KNITTING BY HOOK IN STYLE ENTERLAK

Original technology of knitting by hook by the principle of the Tunisian knitting with chess pattern of squares similar to knitted cloths in style enterlak or patchwork. Knitting with the Tunisian pattern is much softer, than the hook cloth and in too time does not stretch as when knitting by spokes. Let's consider in detail knitting from corner diagonal ranks from squares for receiving cloth with smooth edge, it is also possible to knit in this equipment direct ranks of squares, but with shaped edge.

You can knit in this equipment from squares of any size, but for big squares you will need long Tunisian hook. On example knitting from squares 6 loops wide is shown. To start one square gather chain of 13 loops (6+6+odna angular loop).

Then enter hook into the first loop from hook, take working thread and extend loop on hook.

Leave new loop on hook and also extend loop from the following loop of initial chain, so you have to make 7 times and on hook 8 loops are formed.

Then take working thread and provyazhit the first two loops from hook.

Further also take working thread and provyazyvayta on two loops from hook until the end of row.

The first row of square is ready, by its consideration you will see verticalcrossing points ahead of each loop.

Gathering loops for the following row enter hook for this thread ahead of each loop, take working thread and extend loop on hook.

So repeat 6 times, and extend the seventh loop from loop of initial chain.

Then provyazhit the second row also as well as the first.

The third, fourth, fifth and sixth row knit also as well as the first: in the beginning gather loops on hook of 6 loops on row and one loop from initial chain, then provyazhit row in the opposite direction.

The seventh final row of square knit connecting loops: enter hook at once for front crossing point and semi-loop, then having taken thread, provyazhit connecting column, so repeat until the end of number of 7 times, at the end fix thread and cut off.

Each new diagonal row begins from below from the right corner and goes up. Attach thread for new row to the right bottom corner of square and gather chain of 7 air loops.

On each loop of chain gather 6 loops on hook, and the seventh of lateral part of square entering hook for both semi-loops.

Then provyazhit the gathered loops.

For the second and to sixth row also gather on hook of 6 loops on row and the 7th loop from lateral part of square, and their provyazyvayta in the opposite direction.

In seventh row knit row connecting loops also as well as in the first square and the last make connecting loop in corner of the first square.

For the second square gather also chain of the 7 air loops and knit it also as well as the previous square, having finished knitting, fix and cut off thread.

For the following number of squares attach thread to the bottom right corner and gather chain of 7 loops, knit square also as well as in the previous row.

The following square is fixed on two parties of the previous number of squares therefore we extend loops on hook on the horizontal party of 6 loops and the 7th loop on vertical in the beginning, then provyazhit row in the opposite direction.

For the second row gather on hook of 6 loops on the 1st row and the 7th loop from lateral part and provyazhit row.

So knit to the 6th row and the 7th knit connecting loops.

For the following regional square again gather initial chain and, provyazav 7 rows, fix and cut off thread.

As you have already understood at arrangement of new square on one party of the previous row it is necessary to gather initial chain and if the square matches between two parties, loops are gathered on horizontal edge.

You can begin knitting of number of squares from internal corner and also finish, creating cloth of the necessary sizes and form.

it is possible to knit ranks from right to left, on example on three squares among, thus the edge of cloth will turn out with cloves.

For this purpose gather chain at once for three squares (39 loops) and knit as the first - three squares. Then attach thread to extreme right square at top or to extreme corner and knit the following ranks.
