Adding stitches on knitting needles. Knitting

A mandatory skill when knitting any product is the ability to add loops when knitting. Using this skill, it becomes possible to perform the necessary reliefs that will emphasize the curves of your figure. Also, loops are added when certain patterns are required to be knitted, while the method of addition must correspond to the chosen motif.

In the master class presented here, we will talk in more detail about all the known methods of adding loops. At the same time, it is desirable to study them all, since for each characteristic case, as a rule, a certain method is used to increase the number of loops. Please note that in some variants, in addition to the task of adding loops, the issue of decorating this element is solved, which can also be used in your product.

First, consider a way to increase the number of loops using a broach, thanks to which it will turn out not only to increase their number, but also to get a decorative element in knitting.

When the product is already connected before the moment of increasing the loops, you should working needle pull out the thread that is between the loops, the so-called broach.

We throw the drawn thread or broach onto the knitting needle on the left.

And only then it can be knitted with a front loop, using only its back wall.

The result will be a gradual increase in the number of loops, and not the place of the increase in openwork holes.

The next option is quite similar to the previous one, but in this case, the openwork holes will be on two sides of the central chain of eyelets. Therefore, this method is called the double-sided addition of loops from the broach.

When the product is knitted until the loops increase, we pull out the thread between the loops or the broach with the knitting needle on the right and leave it on it.

We knit the next loop with the usual front one, after which we should pull out another broach on the knitting needle on the right. In the row that follows this, all broaches are knitted with facial loops, as well as the middle loop between them.

After such knitting, you should get an openwork insert with a central chain in the center.

In some cases, an increase in the number of loops is used with a crossed broach.

It should be noted that this option can be used if you want to add new loops in any part of the knitted product.

When the work has reached the moment of adding loops, with a knitting needle on the right we pull out the thread between the loops or the broach, using only its back.

We knit the pulled out loop with the front loop.

This option is good because the increase in the number of loops occurs almost imperceptibly against the general background of the pattern.

Like a one-sided addition, an increase in the number of loops with a crossed broach can be done in a double-sided manner.

In the part of the product where it is necessary to increase the number of loops, you should stretch the broach using its back part and knit it with the front loop. After that, another front loop is knitted, after which another broach follows, knitted with a front loop, using its back.

On this, the options for increasing the number of loops in knitted product do not end.

In the event that loops should be added in an imperceptible way, then the addition of loops is used, pulling them from the previous row.
When the product is knitted to the place where you need to add loops, the right knitting needle is inserted into one of the loops of the previous row.

The loop thus elongated should be put on the left knitting needle.

We knit the same loop with the front one, and after it we knit the next loop on the left knitting needle, also the front one.

This is how the place for increasing the number of loops looks like in this case.

But it is sometimes necessary to add loops from the edge of the product in order to be able to knit the neck, sides or other elements of the intended product.

Please note that with this method of increasing the number of loops, the edge is strong enough and not stretchable.

Consider an increase in the number of loops from the left edge of the product.

In this option, the addition of loops will be carried out at the end of the row. Therefore, when the row is completely knitted, we put on the just knitted edge loop on the released knitting needle.

Now it can be knitted with a front loop using its back wall.

This is what this addition looks like on the left side of the product.

In a similar way, you can add loops, but on the right side of the product.

At the beginning of the row, you need to pull the working thread through the edge loop onto the right knitting needle.

The next loop should be knitted with a front loop.

This is what this addition looks like on the right side of the product.

Next, we will talk about another way to increase the number of loops, which will be carried out from the right edge.
Here, the loops are added at the beginning of the row, that is, from its edge. With a working knitting needle, you should knit the first loop, which is the front edge.

We send the resulting loop to the left knitting needle.

Through it, you should again insert a knitting needle and knit it with your own front loop.

Acting in this way, you can dial the desired number of loops from the right edge of the product.

All new loops must be included in subsequent knitting.

Today we will learn how to decrease and add loops with knitting needles. To knit any thing, the ability to knit a straight fabric, like for a scarf, is not enough ... Individual parts of almost all products have bevels, cutouts, cuts, okats and so on. All these uneven lines and bends can be obtained by adding or decreasing loops.

You can decrease and add loops with knitting needles both from the edges of the canvas and in the canvas itself.

But let's get it right...

Imagine that you decide to knit a triangular scarf for yourself, not according to someone else's description, but yourself, on your own.

To perform such a product, you need skill,

• firstly, calculate increases or decreases (depending on which edge you will knit a scarf from)

For example:

A classic triangular scarf (shawl) can be knitted both from the base and from the corner, while making either uniform decreases on both sides of the fabric, or even increases

Also, a triangular scarf can be knitted from the corner, making increases or decreases on only one side of the product.
An example of such a handkerchief is

• secondly, you need to be able to decrease and add loops with knitting needles.

How to decrease and add with knitting needles one loop from the edge of the fabric or in the fabric itself

The addition of one loop is done by or knitted .

For uniform increases on both sides of the canvas, this is done as follows:

In the front row, first the edge loop is knitted, then the yarn, but not simple, but twisted (then there will be no hole in the place of the yarn) or a loop is raised from the broach, then all the other loops of the row are knitted. Before the last loop, again yarn over or loop from a broach, edge. In the purl row, you need to knit all the loops, including the newly dialed ones, “according to the pattern”

The decrease of one loop is done by knitting the loops together. The principle is the same...

Edge loop, two loops together with a slope to the left, we knit all the loops of the row up to the last three. Two together with a slope to the right, edge loop.

to knit two loops with an inclination to the left, it is enough to knit two loops together behind the back wall.

to knit two loops with an inclination to the right, it is enough to knit two loops together behind the front wall.

If you need to add or subtract from only one side of the canvas, then we make an increase or decrease either at the beginning of the row or at the end.

It should be noted that it is not at all necessary to add and subtract loops with knitting needles immediately after and before the edge loop. You can knit a pair of front ones after the hem one, and then make a decrease or increase, at the end of the row, respectively, before the hem one, retreat the same number of loops before making a decrease or increase ... In the wrong row, knit these loops with the wrong ones ... As a result, you will get a neat planochka. This technique is used for knitting raglan ...

Also, with the help of a yarn over or lifting a loop from a broach, you can add loops in the middle of the row

How to decrease and add loops with knitting needles in groups at the beginning and end of knitting a row

Yes this moment I know only one way to group increase loops with knitting needles. Such an addition is made only on one side - at the end of the row.

In order to add a few loops from the edge of the canvas, you need to knit a row to the end and dial the required number of loops on the knitting needles .
Turn the knitting and knit the newly typed and remaining loops of the row “according to the pattern”. Therefore, in order to perform a similar increase on the other side of the canvas, you need to get loops again at the end of this row.
By the way, you can also dial loops, this is also quite a convenient option.

A group decrease in loops is always done at the beginning of the row.
The required number of loops is simply "according to the pattern", and then knitting continues.

Uniform increase in loops throughout the fabric

You will also definitely need information on how to decrease and add loops in the canvas itself.

You take a magazine with the model you like, read the description,

For example:

“Dial 101p. and knit 6 rows for the bar in garter stitch, while in the last row evenly add 4p. = 105p. ”

What does it mean?

This means that after knitting 5 rows of garter stitch, in the 6th row you must make an increase, namely, add 4p.

Evenly means at equal intervals.

In this example, you can not particularly bother with the calculations, because the increase is scanty, and add a loop between 10 and 11, 30 and 31, 60 and 61, 90 and 91 loops (i.e.

at roughly equal intervals).

Now imagine that, according to the description, you need to add not 4, but 24 loops, how to understand where to add loops to which places?

And again the math...

To find out how many loops you need to increase, divide the total number of loops by the number of loops that you are going to add.

We share as primary school with the rest.

101/24=4 (remainder 5)

Answer 4 - this means we need to make an increase every 4 loops.

We knitted four loops - add 1 loop, knit 4 more loops, add again, etc.,

And what to do with the remaining 5 loops, you ask ... yes, you just need to “scatter” on the edge, i.e. along the edges of the canvas.

In the canvas, increases are also made by yarn over or knitting a loop from a broach. For facial surface it is better to use a loop from a broach, or a twisted crochet.

A twisted yarn can be done as follows (see photo)

Uniform decrease of loops throughout the fabric

Uniform decreases in the canvas are calculated in the same way as increases (see the example above in the text), only the loops are not added, but decreased. We decrease the loops by knitting two loops together.pattern

That's all for today.

Any knitting work begins with a set of loops - this is an axiom. It is recommended for beginner needlewomen to make it on two knitting needles so that there is a gap and it is easier to master the process. There are several ways to cast on loops on the knitting needles. Those who have only recently become addicted to needlework should first learn the simplest universal method that is easy to use for any product. But the edge edge performs different functions - it can be invisible, elastic or like an elastic band - dense, tightening. It depends on the dialing method of the first row.

Step by step instructions for casting on knitting needles for beginners

For any knitting, it is very important to learn the correct positioning of the hands, then the cast-on loops will be evenly tightened, and the comfortable position of the fingers will help to do everything quickly. Elbows during work should be slightly bent, not in contact with any surface. Index fingers are involved more than others. Place a ball of yarn (wool, mohair) in front of you so that the thread is free. To knit a certain thing, select the type of border that will match the pattern.

How to learn to dial the first loop of the initial row

• Unwind the desired length of thread from the ball (about 10 cm for every 10 loops) and on the left hand, place on top of three fingers from the little finger to the middle.
• Wrap the thread around the index from below.
• Stretch the yarn to the thumb, twist it from the bottom up, making a loop.
• Hold the thread with the middle, ring and little fingers, pressing it to the palm of your hand.
• Take two knitting needles right hand, pick up the loop on the bottom of the thumb, thread and hook the yarn that is on the index finger.
• Stretch and make a loop, which will become the beginning of the edge row.
• The remaining loops of the required number are dialed in the same order.

The method of casting air loops on one knitting needle

• Use only one needle. Fasten a knot of yarn.

• Wrap the working thread around the index finger clockwise or counterclockwise. The loops will be knit or purl. Use one method or another, depending on how the second row will be knitted.
• Insert the needle into the loop, remove it by tightening it on the working one. Further along the same lines.

Some different types creation air loops look in the video.

Additional loops

For most products, simply knitting an even canvas is not the limit of what is possible; as the canvas expands, the number of loops should be added. Having connected the required number of rows according to the scheme, you need to start adding additional loops, which should be evenly spaced, for example, every third or fourth. As a result, you can easily get a triangular part of the future product.

• The first loop is removed.
• The second is knitted front.
• An additional loop is obtained if you make a crochet. The next one is the front.
• Through certain number facial loops, depending on how much the initial amount is dialed and how much you need to add, we repeat this operation with a crochet.
• So that holes do not form in the place where the yarn was made, in the next row, which is knitted with purl, you need to knit the thread through the back wall.
• Edge bands are removed without knitting.

Cross stitch cast on

To start casting on in a crosswise way, you need to measure the yarn, which will exceed the length of the thing three times, from this point to start work.

• We create a loop with our hands, stretching it through the thread, put it on the knitting needles.
• The yarn should wrap around the index and thumb, as in the classic way. Knit, tighten, removing the thread from thumb.
• The next loop from the thumb is grabbed from below and knitted, the yarn is grabbed from it from top to bottom and tightened.
• The new stage is tightening the loop from the bottom up.
• Alternating loops by tightening from above or below gives a cross-shaped pattern. A visual aid is provided in the video.

Italian way to knit elastic

This method is used for knitting gum 1x1 or 2x2. For a tighter, tightened edge, use only one needle as you work.

• Having unwound the required amount from the ball, the free end of the thread should be placed on the fingers of the left hand (middle, ring, little finger), sandwiched between the index and middle.

• Pull the thread to the thumb and wrap it around it clockwise, as the video tutorial shows.
• Insert the needle from the bottom up under the yarn on the thumb, hook the part that comes from the index finger, stretch it into the loop on the thumb.
• Slip the loop off your thumb and tighten it gently.
• Following the instructions, as shown in the master class, dial, alternating front and back loops. The number of loops should be even and additionally two edge loops.
• Flip. The first edge is not knitted, it must be removed.
• The front ones are knitted behind the back wall.
• Remove the wrong side without knitting. Keep the yarn in front.
• If the gum is 1x1, then the alternation of loops through one, if 2x2, then through two.
• The pattern is repeated: knit the front, remove the wrong ones, holding the yarn in front.
• Knit the last edging purl.
• Turning over, remove the first edge, leaving it open. Knit knit, purl to remove so that the thread is in front.
• Starting from the third row, the front ones are knitted as front, purl - purl.

On circular needles

Circular knitting needles do not always have a long fishing line, and the number of loops must sometimes be large. An additional straight knitting needle, of the same diameter as those to which the fishing line is attached, can come to the rescue.

• Connecting together a straight line and one of circular needles, you need to start making a set of loops in a way convenient for you.
• By shifting the typed loops, their displacement passes to a circular fishing line.
• If the product is planned to be knitted big size, and the length of the needle no longer allows you to dial further in quantity, you can apply a little trick: pull out an additional straight line, move the finished loops onto the fishing line, insert again, but in the last few loops.
• Continue convenient set further, until the desired amount.
• Add one additional loop, which will become a link for the two extreme edges.

Video

Experienced craftswomen know that how the loops of the first row are cast on depends appearance products. A trial knitting sample will help you calculate the correct number of loops to be cast on, with which it will be easy to determine how many loops in this pattern you need in one centimeter. The existence of several methods of recruitment gives a great chance to choose the right option that will fit only such a product.

How to cast loops on the knitting needles to make it elastic beautiful gum, which will not stretch and retain its original shape - find out from the video. This method will definitely come in handy if you decide to knit a snood scarf, gloves, mittens, socks. The difference in starting work for these products will not be in the method of dialing, but in which knitting needles and how they were used. For a scarf, circular ones with a fishing line are suitable, and mittens and socks are knitted with the help of four and an additional fifth. You can learn more from the video tutorials on how to knit

When knitting, situations often arise when the number of loops on the knitting needles needs to be increased. Most often, the addition of loops is performed on the front side of the product, but in some cases it is also done on the wrong side. There are various ways to add loops on the knitting needles when knitting, each of which has its own characteristics. The following are a few basic methods for increasing loops.

Nakida

Yarn over - a method of adding one or more loops by throwing a working thread on the right knitting needle. Depending on the movement of the hand, there are yarns “from oneself” (reverse) and “on oneself” (straight), and if you need to add 2 or more loops at once, double or triple yarns are made. How to make a straight yarn, shown in the photo:

And this photo demonstrates how to tie a reverse crochet “from yourself”:

Knitting yarns can often be found in patterns openwork patterns, since when they are knitted on the wrong side, they leave holes in the canvas.

Let's show how to knit a double crochet with knitting needles:

The working right knitting needle was twisted around with a thread 2 times, and on the wrong side, each of the turns is knitted separately. Triple yarn and so on are performed in the same way, only the number of turns increases.

Increase from broach

A broach is a section of thread between two loops. To understand how to make an increase from a broach, look at the photo:

This shows how to start the knitting needle under the broach by moving away from you. Next, you need to grab the working thread and stretch it under the broach (see below):

Another loop formed on the needle. In order not to disturb the pattern of the canvas, it is better to perform an increase from the broach on the wrong side in the wrong way, that is, turning the knitting needle with the thread in a “pull-on” movement:

Knitting several loops from one

This method allows you to add several loops to the knitting needle at once. To do this, knit the loop first with the front one:

Then, without removing the knitted loop, move the thread forward and knit the same loop already inside out:

Alternating knitting in this way, you can get any number of loops from one loop.

Knitting a loop from the bottom row

Sometimes, to create patterns, you need to pull out additional loops, knitting sections of the bottom row of the fabric. How to knit the loops of the bottom row is shown in the photo:

To do this, the needle is inserted into the loop located below, the working thread is captured and pulled into the hole.

Lifting the bottom loop

All of the above methods serve to increase the loops on the right knitting needle. This method is unusual in that it allows you to increase loops on the left. To do this, with a working knitting needle, you should raise the lower loop located under the untied one, which is located on the left knitting needle and throw it onto the knitting needle itself:

Both loops are knitted or purl depending on the knitting chosen:

The increase in loops due to the lower loop is good because it is almost invisible and maintains the density of the knitting of the fabric without the formation of holes.

So, we looked at the most common ways to add loops when knitting. We hope it helped you this master class. Smooth loops to you and good luck in your work!

Knitting is one of those hobbies that brings not only pleasure from the process itself, but also an excellent result. beautiful products- a real reward for the craftswoman, who invested a lot of her imagination and labor in its manufacture. One of the most important skills is the ability to different ways add loops.

How to add stitches on knitting needles?

There are quite a few ways to add loops, some can be considered simple, while others are more complex. Let's start with the simplest: adding loops with crochets. This method allows you to add loops both at the beginning or end, and in the middle of the row, creating a harmonious combination with existing loops. Adding loops from broach - simple and understandable way that even a beginner knitter can do.

The broach itself is a kind of connection between two adjacent loops on the right and left knitting needles. Of course, you can add loops from broaches on both the front and back fabrics, the effect will be the same, it all depends on the author's idea or recommendations in the knitting pattern. But in fact, everything is simple: it is tedious to transfer the broach to the right knitting needle and then simply knit it with the necessary - front or back - loop.

How to add loops correctly and what to do with them next?

The addition of loops when knitting allows you to create interesting combinations of loops, increase the fabric in accordance with the pattern. Among the most applicable methods today is the addition of loops at the end of a row or at its beginning. There are also secrets here: you can add one loop, then everything is more or less simple, you just need to knit the same loop twice, or you can add several at once. Here the technology changes a little: in the first loop from the beginning of the row, you need to insert a knitting needle (front loop) and pull out the thread. It is with this elongated loop that the operation of adding loops is performed exactly as many times as the loops need to be added.

In general, the process of adding loops must be approached responsibly. To make the fabric look of high quality and not “please” with holes, the loops must be added tightly enough so that they fit organically into the overall concept of knitting. There are very interesting way additions at the end of the row, which is called Italian: the point is that the set of loops in this case is done with the help of the index finger. A loop is made on it, wrapping around the working thread, and then right needle Having passed through it, they grab the thread and already fix the future loop with it.

There is nothing difficult in knitting correctly to add loops. Although, of course, this process will require increased attention. An experienced craftswoman knows many ways and can determine by eye which one is suitable in a given situation. Well, beginners can be advised to carefully follow the description, on which you knit, and gain experience. In other words, you should not immediately take on the execution of the product, if the process of adding loops is only theoretically known. It is better to knit a few small samples, practice them in different ways, add a few loops at the beginning or end of the row, see what happens. An incorrectly chosen method of increase will lead to noticeable holes or an uneven edge.

Knitting is a complex process, especially when it comes to products with darts, interesting shapes, and decorative details. But learning how to knit correctly is not difficult, you just have to show patience and endurance, then a new sweater or coat will delight you incredibly.
