EMBROIDERY CROSS

At lovers of needlework the creed stitch enjoys special deserved popularity. This type of needlework is attractive that any embroideress even if she is not able to draw, will be able to create such pictures that and did not dream many artists, but for this purpose it is necessary to have huge patience and desire, and also to know all necessary information on art of embroidery cross with what we also will help you.


The following materials and tools are necessary for us for embroidery cross: outline or fabric for embroidery, embroidery threads (mouline thread)of those flowers of which the scheme, tambour screw, needles vyshivalny and the scheme of embroidery consists. We will consider each of these necessary ingredients of embroidery in more detail.

Of course, it is possible to buy ready set of embroidery which the outline which is picked up for the size and number already enters, all necessary threads but if you have found the pleasant scheme of embroidery, do not refuse to themselves pleasure to pick up all necessary materials most, after all it not only responsible process, but also very fascinating.


Tools and materials for embroidery:


NEEDLES


For embroidery on outline gobelin needles with stupid tip No. 16-28 and wide ear throughout which it is easily possible to pass the necessary quantity of threads are ideal, and stupid tip we do not split fiber of fabric and easily slides between them.


TAMBOUR


For embroidery of the small sizes use round tambour (happen wooden and plastic). They happen the sizes in the diameter from 7 cm up to 30, also happen to supports desktop and floor.


For embroidery of the big sizes for tension of outline use gobelin tambour – the frames executed generally from tree the sizes from 40 x 40 cm and reach up to 100 cm wide, also happen to supports floor and desktop.


OUTLINE


Classical fabric for embroidery cross – outline the AIDA. It has been invented in 1907 and has undoubtedly won the place of honor in embroidery by cross, it forms accurate squares that facilitates and accelerates embroidery process. The outline is made of 100% of cotton and two average threads above, two extreme — below consist of interlacing of 4 threads in basis and the 4th in duck. On corners of cells places of input and output of needle are well visible.



The outline happens different numbers, for example Aida-14 or Aida-18 and number of outline depends on number of cages in 1 inch (2,54 cm).


Aida No. 11 (Pearl Hades)in 1 inch of 11 sections or in 10 cm = 43 cages. Such outline well will be suitable for the beginning embroideresses and for simple motives and the schemes Aida No. 14 (Stern Hades) in 1 inch of 14 sections or in 10 cm = the 55th cages.


The most popular size of outline, is used for embroidery of beautiful pictures with difficult schemes and elegant motives. Aida No. 16 in 1 inch of 16 sections or in 10 cm = 63 cages. 63


Something between Aida14 and Aida18. It is used when sight does not allow to work with absolutely already small daggers.


Aida No. 18 (Fayn-Aida) in 1 inch of 18 sections or in 10 cm = 70 cages.


It is intended for embroidery by cross of very delicate, dot works. Aida No. 20 in 1 inch of 20 sections or in 10 cm = 79 cages. For jeweler works. The outline also happens different flowers and shades. Primary colors: white, blue, cream, lime and black.


For embroidery by cross use also other types of fabric on which the embroidery finds the charm it is flax which has smooth surface with slightly uneven structure of flat fibers; hat which is developed by double or triple interlacing therefore on surface of fabric the alternating rectangles are formed of the main and weft overlappings located in chessboard order; the rigid outline - stramin which consists lattices, izrazlichny in size, offers numerous opportunities for embroidery, weaving and hand-made articles; table Damask cloths (damasta).


THREADS


Presently set of firms and domestic and foreign provide us the huge range of threads. Here small list of the most widespread producers of threads: DMC (France), Anchor (England), Madeira (Germany), Ariadna (Poland), Mayflower (Denmark), and also Kirov, Chinese and Indian mouline thread. If you select necessary threads that better to select one producer since all of them differ both on color scale and on quality of production.


Standard cotton embroidery threadscall - mouline thread. These threads consist of 6 easily divided fine threads which can be are divided for achievement of the wished thinner effect of embroidery by cross



The mercerized cotton threads are twisted threads with special processing andstrong gloss. These threads because of their high-quality coloring of amazing gloss andlight reflection well useat embroidery cross, in gold and gobelin embroidery.



Soft embroidery cotton threads are thick opaque threads. Effectively look on heavy-weight fabrics. Are ideally suited for embroidery of wall gobelins.


Gobelin wool. It is heavy yarn with which embroider in the whole addition. It is used in embroidery of gobelins according to calculating schemes.


Delicate wool yarn. These are fine threads in 2 additions can separately be used or in connection with other threads. Are widely applied in embroidery by wool on fabric. Give to embroidery pastelnost and softness.


The metallized embroidery threads. These threads are used separately or in combination with cotton or woolen threads. Are ideal for embroidery gold and in free style. Give festive look to embroidery on any type of fabric.


Silk and viscose threads. These threads serve for creation of strong gloss in some elements of embroidery. At embroidery threads from filament rayon yarn, they raspushivatsya slightly and give to ready embroidery velvety look.



ADDITIONAL ACCESSORIES FOR THE EMBROIDERY


Now shops for needlework offer many additional pleasant and useful accessories for embroidery. For example small scissors-tsapelki or can use small cuticle scissors.


Certainly the organizer for threads during the work with large number of mouline thread of different flowers is useful. Having sorted all threads in the flowers, fix them on special holders and sign with the corresponding numbers and symbols, it will allow to facilitate search of necessary threads during the work.



For storage of the remains of threads and stocks special bobinka will be necessary for you for winding of threads and plastic box with departments.






Also the special washing-away markers and pencils will be useful to you for fabric razlinovka, the eraser for fabric and is a lot of other useful things facilitating work of the embroideress.

PATTERNS FROM PLAITS

Plaits traditionally are associated with Arran sweaters in which for receiving bright effect panels from various plaits, braids, rhombuses, lattices and relief patterns are combined. Modern designers often combine different options of plaits for creation of captivating images and motives. Classical patterns with plaits are more reserved, they give refined look even to the most usual product.


Knitting of plaits watch the description here.


Braids and plaits. Small plaits with interlacings through four rows are fine in itself, however they are especially good between panels of larger patterns. In this sample they are combined with plaits, interlacings in which vypolnyayutsyacherez eight rows.


Four-row braid and plaits snakes. It is surprisingly easy to execute this panel as all back ranks match back loops. The quantity of locks of braid which you want to execute, is not limited — only add six more loops for each additional lock.



Fantasy braid and cells. The rapport of the central panel from interlacing of cell consists of 8 loops, therefore, you can carry out pattern from any number of loops, multiple to eight, doing the panel with cells already or more widely. Plaits in chessboard order. Simple performed by plaits three on three, executed over blocks from front and back loops, create the pattern seeming more difficult, than it is actually.



Elastic band from small plaits. Plaits from two loops often intertwine, however the effect of smooth surface created by crossing of loops of plait is rather labor-consuming what it is possible to judge according to the scheme of pattern. You can make the twisting plait wider, having added loops in any quantity, multiple to two.



Elastic band with plaits. The wide plait from six loops alternates with elastic band from two loops. The pattern looks rather difficult, however it is very easy to execute it.



Braid and elastic band. If you want to connect thicker braid try to connect pattern from among loops, more than twelve, carrying out plaits four on four.



Cones. Plaits two on two along strips from chulochny knitting effectively contrast with narrow strips of platochny knitting. And the end of all back ranks to knit back loops.



Triple zigzag and plait. It is usual zigzag, however it is more interesting as consists of three strips. Change the direction of plait if you knit two panels.



Zigzag with double structure. This pattern is school of development of plaits from front loops and back on back background as back loops are always well combined with double pearl knitting. On the scheme it is shown that the direction of zigzag changes in the eleventh row.



Puffs from plaits. Though puffs can be created at sewing together of strips of elastic band, more accurate structure turns out when using plaits and obkruchenny loops.



Textural plait. When performing plait from six loops the texture of pearl knitting which nevertheless can be replaced with elastic band (1 persons is used., 1 izn.), which loops are executed from back walls.



Plait in the form of leaf. These leaves which are continuation interlacing of plaits are used for creation of sample, however they can be combined with other plaits.



Lattice horseshoe the Additional plaits which are continuation already provyazanny, do lattice more interesting.



Plait string from elastic band. The pattern is executed from the stylized flowers by means of plaits 1x1 and the crossed loops, provyazanny for back walls.



Plait tulip. Use of the crossed loops gives to the plait which is inside string big expressiveness.


Ovals and flowers. Interlacings in back ranks it is not more difficult to knit, than interlacings in front ranks and as the plait from four loops is again bound in the following row, they accurately act against from back loops, forming oval forms pleasant to eye.

PERFORMANCE OF PLAITS AND WAVES

Performance of plaits and waves. When knitting groups of loops in different order it is possible to receive surprising patterns of knitting. Plaits can be executed from two and more loops, the crossing of loops can be carried out both on front, and on back the parties of work for receiving the most improbable interlacings. As soon as you understand the principle of performance of the receptions described in this chapter, will find out that main types of plaits are rather easily transformed, they can be done wider or above interlacing can be more frequent that gives additional durability to knitted cloth; if interlacings more rare, products it turns out softer.


Watch types of patterns from plaits and zigzags with schemes here.


PERFORMANCE OF THE PLAIT


When it is necessary to cross, one, two or the bigger quantity of loops for their transfer is used short spoke with two pointed ends. When the additional spoke with loops remains behind work, loops on the right side of knitted cloth move to the left, forming the diagonal following from left to right. When the additional spoke with loops remains before work, the diagonal going from right to left is formed. The crossed loops can be provyazana as front, back or textured, according to the instruction on performance of sample of knitting. After you master technology of performance of basic plaits from four loops, you will be able to be accepted to performance of any of samples of patterns.


Plaits and waves. In the center by means of crossings plaits while alternation of their crossings on each side of sample forms waves are in front and behind created.



CROSSING AHEAD All loops match front, it is important that the interlacing was carried out from four loops from upper side of work. 1. Remove the first two loops on additional spoke and leave them behind work, then provyazhit front two following loops from the left spoke.



2. Provyazhite front two loops from additional spoke.



The CROSSING BEHIND the Interlacing is carried out from four loops from reverse side of work, all loops match the front. 1. Remove two loops on additional spoke and leave them before work, then provyazhit front two following loops from the left spoke.



2. Provyazhite front two loops from additional spoke.



CELLS/ZIGZAGS For these samples are used plaits from front loops.



CROSSING BEHIND AGAINST FROM BACK LOOPS we Carry out plaits from 4 persons. the item with decussation to the right against izn. item 1. To remove the first two loops on additional spoke and to leave behind work, then to provyazat front the following two loops from the left spoke.



2. To Provyazat back two loops from additional spoke.



The CROSSING IN FRONT AGAINST FROM BACK LOOPS is Burned down from four front loops with decussation against back loops to the left. 1. To remove the first two loops on additional spoke and to leave before work, then to provyazat back the following two loops from the left spoke.



2. To Provyazat front two loops from additional spoke.



COUNCIL: Calculation of ranks between interlacings can be difficult business. Pass thread of contrast color which can be removed afterwards easily between row loops where the interlacing is carried out.

DRESS FROM OPENWORK MOTIVES

The beautiful dress from the openwork motives connected by hook, necessary contrast creates doubler - black dress of the fitting silhouette.


Size: 50-52



Materials: 900 g x / yarn, 20 g of Lurex for finishing; hook No. 3.


Openwork fragment: see the scheme 1. To start knitting of each fragment make loop of working thread round forefinger of the left hand and would tie with its 12th Art., tighten ringlet for the free end, accurately fill thread. Continue to knit according to the scheme 1 further.


Description of knitting of dress: the dress is executed from openwork round fragments which join in the course of knitting the main cloth semi-columns according to the scheme 2. The quantity of fragments depends on their size. Correct the offered pattern by the sizes and when performing work be verified with it.


Sborka:soyediniv all fragments, humidify all product and pin to pattern for giving of necessary form. Carefully press, without stretching cloth. Finished product tie with thread with Lurex addition by arches from 4 accusative from peak.

PERFORMANCE OF THE CROSSED LOOPS

Crossing of loops — this provyazyvaniye of two or three loops not one after another, but without use of additional spoke. It is very easy way of creation of patterns in which formed by the crossed loops of the line are located on surface of knitted cloth. Some samples of patterns from the crossed loops are similar to the reduced copies of plaits, others allow to create diagonals, zigzags and rhombuses.


The crossing of loops pulls together knitted cloth, therefore, with large number of the crossed loops samples can make knitted cloth more dense and less elastic if, of course, not to use thicker spokes.


The crossed loops are generally simple performed by, however there is set of their versions which significantly change type of decussation of loops.


The crossing of loops can be executed both in front, and in back ranks, thus loops can be provyazana both front, and back or in combination with these loops.


Patterns with the crossed loops in rotary knitting it is very simple to knit according to the scheme - especially it concerns patterns with movement of loops in each row. Simply read each number of the scheme from right to left, as appropriate changing symbols in rebaptisms of front ranks.


HOW to EXECUTE DECUSSATION TO THE LEFT This decussation is carried out in front row. As loops change place, the first loop lies from above and is inclined to the left while the loop lying behind it are carried out from back wall. 1. Execute front loop from back wall of the second loop.



2. Execute front loop from front wall of the first loop.



3. At the same time dump both loops from the left spoke.



DECUSSATION OPTIONS TO THE LEFT to execute decussation to the left from two loops which provyazana front and back will be, execute back loop from back wall of the second loop, then front loop from front wall of the first loop.


For decussation with inclination to the left in back row execute back loop from back wall of the second loop, then back loop from front wall of the first loop.


HOW to EXECUTE DECUSSATION TO THE RIGHT In this decussation executed in front row, the second loop lies from above and is inclined to the right while the loop which is behind is executed from back wall. 1.Execute front loop from front wall of the second loop.



2.Execute front loop from back wall of the first loop.



3. At the same time dump both loops from the left spoke.



DECUSSATION OPTIONS to Knit front of lobby TO THE RIGHT, but not from back wall of the first loop, carrying out step 2. Or to knit two loops together, and then again to provyazat the first loop before dumping both loops from the left spoke.


For performance of decussation to the right from front and back loops execute front loop from front wall of the second loop, then provyazhita back the first loop.


For decussation to the right of two loops in back row provyazhit back loop from front wall of the second loop, then back of front wall of the first loop.

PATTERNS FROM THE CROSSED LOOPS

Patterns from the crossed loops. The crossed loops sometimes are combined with the patterns consisting of plaits and the small crossed loops which compensate roughnesses of plaits. Advantage of the crossed loops is that they are carried out quicker, than plaits.


The description of performance of the crossed loops look here.


Interlacing Lomannaya asparagus. In this pattern of knitting decussations to the right and to the left, executed against chulochny knitting are used. Thus upper loops are more relief as they are removed neprovyazanny in back ranks.



The small grid When knitting from 10 loops this pattern forms the panel of the crossing rhombuses.



Small braid. Use this pattern as interesting alternative to elastic band; simply plan bigger number of back loops between braids that it corresponded to your design.



Elastic band with branches. This decorative elastic band not really stretches therefore it can be used as continuous pattern. If you want that all branches looked in one party as rapport use the first or last eight loops of the scheme.



Blocks from hand bells. Simply cross loops at the top of each block for receiving this charming pattern.



Wave and decussation. Curved knitting gives the chance to gain tiny lacing effect.



Imitation of plait. This attractive sample of knitting is much simpler, than looks. In it decussations from three loops are used.



Imitation of plait 2. This sample allows to create effect of Arran pattern in miniature.



Decussation from two loops. Simple decussations of loops from upper side and in provyazanny back loops ranks of reverse side give originality to this simple knitting.



Lattice with the removed loops. For lattice with decussation from three loops knit the first and second ranks two times, then with third on the tenth ranks. Two times execute ranks 11 and 12, then ranks 13 and 20, repeating them in the 24th row. For wider lattice repeat rapport from 10 loops, carrying out two additional back loops between decussations in the first row, then four times moving loops for creation of outline of rhombus.



The overwound elastic band. The crossing of two loops in each row allows to receive dense elastic band with accurate outlines.



Zigzags. Zigzags chulochny knitting are outlined by the crossed loops for giving of additional clearness of the textured sample surface.



The turned pyramids. Instead of crossing of loops from seamy side of the turned pyramids plaits can be executed, however the crossing of loops allows to provide equal structure of knitted cloth.



Diagonals from the removed loops. Removal of the moved loops in the previous row extends them and gives additional clearness to diagonals and elastic band.



Ovals from the removed loops. Removal of loops in back ranks under the crossed loops allows to create the graceful bends imitating oval plaits.



Pattern oak leaf. The motive basis oak leaf is made by the diagonals from the removed loops executed in the refined textured form from front and back loops.



Motive with hand bell. Of course, actually you will not be able to execute loop across! You should embroider two chains of loops necessary for end of bend in upper part of stalk of flower when you finish knitting of motive. To execute other part of motive surprisingly simply.



The branching leaves. You will find out that the rapport from 20 rows is rather simple in performance, even in spite of the fact that it is necessary to watch crossing of loops in back ranks.
