The pattern is double-sided, it is used for knitting hats, scarves and warm sportswear. English gum quite loose and voluminous, stretches well. To knit a pattern sample on the knitting needles, the number of loops is divisible by three. In the event that the side edges are open, for example, if you knit a scarf, edge loops should not be added; so the side hem looks prettier. In the event that you are going to sew parts, add two edge loops and. Next, sew the details.

1 row: * (before the first loop), remove 1 loop, knit 2 loops together with the front, picking up the loops in front *;

2 row and all subsequent rows are knitted as the first, but not two loops are knitted together, but a pair of yarn-loop.

When closing the English elastic band (method 1), knit a pair of yarn over together, with a front loop, and knit the wrong loop with the wrong one; in this case, the edge will not be elastic. To obtain an elastic edge of the elastic band, the last row must be closed in method 3, but a pair of yarn-loop should be picked up with a needle as one loop.

Video lesson on knitting English gum

We are often asked how to knit an English rubber band in a circle. When knitting an English gum in a circle odd rows are knitted in the same way as with flat knitting, and in even rows, instead of the front one, a purl loop is knitted:

odd rows: * yarn over (before the first loop), remove 1 loop, knit 2 loops together*;

English gum "- very soft, fluffy and ideal for any product. With it, you can create a chic sweater, a fashionable scarf and an original hat for the cold season.

If we talk about knitting, English gum - the scheme is not difficult for those who follow all the instructions.

English rib knitting pattern

This pattern has become very popular, so today there are various options, interpretations and ways to knit it. I propose to move from the simplest to more complex options.

Simple English gum (the easiest way with a description)

So, the “English gum” pattern with knitting needles (knitting pattern).

Cast on an odd number of stitches and knit as follows:

1st row - knit in the sequence: 1 persons. loop, straight yarn over, remove the next loop without knitting while the working thread should be behind the work. Then repeat in the same sequence until the end of the row.

2nd row - knit in the sequence: straight yarn over, remove the next loop without knitting (working thread at the back of the work), knit the loop and yarn over of the previous row together with the left one. Then we repeat everything to the end of the row.

3rd row - knit in the sequence: knit the loop and yarn over of the previous row together with the front one, make a straight yarn over, remove the next loop without knitting. Repeat the pattern to the end of the row.

Simplified false or fake gum

To facilitate the process, the masters came up with an imitation of this pattern, which will not visually differ from the original, but the knitting technology is greatly simplified.

This pattern will be to your liking.

Volumetric two-tone

With the use of two colors, an amazing combination is created, which is suitable for bright and cheerful products. Two colors that harmonize well will help to give the image originality and originality.

The principle of knitting a two-color English gum is that the same row is knitted 2 times: once with a dark thread, and another time with a light thread.

The purl loops should be knitted as purl classic. The number of loops must be odd.

1 row: we knit with a dark thread - * 1 front, 1 yarn over, 1 loop to remove without knitting *, 1 front

2 row: knit with a light thread - * 1 yarn over, remove 1 loop without knitting, knit 1 loop together with the yarn over with the front loop *, 1 yarn over, remove 1 loop without knitting

3 row: we knit with a dark thread - Attention! We move the knitting to the opposite end of the knitting needle * 1 loop together with the crochet, knit with the wrong loop, 1 yarn over, remove 1 loop without knitting *, knit 1 loop with the yarn with the wrong loop

4 row: we knit with a light thread - * 1 yarn over, remove 1 loop without knitting, knit 1 loop together with the yarn over with a wrong loop *, 1 yarn over, remove 1 loop without knitting

5 row: we knit with a dark thread - Attention! We move the knitting to the opposite end of the knitting needle * 1 loop together with the yarn over, knit the front loop, 1 yarn over, remove 1 loop *, 1 loop together with the yarn over, knit the front loop. 2-5 rows are repeated.

Double ribbing - detailed knitting technology from scratch

For a 2 × 2 elastic, the number of loops is taken, divisible by 4 plus two hem:

  • 1 row. It is knitted as for a regular elastic band, two facial, two purl in sequence. The last two loops of the row are knitted with front loops.
  • 2 row. We repeat: we make a crochet, the next two loops are transferred to the right knitting needle not knitted, two facial ones. At the end of the row, a yarn is made and the last two loops are removed without knitting.
  • 3 row. We knit the yarn over and the loop of the previous row together with the front one, knit 1, yarn over, leave two loops not knitted. At the end of the row, we knit the penultimate loop with a front crochet and the last one also front.
  • 4 row. We knit according to the rapport: yarn over, two loops not knitted, the next loop is knitted together with the yarn over, then knit again. The row ends with one crochet and two unknitted loops.

By the same principle, starting from the third row, further knitting continues until the required size of the fabric is obtained.

How to subtract, add and close

Decrease

In order not to violate the sequence of loops of the patent pattern, knit three loops together for decreases. For decreases on the right, knit 3 loops (= 1 knit, 1 out, 1 knit): remove the 1st as in knitting, knit the 2nd and 3rd together with the front one and stretch the first loop through it. For decreases on the left: knit three loops together.

Addendum

Cast on loops, knit 5 rows, in the 6th, add 1 loop on each side. Then in the 12th row, 18th, etc.

closure

If it is necessary to finish the product, the loops must be closed correctly. So, you need to finish the English gum in the following way:

Knit to the last row. The peculiarity of the English gum is that some of the loops are first removed untied with a crochet, and on the next row they are knitted together with the same crochet. That is, the first row is knitted like a regular 1x1 elastic band, in the second, the front loop is knitted with the front one, and the wrong one is dropped with a crochet on the right knitting needle.

In the next row, the front is knitted together with the front crochet, and the wrong side is removed with the double crochet. As a result, before the last row on the knitting needles, about 1/3 more loops are obtained than it should be in size. If you close them in the usual way loop to loop, then the last row will be longer than all the others by the same third. If you knit the last row with a regular elastic band without making yarn, then it will be thinner than the rest. Therefore, it is better to close them with a double thread.

English gum is the pattern that is easy to perform and therefore accessible to beginner craftswomen. It is, however, a very beautiful knit. On the basic basis created numerous types: French, patent, semi-patent, openwork, two-color, etc. It is elastic, stretches easily, keeps its shape. Looks spectacular due to the relief hem. Products look especially beautiful if such a pattern is knitted from thick, or at least medium in thickness, yarn. The classic one requires the ability to knit at least facial loops. The knitting is double-sided, i.e. the same on both sides, and is therefore ideal for knitting scarves. Double elastic band(hollow) is well suited for products such as a belt.

In this article, we will look at different kinds knitting an English rubber band.

Knitting pattern English (aka Macedonian)

The number of loops must be even.

1r. ∗1 n., 1 remove from the wrong side, without knitting, 1 person. ∗ - repeat from ∗ to ∗ until the end of the row .;

2r. and all subsequent r. after that, they take the loop of the lower row on the knitting needle from the wrong side and do not knit it ∗. - repeat from ∗ to ∗ until the end of the row.

Two-color gum: description

Cast on an odd number of stitches.

1 p. we knit with a dark thread: ∗1 faces., 1n., 1 remove (thread behind the work) ∗ ∗ - repeat from ∗ to ∗ to the end of the river;

2 p. we knit with a light thread: ∗ yarn over, remove 1 p., 1n. and loop previous. R. knit lyceums together ∗ ∗ - repeat from ∗ to ∗ to the end of the river;

3 p. - we move the work to the opposite edge of the knitting needle and knit with a dark thread: ∗1 n. and 1 p. we knit inside out, 1n., 1 remove ∗ - repeat from ∗ to ∗ to the end of the river;

4 p. light thread: ∗1 n., 1 remove, 1 p. with 1 n. together - out. ∗ - repeat from ∗ to ∗ to the end of the river;

5 p. - we move the work to the opposite edge of the knitting needle and knit with a dark thread: ∗1 n. and loop before. R. together persons., 1 n., 1 p. remove ∗ repeat from ∗ to ∗ to the end of the river;

And the next view is for beginner knitters. This is a “lazy” two-color cut scheme.

The number of loops is a multiple of 4, plus 3, plus 2 p. - edge. In the scheme: pink cells - dark threads, white - light.

Semi-patent (pearl)

Knitted on the basis of English. The front and back sides of the semi-patent pattern are different: on the front - the loops are round, like pearls (hence the name), on the wrong side - more elongated.

An even number of loops.

1 p. ∗1 person., 1 out.∗ repeat rapport from ∗ to ∗ until the end of the river;

2 p. ∗1 persons., 1 n. 1 remove ∗ repeat of rapport from ∗ to ∗ until the end of the river;

3 p. - ∗ loop and 1 n. - together faces., 1 out. ∗

The same pattern can be knitted in the round on circular needles.

1 p. ∗1 l., 1 out.∗

2 p.∗ 1 n., 1 remove, 1 out.∗

3 p.∗ 1p. from 1 n. - front, 1 out. ∗

Patent

It can be knitted different ways: with facial, purl loops, or using the loops of the previous row. Let's consider one of the options.

Cast on an even number of stitches.

1 p. ∗1 person., 1 out.∗;

2 p. ∗ yarn over, 1 remove, 1 out. ∗;

3 p. ∗ 1 n., 1 remove, 1 p. and yarn over together - out. ∗

4 p. and all the rest - like 3 p.

American

The number of loops is a multiple of three.

1r. ∗ 2l., 1 out.∗;

2 p. ∗ 1 sheet, 1 yarn, 2 persons, with the left knitting needle we pull the yarn over before work, we stretch 2 sheets through it;

3 p. - repeat from the 1st p.

American ribbing, which is knitted on 4 l. and 2 purl. according to the same principle, is called Bulgarian.

Since the American dense enough, it is well suited both for the main knitting fabric and for finishing - hats, skirts, socks.

french

Very simple and beautiful pattern, resembles in appearance "corrugation".

An important point for beginner craftswomen: in order for the French elastic pattern to look beautiful - the loops must be knitted in the classic way - behind the front wall. When working, alternate 2 liters. and two purl. loops, shifting them in each next row.

Pattern knitting pattern

Description of the French

Cast on a number of loops that is a multiple of four.

1r. ∗2l., 2 purl.∗

2r. ∗1 purl., 2 persons., 1 purl.∗

3 p. - repeat from 1st.

In cases where you need to insert an elastic band into a knitted product, hollow knitting is used, or it is also called a pouch. This method eliminates the need to fold the canvas, it looks neat.

After knitting the desired height, faces. and out. loops knit two together.

An openwork elastic band can be knitted in various ways.

This pattern is very functional: openwork elastic band is elastic and beautiful.

When using an English rib pattern (or patterns based on it), you need to take into account that this knitting is very loose, so you need to try to knit tighter. And further important point: since the knitted fabric is highly stretched, it is better to determine the required dimensions by washing and drying the sample.

We hope that the types of rubber bands that we reviewed today will help you create beautiful and comfortable things for you and your loved ones. Good luck knitting!

English knitting gum can get around in popularity. It is considered a classic, which means it should be mastered by every needlewoman aimed at a serious result. Hats, scarves, snoods are knitted with this pattern, cuffs are made for sweaters and jumpers. English gum is universal: it is based on minimalism that fits into almost every thing.
