It is Scotland - the land of cages - that is considered the home of this pattern, only in those parts it is called the "dog fang".

It is necessary to draw the attention of beginning knitters to the fact that the “goose foot” is a pattern that looks quite original in the performance of melange yarn.

Knitted classic. Where to start?
This is the first option that shows the goose foot pattern, how to knit it and what needs to be done for this. The scheme itself is not very complicated. The most important thing is to be able to knit facial loops for the back or front wall, and also the "grandmother" purl loops.

Knitted classic. Start knitting
So, the “goose foot”, the pattern is quite interesting, fits so.
On the knitting need to dial the number of loops that will be needed for work. It should be divided into four. Now add five more loops - three for balance and two more will be edging.
For this example, seventeen stitches are useful.
Note! Work on this pattern always starts from the wrong side. After the loops are typed, you need to turn the knitting needles to the opposite side.
Now re-shoot, without tying, the edge loop to the right knitting needle. Knit one at a time - front and back loops.
Note! You can choose for yourself how to knit loops - for the front wall or for the back. The craftswoman herself will eventually decide how she is most comfortable.
Now we need to knit three facial loops, one wrong side, another three facial, again one wrong side, again three facial, and one wrong side and facial. The row ends with one knitted reverse loop.
Now you can deploy the product to the front side. The edge loop is easy to retake without knitting.
Now you need to knit the wrong loops in the amount of three pieces and repeat the previous step - how to knit three loops from one. Only the edge loop remains on the knitting needles: it must be tied inside out. Now the canvas needs to be turned inside out, that is, on the other side. Reassemble the hem on the right knitting needle and do not knit.
After this, it is necessary to do a rapport like this: knit one front, three loops on the wrong side, the same number of loops, again three wrong, and the same number of faces, again three wrong and three facial, three wrong. Last - the edge loop must be tied with a wrong loop.
Knitted classic. The final stage
Now you need to deploy the product to the front side. Two loops are knitted together. Since one loop is inverted, it should again be turned and again returned to the spoke. It is necessary to knit together the front two loops, taking on the front wall. After - one facial and two together facial. Then - the wrong loop. And once again, knit two front faces together, one front and two together for the front wall. According to the figure, the next loop will be wrong. Two knit together the front, then - one front and two loops together, taken by the front wall.
Repeat this pattern until the row ends. According to the figure, you need to look where the wrong loops should be.
To be able to see the whole pattern completely (especially for beginner knitters), you need to knit at least four to five rapports in height.
