CROCHET SYMBOLS

A chain of air loops is the basis of each pattern. The air loops are knitted as follows: the working thread (about 10 cm from the end) is taken onto the index finger of the left hand, the hook is brought under the thread, turned from left to right, forming the first loop. Holding the crossing point with the thumb of your left hand, hook the working thread and pull it through the first loop. The chain is knitted by pulling a loop through a loop, etc.

It is very important to hold the hook and the product in your hand correctly. The hook is held in right hand like a pencil. If there is a flat dent on the hook, you should keep your hand on it, without changing the position of the hook in your hand while working. The working thread and knitting are held in the left hand.

This column is used when knitting the final row and connecting individual parts. They knit a chain used on the wrong side ( Irish lace). They knit a chain, turn it over so that the hook is at its right end, insert the hook into the penultimate loop of the chain, hook the working thread, pull it through both loops, etc.

Knit a chain, insert a hook into its penultimate loop, hook the working thread and pull out a new loop. Then the thread is hooked again, pulled through both loops, etc. So that the product can be unfolded and its edges are even, one air loop is knitted at the end of the row for lifting.

You can knit four different patterns with single crochets.

1. Plain knitting pattern: when knitting the second and subsequent rows with single crochets, the hook is inserted from the front under the edges of both main loops.

2. Striped pattern: the hook is inserted from the front under the front loop.

3. Relief pattern: the hook is inserted from above under the back loop.

4. The posts are used to knit the final row of the product. Without changing the position of the product, knit single crochets in the opposite direction - from left to right. The hook is inserted from above under the two upper loops, the working thread is hooked and the free loop is pulled out. Once again, grab the working thread, knit both loops together, etc.

Having knitted a chain of the required length, it is turned so that the hook is at its right end. Throwing the thread over the hook, insert it from the front into the third loop of the chain. There are three loops on the hook. Having grabbed the thread, it is pulled through all three loops, one loop remains on the hook, etc.

Column with nak I'm going

Having knitted the chain, make one yarn over, insert the hook into the third loop of the warp (counting from the hook) and pull out a new loop. There are three loops on the hook. Having hooked the thread, pull it through two loops. There are two loops on the hook. Once again, grab the thread and pull it through the last two loops. There is one loop left on the hook. The second stitch is knitted on the next stitch or according to the pattern. So that the product can be unfolded and its edges are even, two air loops are knitted at the end of the row. When knitting the next row of double crochets, the hook is inserted under the top two loops. If the pattern requires two or more stitches to be knitted in one place, they are knitted between the posts or under the two upper loops of the warp.

Double crochet stitch

A double crochet stitch is knitted similarly to a double crochet stitch. Using a working thread, make two yarn overs, insert the hook into the fourth loop, warp and then knit every two loops together.

Columns with three, four, etc. They knit with yarn overs, making the corresponding number of yarn overs with the working thread. The hook is inserted into the main loop, counting from the edge the number of loops by two loops more than the yarn overs on the hook, then two loops are sequentially knitted together until one loop remains on the hook. So that the product can be rotated and the edges are even, at the end of the row one more chain loop is knitted than there are yarn overs on the hook.

This column achieves convexity on the product. Make four to five yarn overs, then insert the hook into the main loop and knit all the resulting loops together.

Knit three air loops and a connecting post connect to the first loop.

Three chain stitches are knitted, a yarn over is made, the hook is inserted into the first chain stitch and two loops are sequentially knitted together, like a double crochet.

Fringe

There are two ways to knit fringe - knit and purl. sides

The first option is to knit the fringe from the front side. The first row is knitted like this: throw the thread over thumb left hand and form a loop. Then place the hook on the thread on top, insert the hook into the main loop of the previous row, take the thread and knit a single crochet.

The second option is to knit the fringe from the wrong side. Wrap the thread around a pencil or rack and knit a single crochet.

Checkerboard (two-color pattern)

Knit a mesh (base with windows), alternating colors in each row (double crochet, chain stitch, etc.). Then, using a darning needle or crochet, pull a thicker thread into each window (in one “window” from above, into the next - from below, and again in the opposite direction), in a checkerboard pattern.

Two single crochets are knitted under the top two loops or between the stitches of the previous row.

Two double crochets are knitted between the previous stitches row.

There are two ways - three columns in one place are tied under the two upper loops or between the columns of the previous row.

Three columns are knitted in one place and the last column is attached to the base with a connecting column.

Four stitches are knitted between the stitches of the previous row or above the chain stitches, encircling the chain.

Nine stitches are knitted between the stitches or under the top two loops of the previous row.

Five columns knitted with a crochet or double crochet up to half, i.e., for each column the last loop remains unknitted on the hook. Five loops plus the main loop remain on the hook. Yarn over, pull it through all the loops and knit a connecting stitch.

Seven double crochets or double crochets are knitted up to half, i.e., for each column the last loop remains on crocheted uncrocheted. Seven loops plus the main loop remain on the hook. Yarn over, pull it through all the loops and knit connecting post.

Nine stitches are knitted together. Each stitch is knitted over the stitch of the previous row, leaving the last loop on the hook (nine loops plus the first loop). Yarn over, pull it through all the loops and knit a connecting stitch.

Three double crochets are knitted into the aerial circle of the previous row. Each stitch is not knitted to the end, leaving the last loop on the hook. Yarn over, pull it through all four loops and knit a connecting stitch.

Three double crochets are knitted in one place of the previous row and knitted together. As in previous cases, the last loop from each stitch is left on the hook, then the weight of the loop is knitted together.

Yarn over, then the hook is inserted into the main loop under two top loops or between the posts of the previous row and pull out a long loop (from 1 to 2 cm, depending on the thickness of the thread). Then make another yarn over and pull out a second loop in the same place. The action is repeated 3 - 4 times, then all the loops together.

The tubercle is knitted, clasping the column of the previous row or next to it below.

Notations in crochet were invented a long time ago, but even today they are considered the main way to record pattern designs. In order to be able to knit according to patterns, you need to know symbols.

Each type of loop has its own clear sign, just like in musical notation. This greatly simplifies the work and reduces the space for recording diagrams.

Crochet: symbols on diagrams

Read knitting patterns follows from top to bottom. Designations on crochet patterns are placed in such a way that all even rows (2nd, 4th, 6th, etc.) are read from left to right, and all odd rows (1st, 3rd, 5th). th, etc.) - from right to left. When you finish knitting the motif, the pattern needs to be knitted from bottom to top (starting from the 1st row). Sometimes it is possible that the symbols on a crochet pattern are repeated from the 2nd, 3rd or 4th row.

Designation of loops when crocheting and description of symbols

• Air loop. The hook needs to be turned with the barb to the left and, moving away from you, insert it under the thread upwards from index finger left hand, turn the hook with thread around the thread in the direction opposite to the clockwise movement. With the thumb of your left hand, press the thread against your index finger in the place where it twisted, and reinsert the hook under the thread on the left side. To form the 2nd stitch, insert the hook under the thread on the left side and, prying it up, pull it through the stitch that is on the hook. Thus, a number of steps are performed, forming a chain.
• Connecting post. Insert hook into 2nd c. p. from the hook. Take the working thread and pull it through the loop before. R. and through p. on the hook. Insert your hook into the trace. V. P.
• WITH single crochet. Insert the hook into the 3rd stitch on the right, grab the working thread and pull it out - you get 2 stitches on the hook. Grab your working thread again and pull through 2 stitches at once.
• WITH double crochet Yarn over, insert the hook into the 4th stitch on the right, grab your working thread and pull it out - you will get 2 stitches on the hook. Grab your working thread again and pull through 2 stitches - there will be 2 stitches left on the hook again. And grab it again working thread and pull through these 2 sts.
• WITH double crochet stitch. When making double crochets, make 2 yarn overs, and knit all stitches on the hook 2 together.
• WITH double crochet with 3 double crochets. When making stitches with 3 yarn overs, perform 3 yarn overs, and all stitches that are on the hook are knitted 2 together.
• Pico. 3rd century p. and 1 single crochet in 1st century. P.
• Lush column. 3 unfinished stitches knitted together in 1 base stitch.
• Decrease loops. Knit 2 stitches in the 1st row together through the same number of stitches and after 1 or several r. pattern.
• Adding loops. To expand the product in the 1st paragraph of the lower row. knit from 2 to 5 loops. Add p. after 1 r. pattern. To add sts at the end of the row, knit the required number of sts. chains, and in the opposite direction they knit according to the pattern.
• Half column. Having tied the chain, the hook is inserted into the 3rd point of the chain and, having hooked the working thread (by making a yarn over the hook), pull it through the point of the chain and the point that is on the hook.
• Crossed column. Skip 1 stitch of the chain, 1 double crochet (insert the hook under the next stitch of the chain), 1 double crochet (insert the hook back under the skipped stitch of the chain).
• IN convex column (front). Knit row 1 simple columns double crochet Then turn the work, knit 3 in. p. for lifting. Yarn over, insert the hook behind the 2nd double crochet before. row. In this case, the double crochet will be on top of the hook.

• Concave column (purl). Grab your working thread, then pull out a loop, knit a stitch as usual. Such relief column on the reverse side it will look very similar to a concave column. If you make only such embossed columns in all rows, then your canvas will look the same on both sides.

It’s not difficult to understand the diagrams if you know the symbols, but once you master them, you can easily create beautiful things with your own hands for yourself and your loved ones.

It can be difficult for beginner needlewomen to understand how to read crochet patterns. Difficulties arise in determining the direction of work or the beginning of a series, and there are discrepancies in the symbols.

There are a number of rules that allow you to easily and accurately decipher crochet patterns.

Here you will find all the crochet symbols that exist today, and the question of how to read crochet patterns will no longer be relevant for you!

Typically, subject journals or individual diagrams are accompanied by a list of the symbols used.
However, there are standard or most commonly used symbols that form a kind of alphabet.

Crochet designations

These are, as a rule, stylized signs of the knitting elements themselves.

An air loop (air loop) is usually depicted as a white hollow or black filled circle. If it has a slightly elongated, oval shape

Then the loop should be elongated.

Several consecutive circles or an arc with a number are used to indicate a chain of air. loops, the number shows their number. 1

- closed chain of 3-4 air. p. – pico.

Sometimes a black dot can symbolize the beginning of work, a half-loop or a connecting post (connecting post). Another designation conn. st or half-column is a semicircle

A large white circle with a number inside, for example, like this:

Used to indicate the first row in circular knitting. The number in the center shows how many loops it consists of.

The same circle without a number stands for a ring of yarn.

Various columns in the diagrams are indicated by vertical lines with or without transverse notches. The signs +, ┬ or × are used to indicate where to knit a single crochet (dc).

A vertical stick serves to indicate a half-column or st. b/n. The number of yarn overs is determined by the number of notches on it (st. /1n., st. /2n.). Semicircle under the column

helps to distinguish a regular element from a relief one. Moreover, if the semicircle is open with right side, then the sign means a drowning purl st. or "at work."

If on the left side, then the protruding front st. or "before work."

Groups of stitches knitted from the same loop or combined into one loop are designated as emanating from the same point

or converging to one point

slanted lines. In the place where the crossed double crochet is performed, the following sign is placed:

If between these columns it is necessary to make a jumper from air. etc., then in the diagram you can see the following symbol:

Also, from the designations when crocheting, you can find out the number of yarn overs on the posts.

Knitting direction

At the next stage, deciphering crochet patterns will require determining the first and last rows, as well as the direction of work. The rectangular fabric is made in straight and reverse rows.

The air chain from which it begins is considered a zero row and is not taken into account in the calculations. All odd-numbered knit rows are performed from right to left, and even purl rows are performed from left to right.

Sometimes, to simplify the perception of the diagram, each row in it is painted a certain color.

Circular knitting is done in closed concentric rows. For those who do not know how to read crochet patterns, it can be difficult to determine where to start a new row and its direction.

Round or square motifs performed from the center to the edges counterclockwise. At the beginning of each new row, one or more lifting loops are made, and at the end - a connection. Art.

Using them you can determine where one row ends and the next begins.

If you do not make lifting loops and connections. Art., you get a motive connected in a spiral.

Pattern repeat

The repeating part of the pattern - rapport - can be highlighted in the diagram in two ways:

• lines or square brackets;
• asterisks *;
• in a different color.

Knowing the number of loops and rows in one repeat, as well as its width and height in centimeters, you can easily calculate the number of loops needed to create a fabric of a certain size.

On a circular diagram, only one of the rapport sectors is often depicted. To ensure that the canvas is not wavy or cone-shaped, it is necessary to correctly calculate their number.

To do this, the number of pattern elements in the last complete row, which is shown in the diagram, is divided by the number of elements that make up the base of the depicted segment.

This is how many times rapport should be repeated when knitting a circular motif.

Drawing knitted pattern, as a rule, consists of identical repeating elements. The combination of such repeating elements constitutes a fragment of the pattern. A single repeating fragment of a pattern is called a motif.

The knitting pattern of a pattern, which is a collection of elements and motifs, can be written down in the form of text. However, using such a notation, especially if the pattern is quite complex, can turn into a big problem. Therefore, to record a pattern, it is more convenient to use special notations on crochet patterns.

When crocheting according to the proposed patterns from magazines, you need to remember that:

The diagrams are read from bottom to top.

The rows are read alternately once from right to left, and another time from left to right.

Circular rows are always read from right to left.

The rapport concluded in the diagram between the arrows must be constantly repeated.

Loops outside the area limited by the arrows are knitted only at the beginning and end of the row.

Since different sources contain different names and designations for loops, I tried to collect information from many sites so as not to miss anything important.

Symbols for designation in crochet patterns:
– air loop chain
– chain air loop for lifting
– half-column (1 lifting loop)
– short stitch, or single crochet (2 lifting loops)
– a simple double crochet or double crochet (3 lifting loops)
– double stitch, or double crochet stitch (4 lifting loops)
– triple stitch, or double crochet stitch (5 lifting loops)
– double crochet stitch (6 lifting loops)
– concave double crochet
– convex double crochet
– slingshot of 2 double crochets
– slingshot of 2 double crochets through an air loop
– scales from double crochets
– double double crochet
– triple double crochet
– double shortened stitch with 4 crochets

Another variant:

The website knitting-info.ru offers the following designations:

Scheme for performing an air loop:

Scheme for performing a single crochet stitch:

Double crochet pattern:

Half-column execution scheme:

Scheme for performing a half single crochet for the back loop:

Scheme for making a double crochet stitch:

Lush column:

Knit 2 or more double crochets into one loop of the previous row, but do not complete them, leaving a loop from each stitch on the hook. Then make a yarn over and knit all the loops on the hook.
Another option for making a puffy stitch: pull out several loops (usually 3-6) from one loop to approximately the height of a double crochet. Then pick up the working thread and use it to knit all the elongated loops together, except for the last one. At the end, knit this last loop and the previous one with one yarn over.
Lush columns have a voluminous effect, but do not hold their shape well, so they are alternated with columns with one or more crochets, depending on the height of the lush column, and also after knitting a number of lush columns, to secure the elements, a series of single crochets is knitted.
Due to its texture lush column, as an independent element for knitting fabric. A more beautiful effect is achieved when making lush columns on openwork or dense fabric.

Groups of columns with a common base (fans)
Groups of columns with a common base are called “fans”. The technique for performing them is to knit double crochets (or double crochets) on one loop of the previous row.
1. Yarn over, insert the hook into the base loop and knit a double crochet (Fig. 1).
2. Yarn over again, insert the hook into the same base loop and knit another double crochet (Fig. 2). Repeat step 2 as many times as necessary according to the drawing. The result is “fans” radiating upward (Fig. 3).

3. When knitting “fans” in subsequent rows, the hook can be inserted between the “fans” (Fig. 4, 5) or into the middle element of the “fans” of the previous row (Fig. 6).

4. In some patterns, when knitting “fans”, there may be air loops between the posts (Fig. 6).

“Fans” are used for knitting openwork fabric, tying products, and also as an element for adding loops along the edge of the fabric.

Groups of columns with a common top
Columns with a common top are also called incomplete columns.
This crochet element is used to make openwork fabric and to decrease stitches.

Technique for making unfinished columns:
1. Yarn over, insert the hook into the base loop and pull the working thread through it. There are 3 loops on the hook.
2. Yarn over and pull the working yarn through 2 loops on the hook.
3. There are 2 loops on the hook (Fig. 1). Repeat steps 1 and 2, inserting the hook into the next base loop (Fig. 2).
4. There are 3 loops on the hook. Repeat steps 1 and 2, inserting the hook into the next base loop.
5. There are 4 loops on the hook (Fig. 3). Yarn over and pull the working thread through all the loops on the hook in one step (Fig. 4) and make one chain loop to secure the previous one (Fig. 5).
This is how 3 columns are knitted with a common top. If the drawing indicates a different number of columns, then steps 1 and 2 must be repeated as many times as necessary according to the drawing. And then follow step 4.

Relief columns
Relief columns can be convex (front, before work) and concave (back, behind work).

Technique for making convex (facial) columns:

2. Yarn over, insert the hook behind the second double crochet of the previous row (Fig. 1). In this case, the double crochet is on top of the hook.
3. Grab the working thread, pull out the loop and knit like a regular double crochet (Fig. 2).
Such a relief column from the wrong side will look like a concave one. If you make only such relief columns in all rows, then the canvas will look the same on both sides.

Technique for making concave (purl) stitches:
1. The first row is always knitted with simple double crochets! Make 3 chain stitches instead of the first stitch of the next row and turn the knitting.
2. Yarn over, insert the hook around the second double crochet of the previous row (Fig. 3). In this case, the double crochet is under the hook.
3. Grab the working thread, pull the loop to the wrong side of the work (Fig. 4) and knit like a regular double crochet (Fig. 5).
Such a relief column from the wrong side will look like a convex one. By making convex and concave columns in different combinations, you can get various types of elastic bands.

Rice. 3 - 4 - 5

Rice. 6

Sometimes overhead embossed columns are knitted. Such a column can be considered the front one. It is performed only in front rows when knitting in two directions or through a row when knitting in the round. Insert the hook, wrapping around the column of the previous row (Fig. 6), which is indicated by the arrow of the symbol, pull the loop to the height of the working row and knit a regular front relief column (Fig. 7). Using the same method, you can knit a relief lush column (Fig. 8).

Columns on the leg
The post on the leg (post - fork) is one of the rarely used elements in crochet. Its implementation requires experience and skill. If you have already mastered doing double crochets, then with a little practice you will be able to knit these wonderful elements with ease.
The columns on the legs are very elegant, with the help of them you can knit “lace leaf fall”. Patterns associated with this element can be found in napkins and tablecloths, but if desired, similar patterns can be used to knit a chic item for your wardrobe.

Technique for making columns on a leg.
1. Tie a double crochet stitch (Fig. 1). The figure shows 3 yarn overs knitted in the form of 3 transverse “crossbars”.
2. Yarn over and insert the hook under the middle crossbar of the double crochet stitch, grab the working thread (Fig. 2) and pull out the loop. There are 3 loops on the hook (Fig. 3). Next, knit like a regular double crochet: yarn over, pull the working thread through 2 loops on the hook, yarn over again and pull the working thread through the remaining 2 loops on the hook (Fig. 4).

Rice. 1 - 2 - 3

If desired, or if indicated in the diagram, you can knit several columns on the leg - a “shell” or “fan”. That is, repeat step 2 several times, inserting the hook into the same loop. In this case, under the middle crossbar of a post with three crochets. You can also make air loops or knit picots between the posts on the leg.

In Fig. 5 you see an element in the form of 2 columns on a leg. A stitch with 3 crochets, in the middle of which 2 stitches with one crochet are knitted. The number of yarn overs, both in the leg column and in other columns, as well as the place where the hook is inserted into the leg column can be different. You need to look at the diagram carefully.

Here you can see the legend various types columns on the leg and detailed descriptions of their implementation.

Cross-shaped posts
The diagrams indicate X with a highlighted center, or with strokes on the bottom and on upper parts. The number of strokes on one leg corresponds to the number of yarn overs in the column. (Please note! Regardless of the number of yarn overs or separating chain stitches at the base-top, there are only two of these stitches in the element!):

Crossed columns:— an element may consist of a group of columns, one part of which is crossed by another group to the left or right. In this case, the completed first group of columns, regardless of the number, is tied with a second group on both sides - the first columns are tied into the second. They are indicated by crossed column signs. The designations on the diagram are knitted in order - first, 1 or 2 columns are knitted, the tops of which are located closer to the beginning of the row, i.e. to the left. The base of the leg of the column shows the point of insertion of the hook into the fabric and the number of loops of the bottom row that need to be skipped. When knitting the second half of the crossed stitches directed in the other direction, the hook is inserted into the previously skipped loops, starting from the first of them from left to right. As a result, the legs of the first half of the columns are tied inside the legs of the second half of the columns.

Intersecting, crossed columns: This group of columns is made similarly to crossed columns so that a group of one columns passes either above or below a group of second columns, but at the same time they are not fastened together. In the diagrams, one group is indicated by a dotted line (the columns of the lower knitting are located along wrong side canvas); the second group of columns is indicated by a solid, continuous line - these columns are located on top of the first lower group along front side canvases.

When performing crochet arans, “braids” and “harnesses”, groups of embossed (convex or concave) crossed columns with one or more number of crochets are used. Crossed posts can be made by placing the first or second group of posts on top to create a right slant or a left slant.

Notes.
1. Crossed and intersecting columns can be columns with any number of crochets, and you can also intersect lush columns with ordinary columns, as shown on the 1st page in the notation provided by Ira Rott.
First, you always knit a dc, and then a fluffy stitch directed in the other direction.
2. In patterns between the vertices of intersecting or crossed columns, if necessary, you can knit dividing air loops, then between the legs of these columns the same number of columns (loops) of the previous row are passed.
