Simple braids

Even a novice knitter can handle this popular pattern. Remember: a simple option is easy to remember, quickly mastered and performed automatically.

Two-part braid pattern

The pattern is obtained due to the fact that part of the fabric is knitted in a special order, with crossing. The diagram clearly shows how to do it.

From a needlewoman the pattern requires additional knitting needles and attention.

Reference. A regular harness is made on an even number of loops: 2, 4, 6, 8.When crossing, the same number of loops is left on the main and additional knitting needles.

Reference. For a curly “braid” you need an odd number of loops (a multiple of three).One part is knitted like a regular fabric; the remaining parts are knitted in the usual way, as in the diagram.
