How to crochet Solomon loops. "Solomon's knot" and products from it Crochet Solomon's knots
A hook is a tool that allows its owner to create many unique things. Each product carries the warmth of the hands and soul of the craftswoman. The crochet pattern is original and complete. A separate place among crocheted patterns is occupied by a pattern cunningly referred to as the “Solomon knot”. Knitting such a pattern is not difficult, but it requires certain skills in working with this tool. This article provides an annotation on how to crochet a Solomon knot pattern, the diagrams below are easy to read and understand even for a novice craftswoman.
The Solomon knot technique is suitable for the manufacture of many details: from interior decor to stylish accessories and items of clothing. Scarves, stoles, capes, ponchos, openwork blouses and even swimwear - everything will look just great. The article provides a master class on making a scarf, on the basis of which later it will be possible to create other more complex elements of the needlewoman's wardrobe. First of all, the article contains a description, without which no further work is possible.
foundation of the foundations
The process of knitting a Solomon knot is shown in the diagram below.
First you need to create a chain of 2 air loops. Next, a single crochet is knitted into a loop closer to the hook, a long loop is pulled out. working thread hooked and passed through a long loop without tightening the latter. To get a knot, you need to grab the working thread and knit a single crochet.
A long loop is pulled out again and a single crochet is knitted, this is how the knot itself is formed. Next, the chain is knitted, based on the required length, predetermined by the final product.
It is important to consider that the width of the finished item will be less than the length of the chain, so in order to correctly calculate the length, you need to knit more than three rows using the Solomon knot technique.
Another important point is that the number of Solomon loops must be even. Otherwise, the finished canvas will be asymmetrical. When knitting the second row, it is necessary to insert the hook into the fifth knot relative to the end of the row and knit a single crochet. Next, the knitting of the Solomon loops continues with their fastening in the knots of the first row.
On the third row, three loops are knitted. Then they are fixed in the middle node of the chain of the second row. In the same way, knitting of all subsequent rows continues. A seemingly daunting task becomes more and more simple as the schemes are explored and the work progresses.
We create awesome things
After mastering the algorithm for knitting Solomon loops and creating a Solomon knot pattern, you can proceed to the creation of finished products. At this stage of providing materials, a scheme of a scarf using the Solomon knot technique is presented.
Such a product looks very gentle and neat, it gives the image of lightness and femininity. A scarf made using the Solomon knot technique can be worn both in the cold season with a fur coat or coat, and in warm weather with a jacket or cardigan.
It remains only to tie it.
The scheme of the finished product looks quite simple.
In fact, everything is implemented not much more complicated.
First of all, you need to choose yarn. The thinner the thread, the more airy the scarf will look, the thicker the thread, the more massive, voluminous and pronounced the pattern will look, respectively, and the finished thing. Not the last role is played by the color of the yarn. On dark yarn, the pattern will be more difficult to distinguish than on light yarn, and one of our tasks is to show off the skills of the craftswoman. On the other hand, possible flaws will be poorly visible on a dark scarf, if suddenly the needlewoman does not succeed the first time.
The knitting process consists in knitting ten solomonic knots, plus the two nodes required for the turn. Starting from the second row, the product is knitted according to the pattern until it reaches the desired length of the final knitting product. The elongated loops are knitted into the knots of the previous row.
It is very important that all the elongated loops are equal in size, otherwise the scarf will be deformed and ugly.
At the end of the work, the scarf is sewn on the side that is shorter. When stitching, you need to combine all the edge knots. If desired, brushes or other decor can be added to the finished product.
In addition to the scarf, crocheted shawls using the Solomon knot technique look simply gorgeous.
A diagram of such a thing can be found here.
When choosing such a product, you need to take into account that this is a more massive product, respectively, and the yarn for it should be selected more dense.
Video on the topic of the article
Whatever product the craftswoman chooses for her work, below are videos on how and what products can be knitted using the technique of Solomon loops.
Solomon loops are popular among knitters for their lightness and originality. Each product crocheted with Solomon loops seems weightless. Therefore, if you do not already own this pattern, then you can consider detailed master class with a photo in the article to take note of these loops. They will make a wonderful stole (link to our article), or a charming bolero. So that you don’t start crocheting with Solomon loops, the result will be gorgeous.
The sample in the master class is crocheted 2.5, and the yarn used is Pekhorka (50 wool, 50 fiber, 225 meters in 50 gr.)
Crocheting a Solomon loop begins with 2 air loops.
In the first v.p. knit st. b / n (single crochet). Thus, you will pull the thread and lead the working thread through both loops. 
This loop should be long.
An important part of crocheting Solomon knots is that all loops should be the same length.
Grab the thread and pull it through the extended loop without tightening.
The knot will turn out if you insert the hook under the working thread (to the left of the retracted loop), grab the thread and make st. b/n.
Now pull out a long loop again
Knit as described to the end of the first row.
The number of these Solomon loops must be divisible by 2.
We turn to the second row: when you knit the last Solomon knot of the first row, do not pull out a long loop, but make st. b / n in the fifth knot from the end. 
Now you need to crochet two Solomon loops and connect the knots (through one) using st.b / n.
Having made the second row, it will turn out like this: 
In the third row, we will start knitting a Solomon pattern with three Solomon knots, and then we will go to the middle knot of the round motif
We knit the fourth row as the third.
According to this description of Solomon loops with a crochet, you will start knitting immediately with Solomon knots, but you can find an option when they start knitting such a pattern from a chain of air loops, and then move on to the pattern itself.
An interesting tip: this pattern will look great if you knit it from melange yarn.
Ideal products crocheted with Solomon loops are stoles, shawls, boleros. 
You can crochet many different openwork patterns, and one of the most spectacular is the so-called “Solomon knot”. Products made using this technique are incredibly light and airy, and the pattern is also suitable for warm items such as scarves and shawls. In the master class below, we will consider the procedure for knitting the Solomon knot pattern using a regular crochet hook: diagrams and descriptions are attached.
How to crochet a Solomon knot: patterns with a pattern knitting technique
For knitting a sample, we will use a thin thread (50 g / 225 m) and hook No. 2.5. We collect a chain of two air loops. In the first loop from the hook, we knit a single crochet and pull out a long loop. Then we grab the working thread with a hook and pass it through a long loop without tightening it. To get a knot, grab the working thread and knit a single crochet.
Again we pull out a long loop and knit a single crochet, forming a knot. So we knit a chain of the required length. It should be remembered that the final width of the product will be less than the length of this chain, therefore, to calculate the width, it is recommended to knit several rows with the Solomon knot pattern. It is necessary to try to pull out the loops of the same size each time. The number of "Solomon loops" must always be a multiple of two for the symmetry of the knitted fabric.
To knit the second row, insert the hook into the fifth knot from the end and knit a single crochet. We continue to knit two "Solomon loops", fixing them in the knots of the first row.
In the third row we knit three loops and fasten them in the central node of the chain of the second row. Thus, we continue knitting all subsequent rows. This pattern is great for almost any kind of fine yarn: plain and melange, smooth and fluffy.
Let's try to knit a warm and original scarf with a Solomon knot pattern
To master this technique knitting, it is worth practicing on simple things. For example, an openwork scarf made of thin mohair will perfectly fit into the wardrobe of any fashionista and will be appropriate in any weather.
Necessary materials:- 100 g fine mohair yarn in white or light gray;
- hook number 6.
The length of the product is approximately 150 cm, the width is about 20 cm. The scarf is shown below.
To get the required width, in the first row we knit 10 "Solomon knots", including two knots for turning. Starting from the second row, we knit according to the scheme until the required length of the knitted fabric is reached, knitting elongated loops to the nodes of the previous row. We make sure that all the elongated loops have approximately the same size. At the end, we sew the scarf along the short side, combining all the edge knots.
We make a shawl with a pattern "Solomon's knot" with a description and diagrams
Extraordinarily beautiful shawls are obtained by combining the "Solomon knot" and denser patterns, such as lush columns. Below is a master class on knitting one of the most spectacular products.
- 250-270 g of yarn (composed of acrylic and angora, 500 m / 100 g);
- hook number 2.5.
We start knitting a shawl from the bottom corner of the triangle shown in the diagram below.
Recruiting 4 air loops and we knit in the first of them one column with a crochet. In the first row we knit four magnificent columns with arches of three air loops between them. After knitting the last magnificent column, we pull out a long loop and turn the canvas. In the second row we knit two lush columns with three air loops between them. Then we knit the “Solomon knot”, one double crochet, an arch of three air loops and another double crochet into the middle arch of the first row. Then we repeat the "Solomon's knot" and the lush columns separated by an arch.
In the third row we knit a group of lush columns, a “Solomon knot”, four lush columns with arches of 3 air loops, a “Solomon knot” and another group of lush columns. In the fourth row, between the extreme groups of lush columns, we will knit two “Solomon knots”, two arches and two more “Solomon knots”. Thus, in each row, lush columns and "Solomon's knots" will alternate.
We continue to knit according to the pattern for all subsequent rows. We should get a triangle with openwork pattern from lush columns and elongated loops in the center, framed by a pigtail of double lush columns at the edges.
We knit a shawl until the required length is reached, periodically trying it on. At the end, we tie the upper part of the resulting triangle with one row of single crochets, cut off and carefully thread the working thread.
We decorate the product with a long fringe. To do this, we cut the yarn into segments of the same length, fold them into bundles and use a hook to attach them in the center, clinging to the first row of lush columns in a pigtail. We trim the resulting fringe with scissors. It should be borne in mind that almost a whole skein of threads can take to finish the shawl.

We propose to fix the technique of making the “Solomon knot” pattern and tie other products with it, looking at the following detailed videos lessons.
From this master class you will learn how to crochet Solomon loops easily and quickly. This is a fairly detailed photo tutorial with which you will master this technique in just a few minutes. Even a novice master can tie the knot of Solomon and create very beautiful things with it. Grab your yarn and crochet hook and let's get started!
To create Solomon loops, we advise you to choose a yarn that is not too thick and not too fluffy. Things with a Solomon knot pattern turn out much more beautiful when the thread is smooth and thin - this emphasizes their texture and delicacy. Accordingly, we also take a hook not too thick - metal is better.
Progress
We collect a number of loops.
We grab the working loop with a hook and pass it through the next one.
When you have completed the usual loop, we hook the second thread with a hook and grab the working thread. We make a second regular loop. We pass the thread through both loops and again pull out a long loop. That is, we repeat the step that was the first.
Then we lower the loops to the first row and knit the Solomon loop by passing the thread.
We begin to repeat everything from the very beginning. When two long loops are already knitted, repeat the process again. So you need to knit a whole row with a Solomon pattern. Then go upstairs. The rise is carried out by knitting elongated loops.
We continue knitting in rows. So we get the Solomon's knot.
