Simple crochet pattern

There are many tips for those who are just starting to learn crochet. They concern the choice of tool, yarn and model for the first product.

Essential for the whole project is the selection of a pattern. The crochet pattern may be limited to several rows or be an entire page instruction. The main thing is for the master to like the pattern, and she was passionate about the process, it always helps in mastering new occupations.

Crochet for Beginners: Schemes and Their Types

Taking into account the difference in the appearance of the patterns, and also based on the manner in which they are required to be knitted, several basic patterns are distinguished:

• Thick.
• Openwork.
• Straight lines.
• Circular.
• Whole.
• Recruitment.

Dense patterns are suitable for the manufacture of warm products or accessories: scarves, coats, bags, rugs.

Azhury apply if you need to tie a summer or elegant product. You can safely say, often the crochet pattern is an instruction for creating an openwork cloth.

Speaking of a direct pattern, it is implied that it is connected by straight rows (direct and reverse) with one or several ornaments without breaking the thread.

At the same time, circular patterns begin, as a rule, from the center of the canvas and gradually expand. Rows in such patterns can be direct and reverse or spiral (only facial).

The difference between whole and patterned patterns is that the first consist of one part, and the second - of several. Motifs, fragments and elements of patterned can be round, square, abstract or any other shape.

What you need to know before you get started

Trying to understand the basics of crochet, you can easily get confused, if you do not know what the icons on the diagrams symbolize. There is nothing complicated, but you will have to familiarize yourself with the instruction describing the execution of the main elements. You can even practice in their knitting before you start making a particular thing.

So, in order to facilitate crochet for beginners, the schemes below contain the decoding of the most common symbols.

Here we use abbreviations:

• VP is an air loop.
• RLS - a column without a crochet.
• SSH, C2H, C3H - a column with a crochet (with one, two, three or more).
• PLC - polustolbik.

The easiest scheme for crocheting

Since this article is intended for beginners in the field of crocheting, it is worthwhile to dwell on the description of one of the most simple and easy-to-learn patterns.

Operating procedure:

• Set of VI for the first row. Their number should be a multiple of two, since the size of the rapport is exactly two loops. The rapport is indicated in blue in the diagram.
• The first series is formed by CCN, which are interleaved by the VP. The very first SSN should be knit in the seventh VP, further between the adjacent SSNs one VP of the base should be passed.
• The next series also includes CCN and EP, but in a different order. Now, in the top of each first-line CLS, it is necessary to tie the CCN, VP, then again CCN. Two SSNs with a common base form a small "bush".

Further increase in the canvas will be formed by successively alternating the first and second rows. This crochet pattern allows you to change the colors of the yarn used, and it is also convenient for cuts and additions along the edges. Uneven edge of the canvas may be required for the manufacture of clothing with a fitted silhouette, armhole and neck.

Additions are formed by tying an additional column at the beginning or at the end of the row, and the shortening is done by combining two columns.

What to connect a newbie

The answer will not be original, the optimal model is a scarf. The advantages are obvious:

• Even product without additions and abbreviations.
• The rapid growth of the canvas and the visible result, which always motivates even experienced knitters.
• The ability to work out all the necessary skills (knitting the main posts, maintaining a uniform density, accurate knitting).
• Reducing the risk of global errors. All the shortcomings are easily correctable.

Given the described pluses, the scarf is versatile to practice crochet. Schemes and models of different scarves can be easily found in magazines on needlework. The pattern is better to choose two-sided, since the visible underside is undesirable for such a product.

Any scarf is a rectangle, so you need to type loops to make a series of a certain width and knit up until the product is ready.

At the final stage, it is tied with one or several rows of RLS or "step by step".

When the first steps are made and mastered the initial crochet, schemes and models for further work can be chosen more complicated. For example, you can try to tie this poncho cape.

Its canvas is also a large rectangle, folded and partially sewn on one side. Detailed crochet patterns are not needed here, since it is possible to use simple CCH.
