Those who learned to knit independently are unlikelyThere are many terms that are directly related to this type of needlework. Of course, you can create knitted masterpieces and not understanding the special notation, but for this, most likely, you need to have a special talent. But those needlewomen who want to use the help of magazines and pages on the Internet in order to link any model, to know the terms and conventions is simply necessary. Otherwise, nothing will come of it. In this article we will discuss such a thing as rapport. What it is, you will understand when you read the article to the end.
If you knit a regular knit product, such as the front surface or stocking knit, then you will not come across the concept of "rapport". But when knitting with any pattern, knowing what it is is useful to you.
If you decide to tie a blouse beautiful openworkpattern, then surely in the description you will find these words: "repeat rapport ...". Focusing on the scheme, you can see the designation of rapport by square brackets or arrows. If you prefer a verbal description of the pattern being executed, the repeating loops (rapport) will be marked with an asterisk. Almost always the series begins with several loops that do not require subsequent repetition, followed by rapport (requiring repetition across the entire width of the product), then the final loops. Do not forget that the number of loops you scored for knitting a product should be a multiple of the number of loops in the repeat. Only in this case the drawing will be uniform.
Each pattern has its own rapport.What it is, you now know. It happens that rapport includes a very large number of loops and does not repeat. In this case, it is necessary to calculate the loops before and after the repeat in such a way that the figure is in the center.
There are two types of this concept.This is a rapport horizontal and vertical character. The horizontal version, we have already discussed above. Recall that this is a repeating number of loops to create a uniform pattern throughout the canvas.
A rapport in crochet is, in principle, somethingsame as knitting. It is displayed in the same way on the diagram (using square brackets). Its feature can only be the designation of rows. If in the pattern for a pattern made with knitting needles, most often even rows are not marked, since they have the same execution method (by using them in the wrong way or by drawing), then when crocheting, all rows are visible, both even and odd. Therefore, before you begin work, carefully study the diagram and note the most important points for yourself. For example, if you crochet not in a circle, but from right to left, and then from left to right, then at the beginning of the row it is necessary to make air loops in order to raise the height of the row. And here they are, just in rapport and not included, they do not need to be repeated.
Careful consideration of the scheme guarantees youperfect result. If you are a beginning needlewoman, then for the first works it is better to choose the most simple pattern and simple rapport. What it is and why it is necessary is much easier to understand in practice than simply by studying theory. Therefore, boldly take the hook or knitting needles in your hands and start knitting. Do not be afraid to do something wrong. After all, as they say: “The one who does nothing is not mistaken!” Of course, you can hardly avoid mistakes at all, but you will gain invaluable experience. And it is very useful to you in further work.
We hope that from the above, yougot an answer to your question and the notion of "rapport" now does not seem so scary and incomprehensible to you. Inspiration and pleasant work in all respects!
