Knitting pattern mesh. Schemes and description, photos for beginners

The description and diagrams of the mesh pattern give needlewomen the opportunity to make various beautiful knitted items. Due to the large variety of variations, this ornament can be used to create warm and summer clothing. The knitting process is simple and will be understandable not only to experienced but also to novice craftswomen. The pattern is suitable for decorating a jumper, scarf or hat.

Where to start

The mesh ornament originated many centuries ago. In the past, craftsmen used a large needle to decorate things with holes. The technique of knitting with 2 needles appeared later, and initially this work was done by men. Today, there are a large number of mesh pattern options.

The following are considered to be in wide demand:

• openwork;
• boucle;
• in the form of grapes;
• in the form of cones;
• waves;
• large.

The knitting techniques listed above make it possible to create beautiful and fashionable clothes with a stylish pattern. The mesh pattern will also look impressive in a variety of colors. Beginners are advised to initially try knitting a simple mesh pattern.

In this case it is necessary:

1. Collect the optimal number of elements.
2. 1 row consists of front elements.
3. To create 2 rows, make 2 front loops together with a tilt to the right, make 2 yarn overs with 2 front elements together, while making a tilt to the left.
4. When making the 3rd row, repeat the pattern: 2 front, purl and front elements.
5. To create the 4th row, alternate after the edge a yarn over with 2 front loops with a left bias, 2 front elements together with a right bias. At the end, make a yarn over.
6. Row 5 consists of a front and 3 back elements.
7. Row 6 is similar to row 2.
8. In the future, when creating a product, repeat the steps with the thread material in order.

The mesh knitting pattern (diagrams and descriptions are provided for informational purposes) is suitable for decorating women's and men's products, as well as children's items.

For work it is recommended to prepare:

• knitting needles;
• sewing needle;
• thread material;
• scissors;
• plastic beacons for creating marks.

The choice of yarn affects the appearance of future clothing and how the item will look on the figure. Warm material is more suitable for demi-season and winter products, non-warming threads - for summer options.

To create winter clothing with a mesh pattern, it is recommended to choose:

• alpaca;
• cashmere;
• merino;
• mohair;
• wool yarn.

The listed materials are environmentally friendly because the wool and down of rams, sheep, goats and llamas are used to create the yarn. Some varieties are rarely found in their pure form because such threads will be expensive and will make it difficult to interact with the material.

To fill the market with affordable yarn, natural fiber is mixed with acrylic or other artificial material. Due to this, the cost of yarn decreases, while the material becomes more elastic, strong and wear-resistant.

For knitting summer clothes it is advisable to choose:

• bamboo;
• flax;
• cotton;
• silk.

The specified threads are characterized by natural origin, therefore, in knitted clothes the skin will be protected from direct sunlight and will breathe. At the same time, the yarn has hypoallergenic properties.

Required tools:

Name	What are they needed for?
Beacons	For the design of seamless or complex items, it is advisable to use special beacons, with the help of which it is permissible to highlight the necessary element, side of the product or loops. At the same time, such a device helps to separate the required number of loops for the ornament, as well as to designate a row of rapport.
Scissors	Required for cutting thread material. For this, the tool must have sharpened blades so that the yarn can be cut the first time.
Spokes	For work, it is recommended to take knitting needles that will match the diameter of the yarn. Often, on the packaging with a skein, manufacturers write the size of the needles required for knitting the purchased threads. The tool can be separate and circular. The first is used to create clothing in separate fragments, the second - to design a seamless product.
Sewing needle	Allows you to assemble complex things. The seams will be almost invisible or completely hidden.

Tips for Beginners

The mesh pattern has been popular among craftswomen for a long time. Beginning needlewomen are recommended to initially try knitting simple models to master the pattern scheme, so that they know how to make yarn over, purl and face elements. At the same time, you need to know what to do with the initial and extreme edge elements.

A mesh pattern can be made by twisting elements or thickening columns when adding new loops. Also, to achieve the desired effect, you can design front or back elements together. In this case, the loops must be transferred from one knitting needle to another in an unknitted state or swapped to achieve the desired result.

To obtain a mesh pattern, it is permissible to make double yarns. This requires throwing the working material twice on the knitting needle in a certain area.

Large mesh

The mesh pattern with knitting needles (the patterns and description of the work are simple, so they are suitable for beginner craftswomen) can be made in the form of large holes. This type of ornament is suitable for decorating a thin vest or jacket. The main columns will be thickened, the horizontal jumpers will be thin.

Operating algorithm:

1. Cast on the required number of loops, which will be evenly divisible by 3.
2. To create 1 row after the edge, make a yarn over and alternate 3 together knit stitches with a double yarn over. At the end of the line, to the edge, make a yarn over.
3. When making 2 lines after the edge, make a yarn over and 3 together purl with a double yarn over. After finishing the line before the edge, create a yarn over element.
4. Then perform the same actions as in rows 1 and 2 for the desired length of the product.

The pattern with large holes is combined with warm winter and light summer materials.

Fillet net

The mesh filet pattern with knitting needles allows you to knit summer and children's clothes. The diagram with a description of the knitting technique is easy to understand, so it is suitable for beginner craftswomen. For work, it is recommended to use viscose, cotton, linen or mixed material from these threads. In this case, the yarn should be smooth. Due to this, the clothes will have a beautiful appearance, even after numerous washes.

Step by step instructions:

1. Row 1 consists of a knit and yarn over element, 3 knit stitches together and a yarn over.
2. When making the 2nd and other even rows, the loops must be purl.
3. Row 3 is done in the same way as row 1.

Volumetric

The mesh pattern with knitting needles (diagrams and description of works will allow you to create beautiful things) can be made in the form of a volumetric weave, creating a 3D effect. In this case, the knitted product will be even and without skewed areas. The ornament can be made in a circle or in rotary rows.

Step-by-step description of the technique of knitting with turning rows:

1. The initial line should be a preparatory line, so all elements will be purl.
2. Row 1 consists of 2 loops together knitwise. Then return the element to the left knitting needle and knit. Make a yarn over from yourself.
3. For the 2nd row, purl all elements.
4. In the 3rd row, all elements must be knit.
5. Row 4 consists of purl stitches.

Algorithm for working in a circle:

1. Make a preparatory line consisting of front loops.
2. In row 1, knit 2 together knit elements. Return the element to the left knitting needle and make a knit loop. When finished, make a yarn over from yourself.
3. From rows 2 to 4, knit all elements.

With a loop

The mesh ornament can be made with a loop. The scheme is simple and does not require the design of complex elements.

Step by step description:

1. Cast on a number of stitches that is divisible by 4 without remainder. Add 2 edge elements.
2. In row 1, carefully remove the edge from the knitting needle and make 2 together front elements. Make 2 yarn overs with 2 front elements that are tilted to the left. Continue working until the end of the product and make the edge with purl elements.
3. The 2nd row consists of purl loops.
4. To create the 3rd line, remove the edge from the knitting tool and place the thread on the needle.
5. Knit 2 knit elements with a leftward slope, 2 together knit elements and yarn over the material onto the tool. Continue working until the end of the product, making the edge with purl elements.
6. Design the purl rows as in row 2. The front rows should correspond to rows 1 and 3.

Boucle

The mesh pattern can be made in the Boucle style. As a result, the pattern will resemble strawberry honeycombs.

Step by step instructions:

1. Find a number of elements that is divisible by 3 without remainder.
2. To create 1 line, alternate 1 front and 2 back elements.
3. When making 2 rows, make 2 front and purl loops in turn.
4. In the 3rd row, design by alternating 2 together purl elements with yarn over and purl loops.
5. In the 4th row, alternate the front and back elements.
6. In the 5th row, repeat the front, back and front elements.
7. Row 6 is similar to row 4.
8. In the 7th row, alternately knit a yarn over with a purl and 2 together purl elements.
9. Line 8 consists of the same elements as line 2.
10. Line 9 will be identical to line 1.
11. When creating a product, knit row by row from row 1 to row 8.

Wavy pattern

The mesh pattern with knitting needles (diagrams and descriptions allow you to knit clothes for both people and toys) can be created in the form of waves. This knitting technique is suitable for decorating summer and winter products.

Step by step description:

1. Dial the required number of elements.
2. In 1 row, alternate 2 front and 2 back elements.
3. 2 row includes 2 together knits, knit, purl and 2 together knits.
4. In the 3rd row, alternate the yarn over with 4 knit stitches.
5. In the 4th row, repeat the pattern: purl, 2 together knit (do it twice) and knit elements.

Along the entire length of the product, knitting should be done from rows 1 to 4. As a result, the mesh pattern will be small.

Diagonal

The diagonal mesh pattern is easy to make and has a beautiful relief, which allows you to create openwork products. The pattern is suitable for decorating voluminous clothing in the form of a jacket, coat, sweater and cardigan. The pattern also looks great on small fragments, for example, on the collar, pockets and cuff.

Algorithm for working with rotary rows:

1. The pattern repeat consists of 7 elements and 4 lines.
2. Cast on a number of loops that is divisible by 7 without a remainder. Make 2 edges.
3. In row 1, make a drawthrough of 2 front elements with a yarn over. Form the front element and again make a drawthrough of 2 front elements with a yarn over.
4. Rows 2 and 4 consist of purl elements.
5. In the 3rd row, knit 2 front elements and make a draw through of 2 front elements with a yarn over. Additionally, make 2 front loops.

If the knitting process is to take place on circular tools, even stitches must be decorated with face elements.

Secrets for Beginners

Secrets for Beginners:

• If you are knitting on old material that does not have information about the size of the knitting needles, you should make a hole in the thick paper with the sharp end of the knitting needle. Then you need to pass the yarn through the resulting hole. If the thread passes freely, without sagging, slipping or catching, the diameter of the tool corresponds to the thickness of the material.
• Knitting needles should not be too blunt or sharpened. In the first case, it will be uncomfortable to fix and knit the yarn in the loops, in the second case, it is permissible to injure your fingers. If the knitting needles are blunt, it is recommended to buy a new tool or take it to a workshop for sharpening.
  
• When choosing a circular tool, the area where it meets the line must be smooth, otherwise the material will constantly catch on this area and tear.
• To knit quality clothes, you need to buy the appropriate yarn. In this case, it is recommended to pay attention to the homogeneity of the material. To determine the parameter, you should look at the free edge that peeks out from under the skein. You should refuse to buy threads if the structure is not uniform, the fiber narrows or thickens in different areas. Unevenness in the thickness of the yarn will have a bad effect on the condition of the product. Due to heterogeneity, the fibers can break. In this case, the knitted clothes will have an unsightly appearance.
• When knitting, you need to pay attention to how the material stretches and returns to shape. To do this, you can pull the free edge of the yarn and immediately release it. Then you should consider how quickly the thread will take its original shape.
• If the knitted item will come into contact with the facial area or other sensitive areas of the skin during wearing, it is recommended to check the reaction of these areas to the material. To do this, apply the yarn to the open area for a few seconds. Then you need to look at the skin reaction. If redness appears, it is not advisable to buy this type of thread.
• Before purchasing, you should smell the skein of threads. If you feel a sharp or chemical smell, you should not take the material, because it does not contain natural components. Such threads contain toxic substances that can provoke health problems.
• When purchasing yarn, you need to hold the material in your hands to feel the fiber tactilely. Through such manipulations, you can determine how pleasant the future product will be to the skin. Additionally, you need to squeeze the skein of threads in your hands to determine how springy the material is.
• The ability to accumulate static electricity is considered an important component of any product, especially winter. To determine this parameter, rub the free edge of the yarn with your fingers. If the thread fibers have fluffed up and gone beyond the border, such material should not be taken. In this case, the clothes will very quickly become covered with pellets.

Thanks to the patterns and description of the mesh pattern, beginners and experienced craftswomen are able to create various beautiful things that are suitable for everyday wear and for going out. Following this knitting technique with knitting needles, you can also make things for pets and toys.
