Boucle pattern with knitting needles diagram and description
It goes well with other patterns. Can become an insert or background. It all depends on your desire.
Let's look at the diagram. It looks like this:
As you can see, nothing complicated!
Let's start with the description. I would like to immediately note the rapport. It is 2 loops long and 4 rows high.
We cast on the knitting needles the required number of loops. For a boucle pattern with knitting needles taking into account rapport, you need 2 + 1 for symmetry and do not forget about two edge loops.
IMPORTANT! Edge loops do not count in the pattern. Let me remind you: the first edge loop is always removed, the last one is knitted according to the pattern.
Step-by-step instructions (*…* – rapport designation):
- Row 1: make all knit stitches.
- 2nd row: *make a boucle (bump), from the 1st loop we knit 1 knit stitch behind the back wall, yarn over over ourselves, 1 knit stitch. We throw the resulting three loops onto the left knitting needle, throw the working thread over ourselves, and knit them together with one purl loop*. The rapport ends, we knit this way until the end, and we make the bouclé one more time using the described technique.
- 3rd row: all facial loops.
- 4th row: * 1 purl, 1 bouclé * 1 purl loop.
To ensure that the boucle remains on the surface, we knit tightly on all odd rows. Repeat the pattern from the first row the required number of times.
Ideas for knitting bouclé
You can also find other names: cones, rose hips or even doodles. Some master classes recommend making a bump not from 3, but from 5 loops. The difference is that the first option is denser, and the second is openwork. The pattern is simple and accessible even to those who are just taking their first steps on the interesting path of a needlewoman.
The convex shape looks great in a variety of things:
- scarves;
- snoods;
- shawls;
- sweaters;
- hats;
- blankets;
- baby clothes.
Bouclé combines well with elastic, giving a natural expansion of the fabric without adding to it. Models made from sectionally dyed yarn look interesting. This thread does not require knitting skills from two or more colors.
How to knit a boucle hat with knitting needles
It is important to understand that today we are talking about the pattern, not the type of yarn. In order for our motif to be clearly visible, we choose smooth threads, and select the knitting needle number according to the instructions on the skein.
First, we knit a sample, wash it according to the instructions, and dry it on a horizontal surface. Then we take measurements. Now we can start counting how many stitches we need to put on the knitting needle.
- For the hat, first make a 1×1 rib (1 knit, 1 purl).
- Raise several rows in height, for example, 5-6 cm.
- Then we move on to the main bouclé pattern.
- For the top of the head, in the front rows we make decreases, knitting 3 loops together with the front one. We make sure that the pattern is preserved.
Knowing the pattern and understanding the principle of knitting a hat, you can create masterpieces for men, women and children.
If you want to knit a hat from boucle yarn, then it is better to work only with simple patterns: elastic, knit or purl stitch, garter stitch. Complex patterns are lost in the fluffy texture.
So, today we have added a method of knitting bouclé on knitting needles. All you have to do is choose the model you want to knit! We are waiting for your ideas and wishes in the comments.
Even loops for you!
