Knitting of decorative braid in direct cloth

The set of loops is carried out by yarn of two contrast colors. Make initial loop of two threads, having put them together.

Put on initial loop spokes, and threads arrange on fingers as on photo.

Further gather loops getting spoke under thread on thumb and taking thread from forefinger.

Having gathered necessary quantity of loops, turn work and remove from spokes initial loop from two threads.

Further knit the first row which will be back- back loops, alternately one loop light thread, one dark, and threads from ball have before work in order that twisting of threads was on seamy side.

Having finished initial row turn work and start knitting of the first row of braid. The braid consists of two rows of pattern from back loops, and the pattern of interlacing of threads is received from twisting of threads in certain order on upper side. Thus, we place threads from balls on upper side and light loop provyazyvay light thread, then move threadoverwinding it counterclockwise from the dark.

Further knit dark loop dark thread and again move the end of thread overwinding it with light, also against hour hand.

So provyazhit row.

Then turn work, and knit back row:loops light - light thread, dark- dark - front that on upper side there was pattern of back loops,threads overwind on reverse side counterclockwise.

Having finished row and perevnuv work will see ready braid.

To change the direction of braid, it is necessary to perekruchivanit threads upside-down.

Knitting of decorative braid around.

When knitting around as izvetsno, we knit always front ranks therefore having made set of loops on circular or chulochny spokes, the way described above knit the first row front loops, alternating threads dark and light, overwinding threads behind work.

In the following circular row we start knitting braid, for this purpose arrange threads from balls on upper side, before work and knit two rows back loops, provyazyvy light loops light thread, dark the dark as before.In the first circle overwinding threads counterclockwise.
