After beginning knitters masterfirst tricks and get acquainted with different types of loops, they understand that they can work with most patterns. Simple schemes really are based on a combination of front and back loops, harnesses with knitting needles - not an exception. Patterns, which are called arans, harnesses and braids, are a weave of several strands of facial loops.
Classical can be considered a braid of two strands,which are intertwined to the left or to the right. That is, in the process of forming the canvas the foreman changes the first and second strands in places (and then binds these loops with the facial ones). After several rows performed exactly, the interlacing action is repeated. The order is retained until the end of the work.
Such harnesses are used to makeany products: sweaters, dresses, hats, mittens, scarves and everything else. The classic braid looks very simple, so it is often used as an additional decorative element. True, there are some types of clothes that are knit exclusively by simple aranas, for example, Lalo cardigan. They use very large (even huge) tows with knitting needles. Their schemes consist of two strands of 12-16 facial loops as well.
More complex ornaments from arans may includefrom three to five to several tens of braces. An excellent example is the various Irish patterns and Celtic knots. To twist such strings with knitting needles, it is not necessary to be a master-ace, enough care and methodicality. Often knitters even dispense with schemes, inventing their own three-dimensional designs.
The photo at the beginning of the article shows a sweater,decorated with braids. They may seem complicated at first glance, however they are quite simple in work. The secret of the imaginary complexity of the pattern is that not only entire strands are intertwined, but also split. A craftsman should choose a medium-thick yarn and always perform a control sample before starting knitting. The plaits contribute to the shrinkage of the webs, so errors in the dimensions of the finished product are possible.
The rapport of this pattern consists of 22 loops and 20 rows. This is part of the scheme, which is constantly repeated.
In the case where this is impossible (if rapporttoo big and it is necessary to tie it in half), the foreman can perform a simple face on the edges of the canvas. Let's consider all described on an example:
For this pattern, this is permissible, but if it were necessarywas to place exclusively whole repeating fragments, we would perform six or seven rapports. As an alternative, six solid stripes of the pattern (132 loops) could be tied together, and the extra loops (5 on each side) should be brought under stocking.
After the completed calculations, you can start working:
On this rapport ends, therefore, the master must repeat the algorithm first.
With due attention to detail and developedspatial imagination, every knitter can learn how to perform knitting with knitting needles. Schemes, samples, descriptions are not necessarily to be taken as instructions. Rather, it is a powerful impetus for imagination and fantasy.
