If you are new to crocheting or just want to diversify your products by adding something new and interesting to them, then this article is for you. You, of course, are familiar with the fact that you can decorate knitted items with rhinestones, beads and stones, but you can make an original thing without jewelry.
To do this, just learn a few beautiful patterns and techniques. In this article you will learn how to learn how to crochet a embossed column, as well as how and in which products this skill can be applied.
When this technique is used in knitting, peculiar “humps” are formed on the product, especially noticeable with a smooth basic texture. That is why sometimes the relief is called a "convex column".
If you still do not know how to crochet a relief column, then start trying on threads that will not be pulled in your hands, for example, acrylic.
To tie a embossed column, collect air loops; 10 is enough for a sample. The first row must be connected with nikid in columns. Then make three lifting loops. To do this, simply crochet three air loops after tying the crochet posts and turning the product over.
Now put the thread on the hook and push it under the double crochet of the previous row, and then grab the yarn. On the hook you should have three loops. Knit them in two steps, that is, grab the thread and pull first through the first two loops (a couple remains on the hook), and then knit the remaining ones. So you have a crocheted embossed column. You can perform this pattern with single crochet, but using the same technique.
If you alternate the rows of ordinary and embossed columns, you will get a very original knitting.
The hook in this knitting, as in any other, must be matched to the thickness of the thread. Try to master the relief in different ways: if you grab the thread not from the back, as in the wrong knitting, but from the front, then this will be the front embossed column with a hook. They look in the finished product in completely different ways.
This knitting technique can be applied in any product. But best of all it will look on warm dense things, for example sweaters. When the thread is thicker, then the characteristic “bulge” will be more visible.
If you are a beginner and it’s still difficult for you to knit a convex column, start with easier knitting techniques.
For example, from a single crochet. When you master this, then it will not be difficult for you to tie a relief column. Later, when it becomes easier for you to understand knitting patterns, and your hands will get used to crocheting the stitches, then you will definitely be able to create what you want. But start with simple patterns and small things. It is best to start with scarves, it can be both light spring and warm winter. On spring models, you can experiment with patterns without fear that holes will form in the canvas, which cannot be said about winter scarves, which should be fairly tight knitted, but you can try to learn how to knit volume patterns on them.
Try, improve, experiment and in the future you will surely succeed!
