Knitting in the style of enterlak with knitting needles for beginners step by step. Models, schemes

Content

It is possible to knit a large number of different patterns with knitting needles.If this process is combined with the entrelac knitting style, then you can create many unique knitwear items with an unusual texture.

The designs in the Enterlak technique are made from an interweaving of clear figures in the form of stripes, triangles, diamonds and squares.

What is enterlak knitting style

Knitting in the style of enterlak with knitting needles allows you to use both single-color and multi-colored thread material. If you create a square weave from the same yarn, you can make a full-fledged pattern in the form of a chocolate diagonal bar.

The Enterlac technique does not require breaking the thread material during the work. As needed, the element can be unraveled and re-knitted.

Features of knitting using the enterlak technique:

Parameters	Nuances
Decor	If desired, you can additionally create leaves or braids.
Products	In this style you can design a sweater, dress, hat, socks, scarf, as well as bags and decorative interior items.
Knitting direction	The canvas should be designed horizontally, vertically or diagonally.
Weave size	The weave can be small or consist of wide large stripes. The size will depend on the pattern rapport.
Types of knitting	Knitting in this style allows you to combine pearl stitch with garter stitch and stockinette stitch.

How to knit a sweater

It is acceptable to knit a warm sweater in the enterlak style. Beginners should start this work after fully mastering the technique. The work consists of several stages.

First you need to do before:

Knit 104 elements, making 5 cm with a 1x1 elastic band. After that, the fabric can be made in the enterlak style. As a result, 10 triangular figures should come out, therefore, when picking up patterns, decrease the loops in the same way.
The basic stitch consists of triangles, 8 loops wide.
For 1 purl stitch, create 2 purl elements and turn the fabric over.
In the 2nd row, make 2 front loops and turn the product over again.
In the 3rd row, perform 3 purl elements and turn the fabric over.
In each purl row, add 1 element so that there are 8 loops left on the tool.
Leave the elements of figure 1 on the right needle and start again with row 1 to create the second figure.
Follow the pattern to get 10 figures.

Creating a right edge triangle:

This figure will serve as a base for stitching rectangles, so prepare white threads with lurex for work.
On the front side, for 1 line, make 2 front elements and unfold the fabric.
In the 2nd row, knit 2 purl loops and turn the work.
In the 3rd row, knit the front element for the back and front walls of the loop. Make a decrease of 1 element with a left bias. Turn the fabric over.
4th row consists of purl elements. Then turn the fabric over.
Make row 5 in the same way as row 3, so that 1 figure element remains. Make a decrease with a left bias and turn the work.
Repeat rows 4 and 5 several times to knit all the elements of the lower figure. Do not unfold the fabric until row 5 is completed.

Rectangle design:

From the edge of the triangle, lift 6 elements from the side.
On the front side, in row 1, make the front elements and unfold the fabric.
The 2nd row consists of purl elements. Turn the work.
In the 3rd row, all elements up to the outer loop should be knit. Knit the outer element with 1 loop of the base of the new figure together and turn the fabric.
Repeat rows 2 and 3 so that 8 elements of the figure are knitted.
To create a rectangle, start with row 1. Knit the entire row in the same way.

Creating a left edge triangle:

Finish the row of rectangles with a side triangular pattern.
On the front side, 1 row consists of 8 elements, collected from the base of the outer triangle. Unfold the fabric.
In the 2nd row, make purl elements, decreasing at the end of the row by 1 element. Knit together 2 purl loops and turn the work.
Make the 3rd row from the front loops and turn the fabric over.
Knit 2-3 rows in the same way, so that 1 element remains. Tie the thread and cut.

Decorating the rectangles on the reverse side with lilac yarn with lurex:

In the 1st row, moving down the side of the triangle, pick up from the base of the figure and insert the yarn into the base of the first figure and pick up 8 elements. In the row from the wrong side, knit the outer 2 loops together. In the front row, knit the outer element together with the element of the new figure.
Repeat the process along 2 rectangles, filling the gaps with triangles. Then create 3 rectangles.
Make 2 rows of rectangles, closing with triangles and knitting with shortened rows.
There should be 24 elements left on each side of the instrument.
To slant the shoulders, leave 8 elements unknitted at the end of the purl stitch on the right and turn the fabric over. Yarn over and knit a row of face loops. Repeat this step twice, closing the elements and knitting the yarn overs together with the next element.
On the left side of the front line, the elements should be unknitted. At the end, make throws together with the next loop.

Creating the back:

Make 104 elements and knit with a 5 cm elastic band. The stitch should be front to the armhole.
Then close 8 elements on each side, continuing knitting with garter stitch.
There should be 88 loops on the knitting needle. Make a bevel and close the shoulder elements. Do not close the 40 loops in the center.

Knitting sleeves and gathering:

Make 48 elements and a 1x1 elastic band of 6 cm.
When making the front surface, add 1 loop on each side in every 8th row.
After creating the shoulder seams, sew in the sleeves.
To make a collar, cast on 100 elements along the neckline and knit with a 1x1 elastic band for 14 cm.
Then close the loops according to the pattern.

Dress

Knitting in the style of enterlak with knitting needles allows you to create a beautiful and warm dress. To do this, you need to prepare a 2.5 mm tool and thread material of any shade. If the clothing size is 42, you need to create identical squares by parameters for 22 loops.

The elements must be cast on with waste yarn, and for lifting you need to use a chain that was crocheted. The edges of the product should not be pulled together.

For knitting you need red, lilac, green, pink and yellow threads. Using waste yarn, you initially need to make 88 air elements to create a braid.

Afterwards, you need to knit the first triangular patterns according to the diagram:

Along the outline of the last red triangle, dial 22 elements to create a row of green squares.
The second green square is cast on along the contour of the first one in a similar color. Create a raglan stripe.
After completing the row of green squares, create 22 loops to form the yellow squares.
From another skein of yarn, using other short size knitting needles, create 2 squares for the undercut, starting with the waste yarn. The edge stitch should remain open on the tools.
Make a chain from 22 air elements using waste yarn. The chain is the beginning of a new row of pink squares. Match these figures with the ornaments of the previous shade.
Using waste thread material, cast on 22 elements to decorate the lilac squares.
Close the work into a ring. Knit according to a similar pattern until the desired length is reached.
Finish the fabric with a 1x1 elastic band. Create the front loops crossed on similar tools.
To create sleeves, remove waste yarn. Each row should have 3 squares. To slightly narrow the sleeves, reduce the number of loops in each figure.
The first 2 lines should consist of 22 elements. Then dial 21 elements per square.
In the following lines, the number of loops should be reduced by 1. When 17 elements are knitted, make a 1x1 elastic band.
Depending on the neckline, transfer all elements from the waste thread material to knitting needles. In the rows where the triangles are, cast on 22 loops for each figure.
Knit an elastic band.
After closing the elements, overlap the elastic corners in the chest area.

Cap

It is acceptable to knit a hat in the enterlak style. In this case, the fabric should be knitted with knitting needles from top to bottom towards the elastic band.

Step-by-step description of the work:

Using stockinette stitch, create a rectangle so that the number of stitches is twice as many as the number of loops in the cast-on stitch.
From the edge elements that are located on the side, cast on loops relative to the rapport sizes. Create an additional 1 rectangle. Perform this step three times in the same way to form 5 figures twisted in a spiral.
From the edge of figure 1, make elements for a new rectangle that will connect it.
After the edge of the figure, 2 lines of stitching are used to create the elements for the new pattern.
Continue working until the distance between the edge of the circle and the central area reaches the desired size.
The outer tier should be designed in the form of triangles.
Finish the work with an elastic band of the required size. Additionally, you can make a lapel.

Socks

Knitting in the style of enterlak with knitting needles allows you to create warm socks for wearing in the winter season. In this case, you need to start working from the toe. To do this, you need to cast on 5 loops on each knitting needle.

Afterwards it is necessary:

Remove the first element and knit the last one according to the pattern. Decorate the front part of the product with front loops, the back part with back elements.
Knit 9 rows in the same way. Count the number of rows by the edge elements, the number of which should be equal to 5.
When adding thread material of a different shade, pick up the edge elements from the outer area.
To include yarn of a different color, knit the material to the original shade. Knit in a circle, alternating lines.
When shaping the back side, discard the first element and throw the thread material forward.
When creating the front part of the fabric, remove the first loop, but do not throw the yarn over.
Using a thread of a different shade, make 9 lines. There should be 5 outer elements.
Afterwards, create loops to form a new strip. To do this, take the original color of the yarn.
Cast on loops of a different color again. Join stripes of different colors together on the right side.
Knit 2 additional elements.
When knitting in a different tone, constantly throw off the outer element. As a result, you can get a woven product of different shades.

Rug

To knit a warm and voluminous fabric, you need to use thick thread material. The product will consist of multi-colored wide stripes that will alternate with each other in the pattern.

Step-by-step process of creating a rug with knitting needles:

Initially, dial 60 elements. In 1 row, create 59 elements. Leave the outer 60th loop without knitting on the tool.
When creating 1 row, there will be 60 loops of 1 row on the knitting needle. Remove 59 element and knit the remaining 58 loops.
In the 3rd row, knit 57 elements. Keep the 58th loop without knitting. As a result, there should be 3 elements left.
In the 4th row there should be 3 loops on the knitting tool. Remove the next one and knit the remaining ones.
Knit 1 less element every other line to form a triangle, along the diagonal of which there will be 60 unknitted loops.
After 60 unclosed elements, knit and at the end of the line, increase by 1 loop.
In the new row, knit 60 elements, and leave the last one without knitting.
When creating a new line, add 1 more element at the end.
When the number of unknitted elements reaches 30, make a decrease on the side where the increase was made. To do this, close 1 element at a time so that there are no unnecessary holes in the future.
Decreases are made on each side so that only 1 element remains. To do this, close the loops on one side and not on the other.
Then knit 60 open elements on the side where the decrease was made. Knit as the first figure, decreasing the loops on the side where there are 30 closed elements.

Plaid

Knitting in the enterlak style with knitting needles allows you to create a blanket that can be used to cover an armchair, sofa or bed.

Step-by-step process of creating a product:

Use a thread material of one shade to create a certain number of loops. For example, to make the width of the fabric equal to 40 cm, 20 elements will be enough. The size of the knitting tool should be 0.5 mm.
1 row, make face loops. Then turn the fabric and knit geometric figures in the form of a triangle.
To do this, create 2 purl elements and turn the product over to the other side again.
Knit 2 front loops and turn the fabric over again.
And from 1 purl knit 2 purl elements. Make the second loop purl and turn the product again.
Knit 3 front elements, then turn the fabric over.
Continue knitting according to the given pattern until there are 7 front elements left on the knitting tool.
Close these loops with purl stitches so that only the first 2 elements remain. Then you can move on to line 1.
From the next 2 purl elements, gradually knit 7 elements for a new figure.
The result should be geometric figures consisting of 7 loops each. After completing 1 row, the number of triangles should be 14. However, the number of loops should not be changed.
Turn the fabric inside out to insert thread material of a different shade.
After that, knit 2 loops from 1 purl element. The next element should be purl. Turn the fabric over and knit 3 front loops.
Continue working until there are 7 elements left on the tool. Close these loops to 2 elements and move on to the 3rd element of a similar line.
After knitting all the geometric figures, turn the fabric over to the other side to get rid of the yarn of a different shade and do the work again in the same way.
Finish the product to the optimal size and close with simple purl elements along the contour.

Having mastered the technique of knitting in the style of enterlak, it is permissible to diversify your own wardrobe with practical and beautiful things. At the same time, you can knit not only clothes with knitting needles, but also home items in the form of a blanket, a rug. Not only experienced, but also novice craftsmen can cope with such a technique.
