The connecting post (otherwise the half-column, ora blind loop) is one of the basic elements of crochet. It is used to perform transitions, for fastening and processing edges, and also in circular knitting for closing a circle.
Also, the connection bar is used forconnecting parts of the product, for example, when making rugs, covers, tablecloths of square, triangular or any other motifs. In rare cases, it is used to create a straight canvas. In this article, we will tell novice needlewomen how to hook the connecting post. For greater clarity, we will also present step-by-step photographs of the binding of this basic element. We hope, our article will help you to understand this technique of work.
The blind loop is the lowest in heightan element in crochet. That's why it allows you to accurately and almost unnoticeably connect different elements of the product, beautifully perform circular napkins, flowers, and also make loops adjustments. The canvas, created by half-columns, has a very dense structure and perfectly holds the shape.
On schemes, a blind loop is denoted by severalways: a black cross, a half-arm or a semi-oval. Next, we will describe how to fasten the connecting bar simply and quickly, and then describe how to make a bright rug in an interesting technique called "Bosnian".
In order to learn how to tie a connecting half-crocheted crochet, we suggest that you perform a small sample. Prepare any yarn and hook suitable for it in size.
In Bosnia and other Muslim countries very mucha special kind of crochet - half-poles behind the back wall of the loop of the base is popular. It is called Bosnian. The products made in this technique are quite elastic, wear-resistant and durable. Often it is with the help of Bosnian knitting that belts, mittens, berets, socks, rugs and many other items are made.
Also, using thin multicoloredcotton threads "Snowflake", "Lily" and "Iris", needlewomen create a decorative braid with usual connecting posts and use it for finishing and decorating clothes. Let's look at how this pattern is crocheted. The connecting post in Bosnian knitting is always tied behind one wall - the back or front. At the same time, the VP of lifting at the beginning of the series is not fulfilled. Instead, the first column in the row knits into the first loop from the hook, behind both its walls. An important nuance of carrying out the Bosnian pattern is that it is always necessary to work in both the front and back rows with one hinge wall, either the rear or the front. If you alternate them - you get a canvas that looks like an elastic band. Thanks to the use of multi-colored threads and various combinations of the walls of loops and rows (purl and facial), unusually beautiful patterns are obtained.
We advise you to choose for the manufacture of the productmore dense yarn or fold the thread in half. Start work with a chain of air loops, the length of which should be equal to the desired width of the future mat (for example, 50 cm). Finish the row, securing and cutting the work thread. Now make the initial loop on the hook, leaving a small tail (7 cm). You already know how to make the connecting column crocheted. Insert the tool into the first loop of the base, grasp the thread and perform a "dead" loop. Continue to carry half-poles to the end of the row. Remember that the hook should be inserted behind the rear wall of the loop. After finishing the series, cut the working thread, leaving a small piece (about 7 cm), and then fasten the last loop, dragging the thread through it. Subsequently, these tails at the beginning and at the end of the row will become fringe on the sides of the product. When you learn how to knit the crocheted crochet, try creating this interesting striped rug. It is performed very simply - in Bosnian engineering with blind loops. For work, you need 250 grams of acrylic yarn of two contrasting shades (for example, pink and lilac or white and red) and hook No. 4.
The second row starts again with the initial loop on the hook and tie it on the front side in the same direction as the first, half-columns.
Color the threads change every two rows.To prevent the canvas from being cut to the right side, each fourth row starts to knit from the second loop, and at the end, perform one more loop, thereby slightly shifting the knitting to the left. Knit until your mat reaches the desired length. At the end, trim the fringe with scissors. Such a bright and soft product will be an excellent decor element for your bathroom or bedroom.
