Many knitters call this openwork in a completely different way. Some people know it as “Fan”, others as “Waves”, while others are accustomed to the fact that it is openwork “Peacock tail” with knitting needles. By the way, the schemes of its execution may differ from each other, because there are so many completely different versions of this pattern.
If we turn to the classic version, the scheme will look like this.
A variety of patterns of openwork knitting patterns give a clear understanding of the fact that the “Peacock tail” is an unusually beautiful pattern. It belongs to the class of openwork drawings, so it is perfect for light summer things - tunics, blouses, bodices, shirts, dresses. But no less amazing it looks on cardigans, neat scarves, pullovers, wraps and other things.
For beginner knitters, it will be enough to master the classic front and back loops. It will not be superfluous to learn to knit loops with an inclination to the left or to the right.
Useful advice: if you knit a loop over the front wall, it will be tilted to the right, if for the back - then to the left. This is pretty easy.
Let's try to figure out how to knit peacock tail pattern with knitting needles. Schemes describing the two most common methods you will see below. You will have the opportunity to compare them and choose some to your liking.
The first way to knit. First to third rows
Pattern “Peacock tail” with knitting needles. Schemes describing this option will be given below. The lace that is connected in this way will be very gentle and, one might say, weightless.
The stole and shawl will be incomparable. “Peacock tail” with knitting needles (its scheme is simple) will enable these accessories to look elegant.
You just need yarn and knitting needles that fit in size.
Please note that, according to the rapport, the number of loops should be 17. In this total number of loops, the edge loops are usually not summed. Each "wave" in height captures four rows.
Getting started. On the needles you need to dial 17 loops + 2 hem.
First row. All loops are tied to the front wall of the front.
Pay special attention! We knit the first edge loop like this: just shoot it to the right knitting needle, not knit, and knit the last one with the wrong loop.
Second row. Knit all loops on the wrong side.
Third row. We begin to create a pattern. Remove the first loop, knit two on the wrong side, as one, repeat in the same way twice more. Then double crochet. Now we knit the front loop and make a crochet. Repeat five times.
Until the row finishes, we knit two more loops on the wrong side three more times. The last hem is sewn on the wrong side.
The first way to knit. From the fourth to the end
Now the product can be deployed and begin work on the next, fourth row. Without exception, all loops must be made purl.
Note! From the beginning of the fourth row, it is necessary to knit all even rows with purl loops. The same rule applies to nakida.
From the fifth row, all previous steps are repeated. It turns out pretty neat canvas, consisting of lace.
The second way to knit. First to fourth
Consider another simple method that you can choose to work on an interesting pattern “Peacock tail” with knitting needles. Schemes with a description will direct you in the right direction. This knitting method is similar to a sea wave: it is not as openwork as the previous one, but visually quite beautiful, light and elegant.
To make the pattern neat and beautiful, you should dial as many loops as it will be a multiple of 18.
In order to understand the pattern, prepare two rapports: we collect 36 loops + 2 hem.
The first four rows need to be knitted as a front surface.
The first and third rows are exclusively facial loops, and in the second and fourth rows are purl.
The second way to knit. From the fifth to the end
The turn of the fifth row has come. Here you need to very carefully count the loops and carefully knit the pattern.
Re-edge the loop, knit the next two together on the wrong side. It’s better to do it in the “grandmother's” way.
Repeat the simultaneous knitting of a pair of loops twice. The next action is facial and yarn, which are repeated five more times. As a result, we get six facial crochets.
Now the working thread should be in front of the canvas and knit three times in two loops in the wrong way.
At the end of the rapport should be 18 loops. It must be knitted until the row is over.
Sixth row - all loops are sewn on the wrong side. Even the crochets.
Useful advice: knit the crochets with purl loops, grasping the front wall.
The rapport of this pattern occupies six rows. To get a beautiful pattern, you need to knit it several times.
Since the edge is wavy, this pattern is ideal for skirts and dresses. For its execution, it is better to choose plain yarn.
