French and American gum knitting needles - even newcomer in knitting

At first, it may seem that knitting by French elastic band is not easy. However, if you figure it out in the scheme, then even a beginner needlewoman will cope with this pattern - it is necessary to master only two rows, which alternate in the process of knitting.

The appearance of the pattern resembles the "corrugation", so it is often used in knitting children's skirts and as a finish. It looks great on the header, stern and even on the verges!

This gum sticks with alternating two facial and two wrong loops and looks very impressive and beautiful. Crossing the loops is done in each report - 2 facial loops are crossed in the front rows, and in the involnee - invalid loops.

Scheme number 1

The first loop is facial in the face row and the purl in the purl, the second loop is the facial, the third loop is facial in the involne and the wrong one in the face row, the fourth loop is an insane in all rows.

1st row - * 2 facial, 2 irons *, repeat from * to *, 1 facial;

2nd row - * 2 Pouring, 2 facial *, 1 wrong.

Scheme number 2.

Pattern 3 loops + 1 loop for symmetry + 2 edges (on the diagram are not specified), repeat the pattern from the 1st to the 2nd row.

1st row: * 1 izn., 2 reps. Persons. loops (2-loops without removing from the left knitting knitting for the rear wall of the face, after to penetrate the 1st loop and both remove on the right needle) * repeat from * and to * the required number of times and finish the range 1 of the IZN;

2nd row: 1 persons., * 2 is elevated. Crossed (first to peck 2-yd. loop, thread before work, then penetrate the 1st Izn.), 1 individuals. P.*;

If you want to associate such a pattern in a circle, then use only the loop of the report, without additional and edge loops. Also, with circles of knitting, the 2nd row scheme will change, namely:

1st row: * 1 izn., 2 reps. Persons. loops (2 loops without removing from the left knitting knitting for the rear wall of the face, after penetrating the 1st loop and both remove on the right needle) * repeat from * and up to * until the end of the row;

2nd row: * 1 izn., 2 reps. Persons. Loops (2 loops without removing from the left knitting needles for the rear wall of the face, after sticking the 1st loop and both remove on the right knitter) * repeat from * and up to * until the end of the row.

Scheme number 3.

Pattern of 4 patterns 4 loops + 2 loops for symmetry pattern + 2 edges

1st row: 1 out., * 1 is broken., 2 switches. Persons. Loop (2nd loop without removing from the left knitting needles for the rear wall of the face, after the 1st loop and both remove on the right knitting needle), 1 out. *, repeat from * and to * the required number of times and finish rod 1 ;

2nd row: 1 Persons., * 1 Persons., 2 Ozn. Crossed (first to peck 2-yd. loop, thread before work, then penetrate the 1st Izn.), 1 individuals. p. *, 1 persons.

Repeat the 1st and 2nd rows until the desired length of the canvas is reached.
