Pattern "Scales" with knitting needles

Even beginning needlewomen know that knitting with knitting needles is not only a useful skill, but also a very exciting activity, especially when you are engaged in tying out any pattern - whether flat or bulky . Speaking about the latest trends in the field of patterned knitting, one can not help but dwell on the patterns imitating the scales of fish and reptiles. We'll talk about how to connect the pattern of "Scales" with knitting needles today.

"Scales" - pattern with knitting needles with description

Patterns, with which you can create the effect of "scaly" invented a huge variety. We will dwell on a fairly simple version of the knitting pattern "Scale" with spokes, which is subject to even the most inexperienced knitters. In our variant, the flakes will be weaved by garter stitching.

For knitting we will need:

Let's get to work:

  1. The canvas when knitting with a pattern of "Scales" is not knitted along the whole width from edge to edge, but stripes from scales to scales. Each individual flake is bound according to the schemes given below. According to scheme 1, half-scales will be removed, and according to scheme 2 - full-scale scales. To make the pattern beautiful and neat, all the loops in it must be equally elongated.
  2. To make the loops in the first row turn out to be neat and equally elongated, we will type this row with a hook. We type on the spokes of 20 stitches with a white thread and we sew the first row with the facial smoothness. Next, we continue to work on Scheme 2, doing a reduction at the beginning and end of each row. We knit by the scheme, while in work there will be only three loops left. We etch them together and proceed to knitting the next scales.
  3. For the first row of the second scales, we collect on one side of the previous 10 loops, and 10 more with the help of a hook. Thus we get a series set for the second flake, from which we begin to work according to scheme 2.
  4. After the strip has enough flakes, we finish the strip with a half-scaly, connected according to the scheme 1.
  5. Now you need to return the work thread to the beginning of the first row. For this purpose, on the free sides of the scales, we take 10 loops on the circular knitting needles. To knit another scales (in our case number 5) we get 10 more loops on the spokes.
  6. We knit flake number 5, using 10 stitched loops + 10 loops from circular spokes. The other loops on the circular knitting needles still remain unused.
  7. For knitting scales № 6 we will type 10 loops along the edge of the scales # 5 and take 10 more from circular knitting needles. We thus bind the scales to the end of the strip, complete it with a half-flake and return the thread to the beginning of the row.
  8. Having connected thus 3 strips, we pass to the fourth. For her at the beginning of knitting, we untangle the half-scales, and then we knit according to the scheme.
  9. The canvas associated with the Scale pattern will look like this.
