Crocheting is one of the most fun and easy activities. Even a five-year-old child can master it, what can we say about experienced craftswomen. Many patterns suitable for both light summer clothes and warm winter ones help to create things that are unique in their beauty. And even if you prefer to knit, you still have to come across a hook sooner or later. For example, for finishing the edges of the finished product. Here, for this case, such a knitting technique as the “wild step” with a crochet was invented.
Various execution techniques
There are several ways to make such a pattern as a "step" crochet. The scheme is quite simple and does not require special skills. Now you yourself will see for yourself. Most often, the “step of the dog” is used where a quick, simple and high-quality finish is needed. For example, in children's products. The vest or skirt tied in this way takes on a finished look. And most importantly, you do not need much time, as when knitting an elastic band with knitting needles.
The first way is traditional
The first thing you need to remember: the “step of step” technique is crocheted from left to right. This is important, because otherwise you will get the usual single crochet. If you are trying to knit with a "wild step" for the first time, practice to start with the pattern, and only then proceed to the finished product.
Most often, the crochet “hand step” is carried out at the final stage, after the assembly of all parts. Therefore, when tying, for example, the neck, it is necessary to attach the thread in the place you need with a hook and start the execution of ordinary columns without a crochet, but in the other direction (from left to right). The hook must be inserted under both arcs of the previous row, capturing the working thread, knit two loops together. That's all! Now your
knitwear has a beautiful embossed hem.
The second way - lush columns
In principle, it is practically no different from the above method. The only thing you should pay attention to is the number of loops on the hook. Instead of introducing the hook under the arcs of the previous row once, we perform this procedure, for example, three times. You can do more, it all depends on what thickness and splendor you need to finish.
Such a magnificent crochet step, made with a crochet, is most suitable for warm clothes: winter hats, sweaters and so on.
Where is the "step of the wild" used
As already noted above, the technique "Crawler step" is used in the decoration of finished things. For tying the neck, armholes, bottom of the product. It doesn’t matter whether these things are crocheted or knitted; in any case, the "step" looks very nice and appropriate.
Another direction in which the above technique is applied is openwork knitting. Napkins, tablecloths, various decorative ornaments, collars, cuffs and so on. All these things are complete without finishing. The crochet step is also very common in these products. The photo shows how with its help such a decorative element as a leaf is tied.
Using this technique, you can finish the handkerchiefs by tying them first with ordinary single crochet columns, and then with the pattern “Crab step”. Everything is quite simple, but such original handkerchiefs will look stylish and extraordinary.
