Knee pads made of wool are a very useful find for any craftsman. Their role is not so much aesthetic as therapeutic. Exactly treatment and prevention are carried out by ordinary knitted knee pads made of wool. So that they do not interfere with movement, but also do not fall off or put pressure. Let's look at a model of knee pads that even a beginner can easily perform.
Selection of yarn and knitting needles
There are no barriers at all regarding the color of the yarn and you can use any range to create them, the color you like. But the yarn itself must be warm and it is only wool. The most natural fiber will always be better than any acrylic and other impurities.
You can also use prickly options, as they contain more wool, which will affect the joints. The knitting needles must be the same number as indicated for the yarn. Since the loops should be tight to each other.
Step-by-step instructions on how to knit wool knee pads
Very convenient instructions for creating knee pads with knitting needles are divided into stages.It's simply impossible to make a mistake.
Taking measurements
Using a measuring tape, we measured the joint and wrote it down on a piece of paper so as not to repeat the measurement several times.
Set of first stitches for 2 knitting needles
Sample
We knitted a small sample using an elastic band with 1*2 knitting needles. That is, a square for calculating loops and rows of 10 cm. Two numbers were also written down on a piece of paper - this is the knitting density.
Loop calculation
Next, for the circumference of the joint, we determined by density how many loops would be required for circular knitting.
Elastic knee pad
The knee pad is knitted from the bottom of the product. It all starts with a 1*2 elastic band. Knitting according to the pattern.
Elastic pattern 1*2:
Row 1: k/p, p2/p, (repeat k/p and p2/p). Next, the top row (circle) by analogy and the front one above the front one, 2 purl ones, respectively, over two purl ones.
Knit 10 rows of this elastic band and switch to a circle for the knee pad. For it, you first need to replace 6 elastic loops with the purl stitch. Knit two rows with an insert from the purl stitch. Work the next two rows in stockinette stitch and additionally grab a stitch on each side of the elastic. Repeat increasing and alternating knit two rows and purl rows until 9 purl stripes are formed.
Facial surface
Next, knit by analogy, only instead of increasing, you need to make decreases. Continue until you have a strip of 6 stitches. Switch knitting to an elastic band again and use this elastic band to do 10-20 cm. This is at the discretion of the master.
This is how you can easily and simply knit a useful product for your joints. Or make a wonderful gift for an elderly person who knows what joint pain is.
Maybe just such a knee brace will be useful.
Knitting warm things is very simple, but creating something with a healing effect is simply skill. We are trying to create not only knee pads, but also other insulating and simply beautiful things.
