How to tie a pigtail with knitting needles?

Know how to knit with knitting needles different patterns is very useful - with this skill you can put your whole family in beautiful, exclusive things. One of the simplest patterns is a scythe. Learning to knit with her knitting needles is not difficult, but it will very nicely decorate any knitted product.

How to connect the pattern "pigtail" with knitting needles?

Variants of knitted braids - just mass. Here are just some braided pigtail schemes.

For beginners, it is better to first learn to knit the simplest kind of braids.

How to tie a braided pattern with a cross to the right:

1. In order to perform this simple drawing, you first need to type on the spokes such a number of loops, which can be divided into two equal parts, when it's time to cross the loop.
2. For the test, we connect the braid on 6 loops. Please note that in addition to the two main spokes, you will need one additional one - with it we will cross over, transferring a part of the loops to it. This spoke must be open on both sides.
3. So, first, tie several rows, tying the hinges with the front surface, that will cross, the rest - with the wrong side. When you decide that it's time to do the first crossing - remove the 3 first ones from the edge of the loop to our auxiliary spoke by placing it at work.
4. The three subsequent loops are tied with the front, then take the hinges on the auxiliary spoke and also tie them with the front ones. It is possible to transfer the loops back to the main needle during work, or you can tie them straight from the auxiliary.
5. Next we knit the loops according to the pattern of the canvas to the height, when the next crossing is necessary. The traditional braid assumes that the number of rows between the crosses is equal to the number of loops from which the braid is formed. In our case it is 6 rows.

How to tie a pigtail with knitting needles and cross to the left:

1. In order to get a cross to the left, at the height where it is planned, we remove the first loops from the left knitting needle on the auxiliary spike 3 and place them before work.
2. The next 3 loops knit the facial, then we take into operation the loops from the auxiliary knitting needle (we tie it or from it, or transfer it back to the main knitting needle).
3. Next we continue to knit the loops according to the pattern of the canvas until the next crossing. We repeat all the same actions.

As you can see, knitted braids do not present any complexity. Having gained experience with a simple scythe, you can proceed to more complex and intricate drawings.
