The pattern of the knitting knot, schematically has many varieties of knitting. It is performed by alternating front and back loops. This type of knitting is often called pearl or rice knitting, because the result looks like mother-of-pearl jewelry or grains of a cereal plant.

With the help of a correctly selected pattern, you can add effect and piquancy to any, even the most uncomplicated creation. The pattern Confusion with knitting needles, schematically is one of the simplest, and at the same time, the drawing is beautiful in execution.
The diagram of the small confusion looks like this:
The pattern is easy to follow, it is always important to remember about the edge loops: remove the first one without knitting, knit the last one purlwise.
Then knit:
1 row: knit alternately: 1 front, 1 back.
2nd row: change the direction of knitting: knit purl stitches over the front loops and vice versa.
You don't even have to look at the diagram, analyze the product, and continue working until the desired dimensions. When performing a small tangle, it is impossible to get confused, it is better to learn to knit various patterns from it.
Pattern Confusion knitting in a circle
The Confusion pattern with knitting needles, the diagram of which is suitable for execution in a circle, used in the manufacture of socks, mittens and some other products.
The use of circular knitting has a special feature - in order not to get confused in the shifting of the pattern, the number of loops on the knitting needles should be odd. This small nuance will help to knit the necessary loops, looking at the work.
The pattern and its execution are the same as in the previous description, only when working in a circle, the edge loops are not knitted:
When using a large tangle, the fabric becomes more embossed, the pattern looks like oblong pebbles or grains, That's why it's called rice pattern.
The principle of this work is similar to the previous one, the only difference is that you need to shift the pattern through a row. The fabric is double-sided, so it is better to mark the front side with something. A pin or a contrasting thread will come in handy.
The scheme is very simple:
1st row: knit 1 knit, 1 purl to the end
2nd row: according to the pattern
3rd row: shift one loop: knit over purl, and vice versa
4th row: according to the pattern
Next you need to continue working, repeating 4 rows.
To make large rice, odd loops are cast on with circular knitting needles.
The diagram and the principle of its execution are similar to the previous description, without edge loops. It is imperative to leave a noticeable mark at the beginning of the work so as not to get confused with the shift, and the work will go more smoothly.
The rice pattern can be done in other ways. You can use larger elastic bands with alternation through 2 or 3 loops. The movement of the pattern is also done at your discretion: either in each or through a row. The result will be a different canvas.
Double-sided elastic band
Sometimes it is important that the knitting on the front and back looks the same. In this case, a good alternative would be to use pearl elastic. The result is a durable, soft and elastic creation. It is easy to stretch, but the shape is preserved. This pattern is great for knitting various items, such as scarves, snoods or hoods.
To make it, a regular elastic band and a tangled pattern are combined. It looks the same from the front side for knitting straight, turning rows and circular needles. The pattern is read taking into account the knitting method.
Description of the circuit implementation:
Knit what is inside the stars to the end of the row, not forgetting about the edge loops.
1st r: *k2, p3*
2nd row: * P1, K1 *
Continue to the desired size, repeating the pattern of two rows.
When working with circular knitting needles, the same pattern is used, only the second row is started with a front loop.
Pearl pattern with intertwined loops.

Meanings of symbols:
I – facial;
— – purl;
| — | — intertwined loops

The work continues with a rapport of 3 rows.
Pattern "Putanka with a yarn over"
The additional threads thrown over the knitting needle give the tangles, or pearl patterns, splendor. There are many versions of performing work with yarn overs. For example, the honeycomb pattern, which is basic for knitting many things.
The fabric knitted with honeycombs with small cells is very similar to a rice pattern.
Description of working with the scheme:
As an axiom for making the outer loops: at the beginning of the work, remove the first one without knitting, knit the last one purlwise to align the edge of the fabric. What is inside the stars should be done until the end of the row.
Then:
- 1st row: * 1purl, 1k*
- 2 row: * Remove 1 loop without knitting, leaving the yarn at the back of the work, throw on an additional thread, 1 front. *
- 3rd row: * 1 knit, remove yarn over without knitting, thread at the back of the fabric, 1 knit. *
- 4 rows: * 1 purl, remove from yourself, yarn in front of work, 1 purl. *
- Row 5: * knit 2 loops together as if to knit, 1 purl. *
- Row 6: *yarn over, slip 1 stitch, purl 1.*
- 7th row: * 2 persons., remove yarn over knitted, yarn behind work*
- 8th row: * yarn over is removed away from you, thread in front of work, 2 purl.*
- Row 9: *1 out., 2 loops are knitted as 1 front.*
The further creation is repeated from the 2nd to the 9th rows.

Description:
To complete the pattern, the required number of loops must be even. Then, what is inside the stars must be knitted to the end of the row, making sure to make edge loops.
- 1st row: in turn: 1 front, 1 back.
- 2nd row: *1 knit, slip 1 purl*
- 3rd row: * yarn over and slipped stitch knit together, 1 purl.*
- 4th row: like the second.
The work is repeated until the desired length is reached.
This pattern can be done with circular needles. The working algorithm is the same, an even number of loops, no edge loops:
- *1 knit, 1 purl*
- *thrown yarn over, 1 move, 1 purl*
- * yarn over and slipped stitch are knitted, 1 purl*.
Continue the pattern until the required fabric size is reached from the second row.
