What can knit garter stitch. We study garter knitting

Now not many women are fond of knitting. The times when our mothers and grandmothers knitted us socks, scarves and dresses, alas, passed. There is an abundance of clothes for children of all ages in the stores - there is no need, and there is no time to knit yourself.

Fortunately, the fashion for needlework and homework is back. If you master knitwear, you will know how to knit a hat, a scarf, and even booties for a baby. Shawl knitting, like knitting in general, is the most ancient art, and the name arose from the fact that women knitted shawls in such a way - bilateral and durable. To better master the new lesson - consider the scheme of garter knitting with needles.

All rows are knitted with face loops, so the canvas looks the same on both sides.

Type the required number of loops and knit as follows. The first loop is removed on the right needle, the following knit facial for the front wall. We knit the last one in the row with a purl loop, after which we turn the work and proceed to the second row. The remaining rows fit in as well.

If you have mastered the garterbinding pattern with knitting needles, try to knit a rather long canvas, for example, a scarf. If it’s not very clear yet and there are still questions - watch the tutorial video.

Below we offer a very simple and clear video of garter knitting, which will help you quickly get started.

However, many interesting models - scarves, vests, sweaters are knitted with both knitting and crocheting. Therefore, knowledge of the basic techniques of crochet you also come in handy. How a semi-column and single crochet fit together - our scheme will teach you.
  Polubic. Enter the hook into the second loop of the chain, grab the worker thread, pull the chain through the loop and the loop on the hook, and continue along the entire row.

Column without nakida. We enter the hook into the third loop of the chain, grab and pull the thread, make a nakid - that is, we again grab the thread with a hook, pull it through both loops and continue along the entire row.

We hope that the knitting and knitting techniques, as well as crochet techniques, will help you to express yourself in your work and create unique pieces of yarn for your relatives and friends.

One of the most popular and fascinating activities is knitting. Therefore, many who do not know how to knit, really want to learn. For experienced and novice knitters there is a unique option to create knitted masterpieces using simple knitting - garter.

Garter band is known for a long time. With it, women knit wonderful shawls. Beautiful, soft, durable. Most importantly, on both sides of the product, the drawing was identical. This quality is famous for the canvas fabric. The clear scheme allows you to knit various items very quickly. You do not have to constantly follow the picture, count rows and loops, read the description. It is important to start correctly, and then the pattern itself will suggest which loop to knit on.

Shawl knitting, as well as its description, is very simple. Its characteristics allow us to call this pattern unique. The remarkable thing can be connected only by this one pattern. Just need to "play" the diameter of the needles or yarn. A smooth transition from a thinner canvas to a bulk one will create unique waves. If they are arranged asymmetrically, then no one will even guess how this is done. Looks great and option, in which use a combination of this pattern with others - stocking, lace, relief and jacquard patterns. You can simply add fragments of these matings to the garter web.

What is more attractive garterbinding? When neat knitting with fine knitting and thread, knitters get the effect of knitted fabric. It is very important to maintain a uniform density of knitting. But the bulk model knit with large diameter knitting needles and thicker yarn. With this combination, you can afford to slightly "relax" knitting.

The scheme of a scarf pattern is considered one of the simplest. All rows are knitted with needles with one type of loops - purl or facial. Choose those that are more familiar and are smoother. The main condition is not to change the loop until you finish the product. Beginner knitters great help will provide a training video with a phased explanation.

Behind the simplicity of the pattern, important quality characteristics are hidden, for which a garter is valued. Needlewomen really need to pattern:

  • not stretched or deformed in the process of wearing;
  • provided products with volume and texture;
  • suitable for yarn of any thickness, structure and composition;
  • had a neat side edge, without twisting and pulling.

Shawl knitting meets all these requirements. In addition, the scheme of the picture and its photos are present in any magazine.

Before you knit a large thing, you need to learn how to properly and smoothly purl and facial loops. What you will knit is not important, in any case, the resulting product will look very harmonious.

Learning circular knitting method

To knit some products, you need the ability to work with the help of the needles on a fishing line (rope). Knitting in a circle requires compliance with certain conditions. First, it will not work to turn the canvas. Therefore, each row is obtained by the front. It is necessary to carefully monitor which wall to tie the loops so that they unfold and the knitting is even. Secondly, the circle will have to knit a shawl as a regular pattern, changing in turn in each row purl and facial loops. One view will not create the desired pattern.

There is no seam while working in a circle, but the transition to the next row in the product is noticeable. Decorate it from behind or on its side. To do everything correctly, before you work, watch the video with step-by-step instructions.

Type in the initial row of knitting needles convenient or familiar to you. The first action is the vyvyazyvanie control sample. The simplicity of the pattern does not release from an important stage. Gain from 10 to 20 loops and knit no more than 8-10 rows. Calculate the number of loops in one centimeter. Density is determined by the height and width of the sample. Now you are ready to start knitting. The resulting number of loops (width) multiply by the width of the model and type this number on the spokes.

Note! What kind of loops you knit the first row, so you need to knit and the rest.  In order to make a garter stitch look neat in the product, follow some recommendations:

  • knitting identity. The description of the scarf tie does not include instructions on how to knit loops (for which wall). Craftswomen choose one that is more comfortable for them. It is important to remember that each subsequent loop is knitted in the same way as the first. Only in this way the work will look neat and the canvas will not twist;
  • constant knitting density. Often at the beginning of training, young craftswomen try to knit tightly so that the product keeps its shape. However, more loose knitting can give your product originality. In addition, it will relieve tension from the hands;
  • competent design of the edge of the product. To do this, remove the first loop of the row without knitting (purl - behind the back wall). If done correctly, the side edge resembles a pigtail, as in the photo below;
  • when choosing a model, pay attention to the direction of mating. Knitting needles can be equally beautifully knit with transverse and longitudinal beds. Use on the knitted scarves and hats transverse arrangement, and the longitudinal - on sweaters and blouses. A combination of two types in one product looks creative.


If you are working with a garter for the first time, take a fluffy thread. Such a simple condition will allow to make a knitted thing with knitting needles more qualitatively. Long pile will hide inaccuracies in work. The pattern of the pattern for beginners is presented in the article.

Many women can knit well. But not all. Those who never took knitting needles or a hook in their hands are afraid that it is very difficult to tie a beautiful thing. To the aid of beginners or those who are limited in time, comes the pattern "garter knitting."

The name of the picture originated from the name of products made in such a way combinations of loops - scarves. Simple circuit  the shawl pattern made it possible to knit strong, beautiful things with an identical look on both sides. This is the main advantage of this method of mating. In the process of work there is no need to control the number of facial, purl loops, nakidov or decrease, read the complex description.


Characteristics of the unique mating

Although the pattern is very simple to perform, it can be called universal. Garter stitch can give the product originality and charm. With its help, it is well possible to diversify knitting, adding fragments of patterns to a smooth canvas. It perfectly combines openwork, jacquard patterns, reliefs, nets, and stockings.

If you choose to work thin knitting needles and yarn, then the output will be a kind of knitted fabric. Naturally, the quality of the knitter and accuracy will depend on its quality. Thicker yarn and knitting needles will give the model volume and texture. The transition from one diameter of the spokes to another will allow you to make beautiful waves. The pattern of the pattern is very simple - each row (hereinafter abbreviation P) fits into one type of loop (hereinafter referred to as P.). The main thing is that the entire canvas should be made either by face or purlor P. For beginners it is very useful to watch the video on the pattern. Despite the seeming simplicity, the scarving has many advantages over other patterns:

  • resistant to deformation and stretching;
  • has the ability to give the product volume;
  • is an excellent basic structure for knitting more complex patterns;
  • has a smooth, without twisting side edge;
  • suitable for any thickness and structure of the yarn;
  • you can easily find her description of knitting and photo drawing.

Before you begin to perform a scarf cloth, you need to learn how to properly knit P. Facial or purl, it does not matter. In any case, the canvas will be smooth and beautiful.

Getting started

A set of initial P garter web is carried out in any familiar way. First, on the sample, calculate the quantity P. necessary for the product. To do this, it is enough to dial 10 - 20 P. and knit 6 - 10 R. The calculation is necessary to calculate the number of P. in one centimeter. Then multiply the resulting figure by the width of the product. The final value is collected on the spokes.

If the first P begin facial P., then the second and subsequent, knit similarly. Knitting needles will look neat if:

  • observe the condition of the identity of the performance of always. The description, as a rule, does not contain instructions on which wall to knit P. Therefore, the choice is left to the skilled worker. But, each P mating must be done similarly to the first. In this case, the work will look good and not twist;


follow the uniform density of mating. Beginners needlewomen too tight P., trying to knit tighter. It is not necessary at all. More loose canvas has its own raisins. And relaxed hands will allow you to perform a garter stitch more professionally;

correctly make out the edge. To do this, starting with the second P, the first P. is removed without provoking. If it is wrong - it is removed for the back wall. The side edge will be in the form of a neat pigtail. This is clearly seen in the photo;

  • take into account the direction of knitting. Patterns form longitudinal grooves (the upper part of the purlins P.) Models can be associated with longitudinal or transverse arrangement of the beds. For scarves and hats, the cross-knit arrangement is better suited, for sweaters - longitudinal. The combination of both types in one model looks original.

For the first time, choose a fluffy yarn. This condition makes it easier to hide inaccuracies when mating and improve the quality of work. Simple scheme for beginners.


Circular method


Some products are knitted using circular knitting needles on a fishing line or cable. In order to qualitatively perform a scarve knitting in a circle, certain conditions are required. With this type of work there is no possibility to turn the canvas. Each P is obtained by the front. Therefore, P. look upside down. In this case, they need to knit for such a wall to unfold and get a smooth canvas. The second nuance is that a scarce pattern in a circle cannot be tied with one type of P. The rows are performed in turns with facial and back P.

With the circular knitting method there is no usual seam, but the place of transition from one P to another will be noticeable. It is better to place it on the side of the product or behind it. Videos that are posted by experienced masters will help to correctly implement all the recommendations.

Shawl knitting is an ideal pattern for knitters of any level. Each product will be original. Knitting density, P. knitting method is impossible to repeat. Therefore, do not be afraid to get the same model.

  About garterbinding

Shawl connection - this is the most basic and simple pattern of all types of knitting, it is from him that the training of needlewomen begins. Scarce knitting has a number of advantages and features in comparison with other types of product creation:

  • The canvas is two-sided, that is, the front and the wrong side are absolutely identical. This feature is very convenient when knitting double-sided collars to autumn coats, slats, or knitting scarf-collar.
  • The drawing is slightly vertical, creating a kind of harmonica out of yarn, which makes winter clothes even warmer and look more voluminous.
  • The finished work turns out to be soft and pleasant to the body, which allows you to use scarf knitting when working on baby booties, blouses or scarves.
  • To learn a platomas pattern, it is enough to know how to fasten the facial loops, which are used in the front and in the back row.
  • Also, knitting allows you to create a product without peeping into the scheme, which is very convenient on the initial pores. For a detailed acquaintance with the picture, check out the presented master class and training videos below.

  Knitting needles - a set of loops

Getting started to work, for knitting we need knitting needles and a skein of wool. To the product turned out neat and beautiful pattern, pick up the needles of 4-4.5 mm. Thread for training should be single and not very fluffy. The set of loops of the initial row will be made on one needle.

  • Unwind the right amount of thread, for the first 15 loops you will need 15 cm of yarn.
  • The first step is to insert the thread correctly. To do this, on the left hand, grip the yarn with your index finger, create tension by throwing the thread on your thumb. To hold the tangle, make the girth of the strand with three fingers (Fig. 1).
  • Perform a set of loops - swipe a needle under the thread and perform a seizure (Fig.2.3).
  • Then twist the strands near the index finger (Fig. 4).
  • Dive again under the thread near the thumb (Fig.5)
  • Then tighten the knot with two fingers (Fig.6). Dial the required number of loops with this technique. Knitting is carried out with light movements, without tightening the loop too tight.


  Knitting needles - facial loops

The loop has two walls, the front is considered the front side, located closer to you. The back is called the wall, which hold the fingers. When knitting facial loops, the first grippers are performed from the front side.

  • Take the needles correctly - grab the part of the thread that stretches from the ball and throw it on the front side of the little finger, follow the entanglement. Then intercept the thread from the inside, throwing on the index finger, you should get the tension of the thread. Put the knitting needle on two fingers, holding large and medium. In this position, the hands perform knitting products (Fig. 1).
  • For a beautiful edge of the first loop strung on the needle with a simple removal (Fig. 2).
  • We carry out knitting - from under the bottom, put the needle into the middle of the loop (Fig. 3).
  • Grab the thread on the index finger (Fig. 4)
  • Swipe the needle down and return to the starting position.
  • Then you can remove the loop on the second needle. (pic.5,6).
  • Tie all the loops to the end, fasten the last one in the wrong way. Then turn the work over and again knit a row of facial loops. A knitted garment is created in this way.


Knitting is a relatively simple and fun process. And the results are quite interesting and original. Each master of this needlework began with the basics - stocking and garter knitting. About the last and will be discussed further.

Types of loops

Purl stitch

The previous example shows how to knit a scarce knit with facial loops. But this is not the only way. Wrong loops, knitted in each row, give the same effect.

Just traditionally it turned out that the masters prefer to use facial loops, because they are considered the first to be mastered, wanting to learn to knit.

At the same time, by the appearance of the product you cannot say whether it was connected with facial or back loops.

When knitting a garter web, it is worth starting from what the loops of the master are more even and not stretched. If it is purl, then it is better to knit the product with them, because the scarves can clearly see the defects and irregularities associated with stretching or tightening the loops.

Shawl knitting in a circle

More experienced craftsmen may have a question about how to perform a garter knitting in a circle. After all, with the usual knitting it is enough just to turn the fabric over. In fact, this is nothing complicated, but there are some nuances.

As with any other knitting in a circle, the master will face twisted loops. To get a product with a classic appearance, it will be necessary to knit them so that the base of the loop is not twisted. This is achieved by inserting the knitting needles into the eyelet on the opposite side, as if unwinding it.

Next, you need to choose an inconspicuous place of the seam. This can be either a side seam, or any other place that will be hidden from people's eyes. The thing is that the place of transition from one row to another will be a little noticeable.

And most importantly, knitting garter knitting in a circle requires the master to alternate the front and back rows of loops, since it is not possible to turn the canvas, and all the work takes place on the front side of the product.

Mating direction

It is worth remembering that the scheme of knitting garter knitting provides for the presence on the surface of longitudinal grooves, which are formed by the tops of the purl loops. Therefore, the decorative effect depends on the direction of knitting.

In scarves and hats, it is better to use the cross-knitting method. It is simpler and easier, and the products are beautiful and compact, with a small margin of stretch in length.

But in sweaters and sweaters, you can try to combine longitudinal and transverse knitting. But on wide products long needles are required, without which the work will turn into a real hard labor.

To make the pattern slim, you can have a whole sweater or a longitudinal garter stitch. You can add lightness and openwork due to the use of knitting needles for several numbers larger than the number of yarn requires. This effect is actively used in downy shawls. Here you can also find the most difficult version of the mating - diagonal. It requires the master to give maximum attention and a great knitting experience.

Little tricks

In various manuals on needlework often found scarf knitting. The scheme, the description of which is included in the description of the product, is quite simple, but does not always contain some nuances.

First, it is almost impossible to repeat the described product. There are several reasons for this: the yarn mismatch in the description and the master, different needles numbers, knitting style (tendency to tighten or fluff the loops). Therefore, you should never blindly follow finished circuit. There is always room for improvisation, making the product more unique.

Secondly, starting the garter knitting, learn how to perfectly knit loops. The elongated and tightened loops standing side by side create the effect of an inaccurate handicraft.

Third, practice soft non-fluffy yarn. It shows better errors. At the same time, the first full-fledged products are best performed from fluffy threads. They will hide small flaws and will look more neat.
