Knitting patterns from knit and purl loops. Patterns with descriptions for a blanket, scarf, hat. Photo

You can knit with knitting needles from front and back loops beautiful and simple patterns, which even a beginner can handle. Knitting is a method of interlacing threads that appeared many centuries ago and has not lost its popularity today.

It is known that knitted items were previously available only to very rich people, but with the advent of modern technologies, things created in this way became available to the common people. Historians have established that the first knitting has its roots in the Ancient East.

How to knit a front loop?

Patterns of knit and purl loops with knitting needles are popular among needlewomen all over the world. Such loops are the basis of knitting art, and beginners go through the process of creating them in their first lessons.

There are several ways to knit a face loop, popularly called "even": for the front and back wall. The first method is also called "classic" and is used by default in most patterns. When the face loop needs to be knitted for the back wall, the creators of the patterns stipulate this separately.

To get a classic facial you need:

1. Cast on several stitches onto the knitting needles.
2. Release the right needle so that all the loops and the leading thread remain on the left.
3. Next, insert an empty knitting needle into the loop from left to right, and, picking up the leading thread, pull it onto the empty knitting needle, leaving the eye of the base loop below.
4. After this, the knitted loop remains on the left knitting needle.

Having learned how to create classic knit stitches, you can knit beautiful fabrics or blankets.

The second method of obtaining a front loop, by knitting the thread through the back wall, is also called “granny’s”.

To create a knitting pattern like this, you need:

1. Cast on the required number of stitches onto the knitting needles.
2. Release the right needle, as it will be the leading one, and leave all the loops on the left one.
3. The thread for creating patterns also remains on the left index finger.
4. Next, the working needle is inserted into the knitted loop from right to left, and placed behind the left needle.
5. After this, use a free knitting needle to grab the leading thread and pull it through the loop.
6. The resulting loop is transferred to the left knitting needle, and the knitted one is released.

This knitting is denser than the classic version.

In printed patterns, knit stitches are indicated by an "x", "I" or a completely colored square. A fabric made from only knit stitches is called "satin stitch".

How to knit a purl stitch?

Patterns of knit and purl loops with knitting needles will help to create a product with a unique pattern. To knit masterpieces, in addition to knit ones, you need to learn how to make purl or odd ones. The creation of such loops also involves 2 methods: "classic" and "granny". They differ from each other in how the working thread is captured.

To get a classic purl stitch, you need:

1. Cast on the required number of stitches on the knitting needle.
2. Release the right needle, leaving the loops and leading yarn on the left.
3. Next, insert the right knitting needle into the loop from right to left, leaving the leading thread at the front of the knitting, and hook the leading thread counterclockwise.
4. After this, the resulting “ear” is pulled through the loop and placed on the right knitting needle.
5. At the last stage, the knitted thread is released into the pattern.

A product made from classic purl stitches is less dense.

To get a pattern of "granny" purl stitches, you need:

1. Cast on the required number of stitches.
2. Place the stitches and the leading thread on the left needle, leaving the right needle free.
3. Next, leaving the leading thread before knitting, insert the right knitting needle into the desired loop and, bringing the leading thread to it, pull it through the loop.
4. At the last stage, the resulting eye is placed on the right knitting needle, and the knitted one is removed into the pattern.

Purl stitches in knitting patterns are depicted as "-" or "Ո". Patterns made of only purl stitches are called "stocking" knitting.

Variants of simple beautiful patterns from knit and purl loops with knitting needles. Schemes and description

Patterns of purl and face loops with knitting needles form relief products. Classic fabrics are created by alternating them. Usually, knitting begins with faces on the first (and all odd) row and the second (and all even) - knit with purl.

Large loops are used to create scarves, hats, women's sweaters. In men's vests, sweaters and blankets, fine knitting is recommended. The volume of the product also depends on the thickness of the selected thread. Front and back "ears" are also used as a transition between other patterned compositions. For example, you can find front ones between braids or diamonds.

From a combination of simple “even” and “odd” loops we create:

• scales;
• diamonds;
• leaves;
• raspberries;
• blackberries;
• spiders;
• cones;
• asters;
• shadow patterns;
• arans;
• hearts.

By choosing the right threads and knitting needle thickness, even a novice needlewoman can create a beautiful item or accessory that will become a source of pride.

Scales

Patterns of knit and purl stitches with knitting needles are suitable for creating scarves or voluminous sweaters. The "Scales" pattern is popular.

To obtain a volumetric product, you need:

1. Cast on the required number of stitches on the knitting needles, for example, 10 (2 edge stitches and 8 main stitches).
2. At the next stage, row #1 must be knitted purlwise, removing the unknitted edge loop at the beginning of knitting. The row is closed by knitting the last edge loop also purlwise.
3. Row #2 begins with removing the edge stitch, after which a yarn over is made and the next stitch is knitted. The pattern rapport is repeated throughout the row. The last stitch is purl.
4. Row 3 begins with removing the edge stitch, after which the yarn over is dropped, knitting the next extended front loop.
5. In row 4, remove the edge stitch and knit the remaining 7 ears into one purl stitch.

By following the recommendations, you can get round scales.

Rhombuses

By alternating front and back stitches, you can create the "Rhombus" pattern. They can be of different heights, densities, and diameters. They can be made with yarn-over transitions or diagonally. The pattern is suitable for knitting sweaters, dresses, skirts, and blankets.

To get diamonds from even and odd loops, you need to:

1. Cast on the required number of stitches (for example, 22 together with the first edge stitch).
2. Row #1 begins with removing the edge stitch, followed by a knit stitch and 4 purl stitches. The rapport is repeated to the end.
3. Row No. 2 also begins with removing the first loop, after which all the front loops are knitted with purl loops and vice versa.
4. Row 3, after the edge, begins with 4 purl. Next come 1 even, 1 odd and 1 even loop. After that 7 purl, and again 1 front, 1 purl and 1 front. Finish the rapport with 4 purl.
5. The subsequent even rows are created using the classical method, as in row 2.
6. Row 5, after the edge, begins with 3 odd, followed by 1 even, 1 odd, 1 even, 1 odd and 1 even loops. Next come 5 purl, after which the rhombus pattern is repeated. Finish the row with 3 odd loops.
7. Row 7, after the edge, begins with 2 purl stitches, followed by a diamond pattern, namely 1 knit, 1 purl, 1 knit, 1 purl, 1 knit, 1 purl, 1 knit, 1 purl and 1 knit. Next come 3 odd ears. After this, the row rapport is repeated, finishing knitting with 2 purl stitches.
8. Row 9 is knitted like 5, and 11 like 3. And row 13 will completely repeat rapport 1.

Diamonds are a simple pattern that even a novice needlewoman can do.

Vertical strip of leaves

Using even and odd stitches, you can create a leaf pattern. To do this, you also need to understand how to make a yarn over or knit several stitches together with the required slope.

To get a vertical strip of leaves, you need:

1. Cast on 34 stitches (including the edge stitch) on the needles.
2. Next, the first row begins with removing the edge stitch, followed by a knit stitch and a yarn over. After this, knit 2 purl stitches and 4 knit stitches.

To knit a cone, you need:

1. Cast on 5 stitches.
2. Next, knit 2 rows in stocking stitch.
3. After this, to create a cone in the 3rd row, you need to make 5 loops from 1. To do this, insert the working needle from the front side behind the back wall of the ear and, grabbing the leading thread, knit 1 loop. After this, without removing the loop from the left needle, make a yarn over. In a similar way, create 4 more loops. Then the main loop is dropped into the pattern.
4. Rows 4 and 6 are knitted purlwise.
5. Row 5 is knitted.
6. In row 7, knit 5 loops together and the cone is ready.

The pattern is suitable for decorating hats, scarves, and blankets.

Asters

Using face and back loops, you can create a floral pattern "Astra" or "Daisy". The principle of obtaining flowers is the alternation of yarns, even and odd ears.

To decorate the product with daisies, you need:

1. Cast on 8 stitches onto the knitting needle.
2. Row 1 is knitted.
3. Row 2 consists of alternating purl stitches and yarn overs.
4. Row 3 begins with a knit stitch, after which the next 5 loops, having dropped the yarn over, are transferred to the right knitting needle, and from them, as from one, another 5 loops are knitted. The rapport is repeated.
5. Row 4 is created by alternating a yarn over and a purl stitch.
6. Row 5 continues with a knit stitch, after which the next 3 are removed to the working needle, and from them, as from one, 3 more are knitted. After this, 1 knit stitch follows, then 5 loops are transferred to the working needle, removing the yarn overs. At the next stage, these loops are returned to the left needle and from them, as from one, 5 are knitted. At the end of the row, knitting 3 as from one is done from 3 loops, and not from 5.
7. After this, rows 2 through 5 alternate.

At the beginning of the row, the edge stitch is always removed, and at the end, the last ear is knitted purlwise. The pattern is used to decorate cardigans, sweaters, and hats.

Shadow patterns

From a combination of simple loops, you can create so-called "Shadow patterns", where the picture is not immediately striking, but appears under certain lighting. By alternating front and back loops on the canvas, you can create any idea, from a square or a rhombus to a cat or a star.

To get a shadow picture, you need to adhere to several principles for creating such patterns:

Nuance	Advice
Drawing	Large geometric shapes or images with clear, smooth edges, without rounding
Yarn	Smooth thick threads without fuzz and lumps
Colors	You can use either a single-color or multi-colored material.
Knitting	for a voluminous double-sided pattern, knit the picture with purl stitches; To get a negative on the back side, knit the product according to the pattern.

Shadow patterns will help needlewomen to realize their most unexpected ideas in knitting.

Irish Arans

Having learned how to create cones and leaves, you can proceed to arans - strands intertwined on the canvas. Braids and honeycombs also belong to this variety, so having learned how to create interlacing, you can consider that you have mastered arans. You will need 3 knitting needles for knitting.

To create a simple aran you need:

1. Cast on 15 stitches.
2. Row 1 begins with 3 purl stitches, after which the next eye is transferred to an additional knitting needle behind the work. Then follow 2 knit stitches, after which the loop from the 3rd knitting needle is knitted as a purl stitch. After which 1 knit stitch and 2 loops are transferred to the 3rd knitting needle in front of the work. Next, 1 purl stitch and the loops from the 3rd knitting needle are knitted as faces. The pattern is completed with 3 purl stitches.
3. Even rows, starting from the second, are knitted according to the pattern.
4. Row 3 consists of 2 purl, after which 1 loop is transferred to the 3rd needle behind the work. After that, 2 front loops, the loop from the 3rd needle is turned into a back loop. Next come 1 front loop, 1 back loop, 1 front loop and 2 loops are transferred to the 3rd needle in front of the work, which are knitted with the front loop after 1 back loop. Next, 2 back loops.
5. The Aran pattern is repeated from rows 1 to 5.

Irish weave is used to decorate sweaters, cardigans, scarves and vests.

Hearts
