Pattern "diamond" knitting needles: patterns and description

The rhombus is the most common geometrica figure whose different interpretations are constantly used in various knitting techniques, especially in making knitted fabrics with knitting needles. Today we will get acquainted with samples of knitted patterns, the basis for drawing which are so beloved by all diamonds.

Varieties of receptions

In order to learn how to tie a diamond with knitting needles, we will understand the peculiarities of knitting knitted fabrics.

All patterns on the technique of execution are divided into several groups:

• on the basis of the front and back loops;

• Fidelity;

• with the displacement and the movement of loops;

• Combined patterns that use all of the above styles.

Instruments

Knitting needles must match the thicknessselected yarn. A thin thread (450-500 meters in a 100-gram skein) will look the most advantageous if the canvas is connected with rather thin knitting needles (No. 1.5-2). The spokes No. 2.5-3 are ideal for medium yarn (250-300 m / 100 g), No. 3.5-4 for thick yarn (150-230 m / 100 g). The exception is only knitted thicker spokes weightless shawls and stoles of very fine yarn, for example, kid-mohair (230 meters in a twenty-five gram skein). They are effective, because they assume a strong stretching of the canvas and drying it in this state. But back to the pattern of "rhombus" knitting needles.

Schemes and the description of the order of work are both simple and complex, but they will require not only the correct selection of tools, but also a very careful attitude to the process of knitting.

Patterns on the front or the back of the head

Performed from the front and back loops,drawings refer to the simplest patterns. They consist of all possible combinations of these loops, creating a variety of patterns of "rhombus" with spokes. Schemes of these patterns, as, for example, in the presented photo, are almost primitive, but the knitted fabric executed on them looks quite impressive.

To link the pattern you like, you need to learnUse diagrams that graphically designate the process of knitting. This pattern is read from below upwards. The numbers below the bottom line of the scheme, or the colored selection of the fragment, denote the loop of the rapport of the pattern, i.e. the repeating part of the pattern. The numbers to the right of the schematic record indicate the numbers of the front rows. If the back rows are tied, repeating the pattern, then in the schemes they are not indicated. The edge loops never enter either the drawing or its graphic representation. The designations of loops in the scheme of our example are: horizontal line - purl, vertical - front. A schematic image makes it easy to understand how to tie a diamond with spokes. The executed pattern in the technique of tying the face loops on the inside surface - "inclined diamonds", is simple and perfectly looks in different knitwear.

Calculation of loops for a set

In order not to be mistaken with the size of the future product,you need to make the necessary calculation of the required number of loops for the set. The number of loops of the initial row depends on the diameter of the spokes and the thickness of the thread, so a sample of the loop sample is knit from the yarn intended for the execution of the article to check the conformity of the tools and establish the knitting density horizontally and vertically - the number of loops and rows of 10 cm.

To execute the sample, 20-30 loops are collected,or the corresponding rapport number + two edge. 12-14 cm are blended. If several patterns are used in a product, then all the drawings should be tied on one sample. This will help to find out whether the patterns match one another. For example, the same number of loops, connected by garter stitch, will be wider than stocking knitting, and the English elastic band is wider than the weave cloth. Therefore, if the width of the patterns does not match, calculate the number of loops that need to be added or subtracted to keep the desired width of the knitted part.

A canvas from a roving, or a single yarn, sometimes slightly mows. To avoid such a defect, you must choose those patterns in the same row of which an equal number of front and back loops.

The bound control sample is stripped. Intensity of ironing is different for different techniques. Plateau, lace, as well as boucle and knitted diamonds with knitting needles, the schemes of which are presented in the article, are stripped off lightly, the hose surface is stronger. Determine the number of loops in a 10 cm sample, divide by 10, multiply the resulting value by the number of centimeters required for the set.

Openwork rhombuses with knitting needles: schemes

The basis of these patterns was the use of eddies(holes) resulting from the uncovering of open caps, which usually make the reception "on their own" and performed from the wrong side of the loop, and are indicated on the diagrams in a circle. The combination of ruffles and loops on the front or the back of the hair with the imagination of an experienced knitter gives a huge number of different patterns. The most elegant and beautiful in knitted fabrics handmade are openwork patterns for knitting with knitting needles. The diamonds in them can take the most bizarre and unusual shapes. The choice of yarn for working with openwork patterns is of the utmost importance: a thin mohair is perfectly suited for knitting light stoles and shawls, from a medium-thick thread, you get magnificent sweaters, jackets, cardigans and dresses. The presented sample is a classical variant of tying the pattern "openwork rhombs" with knitting needles. Schemes for it are given with the image of the wrong side and contain additional designations:

• m - tying 3 loops of one;

• / - making 2 loops together with one tilt to the right;

• - making 2 loops together with one tilt to the left.

When knitting a pattern of "openwork rhombs" with knitting needlesit is necessary to control the number of loops in the row, since the number of them increases due to the napkin, and beginning knitters sometimes forget to balance the resulting holes by tying several loops of one in accordance with the pattern of the row. Therefore, when carrying out the work, it is necessary to follow the scheme of the selected figure rigorously. In order not to lose count in the series, it is better to use a series counter in which you need to manually translate the number of the series after it is tied.

Technique of knitting by trenching

Knitting by the movement today is more often called"Arans", or "braids". This is one of the most common ways of knitting rhombuses. A cloth made of yarn of any texture, made in this way, turns out effective and relief. The thicker the yarn, the larger the pattern.

It should be borne in mind that when doing suchthe yarn consumption increases. The patterns of the "diamond" with knitting needles, the schemes and the description of which are given in the article, are applied not only for the fulfillment of the main motifs of the canvas. They are magnificent in fragments and in decoration. One product can be made from combinations of several types of arans with other patterns.

Transit can be performed from a different numberloops and tie in different techniques. In addition, it is possible to perform diamond rhombi on both the face and the back of the knitted fabric. Crossing, consisting of two or more loops, is usually only bound on the front side. When performing a pattern with the offset of one loop, you can work without using an additional spoke. If the rhombus consists of 2 or more loops, an additional spoke is required, which is looped off during the patterning process. An important condition for using this tool is that the diameter of the spokes, both basic and optional, should be the same to prevent swings in the web density.

Pattern "diamond" knitting needles. Scheme, description of the pattern with the displacement and movement of the loops

Any drawing, even the most uncomplicated one, requires attention, and knitting rhombuses by arans is a really laborious process.

Careful repetition of the order of tyingassumes and the performance of the "diamond" pattern with knitting needles. The diagrams and the description proposed in the article are sufficiently clear, and the main condition for the correct performance of the work is attention and accuracy. Repeating the pattern of 41 loops and 27 rows consists of a rhombus (17 loops) and a relief strip (24 loops). The loosening of the rhombus begins with the transfer of 4 loops in the 3rd row. Next, in each face row, the rhombus walls are shifted to one loop. In the 11th row, in the middle of the diamond, there are eight purl loops. Two central loops cross each other, forming a small pigtail in the center of the rhombus. Such transitions - 3 times, in the 11th, 13th and 15th rows. From the 15th row begins the displacement of the rhombus walls toward the center. The relief strip consists of the displacement of the tracks from the 2 face loops along the back field. Repeating this picture is 6 rows. The pattern of the "diamond" with spokes, the patterns of which are easy to read, are effective and elegant on the finished product.

Combined patterns

A mixture of different techniquesdesigns, patterns, are called combined. In them can participate arans, openwork inserts, facial and purl smoothness. Knitted fabric, made in this way, is elegant and elegant. In particular, the pattern of the "rhombus" with spokes, the scheme and description of which is also presented here, fully confirms this.

A drawing that imitates leaves with openworkstreaks on the first half and facial smoothness - on the second, represents a classic combination of various knitting techniques, organically intertwined.

Conclusion

The execution of a pattern in any knitting technique, whether it be delicate rhombuses with knitting needles or the intricate interlacing of arans, requires attention and patience, but is subsequently rewarded with a hundredfold when the work is finished.
