Work schemes

You need to knit such a blanket using one of the simple methods - garter stitch on ten loops.

In this case, the first front loop must be constantly removed, and the tenth can be made by any convenient method, but so that the side braid slices are formed from the edge. This is necessary for easier fastening of the strips to each other.

Example of knitting short rows — Example of knitting shortened rows - cast on stitches, knit 2 rows in garter stitch

Knit 8 loops — In the third row, knit 8 loops, and leave 4 on the left knitting needle.

The initial band should be knitted by creating loops with a braid - both on the face and on the back side. If the blanket is conceived as a square, the front loop should be created on 9 knitting grooves.

Place the working thread on the left knitting needle over the last loop. — To turn the work, we throw the working thread onto the left knitting needle over the last loop and remove this same loop onto the right knitting needle as a purl

We take the working thread behind the loop, — Then we take the working thread behind the loop, and return the loop itself to the left knitting needle.

Wrapped around the outer loop — In this way we wrapped the outer loop on the left knitting needle – this is necessary so that there is no hole at the turning point.

In order to knit a rectangular blanket, the wedges of the side braid should be made longer. For example, for a 200x150 needlework, the initial ribbon should be 50 centimeters long during the work process.

The knitting process

Cast on 10 stitches and knit with garter stitch — Cast on 10 stitches and knit the initial ribbon in garter stitch (with knit stitches on the front and back sides)

The crucial moment of the whole process is the first corner. It is necessary to take into account the shift by 1 loop, and knit the corner so that there are no holes between the adjacent loops. In order not to get confused, the corner can be knitted by 9 loops from left to right, then the same number in the opposite direction.

We finish knitting the full first corner, counting backwards

Next, we need to work on the second corner. In the process, we do not forget about the offset and that the first loop of the braid must be removed.

We knit the second corner — We start knitting the second corner, counting from 9 to 1

When the two corners are ready, it is time for the ribbon. It must be tied, simultaneously attaching the braids of the main fabric. To do this, pull the front loop through the previously removed loop number ten.

The second corner is ready. — We finish knitting the corner, making increases, counting from 1 to 9 – the second corner is ready

What if you crochet?

We crochet either only under the back part of the braid, or under both of its lobes. In the first case, a thin knitting scar is obtained, in the second case, the scar will be dense, well-marked, voluminous.

When knitting under the back part, the back side is less voluminous and more pleasant to the touch. However, the bipartite scar will look much neater. Which method to choose is a personal matter for each needlewoman.

Let's start knitting the ribbon — We start knitting the ribbon, simultaneously attaching it to the side braid of the knitted fabric; such a rib is obtained if you knit the front loop under both segments of the side braid.

Knitting under both lobes of the side braid — If you knit under both lobes of the side braid, then the rib is obtained from two tracks of face loops

The rest of the work is done in a spiral, constantly measuring out the same ten loops. It is rational to stick to one direction - traditionally such a blanket is knitted counterclockwise. In this case, the product turns out very neat, and, what is important for inexperienced needlewomen - it is easy to unravel correctly if a mistake is made during the knitting process.

We knit the corner in a spiral — Now we knit the corner in a spiral again, attaching the knitting to the edge braid of the knitted one.

The second square is ready. — The second square is ready, we continue knitting, forming corners and attaching knitting on straight sections

Some errors

What mistakes are often made when using the 10-loop method? The first is incorrectly counting the loops themselves. A common mistake is not removing the first loop when finishing a row. Then you have to unravel the yarn and start over.

Mistakes are also made when knitting a corner. Loose rows spoil the whole thing - the blanket not only loses its functions as a warm thing, but also significantly worsens its appearance. In order to prevent stretching, it is necessary to use knitting with shortened rows - it turns out dense, and it is easier to make corners with such knitting.

This type of handicraft is a wonderful pastime for any housewife and an excellent method for producing practical, comfortable, stylish and warm products.
