Braiding Technique
One of the original and fairly simple patterns in knitting is a braid. It is enough to be able to perform the front and back loops to get the desired ornament. The whole secret is in throwing a group of loops in different directions and combinations.
How to make woven patterns with knitting needles, consider the example of knitting a double pigtail. The selected motif consists of 16 loops. The wrong side fits in the design, that is, over the front loops - front, over the wrong - wrong.
Legend: and. p. - purl loops, l. p. - front loops.
The first, second, third rows - 2 and. p., 12 l. p. 2 and. P.
The fourth row - 2 and. p., remove three loops on the auxiliary knitting needle and leave at work, 3 l. p., knit the stitches with the front from the auxiliary knitting needle, remove the three stitches on the auxiliary knitting needle and leave it to work, 3 l. p., knit loops face with auxiliary knitting needles, 2 and. P.
Fifth, sixth, seventh rows - like the first.
The eighth row is like the fourth.
Continuing weaving, repeat 1-4 rows. As a result, you will get an upward-directed pigtail, standing out of two located side by side. If you change the principle of transferring additional loops in 4 and similar rows, then the braid will be directed from top to bottom.
Patterns made with knitting needles using various weaves are widely used in such products as rugs, pillows, hats, scarves, sweaters, pullovers. A combination of different ornaments is possible, which will give the product an elegant look.
The use of different colors when knitting
Another way to decorate the product can be a combination of threads of several colors. Take for knitting yarn of two or three contrasting colors that combine with each other. The easiest option for color knitting is to alternate rows, more difficult is to follow the pattern according to the scheme. Even a small finish will make the product more elegant. Two-tone patterns with knitting needles delight the eye with originality and colorfulness.
Extra yarn for knitting is also used to make
jacquard patterns with knitting needles. The principle of the implementation of this technique is that with the help of a yarn of a different color, an ornament is knitted on the front surface, while on the wrong side there are constrictions of threads. The structure of the material must be necessarily the same, that is, have the same thickness and quality. Multicolor can be obtained even if the yarn in its structure is a color that transforms one into another. Any patterns with knitting needles will be appropriate here.
