Knitting is a fun activity. To create exclusive products yourself, you need to learn how to knit basic types of loops and master reading patterns. Knitting conventions and their decoding are the key to understanding what to do and in what order.
How to Read Knitting Patterns
A knitting pattern is a picture drawn on a sheet of paper in a checkered pattern with symbols. It allows you not to describe each element in words and abbreviations. Each cell is a loop. Each type has its own symbol. The symbols of loops when knitting need to be read in the front rows from right to left, in the purl rows - from left to right. The number of rows is indicated by numbers on the right. The number of loops in width is indicated in numbers below. Each row of cells is a row in knitting. The number of cells in a row is the width of the knitting; how many loops need to be cast on.
The diagrams indicate the number of rows required to form a pattern that should be repeated. All other instructions will be in the description.
Rapport is a repeating element of a pattern. Marked with square brackets, arrows, and the letters MS. Marked with asterisks in the description. The diagrams indicate the facial rows.
Conventions in knitting
To understand the pattern, you need to remember the symbols for knitting. There are not many basic icons: an empty square, triangles to the right and left, filled or not, a circle, vertical and horizontal lines, diamonds, filled or not, slanted lines to the right or left with an additional line to the right or left.
List of types of loops:
- facial;
- purl;
- yarn over;
- two together face left;
- two together facing right;
- two together purl to the left;
- two together purl to the right;
- facial crossed;
- purl crossed;
- edge;
- three together facial;
- purl three together;
- cross to the right;
- cross to the left;
- remove on an auxiliary knitting needle before work;
- remove on an auxiliary knitting needle at work.
Facial
The simplest loop is the front one. The symbol is an empty square or a vertical line. To knit, you need to insert the right knitting needle into the loop on the left knitting needle from left to right, hook the working thread, which should be behind the work on the index finger. Next, pull the thread through the loop and throw it onto the right knitting needle.
Two together with an inclination. Knit in the same way as a single one, only the right knitting needle is inserted into two loops on the left knitting needle at once. The symbol is a black triangle or an inclined line to the left/right and a dash perpendicular to it to the right or left.
The tilt can be to the right or left, this is done to decrease it in the desired direction. To tilt to the right, the right needle is inserted into the loops from left to right.
With a tilt to the left - the first loop is removed on the needle on the right, the next one is knitted with the front one, and the removed one is thrown onto the knitted one.
Crossed - indicated by the image of a loop. To perform this, the right knitting needle is inserted into the loop on the left needle from right to left, the working thread is hooked, and pulled through. The symbol is a black diamond.
Shifted - formed after knitting a decrease or two loops together. Their location is moved compared to the original one. The icon is an inclined line to the right or left.
Purl
When knitting this type of element, the working thread should be in front of the work. The right knitting needle must be inserted into the loop on the left knitting needle from right to left, wrapped with a working thread and pulled through. The symbol is a horizontal line.
To knit two together, you need to transfer first one loop from the left knitting needle to the right one, then the other. Then remove them again with the left knitting needle so that they change places, knit by inserting the right knitting needle into both at once from right to left. Designation – an open triangle with the lower corner to the left. This is a left-leaning option.
Two together with a tilt to the right - we knit two elements in one step with a purl stitch, insert the right knitting needle from right to left. Designation – an open triangle with the lower corner to the right.
Crossed ones are obtained by inserting the right knitting needle from left to right from the back side of the loop, then we hook the working thread and pull it through. Designation is an open diamond.
Shifted ones are formed when two or three loops are knitted together; there are fewer of them on the knitting needle, so the remaining ones are shifted to the left or right. There is no specific symbol because they are formed by knitting two or three together, knit or purl.
Yarn over
The yarn over symbol is a circle. There are capes for yourself and for yourself. We are talking about moving a knitting needle. Which type should be knitted is indicated in the description. With the help of this element, increases are made and an openwork knit is created. There are double and triple yarn overs.
. ) In the beginning, looking at a knitting pattern can be very confusing — is that a foreign language it is written in?
Well, no, but it is the special language of knitting, which uses many abbreviations and terms, which save space and make patterns easier to read. So the first thing you need to do is become familiar with the knitting abbreviations.
Some of them are easy to understand, like these:
Basic Stitch Abbreviations
K or k = knit stitch
P or p = purl stitch
A complete list of knitting abbreviations and terms and their meaning can be found at ( A complete list of abbreviations, terms and their meanings for knitting can be found here ) : www.YarnStandards.com.
Terms represent things you are to do, like these: |
|
---|---|
CO = Cast on |
(This is how you begin each knitted piece.) |
BO = Bind off |
(This is how you finish most knitted pieces. Binding off is sometimes |
Inc = Increase |
(Add one or more stitches. The most basic increase is to work in the front, and then again in the back, of the same stitch. This can be done in both knit and purl stitches.) |
Dec = decrease |
(Eliminate one or more stitches. The most basic decrease is to work two stitches together as one. This can be done in both knit and purl stitches. Different ways of increasing and decreasing change the way the project will look, and most designers have a specific method in mind. So usually your pattern will tell you how to do this.) |
Rep = repeat |
(Do the same thing again the number of times stated in the pattern.) |
Sl = Slip |
(Slip a stitch or stitches from one needle to the other, without working it.) |
YO = yarn over |
(Take the yarn over the needle.) |
Tog = together |
(Work 2 or more sts together, forming a decrease.) |
Work even Maintain pattern as established |
This is usually used when you are working a pattern stitch and are increasing (or decreasing) at the edges. It means that you keep the center part in the pattern as you have already set it up, and will add (or subtract) stitches at each end without disturbing that pattern. When enough new stitches have been added, they should be incorporated into the pattern. |
Getting Started
With the abbreviations and terms at hand, let’s look at a typical knitting pattern. Knitted items can be worked back and forth in rows to form a flat piece, or in rounds to form a tube with no seams, such as socks or hats. Special needles are used to work in rounds.
Let's start by working a flat piece.
First the instructions will tell you to cast on a certain number of stitches.
But wait - before you can start casting on, you must place a slip knot on one of the needles.
Patterns never tell you to do this - they just assume you know it. Here’s how you make a slip knot (See Figures 1 & 2).
There are many methods of casting on. Some give a nice stretchy edge;
others give a firm base. Unless the pattern tells you differently, use the method you were first taught.
Now let’s look at a typical pattern.
Diagrams are always read from bottom to top. The rows are read alternately, first from right to left, then from left to right, or accordingly focusing on the row number. Circular rows are always read from right to left. Rapport or, accordingly, repeats are repeated in width. The rows are repeated in height as indicated in the instructions next to the diagram. If the diagram does not show edge loops, then to make the edge with “knots” or “chains” they need to be cast on additionally. If thick vertical lines are highlighted on the diagram grid, then between them there is a repeat that should be repeated. The loops outside the lines are extreme for the corresponding pattern; they need to be knitted only at the beginning and end of the row.
List of abbreviations:
n. = loop
R. = row
faces = front
purl = purl
aux. = auxiliary
resp. = corresponding
track. = next
"width="297" /> How to read diagrams for patterns
The patterns are presented in the form of diagrams on which loops are indicated by cells: 1 cell - 1 loop.
The patterns are read from bottom to top: in the front rows (odd) - from right to left, in the back rows (even) - from left to right. Thus, the alternation of cells in the diagram corresponds to the alternation of loops when knitting.
The numbers on the sides of the pattern indicate the number of rows, that is, the sequence in which you need to knit. On the right are the numbers for the front rows, on the left - for the purl rows. In most pattern schemes, there is no recording of even rows (purl rows), i.e. Only the front rows are shown. In these cases, in the purl rows the loops are knitted according to the pattern, that is: the purl loops are knitted, the knit loops are knitted, the yarn overs are knitted purl. If there are exceptions to this rule or any special features, they are indicated directly next to the diagram.
If the purl rows are reflected in the diagram, then the loops are knitted as indicated.
How to knit this or that loop is explained with icons, the decoding of which is given in a general list.
The repeat reflects the number of stitches in width that will be needed to create the pattern. Rapport is marked on the diagrams with arrows or vertical lines. In the description of the pattern, repeat is usually marked with asterisks * *.
They start knitting with loops before repeat, then repeat repeat loops as many times as necessary to achieve the desired width of the product, and end with loops after repeat.
The diagram shows the height of the number of rows required to form the pattern. The given rows should be repeated all the time. Exceptions to this rule are indicated directly next to each diagram.
The two outermost (edge) loops are not included in the number of loops forming the pattern; they should be taken into account only when casting on loops. As a rule, edge loops are indicated by a + sign.
If the diagram does not show edge loops, then to make the edge with “knots” or “chains” they need to be cast on additionally.
When reading a diagram (usually a diagram of openwork patterns), you may come across the concept of “no loop” (empty cell). Such designations are introduced for ease of recording (to maintain the rectangular shape of the pattern) and are not taken into account when knitting. You just need to knit in order, not paying attention to the gaps in the pattern. If, for example, according to the pattern there is a front loop, then an empty square, then a purl loop, then you need to knit: a front loop, a purl loop and so on.
Answers to the most frequently asked questions we receive
1. What is rapport?
Rapport is an element of a pattern consisting of a certain number of loops and rows, the repetition of which creates the overall pattern. Those. rapport is a completed fragment of a pattern, repeating which during the knitting process we get the overall pattern.
Let’s take as an example the simplest pattern - a 2x2 elastic band (2 knit loops, 2 purl loops alternate).
The repeat of this pattern will be = knit 2, purl 2.
For this pattern, the number of loops must be a multiple of 4 + 2 edge stitches. Let's say we cast on 18 loops (16+2).
We knit: edge, repeat, repeat, repeat, repeat, edge.
In a text entry for a pattern, the rapport is usually concluded between *. In the diagram for the pattern, repeat is usually highlighted with a black vertical line or arrows.
When calculating the required number of loops for the selected model, be sure to take into account the number of loops in the pattern repeat in order to position the pattern repeat on the part symmetrically.
2. What does "no loop" mean?
Such designations are introduced for ease of recording (to maintain the rectangular shape of the pattern) and are not taken into account when knitting. You just need to knit in order, not paying attention to the gaps in the pattern. If, for example, according to the pattern there is a front loop, then an empty square, then a purl loop, then you need to knit: a front loop, a purl loop and so on.
3. What does it mean to “knit loops according to the pattern”?
Knitting loops according to a pattern means knitting loops as you see: purl stitches with purl loops, knit stitches with knit stitches, yarn overs on the wrong side are knitted with purl stitches.
There are a number of rules in drawing up knitting patterns:
1. The numbers of odd rows are indicated to the right of the diagram. Usually only odd rows are indicated; they indicate the front side of the product. This is done to make it easier to see the pattern that should be obtained during the knitting process.
2. The numbers of even rows are indicated on the diagrams on the left. They indicate the wrong side.
3. Even rows, or also called purl rows, are knitted according to the pattern. This means that if you have a purl stitch in front of you, then knit it purl, and if it is a knit stitch, then knit it with a knit stitch.
4. To designate repeating fragments in the diagram, use the concept of “rappot”. On diagrams, rappot is usually indicated by two arrows showing its beginning and end. Rappot means that the loops between the arrows are repeated in the row the required number of times.
5. Knitting always goes from bottom to top, from right to left.
6. Edge loops are not indicated on the diagrams.
In order to figure out how to knit all these squares, arrows, and dashes, let’s take a closer look at how to knit a pattern using a simple “Chess” pattern. Let's knit this pattern according to the diagram.
The following symbols are given before the diagram:
- front loop
- purl loop
Having made sure that, in addition to the basic loops, knitting this pattern does not require knowledge of complex techniques, we move on. Let's look at the diagram carefully:
We notice that at the bottom of the first row there are two arrows - this is a designation of rappot. This means that if we knit a fabric with this pattern, for example a scarf, then we will need to cast on the knitting needles a number of loops that is a multiple of eight (the number of squares between the arrows) plus two edge loops. In our case, we will cast on twelve loops for knitting the pattern, and two edge stitches.
First row
One edge loop (not indicated in the diagram);
four facial loops;
purl four;
four facial loops;
we knit the last fourteenth loop of the edge loop (not indicated in the diagram).
Second row
four purl stitches (the knit stitches knitted in the first row on the wrong side look like purl stitches);
four facial;
four purl loops;
knit the last edge loop (not shown in the diagram)
We knit rows from the third to the eighth in the same way as the first and second rows. From the ninth row the pattern changes:
Ninth row
Remove the first loop, the edge loop (not shown in the diagram);
four purl loops;
four facial loops;
four purl loops;
Tenth row
The second row is not indicated in the diagram, so we knit it according to the pattern:
remove the first loop, the edge loop (not shown in the diagram);
four knit stitches (the purl stitches knitted in the ninth row on the wrong side look like knit stitches);
four purl loops;
four facial loops;
knit the last edge loop (not shown in the diagram).
Rows eleven through sixteen are knitted similarly to rows nine and ten. Having knitted the sixteenth row, close the loops. Our sample is ready.
Now that you have mastered the basics, you can move on to knitting using more complex patterns.
FEATURES WHEN KNITTING http://www.kroshe.ru/sp_osob.php
Conventions used in knitting patterns in descriptions.
001_Facial
002_Purl
003_Nakid There are two methods of performing a yarn over: moving the knitting needle “towards you” and “away from you”. As a rule, in knitting, a yarn over is used “on your own”, and if the pattern does not require this yarn over, then this must be specified in the conditions of this pattern. If the yarn over is necessary so that a hole or openwork is formed in its place, then in the purl row we knit it behind the back wall
Crossed loops
004_Crossed (crossed) knit stitch This loop is knitted in the same way as the front one, only in this case the right knitting needle is inserted from behind the front wall from right to left.

097_100_Trefoil from elongated loops
In the second front row, we insert the right knitting needle into the loop two front rows below (into the loop of the third row). Grab the working thread and pull a long loop to the right side, leaving it on the right needle. Knit the next knit stitch on the left needle. Insert the right needle again into the same loop from which the previous long loop was pulled. Pull another long loop to the right side, leaving it on the right needle. Knit another knit stitch again on the left needle. And again, use the right needle to pull out a long loop from the same point. In the next purl row, knitting to long elongated loops, knit them along two together with a purl loop, in pairs, thus “attaching” long elongated loops to the canvas.
Removed loops

"Butterflies"
105_ “Butterfly” of three broaches based on 3 elongated loops
In the first purl row, we transfer the working thread to the front side. We transfer three purl loops from the right knitting needle to the left one without knitting, transfer the working thread to the wrong side again and continue knitting the row with purl loops (make sure that the broach remaining on the front side does not tighten the knitting). We knit the next front and back rows in the same way, removing three elongated loops and laying a broach on the front side in front of the elongated loops. In the fourth row, knit the first elongated loop. Next, using one loop, we knit together the middle loop and all three broaches located on the front side. We knit the third elongated loop with a knit stitch. We knit the row to the end with facial loops.
106_ “Butterfly” of three broaches based on 5 elongated loops Having knitted the background loops in the purl row, we transfer all five purl loops from the right knitting needle to the left, having previously transferred the working thread to the front side (we make sure that the broach does not tighten the fabric and is no less in length than the width of the five loops). In the next front row we knit all the loops. We knit the next rows in the same way as the previous ones to get two more broaches. In the last (6th front row) we knit the first two removed loops. Then we insert the left knitting needle under all three broaches, starting from the bottom one, and knit them together with the middle knit stitch with a knit stitch. We knit the next two removed loops with knit stitches.
107_Crossed yarn over
Grab the working thread lying on the right knitting needle and the index finger of the left hand with the right knitting needle in the area below the index finger, and pull it towards the knitting. Remove the loop from the index finger, swapping the front and back walls of the loop (turning the loop 180 degrees) and put the resulting crossed loop on the right knitting needle.
108_Extended loops
With two turns
With three turns
Insert the right needle into the loop on the left needle. Wrap the working thread around the right needle twice. After this, throw the loop over the right knitting needle and knit the required number of elongated loops. Turn the knitting over to the wrong side. Knit elongated loops twisted into a spiral like regular purl loops, “unraveling” one yarn over.
Horizontal elongated loops
109_Loop extended to the left
These three loops must first be knitted, then the left knitting needle must be inserted into the gap between the third and fourth loops. We pick up the working thread and pull it out in the form of a long loop to the front side, leaving it on the left knitting needle. We slip the last loop from the right knitting needle to the left one and throw the elongated loop over it. Then we transfer it to the right knitting needle again.
110_Loop extended to the right
Without knitting the covered three loops, insert the end of the right needle into the gap between the third and fourth loops on the left needle. Use the right knitting needle to hook the working thread, as when knitting a knit stitch, and pull it to the right side. After that, knit it together with the first knit stitch. And only after that knit the second and third loops.
Obliquely elongated loops
111_Loop obliquely extended to the left
Having knitted these three covered loops in the front working row, we insert the left knitting needle into the gap between 3 and 4 loops 1 row below the working one and pull out a long loop on the front side. We transfer the elongated loop from the left knitting needle to the right one and embed it in the working row. We knit the front row to the end and turn the knitting to the wrong side. We knit the second working purl row to the elongated loop, knit it together with the first of the three covered loops, purl two together. We finish the purl row.
112_An obliquely extended loop to the right
Having knitted up to three covered loops, we insert the right knitting needle under the left one in the gap between 3 and 4 loops. We grab the working thread and pull out a long loop on the front side, which we leave on the right knitting needle. Having knitted the three covered loops with facial loops, we finish the first facial working row. Turning the work to the wrong side, we knit a purl row. Having knitted two of the three covered loops, we swap the third and elongated loops. We knit the third covered and elongated loop with two loops together, purlwise.
Two loops clasped with a yarn over
113_Two loops clasped with a yarn over and tilted to the left
Having knitted the row to the location of the element, we make a yarn over “from ourselves”. We knit the next two knit stitches. Using the left knitting needle we hook up the previously made yarn over, lift it and transfer it (toss it) over the 2 knit stitches behind it.
114_Two loops clasped with a yarn over and tilted to the right
We knit the purl row to the location of the element, make a yarn over “on ourselves” and knit two loops with purl stitches. Using the left knitting needle we pick up the previously made yarn over and lift it. We transfer the yarn over through the two purl stitches that follow it and knit the purl row to the end.
Crocheted Double Rings
115_Encircled rings with double crochet to the left
Having knitted the front row to the track of 3 front loops, we transfer all three front loops from the left knitting needle to the right one, after which we use the left knitting needle to pick up the first loop of the track and throw it over the second and third. We return the remaining two loops to the left knitting needle. We knit the second loop of the track, make a yarn over “from ourselves” and knit the third loop of the track.
115 a_Encircled rings with a double crochet to the left, knitted with a slant to the right together with the previous loop
Having knitted the front row to the track of 3 front loops, remove 1 loop unknitted, then move all three front loops from the left knitting needle to the right one, after which we use the left knitting needle to pick up the first loop of the track and throw it over the second and third. We return the remaining two loops to the left knitting needle and also return 1 slip stitch before the knit 3 stitch on the left needle. We knit the second loop of the track together with the previous loop (tilting to the right), make a yarn over “from ourselves” and knit the third loop of the track.
115 b_Encircled rings with a double crochet to the left, knitted with a slant to the left along with the next loop
Having knitted the front row to the track of 3 front loops, we transfer all three front loops from the left knitting needle to the right one, after which we use the left knitting needle to pick up the first loop of the track and throw it over the second and third. We return the remaining two loops to the left knitting needle. We knit the second loop of the track, make a yarn over “from ourselves” and knit the third loop of the track together with the loop that follows the track of 3 loops (tilting to the left).
116_Circle rings with double crochet to the right
We perform 2-3 rows of a path of three facial loops along the purl field. Having reached the track, with the right knitting needle we pick up the third loop of the track and throw it over the first two. We knit the first knit stitch. We make a yarn over “from ourselves” between the first and second facial loops, knit the second facial loop.
116 a_Encircled rings with a double crochet to the right, knitted with a slant to the left along with the next loop

We make a yarn over “from ourselves” between the first and second knit stitches, knit the second knit loop together with the next loop (tilting to the left).
116 b_Encircled rings with a crochet to the right, knitted with a tilt to the right together with the previous loop
We perform 2-3 rows of a path of three facial loops along the purl field. Not reaching the track by 1 loop, remove 1 loop not knitted, use the right knitting needle to pick up the third loop of the track and throw it over the first two. We return 1 removed loop to the left knitting needle, insert the right knitting needle from the side of the first loop of the track of 3 loops and knit it together with the previous knit stitch (2 knit stitches together tilted to the right). We make a yarn over “from ourselves” between the first and second facial loops, knit the second facial loop.
Two loops clasped with a crochet on the side
117_Two loops clasped with a crochet on the left side
Having knitted part of the front row to the location of the element, first we knit two front loops, which will later be encircled and again transfer them to the left knitting needle. Then, using the right knitting needle, we pry up the third unknitted loop from the back side and, slightly stretching it, transfer it (throw it) over the previous two. We re-slip the knitted loops from the left knitting needle to the right one, yarn over “from ourselves” and finish the front row.
118_Two loops clasped with a crochet on the side on the right
Having knitted part of the front row to the location of the element, use a working thread to yarn over in the direction “away from you”. After this, we insert the right knitting needle into the first loop and move it from the left knitting needle to the right one, simultaneously unfolding it. Since we have not knitted this loop and are not going to knit it, it will be considered pulled from the previous row. The working thread remains behind the removed loop. We knit the second and third stitches behind the front wall. With the left knitting needle we pick up the first removed loop and transfer it (throw it) through the second and third knitted loops.

Crossed knit stitch to the right on purl stitch
Without removing the first purl loop from the left knitting needle, insert the right knitting needle into the front loop of the chain from behind. Hooking the front loop onto the back wall, we knit it face crossed. We knit a purl loop purl.
122_Combined harness of 5 loops
Swap the loops:
a) remove the purl loop for extra. knitting needle at work, knit the knitting needle crossed, and purl the knitting needle until, without knitting, we remove it to the right knitting needle
b) remove the purl (central) one on the right knitting needle, the knitting needle crossed on the additional one. Before work, without knitting the knitting needle, we put it on the right knitting needle.
c) facial with additional put the knitting needles on the left knitting needle
d) now we slip 3 purl loops back onto the left knitting needle and knit a combination from them: yarn over, knit 3 together (2nd loop on top (see above)), yarn over. All that remains is to knit the knitted stitch.
Knit with pleasure!
Many people believe that knitting is less difficult than crocheting, and that the finished products look “simpler.” I fundamentally disagree with this belief.
You can use knitting needles to make many beautiful openwork and original patterns!
But in order for the product to turn out beautiful, first of all you need to understand the diagram and its symbols.
Basic symbols and their description
I think that even those who have never picked up knitting needles know very well that knitting in this way is based on two types of loops - knit and purl. Let's start with them.
Face loop
When knitting a purl loop, the thread should be in front of the work. In order to knit a purl loop, you need to insert the right knitting needle into the loop in the direction from right to left and wrap the thread around the knitting needle, as shown in the figure. This new turn needs to be pulled into a loop from the left knitting needle, and the resulting new loop must be transferred to the right knitting needle.
Widely used in knitting yarn overs.
Yarn over
In order to make a yarn over, before knitting the next loop in the front row, you need to throw the working thread on the right knitting needle - you get an additional loop. After this, in the purl row you need to knit the yarn over with a purl loop.
By arranging the resulting holes in a certain order, you can get a beautiful openwork pattern.
In order to get a larger hole, perform a double or triple yarn over. You need to perform yarn overs carefully, because... If you get it wrong just once, the drawing will be ruined.
In addition to the classic knit and purl stitches, there are also crossed knit and purl stitches. They were given this name because the walls of these loops are crossed at the base. In this regard, they are more complex than classical ones.
Crossed knit loop
In order to knit a crossed knit stitch, you need to insert the right knitting needle into the loop on the left knitting needle in the direction from right to left. Grab the working thread, pull it through the loop, and transfer it to the right needle.
Thus, the crossed front loop is performed in the same way as the classic one, but behind the back wall, and not behind the front.
Crossed purl stitch
In order to knit a crossed purl stitch, you need to insert the right needle into the loop on the left needle in the direction from right to left. In this case, the thread should be in front of the loop.
Next, you need to grab the thread, pull it through the loop, and transfer it to the right knitting needle.
By changing the usual sequence of stitches in a row, patterns with displaced stitches are obtained. Happening loop shift, creating a pattern design.
Conventionally, this is indicated as follows:
Shift knit stitches to the right
Shift knit stitches to the left
Shift purl stitches to the right
Shift purl stitches to the left
To cut in loop pattern, knit several loops together at once.
If you knit two loops together, the pattern will be reduced by one loop, if you knit three loops together, then by two, etc.
Two loops together, knitted to the right
In order to knit two stitches together with a knit stitch slanted to the right, you need to pass the right knitting needle through two loops on the left knitting needle in the direction from left to right, grab the working thread and knit a loop in the direction away from you. The result was a tilt to the right. Slip stitches off left needle.
Two loops together knitted with a slant to the left
In order to knit two stitches together with a knit stitch to the left, you need to remove the first of the two loops from the knitting needle, turn it over and return it to the left knitting needle. Insert the right needle into two loops from right to left, grab the working thread away from you, and pull the loop through. The tilt was to the left. Slip stitches off left needle.
Purl two stitches together and slant to the right
In order to knit two purl loops with a slant to the right, you need to remove two loops from the left knitting needle to the right one (the thread in this case should be in front of the work), swap places, insert the right knitting needle into these loops from left to right. Grab the working thread away from you and knit a loop. The tilt will be to the right.
Purl two stitches together and slant to the left
In order to close the loops in this way, you need to knit the edge (first in the row) loop at the beginning of the front row and the next one behind it, together with the front one behind the back walls. Thus, one loop should form on the right needle.
You need to transfer it to the left knitting needle, knit it together with the next loop, and so on until all the loops of the last row are closed.
To secure, pull the end of the cut thread through the last loop.
So, these are the basic, basic designations and their description when knitting.
Many magazines use their own legends, which are usually placed either at the beginning or at the end of the magazine.
The most common designations in magazines
Conventions in Japaneseknitting patterns
Probably every knitter has found herself in such a situation that she found a wonderful pattern, but it had Japanese symbols.
This is not surprising, because most often Japanese magazines are famous for their good models and detailed diagrams. And it’s a shame not to use these wonderful models just because you couldn’t understand the description.
First in Japanese magazines it is given yarn description.
This symbol means yarn. In Japan, the most common skeins of yarn are 25 or 40 g.
This table shows the exact sizes of Japanese knitting needles that you need to focus on when choosing suitable knitting needles.
