The “honeycomb” pattern, knitting with needles, looks very good in products such as hats, mittens, sweaters, cardigans. Its structure is a double knitted fabric. And this means that the thing done by him turns out to be voluminous and very warm. There are several options for performing this figure. We suggest you familiarize yourself with two descriptions by which you can learn how to knit a "honeycomb" pattern with knitting needles. The diagrams presented to your attention show that this pattern can be made in the form of small cells and large ones. Further in the descriptions, the design technology of these design options is described in detail.
"Bee honeycombs" (small cells): instructions for implementation
We start knitting this version of the pattern from the wrong side, that is, unpaired rows will form the inner side of the product, and paired ones - the front.
1 row: remove one loop (edge), * 1 front loop, remove 1 loop and double crochet *. Repeat the pattern to the last loop from the * - * icons.
2 row: (outer side of the product): hem (remove), * double crochet, without knitting, transfer from one spoke to another (right), 2 front loops *. Repeat the looping from the * - * icons to the last loop in the row.
3 row: hem, * 1 the back loop to be removed on another knitting needle, make a crochet, the next loop, together with the crochet made in the previous row, knit the front *. From * to * repeat the design of the pattern to the end of the row.
4 row: hem, * 2 loops are knitted with the front, the yarn, without knitting, is transferred from the left knitting needle to the right *. Repeat this alternation of loops to the end of the row.
5 row: hem, * 1 knit a buttonhole with the yarn made earlier, the front one behind the front wall, remove the wrong side stitch, make a yarn *. Repeat pattern from * to *.
6 row: hem, * yarn overlay from one knitting needle to another, without knitting, 2 front loops *. Repeat the loop sequence from the * - * icons to the end of the row.
7 row: we knit as well as 3 row, etc.
Large honeycomb pattern. We knit a sample
We knit the first row with facial loops, and the second - with the wrong ones.
3 row: 4 facial loops, 2 loops simply removed without knitting, while the thread is at work. Repeat this sequence to the end of the row.
4 row: 4 purl loops, 2 loops to remove without knitting, while the thread is before work.
5th, as well as 7th rows to perform as the 3rd. And knit the 6th and 8th rows, as the 4th. Knit the 9th row with purl stitches, and the 10th row with knit stitches.
11 row: 1 front loop, * 2 to remove, without knitting (the thread is at work), 4 front *, repeat * - * until the last loop, 1 front.
12 row: 1 wrong loop, * 2 to remove from one knitting needle to another (the thread is before work), 4 wrong ones *, repeat from signs * - * to the last chain, 1 wrong side.
The 13th, as well as the 15th rows are performed as the 11th. And the 14th and 16th rows are knitted in the same way as the 12th. Next, the “honeycomb” pattern should be knitted with needles, repeating the technology of execution from the 1st row. This pattern can be found in specialized literature and on needlework sites called "waffles."
One important tip for needlewomen
These options for the picture belong to the group of patterns with the loops removed. Knit them should be weak. The thread stretching along the wrong side of the work cannot be tightened, otherwise the fabric will turn out shapeless and compressed.
The “honeycomb” pattern, knitting with needles in accordance with the description, can be safely called one of the most elegant drawings.
