French ribbing in the round. French knitting gum: the scheme is not so complicated

01.07.2019

We learned a little earlier. And today we travel the world and knit rubber bands.

They got their name from the names of countries.

I won’t say for sure whether all this corresponds to historical reality, but, in any case, it won’t hurt to have such interesting patterns in your arsenal.

A set of loops - (18 + 2) - should be divided by 3 plus two edge.

1 row - 2 facial, 1 purl;
2 row - knit 1, yarn over, knit 2 knit and stretch them into yarn over.
3 row - repeat from the 1st.

As you can see, the pattern is very simple, easy to knit, easy to remember. We pull the yarn over through the loops, so they are obtained without holes and do not form. The pattern is quite dense.

And at the end we get this beauty.

It is good to knit the sleeves of children's things with such an elastic band, while knitting the main details (front and back) with front stitch. American rib looks very elegant, especially when knitting with light yarn.

What else is special about this pattern? A beginner will cope with it, and the texture of the pattern will hide small knitting errors, as it was with

Well, we continue our knitting journey, the stop is France and, accordingly, French gum. Also a very interesting and simple pattern, we alternate two rows from the description of the pattern. It knits very simply, looks unusual.

Set of loops (18 + 1 + 2) - the number of loops should be divisible by 3, + 1 loop for the symmetry of the pattern, + 2 edge.

1 row - * purl 1, we knit the next 2 loops as follows: first, the second loop of the front behind the back wall, behind the knitting needle, then the first loop as well * at the end of row 1 purl.
2 row - * 1 front, we knit the next two loops like this: first, the second loop is purl in front of the knitting needle, then the first loop is the same. (Purl loops knit in the usual way) * at the end of row 1 front.
3 row - repeat from the 1st.

French gum is ready!

And now we will learn how to knit a Polish gum.

This is a very popular elastic band, especially now that various scarves have returned to fashion, transformer models: scarves, collars, snoods.

That's just for them, the ideal option would be Polish gum.

By the way, once upon a time, even from knitting courses, I still had a record of the Leningrad gum pattern. Outwardly, it is very similar to the Polish gum, although, in my opinion, it turns out to be a little clearer than the Polish version. I made both patterns, they are equally easy to knit. Choose the one you like best and knit beautiful things J.

Polish gum (option 1) - classic

Set of loops - 20 (multiple of four)

1 row - 2 facial, 2 purl;
2 row - purl 1 *, 2 facial, 2 purl *, 1 facial.
3 row - repeat the pattern from the 1st row

Polish gum (option 2) - forgotten "Leningrad"

A set of loops is a multiple of four plus 2 hem.

Row 1 - knit 1, purl 1, knit 2.
2nd row - purl 1, knit 3
3 row - the pattern is repeated from the 1st row.

Another thing I like about Polish gum is its versatility. It looks equally good when knitting hats, scarves and snoods, an excellent option when knitting the inside of mittens, gloves and mitts, like a native in knitted children's patterns, sliders for the smallest are especially good.

The only thing I would not recommend this elastic for the cuffs and the bottom of the products - the pattern is quite loose.

Well, our little trip is over, I hope it was interesting and useful, you have mastered knitting gum with knitting needles.

And next in line, another series of rubber bands (how many there are after all!). We will learn how to knit tight rib with slipped stitches, as well as fluffy and transverse rib.

I wish you happy knitting!

As a result of these searches, this collection of rubber bands - “foreigners” - was selected. And the funny thing about this story is that in the end, the daughter chose not French at all, but American elastic for her scarf. And so that the efforts are not in vain, I share my collection with you.

French Rib 1 (with 3 loop report) consists of 2 repeating rows. The main difference from other types of elastic bands is the crossing of the loops. At the same time, 2 front loops are crossed in the front rows, and purl loops in the wrong ones, see the pattern diagram. The loops are not removed on an additional knitting needle, as when knitting a braid, but simply first they knit the second (front or back) loop, and then the first, and only then they remove both knitted loops on the right knitting needle. Such a crossing of the loops is done in each report and in each row of the pattern, which of course requires more time than when knitting other types of elastic bands.

french ribbing scheme-1

french ribbing pattern 1: pattern report 3 loops + 1 loop for symmetry + 2 edge loops (not indicated in the diagram), repeat the pattern from the 1st to the 2nd rows.

1st row: * 1 out., 2 crossed. persons. loops (knit the 2nd loop without removing it from the left knitting needle behind the back wall of the front, then knit the 1st loop and remove both on the right knitting needle) * repeat from * to * the required number of times and finish the row 1 out .;

2nd row: 1 person., * 2 out. crossed (first knit the 2nd out. loop, thread before work, then knit the 1st out.p.), 1 person. P.*;

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

2nd row: * 1 out., 2 crossed. persons. loops (knit the 2nd loop without removing it from the left knitting needle behind the back wall of the front, then knit the 1st loop and slip both on the right knitting needle) * repeat from * to * to the end of the row.

French Rib 2 (with 4 loop report) differs from the previous one only in the number of purl loops between the "spikelets" of interlaced loops. Otherwise, the work with weaving loops is just as painstaking.

French gum pattern 2: pattern report 4 loops + 2 loops for pattern symmetry + 2 edge loops (not indicated on the diagram)

1st row: 1 out., * 1 out., 2 cross. persons. loops (knit the 2nd loop without removing it from the left knitting needle behind the back wall of the front, then knit the 1st loop and remove both on the right knitting needle), 1 out. *, repeat from * to * the required number of times and finish the row 1 out .;

2nd row: 1 person., * 1 person., 2 out. crossed (first knit the 2nd out. loop, thread before work, then knit the 1st out.p.), 1 person. p.*, 1 person.p.

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

french rubber band ideas

French gum 3, it is also a classic Polish or faceted gum it looks like it has a corrugated texture, but it knits much easier than the previous two options. This gum is most often used as an independent pattern for knitting children's products, both for boys and girls, as well as for knitting various accessories - scarves and hats.

french ribbing pattern 3

French gum pattern 3 consists of two alternating rows with offset loops of the pattern. The number of loops for the pattern is a multiple of 4 + 1 loop for symmetry + 2 edge loops (edge loops are not indicated in the diagram).

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

2nd row - * purl 2, facial 2 *, purl 1.

If you take a closer look at the diagram, you will see that the loops of the pattern are placed in this way:

the first loop of the pattern in the front rows is knitted front, and in the wrong rows - wrong side;

the second loop of the pattern in all rows is knitted;

the third loop opposite to the first in the front rows is knitted on the wrong side, in the wrong ones - on the front;

american rubber band

Diagram of the American rubber bands: pattern report is 3 loops + 2 edge loops, repeat the 1st and 2nd rows of the pattern in height according to the scheme:

1st row: *knit 2, purl 1*, repeat from* to * to the end of the row;

2nd row: * K1 st, yarn over, knit 2 knit sts and pull through yarn over.

Despite the apparent complexity, the pattern is very easy to knit and quickly remembered.

Volumetric French gum with knitting needles is also called “snake” or “zigzag”. In popularity, it competes with rubber bands. French gum is distinguished by a peculiar relief in the form of a pigtail. Knitted by making crossed loops. Despite this, even a beginner can complete it if they watch the video tutorial.

Scheme

pattern repeat- 3 loops. For symmetry, you need to additionally dial 1 loop.

The scheme does not take into account edge loops.

You can understand the conventions by reading the description of the pattern below.

Description

LP- face loop IP- purl loop, KP- edge loop.

Cast on loops. Their number must be a multiple of 3 + 1 loop for symmetry + 2 edge loops.

1 row: KP, * 1 PI, 2 LP crossed (first knit the second loop behind the back wall, then the first one behind the back wall)* - repeat to the end of the row. Knit the last two loops like this: 1 PI, KP.

2 row: KP, * 1 LP, 2 PI crossed (first knit the second loop behind the front wall, then the first loop behind the front wall)* - repeat to the end of the row. Knit the last two loops like this: 1 LP, KP.

Repeat 1-2 rows to the end of knitting.

Video tutorial

When knitting French ribbing, it can be difficult to make crossed loops. And both facial and purl. The video tutorial shows these points well - you will not get confused. The video is useful for both a beginner and an experienced craftswoman.

French rubber band

There are some features in the circular knitting of French gum. To make the pattern the first time, we advise you to watch this master class. It is important to dial the right number of loops and not “break” the pattern.

A very light and elastic product is obtained by knitting it with an elastic band. Such knitting is often used for knitting the bottom of sweaters, blouses, product necks, as well as scarves. In the collection of hand knitting, there are several varieties of the elastic band pattern, which differ not only in the way of knitting, but also in appearance. In order for the fabric to turn out more accurate, it is better to knit an elastic band with knitting needles with a diameter either equal to the thickness of the thread, or no more than 1.5 more. The most common types of this pattern are:

Simple: 1x1, 2x2, etc.
English,
double,
Polish,
french

How to knit a simple elastic band

A simple elastic band is knitted using a different combination of basic loops, that is, knit and purl. Due to the fact that the fabric knitted with this pattern turns out to be elastic and well stretched, knitting with a similar pattern is used in cases where it is necessary to achieve the effect of fitting the product itself, for example, a turtleneck, or its individual parts, such as a cuff, collar, edges neckline and bottom. Simple elastic bands are usually conventionally indicated by the numbers 2 × 2 or 1 × 2, where the first number indicates the number of front loops, and the second number of purl loops in the report. Thus, you can knit an elastic band with simple knitting needles with almost any combination of basic loops, the main thing is to keep the proportions that will allow the fabric to be elastic. Consider several options for pattern patterns simple gum:

Elastic band 1×1. We knit all the front rows in a sequence of loops: front, back. We knit all purl over the front front, over the purl purl.
Elastic band 2×2. The number of loops should be a multiple of two plus two edge loops. In all odd rows, two facial, two purl are knitted, and in odd rows, to comply with the pattern, as well as for 1 × 1 elastic, purl over the facial ones are knitted over the purl.
Elastic band 2×1. The number of loops for such an elastic band should be divided by three plus two loops for hem:

1r. We knit to the end of the row 2 facial, 1 purl.
2r. Throughout the row, a report is knitted: 1 purl, 2 facial.
From the 3rd row, the knitting pattern is repeated from the 1st row.

An important point when choosing the option of knitting a simple elastic band is the size of the product itself, so, for example, for a large one, you can take a combination of 4 × 4, as well as the scheme of the main pattern, since for a harmonious look of the product it is very important that everything in it is combined.

How to knit English Rib

English gum is the most popular among all representatives of this pattern. It also has a second name pearl. At present, due to its lush and embossed appearance and soft texture, it is widely used in knitting products such as jumpers, scarves, hats and other bulky products. It is not advised to knit English ribbing for cuffs and edges of the product, since the fabric knitted with this pattern turns out to be soft and not very elastic. An English elastic pattern is made using the main loops and yarn over loops. The scheme for creating a pattern English gum 1 × 1 is as follows:

We collect an odd number of loops, after which we knit the first row according to the report: 1 yarn, 1 loop, removed not knitted, the working thread is thrown behind the canvas, 1 front.
2 row. Yarn over, 1 st removed not knitted, 2 sts are knitted as one front st.
3 row. Two loops are knitted as one front, yarn over, 1 loop is thrown over not knitted.

Closing the loops of the English elastic is a little different from the completion of a simple canvas. To make the edge beautiful and even, the preparatory row is knitted first. To do this, the following steps are performed:

The fabric is knitted according to the same pattern, where the single crochet loop is thrown not knitted onto the right knitting needle, and the double crochet loop of the previous row is knitted as one front, so the actions are repeated until the end of the row.
After that, you can close the loops of the product as usual.

If English ribbing 1×1 is knitted in circular knitting, then the sequence of loops will be slightly different:

1r. front, nakid, not knitted loop.
2p . Nakid, not knitted loop, purl.
3r. Two loops together, not a knitted loop.

The English elastic band 2 × 2 also looks very good, for it the number of loops is taken, divisible by 4 plus two hem:

In order for the fabric on such elements of the product as the neck or cuffs, as well as when knitting scarves, belts or hats, to be denser and better able to keep its shape, one of the varieties of the elastic pattern, called double elastic, is used. for beginners, such an elastic band will be as simple as for more experienced needlewomen:

The set of loops for a double elastic band should be equal to an even number and divisible by four and plus two hem loops.
We knit the first row as follows: the front one, knitted behind the front wall, 1 loop is removed not knitted, the working thread moves in front of the canvas and so on until the end of the row.
2 row. 1 purl, 1 loop is removed not knitted, we throw the working thread behind the product.
In the third and subsequent rows, knitting is repeated from the first row.

You can more clearly familiarize yourself with how to knit a double elastic band using the following video:

For belts and scarves, double or hollow elastic is best done in circular knitting, using special knitting needles. But in this case, all rows are knitted according to the same pattern: front loop, 1 re-shot not knitted.

How to knit Polish rib with knitting needles

Polish ribbing is an excellent solution for creating items such as snoods or a scarf collar, as well as for children's things, thanks to its loose and airy structure. You can knit the Polish gum in one of the two following ways:

The following video will help knitting a Polish gum with knitting needles for beginners:

In order to knit a French elastic band, the number of loops must be dialed so that it is divided by four plus two loops for the hem. The elastic is performed by the following alternation of the main loops:

1r. We alternate 2 purl loops and 2 facial loops behind the back wall.
2r. We repeat the sequence: 1 purl loop, 2 facial loops behind the back wall, 1 purl.
The next rows are knitted again from the first.

You can knit French elastic in the following way:

We collect loops, the number of which should be divisible by three plus 3 loops for edge loops and symmetry.
In all odd rows, we knit sequentially to the penultimate loop: 1 purl loop, then remove 1 loop not knitted, then we knit the next loop behind the back wall, again return the removed loop to the knitting needle and also knit it behind the back wall with the front loop, the last loop of the row is knitted purl.
We knit even rows as follows. We knit a sequence of loops 1 front loop, re-shoot the loop not knitted, knit the next one from the wrong side, return the not knitted loop to the left knitting needle and knit it from the wrong side. We end the row with a front loop.

There are a lot of types of rubber bands, so when choosing a particular model, in order for the product to look harmonious, you need to take into account the following nuances:

The density and pattern of the elastic should correspond to the main pattern of the fabric and the type of product for which the elastic is made.
Not all types of elastic bands can be used in circular knitting, as many of them have a patent, that is, a double-sided pattern. These are, for example, such elastic bands as French or English 2 × 2.

At first, it may seem that knitting with a French elastic band is not so easy. However, if you understand the scheme, then even a novice needlewoman will cope with such a pattern - you need to master only two rows that alternate in the knitting process.

In appearance, the pattern resembles a “corrugation”, therefore it is often used in knitting children's skirts and as a finish. Looks great on a hat, snood and even mittens!

This elastic is knitted by alternating two front and two back loops and looks very impressive and beautiful. Crossing the loops is done in each report - 2 front loops are crossed in the front rows, and purl loops are crossed in the purl rows.

Scheme No. 1

The first loop is knit in the front row and purl in the purl, the second loop is the front, the third loop is the front in the purl and purl in the front row, the fourth loop is purl in all rows.

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

2nd row - * purl 2, facial 2 *, purl 1.

Scheme No. 2

Pattern report 3 loops + 1 loop for symmetry + 2 edge loops (not indicated in the diagram), repeat the pattern from the 1st to the 2nd rows.

2nd row: 1 person., * 2 out. crossed (first knit the 2nd out. loop, thread before work, then knit the 1st out.p.), 1 person. P.*;

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

Scheme No. 3

Pattern report 4 loops + 2 loops for pattern symmetry + 2 edge loops

2nd row: 1 person., * 1 person., 2 out. crossed (first knit the 2nd out. loop, thread before work, then knit the 1st out.p.), 1 person. p.*, 1 person.p.

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

Scheme No. 4

Classic Polish ribbing with a pleated structure for knitting children's clothing and various accessories.

American gum

American rib has a beautiful embossed pattern, so it is great for knitting sleeve cuffs, socks and hats.

Scheme

The report of the pattern is 3 loops + 2 edge loops, repeat the 1st and 2nd rows of the pattern in height according to the scheme:
