Braid with knitting needles. Scheme, how to knit for beginners

Content

At the initial mastering the art of knitting You can try to work on the technique of creating a braid pattern using knitting needles. Below you can see simple, detailed diagrams and descriptions of how to make a pattern on any clothing step by step.

Necessary tools and materials

A braid with knitting needles (not only experienced but also beginner craftswomen can knit) can be created from 2, 3, 6 or more loops. In this case, each pattern will be different, which allows you to create different patterns on knitted items.

To create the ornament, you will need additional knitting needles, pins, and thread material. These tools and materials include the following:

What you will need	Peculiarities
Special knitting needle	The tool in the center should be slightly curved. With such a knitting needle, it is permissible to easily knit a braid and strands. However, the additional tool, unlike the main one, should be smaller in size so that the pattern has a neat appearance. In the absence of a special knitting needle, it is permissible to use a pin intended for knitting.
Yarn	The thread material can be of any shade. The main thing is that the yarn is of high quality and durable.

Schemes with description of works for beginners

The braid with knitting needles (it is recommended to knit the pattern with strict adherence to the diagrams) is considered a universal pattern, the use of which is possible in the creation of the following adult and children's clothing:

jumper, pullover, sweater;
coat, jacket, vest;
dress, cardigan, sweater;
bedspread, blanket;
snood, scarf, hat.

When creating a pattern, it is necessary to move the loops to the right or left side, in rare cases directly from the middle to the side. Braids knitted with a knitting needle will be obtained by alternately placing the elements in one and the other direction. However, it is also permissible only in one. Knitting using complex weaves is called creating harnesses, but the principle of work will be similar.

Knitting a braid with knitting needles is considered a painstaking process that requires accuracy and attention, but does not require the use of complex technological techniques. The patterns will be one-sided, so they are easy to knit in a circle and with a turn of the product.

To knit a pattern using knitting needles, you can choose the following types of braids:

with openwork;
with division in the center of the pattern by purl elements;
with complex interlacing of some groups of holes in the form of a "basket" pattern;
wide or narrow from the front elements on the outside.

It is permissible to knit the products completely with a braid pattern. For this, the patterns must be placed on the purl surface so that the knitting has a more pronounced relief.

Knitting a braid pattern goes well with the following types of knitting:

with stripes of elongated front elements on a reverse background, arranged vertically;
with a diamond;
with other braids of varying complexity;
with small uniform ornaments in the form of confusion.

The work on the design of the braids will be carried out equally easily from the bottom up and from the neck down. At the same time, there are no restrictions that concern the thread material and its shade.

Simple braid

Beginners are advised to first familiarize themselves with the technique of creating a simple braid. For this pattern, it is recommended to replace the auxiliary knitting needles with a regular pin to make it easier to work.

Step by step instructions:

Make a pattern of 8 elements. For the sample, dial 14 holes, where 12 elements will be for the braid and frame, 2 - edge.
For 1 row, cast on 2 purl, 8 knit and 2 purl elements.
Rows 2-4 knit as the knitting looks. Knit the front loops over the front loops, and the back loops over the back loops.
For the 5th row, cast on 2 purl holes, transfer 4 elements without knitting to an auxiliary knitting needle, leaving them in front of the fabric. Make the next 4 face holes. During knitting, there should not be a large drawthrough between the loops. Transfer 4 elements from the auxiliary tool to the left knitting needle, knitting them as faces. As a result, the loops should cross with a slope to the left side.
Do similar manipulations for the remaining rows.

From 6 loops

A braid with knitting needles (the ornament must be knitted on a stocking stitch, so that it has a brighter appearance) can be created from 6 elements. This pattern is also called 3 by 3. It must be knitted as a pattern of 4 holes, but it is necessary to shift not 2, but 3 loops.

Step by step instructions:

For the sample, make a number of holes that will equal 6. Make several elements on the sides of the pattern so that it is easier to see.
Knit rows 1 and 3 with knit stitches.
2, 4 and 6 rows are created from purl holes.
For row 5, slip 3 element onto an additional knitting needle in front of the fabric. Make 3 front holes by knitting 3 front elements from the additional tool.

Volumetric pattern

A voluminous pattern of braids knitted with knitting needles will look impressive and beautiful on any clothes.

Secrets for Beginners

Secrets of knitting for beginners:

To create a certain width of the braid, it is recommended to select yarn that will match the selected parameters of the pattern. For example, if the pattern is wide, the thread material should be thick and fluffy. To create a thinner pattern, it is preferable to choose cotton yarn.
When knitting such a pattern, it should be taken into account that the product will narrow upon completion of the work. In this regard, this feature must be taken into account when purchasing yarn and counting loops.
The pattern will always have only 2 directions. The auxiliary knitting tool is used to correct this pattern. If the braid is placed at the back, the tool should be directed to the right. If the pattern is at the front, then the knitting needle should be directed to the left.
Sometimes it is not possible to purchase the exact thread model that was used in the pattern, but the length of the yarn should always correspond to the size of the thread material that was indicated in the instructions.
It is recommended to initially knit a sample measuring 10x10 cm. On a cardboard template in the center, it is necessary to make a square window measuring 10x10 cm. After 2 parts can be connected together to make it easier to count the number of rows and loops.

The braid is considered a good idea for any knitted clothing. This pattern is universal, so it is suitable for women, men and children. At the same time, there are many varieties of the pattern, which allows you to choose the ornament that you like best. The braid with harnesses is ideal for knitted models in the form of pants, vests, booties, dresses, sweaters, mittens, cardigans, scarves, sweaters and hats.
