This pattern consists not only of external, but also purl loops, as in a classic chess pattern. In order for the pattern to be successful as an imitation of weaving, when replacing the outer loops with purl and back stitches, sections were added in the variant of 2 loops knitted together and cast over.
We provide you with two easy knitting methods. The 1st method is specialized for the outer edge of the product, the 2nd for the wrong side. In addition, in the initial diagram you can clearly see what the outer area of the drawing looks like, and in the 2nd diagram what the backside looks like.
Chess
Chess with knitting needles is an extremely popular image that can be added to the basic ones. Its essence lies in the fact that the components of the pattern are knitted to look like squares in a checkerboard pattern. Squares can be different, namely: large or tiny.
Using this pattern, we can easily knit hats, jumpers, jackets, scarves, pillows, and blankets.The knitting is compact, for this reason it can also be used to create warm items for winter.
In essence, the plan and description of the knitting pattern in absolutely all alternatives is the same. Height – 2 layers. It is possible to combine them. External squares alternate with purl ones.
In some cases, it is possible to notice a transformation in the form of rectangles: 2 x 4, 3 x 6. Knitting is very simple and even a novice craftsman or amateur can knit it.
2 x 2
To knit this pattern, it is enough to have the ability to knit external as well as purl loops. The pattern will come out more clearly and lively when knitting with “classic” loops.
Number of loops: multiples of 6 + 2 auxiliary + 2 edge loops. First you need to cast on 28 loops.
1st cycle – 1 edge, * 2 outside, 4 purls *, 1 edge.
2nd cycle all even in a circle - according to the picture.
3rd cycle – 1 edge, * 3 purls, 2 outside, * 4 purls, 2 outside. Play from * to * until the end of the layer. At the end of the layer there are 3 purls and 1 edge.
3 x 3
To knit this pattern, it is enough to know how to knit external as well as purl loops. Despite the simplicity of knitting, it can be an excellent background or independent pattern.
First you need to cast on 29 loops. The number of loops must be divided into 6 + 3 auxiliary + 2 edge loops.
- 1st cycle – 1 edge, * 3 purls, 3 outside *, 3 purls, 1 edge.
- 2nd, cycle 3rd, 4th circle – knit according to the pattern.
- 5th cycle – 1 edge, * 3 outer, 3 purl *, 3 outer, 1 edge.
- 6th, 7th, 8th round – knit according to the pattern.
- 9th cycle – reproduce the drawing from the 1st layer.
4 x 4
Elementary and at the same time beautiful designs are knitted freely and quickly.Understanding the main stitches - outer and purl - is enough for knitting various variations of these patterns.
The pattern can be started from a square with purl loops or with external ones. The knitted base will end in the same square that you started with. In the description and in the diagram, start the base of the pattern with purl loops.
- 1st cycle – 1 edge, * 4 purls, 4 outside *, repeat from * up to *, 4 purls, 1 edge.
- 2nd cycle - all even numbers in a circle - knit according to the pattern.
- From the 3rd to the 8th cycle - play the 1st and 2nd circle.
- 9th cycle – 1 edge, * 4 knit, 4 purl *, reproduce from * up to *, 4 outer, 1 edge.
- 10th cycle and all even numbers in the circle - knit according to the pattern.
- From the 11th to the 16th cycle - play the 9th and 10th circle.
- Continue knitting, repeating from the 1st to the 16th round.
