A common case: I like a dress or a blouse knitted in a photograph, but there is no pattern to.
We have to understand on our own what kind of pattern and how to connect it.
In fact, you can determine the pattern by several signs. In order not to strain too much, try to figure out the method of knitting according to the following instructions.
By density
The first thing you need to pay attention to is the density of the mating. It is thanks to this that you can already determine the style of knitting and the necessary techniques.
- The dense pattern is knitted with crochet, connecting / fluffy / convex columns. Air loops are rarely added;
- A translucent pattern with empty places fits in most cases with air loops with posts (connecting or crocheted) as a link with other rows.
It is still important to note that the density of the thread also plays a significant role.
Can tie visually tight pattern with air loops, but a thin thread. Or vice versa light at first glance, but very thin thread and some columns.
In the direction of knitting
You also need to consider the direction of knitting, namely the presence or absence of bends.
A variety of zigzags are knitted with a certain number of air loops, through which more crochet posts are knitted.
Due to this, a wave-like pattern is created.
Straight pattern - a sign of a well-established system with the same number of loops and posts.
So, if the pattern is with bends, then you can safely experiment with different ratios of columns and loops.
Based on
The motive in knitting is only part of a full-fledged work. It is repeated several times, and then all the developments are stitched or connected to each other.
Therefore, you need to understand what is in front of you: work of motive or whole.
The main thing is to determine in the finished product, the motives are connected together or several different reports alternate.
If the motive, then you need to consider a specific pattern apart from the product. If the report - all rows together.
Knowing what to look for, it will be easier to determine the method and pattern of knitting.
For instance, This dress is connected with reports, despite the two-color. When knitting, fewer stitches and more double crochets are used. In the transitions between the rows use a lighter pattern with a large number of v / p and st / s n. as a compound.
