The fact that mittens are warmer than gloves has long been known. At the same time, the latter are sold so beautiful, in a variety of colors and with ornaments, that the mittens in comparison with them seem monotonous and patterned. So, what to choose patterns for mittens (knitting needles) to stand out from the crowd.
A simple way to create patterns
Knitting mittens is in the following sequence:
To tie the mittens according to your sketch, you need to measure the brush in a wide place above the thumb, as well as the length from the base to the end of the palm. Next, consider how many loops are in ten centimeters. Draw a sketch of the product, where one loop is equal to the cell.
For example, the girth of the brush around the thumb is 20 centimeters. There are 17 loops per ten centimeters, then for our example you need to dial 34 p. Next, the picture is drawn for the front part (17 p.) According to the type of monochrome pattern for cross-stitch.
This is the easiest way for beginners to create original patterns for mittens (knitting needles) with a simple facial surface. Various snowflakes, animals, flowers, plants, abstraction and a combination of several colors turn a simple product into exclusive mittens!
If you do not know how to knit in several colors at the same time, then embroider the selected pattern with threads on the finished product. Embroidery can be chaotic or correspond to loops of mittens, resembling jacquard patterns (knitting needles). The mittens in this example resemble the Norwegian and Finnish styles.
Patterns for professionals
Experienced knitters can knit original mittens by mixing different patterns. Volumetric mittens are especially beautiful. For example, the alternation of Christmas trees and braids or cones and harnesses. Due to volumetric patterns, mittens can be associated with owls, mice and geometric shapes.
To choose the right patterns for mittens, knit with a single cloth several rapports of your favorite patterns. Then you will clearly see their harmony and density. Here is an interesting pattern of a braid and Christmas trees (an asterisk and a number indicate a repeat of the pattern from * to *):
- * 1 front (L), yarn (H) * 6 times, 1L, 2 wrong (I), 6L, 2I.
- 13L, 2I, 6L, 2I.
- Knit two loops together front for the back wall (2PL), 9L, 2PL, 2I, 6L, 2I.
- 2PL, 7L, 2PL, 2I, 6L, 2I.
- 2PL, 5L, 2PL, 2I, 6L, 2I.
- * 1L, H * 6 times, 1L, 2I, braid (remove 3 loops before work, 3L, then knit the loops removed), 2I.
- Repeat the pattern from the 2nd to the 6th row as many times as necessary.
This volumetric pattern is more complicated, but you get the original knitting mittens (knitting needles).
Patterns: simple braid patterns
For a simple braid, we use the notation of the previous figure. Collect the number of loops, a multiple of 11, and repeat the pattern from the first to eleventh row the desired number of times. All even rows are knitted the same way: 9I, 2L, so we only denote the odd rows.
- 1st and 3rd rows: 2I, 9L.
- 5th p: 2I, braid with a slope to the right (removing 3 loops for work, 3L and knitting the loops removed), 3L.
- 7th and 9th rows fit like the first.
- 11th p: 2I, braid with an inclination to the left (removing 3 loops before work, 3L and knitting the loops removed).
Braids are classic and beautiful patterns for mittens. A knitted product looks unusual if you combine different types of braids and harnesses. Follow simple tips and get original mittens!
