Let us consider in more detail the knitting of the wrong crossed loop. The use of crossed (back or front) loops makes it possible to significantly increase the number of patterns connected on knitting needles. They can be used as basic elements. The canvas at the same time comes out a little more dense.
Materials
You will need:
- knitting needles by the thickness of the thread.
- Knitting.
The following is a step-by-step guide on how to knit the wrong crossed loop. So, we will study.
Crossed back loop: how to knit. First way
Dial an arbitrary number of loops for the sample. The canvas is rarely knitted only with crossed purl, usually this type of loop is used in combination with others. If you need a version of the garter stitch , which is made with crossed loops, it is better to knit it with the front ones, which are done like this: remove the hem, insert the right knitting needle, which is currently on the edge, from right to left. All the time, the working thread should be in work. The right knitting needle must grab it, pull it to the front side. Discard the loop of the previous row, as with ordinary knitting loops.
This is how the crossed back loop turns out. How to knit continuously? To do this, when performing purl crossed loops, the working thread must be engaged all the time. The crossed one differs from the wrong ordinary loop in that the right knitting needle is introduced from left to right into the loop. That is why this type of hinge is also called "purl behind the back wall." This name is found in some old knitting publications. Insert the right knitting needle into the loop from left to right. The working thread should be placed on the left needle. It must be captured, the loop pulled to the front side. Discard the loop from the previous row.
Second way
Crossed back loop - how to knit it in another way? Remove the edge loop, place the working thread in front of the left knitting needle. The right knitting needle must be inserted from right to left into the loop in the same way as you do when knitting ordinary purl loops. Bring the working thread under the end of the right knitting needle. Transfer to the right knitting needle, pull to the front side.
No more complicated than an ordinary one, a crossed back loop is created. How to knit faster? A little more time is spent on its implementation, as a result, the knitting process slows down a little. Therefore, when performing a smooth web with crossed loops, only one kind is knitted. Often the facial ones are crossed, and the wrong ones are ordinary (although it is possible and vice versa). The pattern is dense, but it does not perform faster than ordinary stocking.
Differences from the ordinary seam loop
If the simple wrong side is knitted for the right half of the loop, then the crossed one is knotted upside down: for the left half of the loop. It is inconvenient to knit, because crossed can not be confused with standard loops.
Due to the fact that the placement of the loop on the knitting needles is different, the option of knitting a crossed loop is not the only one, there are four of them. In addition, the seizure of the thread can be done in different ways - counterclockwise and clockwise.
There are two options for knitting the wrong crossed loop. 2 seams of the wrong crossed knit for the front of the loop. If you take a closer look, you can find that the crossed loop does not appear in the current, but in the previous row. On the other hand, when capturing the working thread, it will be located differently (on the right knitting needle).
Since we now know how to knit various crossed loops, we show for comparison two examples of the front surface.
One of them is connected by crossed, and the other by ordinary loops. The difference is obvious.
When knitting crossed reverse loops, the thread is always in operation. The right knitting needle should be inserted by moving it toward you on the left into the loop from left to right (it is taken by the back wall), grab the thread in the direction of the arrow and pull the loop to the wrong side. Then, on the right knitting needle, the last loop must be left, and the loop of the previous row from the left knitting needle should be dropped.
The French method of knitting crossed back: the thread is placed in front of the right knitting needle. The working thread is located to the right of the loop, the tip of the right knitting needle must be inserted into the first loop under the thread from right to left. Grab the thread on the index finger (above the knitting needle) by moving from left to right, hold it and knit through the first loop away from you (the crossed wrong side of the French method corresponds to knitting the ordinary wrong loop described at the very beginning of the article). Note that knitting with crossed loops gives the fabric greater elasticity.
What makes a crossed loop interesting?
Of course, the fact that with its help they make the required decrease in knitting. In this case, the place of decrease is almost imperceptible.
Good luck in your endeavors!
