Material used
For knitting summer lace with knitting needles, needlewomen use thin yarn without defects and knots. Knitted clothes made of cotton, acrylic, linen and viscose are well worn and pleasant to the body. Various variations in the composition and combination of threads in a percentage ratio are permissible. Dark colors of yarn will be inappropriate, as they will not convey the whole expressiveness of the pattern.
In addition to threads, when knitting openwork patterns, straight or circular knitting needles of the appropriate size are used. When creating a drawing, the main thing is not to go astray while reading the diagram. In order not to be mistaken, special row counters are used. The needlewomen also knit braid elements with the help of auxiliary devices, on which several loops are temporarily removed. If necessary, markers marking the end and beginning of rapport may be needed. Also hooks for tying and stitching parts.
Legend
Patterns connected with an openwork method are made with the help of yarn, several loops knitted together, and various variations of the front loops with the wrong ones by reducing, crossing and adding them. There are simple patterns whose rapport contains two or four loops. There are complex ornaments containing more than a dozen loops and several rows up. The number of crochets determines the structure of the canvas. Their alternation helps to understand how airy the product will be.
The crochet on the scheme is often indicated by a circle "O" or the letter "U"
Front loop "I"
Wrong loop "-"
If the pattern contains an element with three knitted loops together, then they can be tilted to the left or tilted to the right and can be indicated by the letter “T” tilted to a certain side, an up or down arrow, or a check mark with a number corresponding to the number of knitted loops .
Simple openwork knitting needles for beginners
Consider a simple “Leaves” pattern. The rapport consists of 22 loops and 2 hem.
On the diagram, a plus sign denotes the first and last loops of the canvas. If you need to connect several rapports, then 22 loops should be repeated each time, ending with a hem loop. The drawing occupies 12 rows. From the 13th row, knit a pattern first.
Black square - front loops, circle - crochets.
A triangle with a right angle to the left - the first loop is removed, then the second loop of the front is knitted and stretched through the first. At the same time remove it from the knitting needle.
Triangle with a right angle to the right - two loops are knitted together from left to right.
From the wrong side, the loops are sewn in the wrong way, all the crochets are made in the same way.
The pattern is very simple for beginner needlewomen. Beautiful because openwork leaves are depicted here. If you take the yarn of autumn flowers, you can create an original blouse or cardigan that inspires thoughts of Indian summer.
