The broach is knitted with knitting needles. Stretching with knitting needles in different ways
Stretching has several meanings. It all depends on whether you decrease or, conversely, add. Or maybe you form a simple pattern.
More complicated types of broach can be tried for knitting ornaments of a high class of complexity. Let's consider in more detail.
What is broach
In general, it is customary to call a thread a broach, which is obtained by placing the knitting needles in different directions, or stretching the place of work in knitting. Between the loops of the last completed row there will be a bridge - a transverse thread. She will be a stretch. In the classical sense.
With the help of it, “holes” are added and formed - a knitting pattern. By knitting it additionally, just like any ordinary loop, an addition is obtained - the knitting expands. But it will look like a hole. If these are done all over in an organized manner, this is a pretty pattern with polka dots.
The broach is also an artificially created bridge. Just throw a thread on the knitting needle in the usual row, and knit it in the next. Another kind of addition. There will also be holes. Such yarns are the most popular pattern forming tool.
It happens that sketches are made two in a row. or three. This is for shawls - there are large holes, large loops and thin material.
Specific Features
If you add evenly and from row to row - there will be a decorative strip, they often use this to fix the border of the sleeves on the shoulders. Interesting and beautiful, original.
Another meaning of the broach is a decrease, knitting one or two or three loops at once. It turns out that the thread that forms the new row will be stretched, lying through several loops. This is also a kind of pattern, if orderly and systematically knitted. Or maybe just a reduction for a hat.
This option is interesting on self-knitted scarves, sweaters and other clothes. Most The best way narrowing of the product.
Still extremely interesting option using a broach is lifting it from the bottom row a few rows up. It turns out a "bubble" product. Beautiful. Sweatshirts, scarves, decorative scarves - it looks great.
You need to pick up the broach, which we described at the beginning of the article. Her classic understanding. And lift it up to the higher row, but again leave it untouched, lift it further exactly as before. Then more. You will get a contraction of knitting in this place.
If you do this according to the scheme, it will be very nice. It is especially attractive on wide capes and loose-fitting sweaters.
If you know how to knit with knitting needles, then you have probably come across the addition of loops. The ability to perform such a technique is very important, since almost no knitted product is complete without adding loops.
Not everyone knows how to add loops correctly and what methods exist for this. Many of the needlewomen do it in their usual way, without seeking the advice of specialists. And in vain, since there are very convenient methods for adding loops, which they do not even know about. Of course, you can’t confuse experienced craftswomen with such a question, but beginner needlewomen quite often ask: “How to add loops when knitting?” We will gladly answer this question. After all, having learned the correct implementation of this technique, you can give knitted product desired shape and aesthetic appearance. Let's look at a few basic ways to add loops.
The first way is to add loops from the broach
This method allows not only to increase the number of loops in a row, but also to decorate the product.
Most often, the addition of loops from the broach is done in the center of the work. To add a loop from a broach, use working needle you need to pick up the broach located between the two loops of the previous row and put it on the left knitting needle. But that is not all. Now right needle bring under the front of the loop and knit the front loop. As a result of this addition, neat holes appear on the knitted fabric, which perform a decorative function.
Adding loops from a broach with a two-way method
In principle, this type of addition is carried out in a similar way to the above. Its implementation is possible both at the beginning of knitting and in the center.
For example, by doing facial knitting the first half of the canvas, with the help of a working knitting needle, a broach located between the just connected and the central loops is picked up. After that, place it on the left knitting needle and knit the front loop. Next comes the knitting of the central front loop. Now we pick up the broach again and throw it on the left knitting needle, and knit it again as a front loop.
Such bilateral method adding loops from a broach is quite simple in execution and helps in the decorative design of the product. The most common direction for this method of adding loops is. Agree that such clothing models look more original. Having mastered this method, you will not only learn how to add loops on the knitting needles, but also learn how to knit things with
A variation of the method of adding from a broach - a crossed version
This type of addition completely coincides with the first option. The only difference is that the front loop is knitted crossed. This option of adding is carried out in the center of work. To do this, the working knitting needle is inserted between the two loops of the previous row to capture the broach. Now you need to throw it on the left knitting needle, then insert the right one behind the back wall and knit the front loop.
As a rule, this method is suitable for making reliefs on the canvas, in the case when it is necessary to preserve the overall pattern. This method can be knitted, for example, darts.
Method of double-sided addition from a crossed broach
Above, we considered a one-sided method of adding loops from a broach. The method described now is similar in its execution to it. Such an addition is performed at the beginning of the row, it is it that gives the product the necessary shape and makes it beautiful in appearance.
We divide all the loops into two parts and determine the central loop. We knit the first part of the fabric with facial loops, then with the help of a working knitting needle we catch the broach located between the two loops of the previous row and place it on the left knitting needle. Now with the right knitting needle we hook this broach behind the back wall, we perform facial knitting. Next, we knit the central loop of the front and again we catch the broach with the help of a working knitting needle, we perform crossed knitting.
How to evenly add loops along the edge of the canvas?
This type differs from the previous ones and is used if it is necessary to obtain a sufficiently dense edge of the web. Necks, sides and other parts of knitted products are usually knitted with this method.
The addition is carried out at the end of the row. To do this, you need to pick it up with a free knitting needle. After that, with a working knitting needle, knit this edge knitting by picking it up by the back wall. Next, hem knitting is performed.
This method of addition enables uniform addition along the entire edge of the product. Repeat this technique on the next front row.
Adding from the loops of the previous row
This type of addition is made both at a certain point of the product, and over the entire area of the knitted fabric. How to add loops on the knitting needles in this way, we will learn further.
Having reached the place where it is necessary to make an increase, they pick up the loop from the previous row with a working knitting needle and knit it with the front one. Next, you need to knit a loop located above the just knitted one, and then all the other loops on the knitting needle.
This method can also be used in the decorative design of the product.
How to add loops along the edge of the canvas on the right and left?
This method is more suitable for knitting a neckline or armhole. Using it, you will get smooth, correct edges, which will be less drawn out.
Increases are performed in the front row. To do this, with a needle free from loops, hook the first loop and knit it with the front one. Now this knitted loop must be thrown from the right to the left knitting needle and knitted again in the front way. The addition is carried out in this way until the required number is reached.
This method can also be used when you need to increase several loops in a row.
And now let's find out how to add loops on the needles along the left edge of the fabric. Difficulties, like the previous method, this technique will not give you.
In this case, the additions are made at the end of the front row. Having finished knitting it, the thumb is wrapped around the working thread. Please note that its free end should be a continuation of the front wall of the resulting loop. Then, with the help of a working knitting needle, they pick up a thread located closer to you, cling to a section of the thread located farther from you, after which the thread is lowered from thumb and tighten on the spoke. It turns out a loop. Thus, the required number of loops is added. Necks connected in this way differ from others in their neatness and aesthetic appearance.
Now it will be easier for you to knit beautiful and unique things, because you know how to add loops on the knitting needles.
When knitting, it is possible to achieve a variety of patterns by combining different types loops, adding or reducing their number. There are several methods to reduce or increase the number of loops in knitting. And one of them is a simple broach.
You will need
- - yarn (to perform a broach, it is better not to take hefty smooth threads);
- - working knitting needles.
Instruction
1. First, understand the terminology of the word "broach". It so happened that in knitting two completely different ideas received one name. This word can mean part of the loop, or rather, the thread between the two loops on the right and left needles. Such a broach can be used when knitting to add loops. To do this, grab it with your left knitting needle and pull it with a movement away from you. Next, with the right knitting needle, grab the loop formed by the back wall and pull the working thread to the right side of the knitting. You have an extra loop on the right needle.
2. If by broach you mean the method of reducing loops, then keep in mind that they are primitive, double and even triple. A broach of 2 loops (a simple broach) is performed in the following way. Knit one stitch and slip it back onto the left needle. Insert the right needle from the right side of the knitting into the second loop, grab and pull the first through it. As a result, you have the second loop, which you will not knit in the next row, is tilted to the right. It turned out to be a simple stretch.
3. In order for the loop to be tilted to the left after knitting, insert the right knitting needle through two loops and pull the working thread through them to the front side of the fabric. It turned out that two loops are knitted together.
Note!
IN various sources broaches are called differently. A primitive broach can be called dual because of the number of loops knitted together. Consequently, the main thing is to orient yourself in a timely manner and correctly understand the meaning of what is written. Look at the diagram or in the presentation, how many loops are involved in the broach.
Helpful advice
If desired, the loops knitted together can be tilted both to the left and to the right. When tilted to the right, the same result is obtained as when performing a primitive broach. On the canvas, it is quite difficult to determine which of the methods you reduced the number of loops if they are tilted to the right. Consequently, from the presentation or drawing, you only need to figure out the direction of the loops, and how to reduce them - as the case turns up. The decision may depend on the convenience of performing this element for you personally.
First of all, let's define what we mean by the word broach. So, the point is that in the process of knitting using this method, you can reduce the loop. At the same time, there are plenty of types of loops in the simple art of knitting, and creating this or that product, they can be combined, and as a result, a wide variety of patterns can be obtained. In order for the patterns to come to life on the product, add or subtract the number of loops. At this moment, the broach helps, the thread passing between the loops and lying on the right knitting needle, and the loop on the left.
Instructions for knitting broach
- First, learn how to yarn over. To do this, bring the right knitting needle to the right under the working thread, on left side from the index finger, this should make a loop.
- If beautiful patterns should be present in the intended design, then it is necessary to make a purl loop. To do this, in the next row, the purl loop must be knitted over the crochet, and then a hole will be obtained. This hole gives rise to a large and beautiful openwork knitting.
Ways of knitting broach
There are several ways to knit a broach, but we will consider only three.
- In the first method, it is necessary to knit two loops from one, thus increasing the required number of loops. Knit a loop behind the back wall of the previous row, but do not pull the loops off the knitting needle. Then knit another loop in the same way, without removing the loops from the knitting needle and make a crochet. After that, knit the first loop to the new loop, but the front wall. Remove hinges.
- The second method is distinguished by its simplicity. It is much lighter than the first one. Here it is necessary to knit the first loop with the front one, and then knit the second loop without removing it from the knitting needle. Then pull the next loop through the first and remove, you get a broach. In this broach, you can knit a crochet in a different way. To do this, it is necessary to bring the right knitting needle under the working thread, in the direction from right to left and knit the wrong loop so that the total number of loops increases.
- The third way is also quite easy. Here it is necessary to remove the loop in the first row without knitting it. Then, on the second or subsequent row, purl over the loop on the first row. With this interlacing, you will get a pattern that has only two colors. The combination is quite simple and yet beautiful.
When experimenting with any of these broach knitting methods, you need to be sure that everything will turn out well!
More stretch options.
This is an option for knitting a loop from the broach of the bottom row.
Hello dear friends!
Today's post is for those who are interested in adding and decreasing stitches with knitting needles, and I know there are such comrades! For those who are not touched by these manipulations with the knitting needles at all, I beg your pardon - there will be no musical pause, its place will be taken by the playlist with the same additions and subtractions ...
By adding and subtracting loops, you can give the knitted fabric any shape - a circle, a rectangle, a square, a triangle, an oval ... But more often, these techniques are used to make the knitted product look the way we imagined it and sit on us like a glove.
Well, for this we must know and be able to add and decrease loops along the edges and inside the knitted fabric to the maximum imperceptibly.
Adding loops
Adding loops inside the fabric
Usually the increase of loops is not done in each row (so as not to pull the product), so it is best to do it on the right side of the knitting. And you can do this in several ways.
Method 1. Adding loops from the broach
The loop from the broach (thread between the loops) is knitted with the front behind the back wall. In this case, the loop is obtained and does not allow an unnecessary hole to form in the knitted fabric.
If, after prying the broach, we knit it with the usual front (behind the front wall), then a large hole in the canvas cannot be avoided. So be careful!
We pry the broach with the left knitting needle
We knit the front broach behind the back wall
A crossed loop is formed from the broach
Method 2. Adding loops from the crochet
A loop from a crochet made on the front side of the fabric will be hardly noticeable only if in the next (wrong) row we knit this yarn with a wrong loop behind the back wall.
Otherwise, we risk getting a decent openwork hole.
True, a very small hole is obtained even with a correctly knitted yarn loop. Therefore, it is still better to do such an addition not inside the canvas, but along the edges.

On the wrong side, we knit the yarn over with the wrong loop behind the back wall
Method 3. Adding loops from the previous row
Adding loops from the loop of the previous row is also one of the ways to add inconspicuously. In this case, the loop from the previous row is first knitted, and already after it the one that is on the knitting needle.
We hook the loop from the bottom row, pull it out and knit the front
Then we knit a loop from the usual row
Adding loops along the edge of the fabric
Method 1. Adding loops from the crochet
The addition of loops along the edge of the fabric with the help of a yarn is carried out in the same way as described above in METHOD 2. Only in this case, the yarn is made immediately after the edge loop, and at the end of the row - in front of it.
Method 2. Adding loops from hem
The addition of loops from the edge "is fraught" with the formation of knots along the edge, so it is best to use it when a dense edge is simply necessary (for sides, collars, belts ...)
To add a loop from the hem, you need to knit the hem first with the front behind the front wall, and then, without removing it from the knitting needle, knit it again with the front behind the back wall.
We knit the hem for the front wall
Without removing the loop from the knitting needle, we knit it again behind the back wall
To be honest, I have not yet used this method of adding loops in my practice.
Reducing loops
Reducing loops both inside the knitted fabric and along the edge is also best done from the front side of the product.
Loops are reduced by knitting two or three loops together. And there are several ways. After all, only ONE loop can be reduced IN THREE WAYS:
- Tilt to the right - we knit two loops together with the front;
- Leaning to the left - we remove the first loop as when knitting the front one, that is, from left to right, we knit the second loop with the front one and, picking up the removed loop with the left knitting needle, throw it on the knitted one.
By the way, this method is often called broach.
Increasing one loop with an inclination to the left
- Behind the rear walls we knit two loops together behind the back walls (it also turns out the slope of the loops to the left, only crossed).
For simultaneous decrease two loops You can also use as many as FOUR WAYS:
1. behind the front walls(tilt to the right).
2. Knitting three loops together with the front behind the back walls(tilt to the left).
3. Knitting three loops together Thus: we remove the first loop as when knitting the front, we knit the next two together with the front for the front walls and put the removed loop on them.
4. This method of decreasing is often used when knitting a neckline with a cape, as well as in various patterns. Once you figure out how it is performed, and it will not be scary anymore, I assure you:
A) we will remove three loops on the right knitting needle, we will introduce the left knitting needle before work into the second loop (first figure);
b) pull the right knitting needle from the third and second loops and immediately return the third loop to it (second figure);
V) return the third and first loops to the left knitting needle (third figure);
G) we knit three loops together with the front for the front walls (fourth figure);
e) on the wrong side we remove this loop without knitting (thread in front of the loop).
Fuuuuh! Looks like I got it!..
I hope now adding loops with knitting needles and decreasing loops with knitting needles will not be difficult and incomprehensible for you? Train, and this playlist will help you!
