Openwork and embossed patterns have always been relevant in the manufacture of knitted items. They will probably never go out of style. Openwork products or partial inserts in the form of openwork look very beautiful. Embossed patterns give things a unique chic.
Openwork patterns
The most common type of knitting patterns, among all available, has always been and remains openwork. It is amazing what unusual, bizarre ornaments a person is able to come up with, transferring them to the product and using only three main methods of knitting: the front, the wrong loops and the crochet.
From ancient times to this day, openwork scarves, shawls, blouses, tops and dresses do not go out of fashion. If you create such a work of art yourself, then your creation will be unusual and unique.
Varieties of lace
This type of knitting is conditionally divided into simple and complex. Ordinary drawings are based on the fact that the relief is formed only in the front rows, the wrong loops must be knitted according to the pattern. It is necessary to knit a more complex openwork ornament both in the front and in the back row.
The first impression may turn out to be misleading, because even the most ornate pattern can be done by following the pattern and showing patience and perseverance.
Openwork patterns, regardless of whether they are complex or simple, are separated from each other by other signs. Namely, the ornament, which is obtained as a result of hard work. It can be openwork hearts with knitting needles, waves, flowers, leaves, plaits, braids, Irish, Japanese openwork, etc. There is no clear classification of openwork.
Two-color hearts
In order to create a two-color pattern with knitting needles, hearts and the main field of the product must be knitted with different colors of threads. There are two ways to do this. The first involves knitting hearts in different colors. This method is quite simple. The advantage of this technique is that you can come up with a drawing yourself by drawing up its diagram previously on a piece of paper. The color scheme is selected in accordance with the preferences of the needlewoman.
The second way is a bit more complicated. But at the same time more interesting. The product in the technique of knitting with double-sided jacquard is obtained, as the name implies, with double-sided. That is, on the one and on the other hand, a unique pattern appears in the process of work.
The first way: two-color hearts
The figures in this figure are knitted exclusively using a combination of colors. We knit the "hearts" pattern exclusively with facial stitch. Making such a crochet ornament is somewhat easier. But this article deals exclusively with the knitting technique.
For those who do not know, the odd (front rows) need to be knitted only with front loops. The exception is the edge loops. In an even row (wrong side), all the loops according to the pattern are knitted exclusively with purl stitches. In fact, the pattern of "hearts" with needles is not so complicated. The scheme and description are presented below.
Getting to work. The pattern consists of 27 loops. On the knitting we dial 29, since we still have two edge loops. Determine the choice of yarn and knit the first color two rows of the front surface.
In the third row, we begin to form a heart. We knit 12 loops in the first color and, after attaching the second thread, we knit the first three loops. The end of the row ends with the first thread.
The thread of the first color must be pulled behind the product, while it must be ensured that its tension is not too strong, otherwise this may distort the pattern. But she should not sag too much.
The fourth even row we knit nine loops with the first thread, nine second. The last nine are knitted with the first thread. The non-working thread of the first thread must be pulled from the front of the work.
In the fifth row, we increase on both sides two loops of the second color. Thus, we get seven loops on both sides of the first color and 13 loops of the second color in the center.
In the next row in the center you need to knit one loop with a thread of the first color. This will be the place where the heart begins to be knitted against the background of the circle.
Further, the work must be continued, strictly observing the scheme, alternating the threads of the first and second colors. After the heart is completely tied, you need to finish the circle and tie the product.
The second method is "Double-sided Jacquard"
In order to create a beautiful jacquard "hearts" pattern with knitting needles, you will need two types of yarn. It is desirable that both options are of the same thickness and composition. Of course, you will also need a circuit and a pair of knitting needles. It is important to carefully match the figure and count the rows. Beginning needlewomen should choose the simplest pattern for training. By completing it, you will already be able to proceed with more complex schemes. But everything comes with experience. And at first, you have to carefully count the loops.
So, let's get to work. The pattern of "hearts" with knitting needles in the technique of double-sided jacquard is knitted according to the principle of hollow gum. In those places where the pattern is made, the product is as if connected. In those where the background of the picture is tied, the canvas can be divided into two parts.
The pattern consists of 15 loops, that is, for the pattern you need to dial twice as many loops, while adding two edge loops. As a result, we gain 32 loops.
It is necessary to collect loops at once with two threads. At the same time, one of them should be located closer to oneself. In the next row we take the thread of the main color and knit loops of only this color. The loops of the second thread are simply removed. We knit with facial loops. When loops are removed, the thread is placed before work.
The next row must be started from the same place as the previous one. But already knit a thread and loops of the second color. The next two rows are knitted in a similar way.
The row where the pattern begins, we will knit in a slightly different way, speeding up the process. We take two threads and knit them alternately. We carry out everything strictly according to the drawing, correctly alternating the colors of the threads. The hinges of the main color must be knitted with facial ones. Auxiliary - purl loops. The wrong side of the knit according to the pattern in accordance with the color of the loops.
Next, alternating the colors of the threads and the back and front loops, create a pattern. The pattern of hearts with knitting needles in the technique of double-sided jacquard is unique in the sense that at the same time two patterns of opposite color are created at once.
Hearts Pattern
Thanks to the instructions presented in the article, you can knit a small thing, the embellishment of which will be a pattern of "hearts" with knitting needles. The diagram and description are immediately presented under the figure and you do not need to rely only on your skills when creating a product.
If you have a desire to create a unique and unique thing of your kind, do not be afraid to experiment. You can completely knit the product using openwork hearts with knitting needles. Things look good in which there is one or two fragments made by the technique described below.
This pattern is 22 loops high and 15 loops wide. However, to understand the author’s idea, it is necessary to knit several rapports in a row. This is a simple openwork. The pattern is formed only in the front row. The diagram shows the designations only in the front rows, the wrong ones are tied strictly according to the figure.
Openwork "Heart"
In this article, we have chosen the simplest and most beautiful patterns for knitting. Hearts in this pattern are formed of 13 loops wide and 16 rows high. This is one of the simple openwork, therefore suitable for beginner craftswomen, but at the same time very beautiful. It is great for inserting dresses and blouses for girls.
The diagram shows only the front rows. The loops of the wrong row are knitted according to the pattern, and the crochets are only the wrong loops.
Mesh Heart Pattern
This section presents the pattern of the mesh heart on the background of the surface. The pattern report is 20 rows and 24 loops. The diagram shows both front and back rows. Front must be knitted from right to left. Wrong - on the contrary.
