Crochet in a circle. We pick up beret - we master technique

Universal knitting tool - hook - allows you to perform a cloth that consists not only of rows, but also knit in a circle, starting from the center. Separately connected round motifs are then assembled into the product. The formation of a flat circle occurs due to a certain number of increments in the rows along the course of knitting. A knitted round motif can easily be converted into a square or a triangle if you arrange three or four corners, grouping the loops in a certain way.

Crocheting in a circle starts from the center. To begin with, make a ring, connecting the chain with the air loops of the necessary length and closing it into a circle. The diameter of the middle hole of the circle depends on the length of the chain. Then the received ring is tied with bars, passing the hook to its center. The number of bars should be such that a flat circle turns out. There is another way of forming the center of the circle. The end of the knitting thread from the tangle folds several times and is closed in a ring, not breaking off the thread. Then a hook is introduced into the formed thread ring, the thread is drawn from the coil and the ring is tied, starting from the place of its connection, with dense columns without a crochet. This method is more suitable if the hole in the middle of the circle should be large enough. Finally, if it is necessary to tie a circle without a visible hole in the center, then the string of the coil is wound on the finger of the left hand, forming a ring. Then the hook is inserted into this ring and tied with simple sticks, the end of the thread is left visible and freely hanging. After the row of columns is connected, the left end of the thread is tightened and then neatly hidden between the posts.

After crocheting along the circle of the first central ring will be done, begin knitting in a circle of subsequent rows. Each series must begin with tying one or two air loops to the height of the bars to be sealed in order for the rows to be even. At the end, each row is closed by tying an air loop into the upper loop made for lifting. Be sure to make the increase of the loops at a certain distance from each other, tying in the loop of the previous row instead of one column two, if crocheting is tight around the circle, or using chains of air loops, as stipulated in the report of the fishnet pattern.

Let's take an example to the simplest method, using crochet in a circle. The scheme of knitting a dense beret with columns without a crochet will help to master this kind of technique to novice craftsmen.

Knitting in a circle begins with the fact that we lock three air loops into the ring. After that, making one air loop, we sew six simple posts, tying the ring. We fasten the next rows with columns without the crochet as usual, we insert the hook into the upper loops of the previous row. In the first row, perform two bars in each column of the previous row. In the second row, alternate two bars and one column in each loop of the previous row. Similarly, we knit all subsequent rows. To make the circle smooth and flat, it is important to monitor the number of added loops in each row. Having thus connected the flat bottom of the beret of the required size, we stop making increments and we knit in a circle the usual rows of columns. After tying 4-5 cm straight, we start gradually to loosen the loops. To do this, measure the diameter of the circle, divide it into the same five segments, and tie two loops together through the distances obtained in each successive row. Having drunk a few more centimeters, we get a ready beret. The edge of the beret should be tied with dense stems or "walking step", so that it does not stretch. Crocheting around the beret is very convenient, as it can always be tried on during the work and make the necessary adjustments, if necessary.
