex (1st st. s/n in the same vp as the previous st. s/n, skip 1st ch, 2nd st. s/n), 1 st. s/n in the same loop of the initial chain as the second incomplete treble s/n*. What is in ** is our pattern. We knit it to the end of the row. The row ends with knitting the completed st. s/n in the loop where the second incomplete st was knitted. s/n.

2nd row: knit 3 ch. for lifting. Knit 1 tbsp. s/n in the first st. s/n of the previous row. *1 tbsp. s/n to the top of unfinished sts knitted together. s/n of the previous row, 2 unfinished sts. s/n as in the previous row through 1 loop*. Complete the row with 1 tbsp. s/n to the top of unfinished sts knitted together. s/n of the previous row and another treble s/n in the last st. s/n of the previous row.

The pattern is repeated from the 2nd row.

• Wonderful pattern

This crochet pattern also turns out to be both dense and openwork. It will look good on summer skirts, T-shirts, blouses, and demi-season hats. Here, too, the density of the pattern and the degree of openwork depend on the thickness of the yarn.

In order to start knitting, you need to cast on a chain of chain stitches in multiples of 3 plus 2 chain stitches for lifting.

1st row: You need to knit 2 tbsp. s/n in the 4th v.p. initial chain. Next, skip 2 ch. and with the 3rd stitch you knit the pattern *1 tbsp. b/n, 2 tbsp. s/n*. Skip 2 ch again. and knit the pattern until you have 4 chain stitches left. Two v.p. skip, and in the 3rd and 4th you knit one stitch each. s/n.

2nd row: Knit 2 ch. for lifting. Skip the first st. b/n. (i.e. knit in the first st. s/n of the previous row) and in the second knit 2 tbsp. s/n. Next, knit the pattern *1 tbsp. b/n, 2 tbsp. s/n* in single crochet of the previous row. The pattern is knitted up to the last single crochet of the previous row. The row ends with the fact that in the first st. s/n of the previous row, 1 tbsp is knitted. s/n and knit another st. s/n in v.p. lifting the previous row.

The pattern is repeated from the 2nd row.
