English gum knitting - knitting pattern, instructions for beginners, photo

Thanks to new textile technologies, the clothes of a modern person have become very comfortable and light, but at the same time, very uniform. Having mastered the art of hand-knitting, you can create your own unique designs of clothes, in accordance with the new trends of the modern fashion industry.

Applying English gum

Needlewomen claim that knitting an English elastic band with knitting needles is one of the easiest ways for beginners to master. Detailed descriptions and diagrams will help in this non-tricky art. This method can be called a "universal soldier". It can be used both for finishing products, and as a complete fabric of a knitted thing.

Rules and tricks for knitting English gum

Despite the simplicity of this pattern, before starting work, it is worth remembering some rules:

1. The yarns used are always different in density. It is impossible to predict the size of the product in advance. Experienced knitters suggest making a small pattern in order not to be mistaken with the size of the clothes. It will help you understand how loose or dense the yarn is.
2. This pattern has a lot of material consumption. You should buy yarns with an additional skein.
3. To get a perfect, not twisted pattern on both sides, the front loops are knitted behind the front wall, and the wrong ones for the back.
4. To get a beautiful elastic band, do not tighten the loops too tight.
5. You need to use beautiful, new yarn. High-quality elastic will not work from loose old threads.
6. Knitting needles are selected in advance. Typically, yarn packs indicate the recommended size. If there is no recommendation, then the rule is used - the needles are slightly larger than the threads in the selected skein of wool.
7. Choose the best ornament for the yarn.

English knitting needles: technique step by step

There are many different options for knitting English elastic with knitting needles. The scheme for beginners will help you optimally determine the desired technique.

English gum 1/1

To get an English rubber band ornament, any amount of loops is typed, which can be divided into two... The first line is knitted with alternation of one front loop and a purl one.

In the second line, the front loops are made over the front loops, and the purl loops are made over the purl loops. Further, the entire odd lines are knitted as the first line, and the even ones are completely knitted as the second line.

English gum 2/1

Any even number of loops is typed. The first chain is knitted, alternating two front and one purl. The next chain is passed with the front loops over the front loops, and the purl loops over the purl loops. Then all the odd stripes go, repeating the initial chain, and the even ones completely repeat the second chain.

English gum 2/2

Such the ornament comes out very elastic and embossed. To begin with, the sum of nodes is a multiple of two.

The 3/2 English elastic is very embossed.

Initial chain:

• one loop is taken off, transferring it to the right knitting needle;

  

• knit a front loop;
• further, they knit the two wrong sides;
• followed by a pair of facial and a pair of purl;
• so knit until the end of the strip. The end knot is made inside out.

Second chain:

• throw the first loop to the opposite knitting needle;
• then, repeat the pattern: facial over the front loops, and purl - over the purl.

English gum 3/2

This pattern is very embossed.

Scheme:

• gain the sum of loops divisible by 5;
• one loop is removed;
• then alternate three wrong side and two front;
• finish - edge;

In the following rows, the drawing is observed.

English gum 5/1

Knitting with knitting needles of this version is not very similar to English elastic, however, it is based on the same pattern.

Knit like this:

• start with such a sum of loops that will be divisible by six;
• edge loops along the edges;
• alternate purl and five front loops;
• the subsequent rows are knitted, observing the pattern.

Simplified English gum

The pattern is created by alternating the front and back loops... However, the front loop is always knitted by grabbing the top of the bottom loop. At the edges of the rows, edge loops must be made.

False English gum: 2 options

This double-sided pattern knits fast enough and saves yarn. Collect the required amount of loops divisible by 4 + edging.

False English elastic will knit fast enough and save yarn

Option number 1. Row one:

• the initial loop is removed;
• three loops alternate with one purl;

Row two:

• after the edge, make two front loops: 1p. for the far thread, and the second for the front;
• then knit the purl loop, followed by the front loop;
• and repeat again: 2 facial, purl, front, to the edge.

The third stripe copies the drawing of the initial one, and the fourth - the drawing of the second stripe.

Option two.

The pattern is embossed with bumps, in the center of which is a path of pigtails.

Copying the first option, perform the initial strip.

The changes take place in the second row:

• after the hem, make a pair of front loops: the first for the back thread, and the second for the front;
• purl loop;
• then 3 facial: the first for the back thread, the second for the front and the third again for the back thread;
• the pattern is copied to the edge loop.

Difficult English gum

Having mastered knitting in simple patterns, start trying your hand at more complex patterns of English elastic. An even amount of loops is knitted. The 1/1 ornament is recruiting the original line.

Further:

• after the edge knot, knit the front knot for the inner slice;
• then the loop is reshomed, putting the working thread in front. In this way they work up to the final edge loop.

Working further, the actions are exactly repeated. This method is called double or hollow, since the parts of the product are divided into 2 halves. Used for knitting cuffs, necks, shoulder straps and belts in children's and adult products.

Faceted English gum

Working on this method, make an odd sum of loops.

Working with a Faceted English elastic band, make an odd amount of loops.

Scheme:

• the initial one is removed;
• then alternate a pair of facial with a pair of purl;
• end with 1 front and edge loop.

Second line:

• after the hem, the entire line is alternated with a pair of purl and a pair of knit loops, at the end of 1 purl and 1 hem loop.

The third line repeats 1, and the 4 line repeats 2, etc. The product is embossed with beautiful convex edges.

Lush English gum

A similar knitting stretches well, is the same on both sides and looks voluminous... The initial chain is knitted one to one, doing alternately, then the front, then the wrong side.

Scheme:

• the original node is removed;
• the latter is knitted inside out.

The following chain:

• the initial loop is removed;
• then the front loop is knitted like this: the knitting needle is inserted, going down into the lower chain.
• the wrong side is done as usual.
• the front one is taken from the previous chain again.

Two-tone English elastic band

Products knitted with an English elastic band on knitting needles look very bright when two multi-colored threads are used. First, for ease of description, colors will be indicated in the diagram. Pink will be color # 1, and blue will be color # 2. Collect an odd amount of blue loops on the needles with two working ends. At the edges of each strip, edge loops are made.

Products knitted with an English elastic band on knitting needles look very bright when two multi-colored threads are used.

Front page:

• 1 p. Remove + front;
