Shadow pattern with knitting needles. Scheme and description

The shadow pattern with knitting needles, the diagram with the description of which will be provided in the article, is not only simple in execution, but also looks very beautiful in the finished product. Such patterns consist of alternating the front and back loops in a certain sequence. In this technique, you can perform geometric patterns, for example, zigzag, diagonals, stripes, squares and others. But the geometry of the possibility of shadow patterns is not limited, in this technique you can perform whole pictures: portraits, landscapes, still lifes.

Let us consider in more detail what knitting is like by knitting. Shadow patterns (schemes attached) will add to your collection of simple but interesting knitted ornaments.

What to connect with shadow patterns

Let's see what the shadow pattern is like with knitting needles. The scheme of it is perfect for making plaids or cloaks for chairs and chairs. The drawing turns out to be volumetric, interesting and does not require yarn of different colors. It is well suited for knitting men's things. Men do not like bright ornate ornaments, and knit simple smooth often becomes boring, here in the help comes the opportunity to tie the shadow pattern with knitting needles.

Its scheme can be used for any product - for both children and adults. They can decorate a sweater, a cardigan, a sleeveless jacket, a snore or a hat. Another plus of shadow patterns is that they are two-sided, which is perfect for knitting scarves and stoles.

Selection of yarn and tools

To knit shadow patterns, any yarn will work, but the pattern will be read more clearly on a canvas bound from a thick volumetric yarn. So the product will look impressive and stylish, even if the drawing is quite simple. You can take ready-made thick yarn, or fold more thin thread.

Needles are needed in such a size as the manufacturer recommends for the selected yarn. But if you need a dense, inelastic cloth, for example, for a blanket, take the needles one-and-a-half the size smaller. If you take a tool of a larger size, then there is a risk that the canvas will turn out too loose, and the pattern is not clear enough.

Schemes and description

Shadow patterns with spokes (schemes and descriptions to which will be further) are performed only from the alternation of the front and back loops. The description for such patterns is enclosed in an exact sequence of loops. It is important to properly observe the order, so that the picture does not "get lost".

We will analyze the shadow pattern with knitting needles (diagram on the photo) with hearts. In the front rows, all the loops, which are indicated on the scheme with white cells, are tied with the facial ones, and those that are marked in red need to be knitted with the backs. In the purlins, that is, in all even rows, we act on the contrary: white cells are sewed with a purl loops, red ones with facial loops. The pattern is two-sided. On the front side, the hearts will be voluminous, with the purple background.

The scheme of the figure with the lock is more complicated due to its size. Proceed in the same way as in the first case, the main thing is to carefully read the diagram.

For the convenience of working with such drawings, you can print out the scheme and mark the knotted areas with a pencil.
