2 single crochets with a common point. Knitting columns with a common top
Paired single crochets
There is a working loop on the hook. Insert the hook into the first stitching point, grab the working thread and pull out a loop, insert the hook into the second stitching point, grab the thread and pull out a loop, there are 3 loops on the hook. Grab the working thread again and knit 3 loops in one go.
Paired half-columns
There is a working loop on the hook, yarn over, insert the hook into the first stitching point, grab the working thread and pull out a loop, there are 3 loops on the hook, yarn over, insert the hook into the second stitching point, grab the working thread, pull out a loop, there are 5 loops on the hook. Knit them with a working thread in one step.
When knitting such a pair, you can pull out the working thread from the second digging point without preliminary yarn over, therefore, you will knit 4 loops in one step. The top of such a pair is less stretched.
Paired single crochet stitches
There is a working loop on the hook. Yarn over, insert the hook into the first stitching point, grab the working thread, pull out a loop, there are 3 loops on the hook. Knit two of them with a working thread, 2 loops on the hook. Yarn over, insert the hook into the second stitching point, grab the working thread, pull out a loop, there are 4 loops on the hook, knit two of them, there are 3 loops on the hook. Having grabbed the working thread, knit them in one step. When knitting any columns with a common vertex, you should knit each column sequentially, without performing the last operation, but perform it simultaneously for all columns.
Basically, lush columns can also be called paired, only they are knitted from one base point.
There is a working loop on the hook, make 2 yarn overs (move the hook counterclockwise), insert the hook into the next loop, grab the working thread and pull out the loop. There are 4 loops on the hook, I grab the working thread and knit 2 loops, yarn over again, skip one loop from the previous row, insert the hook into the next loop and grab the thread and pull out the loop. There are 5 loops on the hook, I knit them in 4 steps of 2 loops each, make one air loop, yarn over and insert the hook into the junction of the posts, pull out the loop. There are 3 loops on the hook, I knit them 2 in 2 steps.
That's what they're called crossed columns with a connection at the intersection.
Two double crochets with a common top - there is a working loop on the hook, I yarn over (move the hook counterclockwise), insert the hook into the first loop (you can also into the top of the stitch or chain loop), grab the working thread and pull out the loop. There are 3 loops on the hook, I knit 2 of them with a working thread, 2 loops remain on the hook, I yarn over and insert the hook into the next loop, grab the working thread, pull out a loop, there are 4 loops on the hook, I knit 2 of them with a working thread, 3 remain on the hook loops, grab the working thread and knit them in one step.
In a similar way, you can knit a larger number of double crochets with a common top. There will be one loop left from each stitch on the hook; there will be one more loops on the hook than unfinished stitches. Counting stitches is a convenient way to check yourself when there are many stitches knitted together.
Two half double crochets with a common top - there is a working loop on the hook, I yarn over (move the hook counterclockwise), insert the hook into the first loop (you can also into the top of the stitch or chain loop), grab the working thread and pull out the loop. There are 3 loops on the hook, I yarn over and insert the hook into the next loop, grab the working thread, pull out the loop, there are 5 loops on the hook, grab the working thread and knit them in one step.
Double crochets are knitted alternately from one hook insertion point and are called "with common ground".
Typically this technique is used to increase the total number of loops when making fabric, trim on clothing or any product. Columns can be added both along the edges of the canvas and along the entire length of the row or circle.
When more than 3 double crochets are knitted at one hook insertion point, then such an element is called - "fans", "scallops", "shells".
If there are dividing air loops between double crochets knitted with a common base, then the element is called "slingshot".
What is a single crochet stitch?
Today we will learn how to knit double crochets with one top. It can be two, three or more columns.
Schematically, the diagram always shows how many stitches and how many yarn overs will need to be knitted.
What are single crochet stitches?
Single crochet double crochets is a basic element in crochet.
Double crochets from one top are required:
- to create openwork patterns;
- to create a dense fabric;
- to create a three-dimensional pattern.
How to knit double crochets with one top in the usual way?
Girls, after you and I have mastered knitting a double crochet, we are not afraid of any stitches with one vertex, with one stitching point (BB 10).
The main thing is that we move forward, which means we pick up a hook and a skein of yarn and begin to create or get creative, how does anyone do it?!
To knit stitches with one vertex, we need to knit an incomplete double crochet:
- Yarn over the working thread onto the hook, insert it into a loop of the chain, grab the working thread and pull it through the loop of the chain - there are 3 loops on the hook;
- once again grab the working thread and pull it through two loops on the hook. will remain on the hook two we have loops and an incomplete column ready (Diagram 1);
- and now we make a double crochet, but we insert the hook into the next loop on the chain and knit an incomplete double crochet.
Namely: we grab the working thread, pull it through the loop on the chain and, again throwing the working thread onto the hook, knit two loops. We have 3 loops on the hook.
- Since the diagram shows us three double crochets, we repeat all the steps again: yarn over, insert the hook into the next loop of the bottom row, pick up the working thread, pull it through the loop. We have 5 loops on the hook. And again, picking up the working thread, pull it through two loops on the hook. We are left with 4 loops: one loop from each post plus a loop on the hook (Diagram 2).
- Now we pick up the leading thread and knit four loops together. We will have one loop left on the hook (Diagram 3).
Result: Now you and I know the essence of knitting with one top. And now it makes no difference to us how many double crochets with one vertex the diagram gives us.
The main thing is to REMEMBER that we knit each double crochet halfway and one loop remains from each double crochet on the hook.
And when finished, we knit all the loops at once.
Let's take it as an example, two double crochet stitches with one vertex: to knit such stitches, we need to knit each stitch in half.
From each post on the hook there will be one loop + a loop on the hook (we have 3 loops on the hook) and we knit them at a time.
In this way you can knit 2,3,4 stitches with one vertex.
What are the ways to knit a single crochet stitch?
Now we will look at how to connect the same columns to one vertex, but in a different way.
For example, we need to knit two double crochets with one vertex. We knit the first part of the stitches, as in normal knitting, but we knit the second part, when we have one loop from each double crochet on the hook, in two times (Diagram 5). Namely, after the first part of crocheting, we have three loops on the hook (two from the posts and one on the hook).
We grab the working thread with a hook and pull it through two loops on the hook (Diagram 5) and there will be two loops left on it. Grab the working yarn again and pull it through two loops on the hook at a time. There is one loop left on the hook, which means that our St. s/n with one vertex are connected.
Similarly, in this way you can knit stitches with any number of crochets.
Designation of double crochets with one vertex.
Columns with one vertex, knitted using the second method, turn out higher and softer than in the usual way. We will need this effect when knitting napkins or other cute things.
Elements that have a common base point also include a puffy stitch (also called a “buff”), which is knitted with one-and-a-half stitches regardless of the number of stitches in the element as follows: - “lush stitch” - Working loop on the hook.
And a few more topics about knitting for beginners:
How to knit a puffy stitch
Yarn over, insert the hook into the fabric, grab the working thread and pull it to the desired height - this is the first tension of the thread. In any lush column, the minimum number of such stretches is 2. To obtain the same height of tensions, it is necessary, after making a yarn over after the working loop, to hold it firmly with the middle finger of your right hand. Having completed the required number of stretches - the more of them, the more magnificent the column - knit (drop) only the tensions (yarn overs) with one loop from the working thread (secured all the yarn overs with one loop) - there will be 2 loops left on the hook - the elongated one and the initial working one. Knit them together with a working thread.
a) a lush column with a closed top is shown in the first picture - having made the required number of stretches, knit (drop) them with a working thread, together with the working loop that was originally on the hook. That is, in one step, all yarn overs and loops are dropped (knitted) from the hook, and then, grabbing the working thread, knit a tight (tightened) chain loop that secures the dropped threads. Such a lush column has 2 top loops. This method is more often used in decorative patterns.
b) a lush column with an open top is shown in the second picture - after making the required number of stretches and knitting them all together with the working loop in one step, leave them without fastening. Such a lush column is always followed by other knitting elements that will help it hold the threads taut.
c) a “lush” stitch without knitting lifting loops, but with an elongated loop.
Knitting pattern with description
Lush columns have a voluminous effect, but do not hold their shape well, so they are often alternated in patterns with columns with one or more crochets, depending on the height of the lush column, and also after knitting a number of lush columns, to secure the elements, a row of columns is knitted without Yarn over.
Unfinished columns these are stitches, the knitting of which stops at a certain place to create a motif, most often this columns with a common top.
Crochet Basics include decreasing stitches using unfinished columns and combining the columns with a common vertex, as well as adding loops by knitting several stitches into one loop.
Let's start exploring! 🙂
Unfinished double crochets
1. We have a loop from the previous row, or the final loop of a chain of air loops. The example in question was performed on the previous row
4. An unfinished double crochet stitch in the same loop from which our chain stitches rise. The unfinished stitch in our version is alternately knitting loops of two loops. There will be two such pairs until there are two loops left on the hook
5. Another unfinished double crochet stitch in the same stitch. There are three loops on the hook
6. We close all three loops on the hook by threading the working thread through them. Thus, you and I completed three unfinished columns having one base and one top, i.e. there was no decrease or addition, we just got a bunch of columns
7. In the diagram, unfinished columns will look like this. Several options have been considered, by comparing them you will understand by what principle they differ
The next bunches of the row corresponding to the completed one will be from three unfinished double crochets. Such bunches of columns can be made not only from three, but also from a larger number of unfinished columns, the main thing is not to overdo it! 🙂
This is such a wonderful element! 😉
See you in new lessons!
