Knitting is a favorite hobby of many women. This is a rather fascinating needlework, and self-made clothes are unique in their beauty and unique. Hand-bound items cost significantly more. No one will have such a second blouse, blouse or skirt. The variety and originality of knitted things is not in doubt. At the same time, fashion for knitted clothes never passes.
It is important that any woman can create her masterpieces. Everyone can learn to knit, of course. It is only necessary to stock up on materials, desire and patience. To help knitters issue a lot of magazines with a variety of knitted clothes. Any knitted model presented on the pages of magazines can amaze with its color, style and freedom of form. After each description of the models there is a table in which the designations of the knitting patterns are decoded. This is a kind of step-by-step instruction for creating masterpieces. Over time, you will gain experience and will easily recognize all the conventions, and knitting will be your favorite needlework.
Original knitted patterns are based on a variety of knitting methods. Any, the most original drawing can be written down schematically. There is no need to memorize all the conventions, knitting is provided with a decoding of the characters used in the patterns. It is designed to facilitate the knitting process. At the same time, the special icons with which your knitting is encrypted, the legend, are not always the same. Different knitting magazines use different symbols for their patterns.
Novice knitters need to decipher the designation of knitting patterns. However, it is important to learn not only to understand the notation presented in the diagrams, but also to learn how to knit various types of loops.
You can knit any patterns according to the patterns: mesh, braids, bumps, leaflets, etc. Summer models: blouses, dresses, tops, pullovers etc., can be knitted with different patterns, including using patterns in a mesh. They are able to attract views with their weightlessness and transparency.
Before proceeding to knit a large canvas of a particular model, you need to knit a pattern. It is at this stage that you will look through all the symbols for the selected pattern, knitting with the needles begins with the “decoding” of the attached patterns. Only this approach will allow the correct calculations of the required number of loops. Thanks to this, the finished model will be exactly the same as you saw it in the photo in the magazine.
As a rule, a square of 12 cm by 12 cm is knitted for the image, then the number of loops and rows in the square is counted. Having tied a square, counting the rows and loops, you may notice that their number does not coincide with what is written in the journal. Such an incident does not mean that you have not read the legend correctly. Knitting was probably performed too weakly or too tightly. You should take this into account and adjust the knitting or take spokes of a different diameter.
In conclusion, we note that knitting patterns are always read from the bottom up. The ranks are worth reading alternately. The first row is read from left to right, the second - from right to left. Thus, you can focus on the number of the series: even and odd rows. Circular rows must be read from right to left. Any rapports when knitting the fabric are repeated in width. Edge loops are not always shown on the diagrams . It is worth remembering that they need to be recruited additionally. There may be vertical thick lines on the grid of the circuit, indicating that a repeated rapport is enclosed between them. Loops located outside such lines are considered extreme in the corresponding pattern. They are knitted only at the beginning and, accordingly, at the end of the row.
We will only name the basic, basic symbols, knitting cannot be done without the front and back loops. Front loops in schemes can be designated as a vertical dash or a filled cell, and purl loops - a horizontal dash or an empty cell. The yarn, as a rule, is depicted by an empty circle, and overlaps are indicated by a tick or arrow, directed towards the overlap of the loops.
