In the world of knitting, there are a lot of very different patterns and among this amount openwork reliefs occupy a significant place. Those needlewomen who have been knitting for more than one year are happy to use them in order to create beautiful models of children's and women's clothing - dresses, blouses, scarves and the like. And the most popular and favorite openwork reliefs are wavy. It is to them that the “Peacock Tail” pattern refers to knitting. Its scheme is not so complicated as it might seem at first glance. However, first things first.
A bit about the pattern
Patterns of openwork patterns have always enjoyed special attention among knitters. Even very experienced. In such a relief, made of knitting needles, there is a clear wavy line that can be visually defined as stylish and very beautiful. The beauty of this pattern has long determined its popularity for many decades. And he really does not go out of fashion, which is the peculiarity of the ornament. The pattern “Peacock tail” with knitting needles (a diagram of it will be given a little below) is applicable for different knitted products, and in each it only increases the value of these things. That is why such a drawing will always be very relevant and in demand.
I must say that such an ornament is often used not only as the main one. Pattern “Peacock tail” (knitting), scheme which is posted in the article, is also used as a beautiful spectacular insert. And since the canvas that forms such an interesting openwork pattern has a wavy edge, it is great for decorating the bottom of the product. Due to this property of the pattern, it is used as a border.
Combine and dilute
In addition, it is really very interesting and even profitable knitting: the “Peacock tail” pattern is so good that it combines wonderfully with other openwork patterns.
Experienced knitters know that taking it as a basis, it is quite possible to create other strikingly beautiful patterns. The “Peacock Tail” pattern is made a little differently. The scheme will undergo only minor changes. It is possible, for example, to increase the number of rows in the used rapport, to insert purl stitches between wave-forming rows, it is also allowed to add or reduce loops between these rows. Apply the pattern also in parts.
"Tail": the first way of execution
Materials and tools that will be needed: threads and knitting needles of the required size. The flow chart will be described right now.
It should be noted that the number of loops must be a multiple of 17. Edge loops do not need to be added here. In height, each wave must be knitted four rows.
So, the scheme.
- On the knitting needles dial 17 stitches and two more hem. The first row must be knitted with front loops for the front walls. The second is the wrong side.
- The pattern starts from the third row. Reshoot the first loop, knit two together on the wrong side. So repeat twice more.
- Now we need to make a crochet. Then knit the front loop and double crochet. Similarly, repeat five more times.
- Until the end of the row, you should knit two loops three times together with the wrong loops.
- Knit the last edge loop from the wrong side.
- Now you need to expand the product and knit the fourth row. All loops, without exception, must be purl.
Attention to knitters: starting from the fourth row, all the loops are knitted on the wrong side, as are the crochets. But from the fifth row, it all starts from the beginning. In such a simple way, a beautiful openwork canvas is obtained.
The second way to execute: where to start?
Consider another description of the Peacock Tail pattern. Visually, it resembles a beautiful wave. This pattern is slightly less openwork than the previous one, but outwardly it will always look quite easy and elegant. It will take the same knitting needles and threads for its execution.
The knitting pattern is as follows. On the needles you need to dial so many loops so that the number is a multiple of 18. You can knit a couple of rapports in order to better see the picture.
In order to understand whether this pattern is really so beautiful, you need to dial 36 loops (twice 18 each) and two hem. The initial four rows should be tied with a front stitch. In the first and third rows there will be only front loops, and in the second and fourth rows - purl. From the fifth row, you can start counting the loops, carefully and carefully knitting the pattern.
Now you need to re-edge, and the next two loops simultaneously knit with the wrong loop. It is necessary to repeat two more times the simultaneous knitting of two loops. Following are the front and the crochet. Similarly, knit five times. At the end, you should get six facial loops with crochets.
The second way of execution: tips
After the steps described above, you need to put the working thread in front of the product and knit three times in two loops of the wrong one. Rapport are 18 loops. It must be knitted to the end of the row. Since the sixth row is even, it must be done on the wrong side, as well as crochets.
Important tip: it is most convenient to knit the crochets on the front wall with a purl loop.
Rapport of the considered pattern - from the first to the sixth row. Repeat it several times to get a beautiful pattern. Its edge looks like a wave, so it looks perfect in skirts and dresses. It is better to choose monophonic threads for work, because melange threads will lose their beauty and the picture will look vague.
So, it has already become clear that openwork patterns may be different. But with proper and accurate execution, they all turn out to be very interesting and worthy of attention.
