Needlewomen often use a crow's-eye pattern (crochet) in their products, the scheme of which is quite simple. In this case, the picture is pretty. Therefore, it is often used in children's products. For example, when knitting a plaid or blanket .
Tight pattern
To crochet the crow's feet pattern, the diagram of which is presented below, you will need to follow the instructions shown in the figure. For those who do not read well, use the following description.
Dial the chain. The number of loops should be such that it is divided by 10, and one more. First row: 3 loops, 4 double crochets (hereinafter “CH column”), air loop, 9 CH columns, air. Repeat knitting 9 stitches and one stitch until 5 stitches remain in the chain. Then they will need to be filled with five columns of CH.
The pattern of “crow's feet” continues with a hook, the scheme of which is extremely simple, with such elements of the second row: 3 air, 2 columns of CH, air, column of CH, air. Then the rapport begins, which must be repeated until the last five columns remain in the previous row. The rapport consists of a column of CH, an air loop, five columns of CH, air, another column and an air loop. On the last five loops you need to perform: CH column, air loop, 3 CH columns.
The third row completes the base for the pattern. It consists of alternating one column of CH and one air loop, while you need to start the row again with three lifting loops.
Here it is recommended to replace the color of the yarn. This way the crow's feet pattern (crochet) will be clearly visible. The scheme of the fourth row is as follows: 6 airs, a magnificent column (consists of three columns of CH) from the first air of the previous row, another magnificent column from the first air of the second row, the third magnificent will be in the air loop of the first row, the fourth magnificent column is again knitted in the second row, and the last - in the top. This pattern of lush columns should be knitted to the end of the row. It is supposed to complete with three air loops and a column of CH in the last vertex of the previous row.
Then the pattern is repeated from the first row. Moreover, the first three of them need to be knitted in the same color as the row with lush columns. And then change the thread again. But you can vary the color scheme of the pattern. For example, make a base of three rows in the same shade, and each row with lush columns - in different colors.
How can I change this pattern?
Firstly, it is allowed to change the height of the base. For example, make it from the first two rows. Then the legs will be formed by three lush columns and separated by a wide interval of columns of CH.
If you want the “paws” still to be next to each other, then you need to reduce the distance between the elements, that is, do another rapport. It will turn out a completely different plaid (crochet), the “crow's feet” of which are connected not on the columns of the CH, but on them, but without a crochet or on the half-columns.
Recommendation for knitting fluffy columns
All columns extend from different rows to their heights. Therefore, care must be taken not to tighten the yarn. Otherwise, the drawing will turn out to be inaccurate. But you also don’t need to leave the loops very free, because then they will come out of the canvas. There will be no beauty either. To align the lush columns, you can even use a knitting needle, on which to throw all the elements.
Openwork pattern
How to crochet “crow's feet” so that the plaid turns out to be light and airy? To do this, you need to use a different scheme.
Repeat will consist of 8 loops. Therefore, the typesetting chain should be divided by 8 plus one more. The first row begins with two air loops. Then you need to tie a fan of five columns of CH in the 5th loop of the chain, it will be the beginning of the rapport. Work should continue with one air column without a crochet (hereinafter referred to as the “BN column”) in the 4th from the fan, one air one and skip three loops of the chain. Then repeat everything from the fan to the next free loop. The row should end with a BN column.
In the second row, at first 5 loops are made, 3 of which are used for lifting. The row continues with a column of BN in the middle of the fan (it is also a trace of the “crow's feet”), two air columns and a column of CH in the BN column of the previous row. Then two more air and again a column of BN on the "foot". Continue this alternation of columns until the end of the row.
The third row of the pattern: three lifting loops, two CH columns in the same loop from which the lifting was performed. Then one air and a column of BN in the same element of the previous row, another air and a fan at the top of the column of CH. Continue the drawing to the end of the row, which ends with a half of the fan, that is, three columns of CH.
In the fourth row, knit three air loops, a CH column above the BN column, two air loops and a BN column at the top of the fan. Continue this alternation of columns to the end of the row. Then the pattern is repeated from the first row.
