Crochet is a whole world of needlework with its own rules and characteristic features, entering which it is already impossible to return back. This craft rewards craftswomen with beautiful and original things, one has only to learn its basics - knitting columns.

In order to feel confident in the future, beginners need to learn how to crochet the simplest elements, thanks to which it becomes possible to create fabrics of any complexity with a variety of patterns.

Master class for beginners on crochet stitches

Any crochet pattern, from the simplest to the lush and openwork, is created by combining air loops and several types of columns. If you learn how to knit them perfectly, you can safely start crocheting things of any complexity.

What are the main types of crochet stitches?

• Single crochet;
• Double crochets;
• Half columns;
• Columns with two crochets;
• Embossed columns;
• Lush columns.

Single crochet

This type is considered one of the most used methods of knitting columns - and therefore a basic skill necessary for all craftswomen. The method of crocheting single crochet stitches allows you to get a dense fabric from low stitches, which is not distinguished by high elasticity.

This knitting technique offers several options for knitting loops: behind the front wall of the loop, behind the back wall and behind both walls. Depending on this, the pattern on the canvas will also differ. Often knitting columns without crochet involves knitting for both walls of the loop(in other words, for both half loops of the upper pigtail) - this option is often assumed in all knitting patterns. Considerhow to crochet a single crochet using a step-by-step diagram as an example:

We knit a chain of 20 stitches plus 1 lifting loop. We knit the first column into the second air loop from the hook. We insert the hook under the two walls of the loop, pick up the thread and pull it through the loop: two loops have formed on the hook (photo 1). Now we pick up the thread again and stretch it through both loops. There is one loop left on the hook. We knitted a single crochet (photo 2).

Next, we knit the first row of columns, but we pick up the air loop by the front wall - it is more convenient to knit the initial row (photo 3). We turn the work over, we knit one lifting loop, and then a series of columns, picking up the loops for both walls.

In order for the edge of the fabric to turn out to be even, it is important to correctly knit the first and last loops of the row. Often, especially if knitted with thin threads, they skip the first loop of the row and the columns of the next row are knitted immediately into the second loop, or they forget to knit last loop glad. Be careful and while you are learning, count the bars. You should always get 20 columns (air lifting loops are not included in this number) (photo 4).

Concerning two other ways of knitting single crochets, this is done as follows:

In any of the selected methods for tying single crochets, the first column in the row is always knitted for both walls of the loop so that the edge is even and dense enough.

Half column

Knitting with half-columns or connecting posts is not so common, since the fabric from these loops is very dense and rigid. Half columns are very low. Often they connect fragments of lace sewing, move from one to another row when knitting in a circle, they also fix and process the edges of the fabric on them. final stage knitting.

There are two ways to knit with a half-column:

• crochet half-column with a crochet - also called a strong column;
• a half-column without a crochet - that is, a connecting one.

Consider, for starters, how to crochet a half-column with a crochet.

Let's start by knitting a chain of air loops. The number of air loops should be equal to the number of half double crochets plus 2 loops for lifting. When the chain is ready (photo 1), we make a crochet on the hook (photo 2),

we insert the hook into the third loop of the chain from the hook (half-column with a crochet corresponds to 2 lifting loops), grab the thread (photo 1) and pull out a new loop (now we have three loops on the hook) (photo 2),

again grab the thread (photo 1) and knit 3 loops on the hook in one go. It turned out double crochet(photo 2).

We continue to knit a row of half-columns with a crochet. At the end of the row, we knit 2 lifting air loops (these loops are the first half-column of the next row), turn our product over and continue knitting (photo 1). This is how the finished half-column with a crochet looks like (photo 2).

Now let's find out how to crochet half-column without crochet or connecting column.

It is difficult to knit semi-columns starting from a chain of loops, so cast on 20 chain stitches plus 1 instep loop and knit several rows of single crochet behind both walls of the loop. Next, we will knit several rows of connecting posts.

The lifting loop is not required in this case. Therefore, after knitting a series of single crochets, we turn the work over and immediately knit a half-column into the first loop. We insert the hook under both walls of the loop, pick up the thread and pull it through the loop and then immediately into the loop that is on the hook.

The half-column is knitted in one step - and so on until the end of the row. We turn the work over, we knit the next row in the same way. To make it easier to knit, do not tighten the loops, make them wide enough, especially for the first and last loops of the row.

Double crochet

The double crochet is considered one of the most frequently used elements among all types of columns. It turns out to knit quite quickly, and the column itself turns out to be twice as high as a single crochet.

So let's consider step by step instructions how to crochet a crochet stitch.

We knit a chain of air loops. The number of air loops should be equal to the number of double crochets plus 3 loops for lifting. When our chain is ready, we make a crochet on the hook (photo 1), insert the hook into the fourth loop of the chain from the hook (3 lifting loops correspond to the double crochet), grab the thread (photo 2) and pull out a new loop, we now have 3 loops on the hook (photo 3) grab the thread (photo 4) and knit 3 loops on the hook in pairs in 2 steps, i.e. first we knit 2 loops (we will have 2 loops left on the hook) (photo 5) then grab the thread again (photo 6) and knit 2 more loops. So we got double crochet (photo 7). We continue to knit a row of double crochets (photo 8). At the end of the row, we knit 3 lifting air loops (they will be the first column for the next row), turn our product over and continue knitting (photo 9).

With two crochets

A crochet stitch with two crochets allows you to achieve a very high loop. This type of columns is used to obtain openwork free canvases.

After a chain of air loops, the number of which should be equal to the number of columns with two crochets plus 4 loops for lifting, we make two crochets on the hook (photo 1), insert the hook into the fifth loop from the hook of the chain (4 lifting loops correspond to a column with two crochets), we grab the thread (photo 2) and pull out a new loop, we now have 4 loops on the hook (photo 3). We grab the thread (photo 4) and knit 4 loops on the hook in pairs in 3 steps, i.e. first we knit 2 loops (we will have 3 loops on the hook) (photo 5) we grab the thread again (photo 6).

and we knit 2 more loops (we will have 2 loops on the hook) (photo 7), grab the thread again (photo 8) and knit the 2 remaining loops. We knitted a column with 2 crochets (photo 9). We continue to knit a row of columns with two crochets (photo 10). At the end of the row we knit 4 lifting air loops, turn our product over and continue knitting.

Raised

Highly beautiful view knitted posts that allow you to achieve a convex texture of the canvas - a embossed crochet post. Ornaments and patterns are knitted with similar columns. And although the embossed column resembles a simple double crochet in execution, it has its own characteristic features. It differs in the way it is attached to the columns of the previous row: the embossed column is not knitted for the loops of the previous row, the hook is inserted under the columns themselves. In addition, it is important to remember that embossed columns begin to knit only after they have made at least one row of double crochets or a simple column.

There are two types of relief columns:

• embossed facial columns in front of work - "bulging";
• embossed purl, which are at work - "concave".

How do they differ and how to crochet them - consider step by step ways knitting in photo lessons.

Convex embossed posts

We knit two rows of simple double crochets. Then we make a crochet on the hook (photo 1), insert the hook from the front side from right to left, under the double crochet of the previous row (photo 2), grab the thread (photo 3), and pull out a new loop (there will be three loops on the hook) (photo 4 ), then we knit like a regular double crochet, knitting loops in pairs in two steps, i.e. we grab the thread and knit two loops, grab the thread again and knit the two remaining loops (photo 5). With the method of knitting a double crochet “before work”, such a column is called a relief facial or “convex”.

Concave embossed posts

We make a crochet (photo 1), then we insert the hook from the wrong side from right to left (photo 2), clasping the leg of the double crochet of the previous row (photo 3), grab the thread (photo 4) and pull out a new loop (photo 5). We knit the loops in pairs in two steps, as when knitting a regular double crochet, i.e. we grab the thread and knit 2 loops, grab the thread again and knit the 2 remaining loops (photo 6). With the method of knitting a double crochet “at work”, such a column is called a embossed purl or “concave”. Similarly, they knit embossed single crochets, embossed half-columns with a crochet, etc.

Lush

Beginning needlewomen should definitely learn how to crochet a fluffy column. This type of columns allows you to achieve an unusually beautiful openwork relief pattern, which is also known as "puffs". In addition, the final version is similar to the "bump" pattern. Lush columns are knitted with half-columns with a crochet, and the more semi-columns with a crochet are connected in one loop, the more magnificent the column. Lush stitches should be knitted from light and soft yarn, which will take much more for this pattern than for other types of stitches.

According to our scheme, we collect a chain of air loops, make a crochet (photo 1), insert the hook into 6 loops from the hook from the hook of the chain and pull out a long loop (there are 3 loops on the hook now) (photo 2), make a crochet again (photo 3), insert the hook in the same base loop, grab the thread and pull out another long loop (we have 5 loops on the hook) (photo 4), yarn over again (photo 5), insert the hook into the same base loop, grab the thread and pull out another one again a long loop (there are 7 loops on the hook now) (photo 6). Next, we grab the thread (photo 7) and knit all the loops on the hook in one go (photo 8). It turned out a magnificent column. Next, tie 2 ch. (according to the scheme) and knit lush columns in the same way (photo 9).

Lush bollards with a closed top

Sometimes lush columns are knitted with a closed top. They knit in the same way, they only finish them in 2 steps: we knit the same half-columns with a crochet, pulling out long loops, then grab the thread (photo 1) and knit all the loops except for the first working loop (2 loops remain on the hook) (photo 2), grab the thread again and knit the two remaining loops (photo 3), then knit 2 ch. and knit lush columns in the same way (photo 4).

Video lesson

Video tutorials will help beginners to fix a master class on crocheting columns.

Video "crocheting posts"

Today is going to be a very easy lesson. In fact, you need to learn how to knit what you have already mastered, only with a little complication. In fact, it shouldn't even be considered a complication. Yes, to knit a single crochet, you need to make one additional movement (compared to). But in general, a single crochet is more convenient to knit, and knitting is moving faster.

Single crochets are also called short stitches. It is considered the main element when knitting with a short crochet (remember, about long hook We agreed not to talk yet.

How to crochet single crochet

Shall we start? Tie a chain of air loops. Haven't forgotten what it is air loop for lifting? That's right, this is a loop that is knitted so that the knitting edge does not pull together. The number of air loops for a single crochet is two. Since these loops do not participate in the calculation of loops, when you knit a product, you need to add two more loops to the calculated number of loops. In the meantime, you are learning to knit samples, the number of loops is not so important. Therefore, after tying the chain, count two loops from the working loop and insert the hook into the third. Grab the working thread, drag it through this loop. Take your time, take a break. When knitting a half-column, the thread was pulled through two loops at once, that is, in one step. Single crochet is knitted in two steps. You now have 2 loops on your hook.

Grab the working thread again and now pull through both loops. Single crochet or short stitch is ready.

Sometimes it is knitted as in the next photo, and only then the working thread is pulled through both loops. This is not entirely correct. But who said that such a method has no right to exist? This is not a single crochet at all, but you can knit like that. What is good about a hook - you can invent and fantasize endlessly. Here they did, for example, additional knitting - and a completely different element is ready -

For single crochets, the same principle applies as for half-columns. Be sure to pay attention to which loop you knit it. This will depend appearance pattern. If under both half-loops - the fabric will be very dense (although not as dense as when knitting with half-columns), if only under the front (near) or under the back (far) - a little less dense, but horizontal stripes will appear. An interesting effect is obtained if you knit in even rows for the back (far) half-loop, in odd rows for the front (near) - or vice versa. With this method of knitting, a different pattern is obtained on opposite sides of the fabric.

In the next photo, the upper part is connected only for the back half loops, the middle part is for different in even and odd rows, the lower part is for both half loops.

The conditional image in most schemes is in the figures below. Sorry, but there is no standard notation.

In any business, the key to success is how well you master the basics of craftsmanship. Especially if this case is related to creativity. Craftswomen who want to learn to knit must first master the technique of creating basic details. Below we present step by step description knitting columns for beginners.

Basic Rules

The element can be knitted using the following methods:

• for two slices of the lower loop;
• for the near (left);
• for the far (right).

Keep in mind that in all basic techniques, each of the loops of the initial row is knitted to the back wall of the air loop. Further, the loops are connected behind the two walls of the elements of the row of the previous one, and the instrument is inserted from the front side of the composition. The only exceptions are schemes different types knitting, where it is clearly indicated the need to use other equipment.

Important! The number of columns in all cases should be the same. If you created 20-25 in the initial row, exactly the same amount needs to be realized in the final row. This rule does not apply except in canvases where you reduce the drawing.

And now let's go directly to what types of knitting columns exist.

Connecting post

To begin with, we connect the first row with a chain of air loops. We introduce the hook behind the back wall of the second loop from it.

At the end of the row, we knit one loop, creating a rise. We turn the composition over and run the tool behind the back wall of the starting loop of the row that we did before. So we form the starting loop for the next row. We act in a similar way throughout the rest of the composition.

Half-column crochet

We connect the starting row with a chain of air loops. We introduce the tool behind the back wall of the second air loop from it. We draw the thread around the hook and thread it through the loop.

It is necessary that there are 2 loops on the tool. Having circled the thread around the hook, we stretch it through both, connecting them together.

Next, we create half-columns in all air loops until we reach the end of the row. Here we use one loop to implement the lift, turn the product over and insert the hook under the threads of one of the loops of the previous section. As a result, we get the half-column we need.

Half double crochet

We form the first row with a chain of air loops. We circle the thread around the tool and move the hook behind the back wall of the third loop from it.

Once again we make a bypass and stretch the thread through the loop, resulting in 3 loops. We connect them with each other, for this we again circle the thread around the hook. In the same way, we proceed further, knitting a half-column with a crochet of all air loops.

Finishing the row, we combine 2 such loops in order to form a rise. We turn the material over and create the first half-column with a crochet from the starting loop of the row in front of it. In subsequent rows, we act in the same way.

Tip: If you have difficulties already at the initial stage of training, we recommend that you visit master classes on knitting posts, where professionals will clearly demonstrate the whole process. Also pay attention to thematic videos that are in abundance on the network.

Double crochet

Perhaps the most popular of all varieties of columns. It does not take so much time, while the output element is twice as high as the single crochet option. An ideal option for how to knit stitches for beginners.

Standard - we start with a chain of air loops. It is important that the number of the latter corresponds to the number of double crochets, separately you need to take into account 3 loops for lifting.

Having created a chain, we throw it on the tool, introducing this hook into the loop that is located fourth from it. When the thread is captured, we knit 3 loops on the hook in pairs in 2 sets, that is, first two, and after (making a new thread capture) - two more.

Column with two crochets

Its main advantage is the large height of the loop. Often, this type of column is used to create spacious openwork products.

Here it is important for us to leave 4 loops for lifting, the rest of the air elements should correspond to the number of columns.

We make 2 yarns on the hook, put the hook in the fifth loop from it, cling to the thread and form a new loop. As a result, we have this moment 4 loops. After grabbing the thread, we knit 4 loops on the hook, in pairs, in 3 sets. We complete the row by creating 4 air loops and, having changed the position of the product, we proceed to the next stage of knitting.

In addition to the variations described, there are many more knitting techniques with a column. The most popular among them are: a column with three crochets, lush and embossed options.

Photo crochet posts and knitting patterns

I guarantee you that after today's lesson you will learn to knit once and for all. single crochet crochet and you will do it without mistakes!

But, before moving directly to the topic of our today's lesson, we need to define terms and understand why the column has such a name and why it is without any kind of crochet. Let's clarify this issue.

What in our life do we call a column in general? If you look into the dictionary of the Russian language, you can see the following short definition of the column:

Column- a number of objects located one under the other (placed or laid one on top of the other).

That is, one object or element is not yet a column. Two or more elements is already a column.

In crochet, such elements are loops. One loop is not yet a column. For something to qualify as a column, it must have at least two elements. Means, the simplest column is a column of 2 loops. That is, 2 loops form a column. There are no additional loops, yarns of any kind, just 2 loops and that's it. Therefore, such a column is called a "single crochet".

Consider how columns are formed.

Crochet single crochet - step by step instructions

1. So, we have an air chain connected - in our example, from 7 loops. We already know that a single loop on the hook is not included in the loop count: it is just an auxiliary element that connects the hook to our knitting.
   and correctly count the loops, described in the previous lesson.
   Now we will knit the 1st row on the loops of the air chain. From right to left. Our 7th stitch in the air chain will be considered the 1st stitch in the 1st row of knitting - in order not to get confused, we marked it with a marker.
   
   
2. Important note: by analogy with construction, the air chain is the foundation on which we will build a row of columns, and in order to build the 1st floor, we need to rise above the foundation level to the height of this 1st floor.
   What is the height of the 1st floor? Its height will be equal to the height of the single crochet, i.e. just a column. Column - one word. That's just so-so and say: “What are we going to build? - A column! ”, - and immediately crochet one air loop: grab the thread with a hook and pull it through the loop on the hook.
   
   
   
   
3. This will be the lifting loop on the 1st row, i.e. stairs to the 1st floor.
   
4. We begin to build a column. First we must attach to the base, i.e. to the air circuit. Obviously, with the help of our tool - a hook. We introduce it right in front into the marked 1st loop of the air chain, bring the hook under the working thread.
   
   
5. We grab it from above and stretch it back into the same loop. Here, attached! What do we see? There are 2 loops on the hook. Note - 2 individual loops. And it still doesn't count as a column. That's when we put them together when they stand one under the other, then there will be a column.
   
   
6. We connect two loops: a hook under the thread from ourselves, grab the thread from above and stretch it immediately through 2 loops - here it is - the first column!
   
   
7. Now, on the 2nd loop of the air chain, we build the 2nd column in the same way as steps 4 and 5. So we go to the left to the last (in our case, the 7th) loop, on which we also knit a single crochet. This finished knitting the 1st row.
   
   
8. To start knitting the next row, we need to rise to the level of this row. What will we knit there? - Columns! So we pronounce one word: "Column!" and knit immediately one lifting air loop at the end of the 1st row.
   
   
9. Having made a lifting loop, we turn our knitting. And here we are on the second floor! (straight verse). Our knitted row, when viewed from above, looks like a pigtail.
   
   
10. Now we can definitely see which loop we will have the first in a row in the second row. We recall the 4th point: first you need to attach to the base of the 1st floor (1st row). We introduce the hook immediately under the two halves of the pigtail of the 1st loop.
    
    
11. Grab the thread with a hook and pull it back through the same loop. We just got attached. There are 2 loops on the hook.
    
    
12. Now we need to connect these two loops to get a column. Again we grab the thread with a hook and stretch it through two loops at once.
    
    

So, remember that the single crochet is knitted in two doses: First we knit a loop, attaching to the base, then we stretch the thread through two loops on the hook.

Similarly, we knit columns on the next loops of the second row.

We control ourselves by counting the finished columns.

Having knitted the last column (in our case, the 7th), we make a lifting loop on the 3rd row and only then turn our knitting to start knitting columns on the loops of the 3rd row. We are watching item 10 if you forgot how to do it.

View video lesson will help clear up any questions.

On crochet patterns, a single crochet usually looks like this:

Now, knowing the symbols for air loops and single crochets, we can visualize the pattern of our today's knitting:

Let's repeat the main points of our lesson.

First, we knit a series of air loops - air chain, i.e. the base on which we are going to build our product. We build it sequentially from the columns. At the end of each row, we perform a lifting loop - a ladder to the next row. For a single crochet, the height of the ladder is one air loop. We turn knitting, determine the position of the 1st loop, start the next row.

Well, now we are training, having correctly selected and, we go through all the points of the instruction step by step.

You will succeed!

How to crochet a column

Crochet is based on stitches. So before making a knitted thing, you need to practice a little in knitting each one, and then knitting will no longer cause such difficulties and difficulties. The fabric will turn out beautiful and even if knitted with your own hands. It is worth remembering the main columns when knitting and designating them on the diagrams:

• single crochet;
• lush;
• crossed;
• half-column or connecting column;
• single crochet;
• raised.

How to crochet a half-column

The half-column is called connecting. Of all, it is the simplest and therefore it is very easy to crochet it. To do this, look at the diagram below:

• make 10 air loops for the sample.
• start work with the third loop, and leave two for lifting.
• insert the hook into the loop, and pull the working thread through it.
• skip the loop that was formed through the loop that is on the hook.
• all loops of the row are made in exactly the same way.
• then turn the work over, dial the lifting loops again at the beginning of the row and continue along the same.

With half-columns, you can not only tie the canvas, but also apply it in other places:

• with circular knitting, fasten the row.
• at the end of work.
• when you connect two parts, they can be knitted or crocheted.
• give the canvas a finished look and process along the edges.

A half-column or connecting column in diagrams usually looks like a dot or a rounded tick that is lowered down.

Connecting post

You can also crochet a half-column with a crochet, such a column can also be called a strong column. In order to do it you need:

• With the first loop on the hook, you need to throw a working thread.
• insert the hook at the beginning of the row into the third loop, and then into each next and pull out a new loop.
• then you need to grab the working thread and knit through 3 loops that formed on the hook.

How to knit a single crochet

Making a single crochet is very simple and easy, it must be done in two stages:

• insert the hook into the loop of the previous row, and pull the loop through it. You now have 2 loops on your hook.
• further, through the two loops that you have on the hook, you need to skip the working yarn again, then you get a new loop and a made column.

Double crochets can help to make a product with a pattern, while you only need to use different techniques knitting. Techniques differ in the way the hook is inserted into the previous row of the canvas. Single crochets can also be made according to the following scheme:

• through the two walls of the previous loop, you need to pull the thread.
• behind the back wall, the thread is grabbed with a hook.
• insert the hook into the loop that is located one row below.
• tie a loop through the front wall.

If you knit in the round yourself, then a single crochet can be created when you insert your hook into the jumper between the loops of the previous row.

A single crochet is usually drawn as a simple stick or a sign in the form of the letter T, but there are also other designations:

Single crochet

How to knit a double crochet

When you make a canvas with double crochets with your own hands, it turns out to be light and openwork. You need to do them like this:

• with the first loop of three lifting loops, you need to throw a thread on the hook.
• from the beginning of knitting from the fourth loop, you need to pull out a new loop.
• then grab the working yarn and pull through all three loops that appeared on the hook.

Just like a single crochet, a double crochet can be knitted by capturing 2 walls of the loop in the previous row. By inserting a hook between the posts behind the front or behind the wall, or in two steps, you will get many different patterns. In the figure below you can see an example of knitting a double crochet in two steps:

Double crochets

If you have a desire, then you can make columns with two or more crochets, and not just one. Creating them is a little more difficult, but the product will have a beautiful look. Double crochets are most often referred to as a vertical crossed out stick. The number of double crochets is the number of strikethroughs. Let's see how to do a single crochet:

• at the beginning of the row, you need to make 4 lifting loops when knitting a column with two crochets.
• throw the working thread on the hook with air loops twice, so two yarns are formed.
• pull the working thread from the first loop of the row. You now have four loops on your hook.
• throw the working yarn on the hook again and pull through only the first two loops that are located on the hook, you do not knit the other loops.
• a working thread is again thrown on the hook and knitted through the first two loops.
• then you must through the two loops that remain, stretch the working thread and form a new loop.

Column with 2 crochets

In the same way, you need to knit columns with large quantity double crochets, knitting loops in pairs as in a double crochet. The column turns out higher on how many crochets you have. Usually, these schemes are performed when complex openwork patterns are knitted, or when you need to add the number of loops in the canvas.

How to crochet a embossed column

Embossed columns are made by hand when they usually knit an elastic band, a pigtail pattern or any other beautiful embossed pattern. According to the execution scheme, there are some differences from a simple double crochet. Relief columns can be divided into two types:

• facial, which are in front of work or convex.
• purl, which are at work or concave.

Embossed columns have a distinctive feature, they do not start with a chain of air loops, they are made after at least one row is knitted with double crochets or simple ones.

Below you will see how to knit a concave and convex stitch.

convex column looks beautiful on the front canvas and it is done according to this scheme:

Convex embossed column

• to lift in each new row, you need to make three air loops.
• then yarn over and insert the hook behind the second column of the previous row so that it is on top of the hook.
• the working thread must be pulled out and all the steps should be done as when you knit a simple single crochet stitch.

concave column looks a bit more difficult to knit on your own. For him, all the actions are exactly the same as for the relief column, only when you pull the thread, the hook is inserted into the second loop of the previous row so that the loop is under the hook. This must be done according to this scheme: insert the hook behind the canvas and wrap the previous loop from left to right. Then pull the working thread into a loop on the wrong side.

Concave embossed column

If you want, then the product can only be made with concave or convex columns, then the canvas will be the same on both sides. And if you alternate the columns, alternately knitting rows, then front side the canvas will be smooth, and the wrong side will be ribbed. Embossed columns must be made with one crochet, but then the column is knitted in two loops in two steps.

How to crochet a fluffy column

The lush posts that you crochet turn out to be very beautiful. At first, you may think that doing them is very difficult, but for real it is not so. You just need to know these steps:

• in each row at the beginning you need to make five loops for lifting.
• with the first loop on the hook, yarn over, then a new loop is pulled from the first loop of the previous row. Its height should be equal to the height of the double crochet. Repeat the action two more times.
• throw working yarn on the hook again and stretch the seven loops that were made using the previous steps.
• then one air loop is knitted, and the next column must be knitted through one loop, and not into the next.

Lush column

How to knit cross stitches

With the help of crossed pillars with your own hands, you can make not only a whole product, but also knit them in various complex patterns. Typically, such columns are indicated by an icon - two crossed sticks.

In the diagram below, you can see how to make crossed columns yourself:

• make four loops at the beginning of each row for lifting.
• Throw working yarn on the hook twice, make two yarns.
• pull the working thread from the first main loop of the row.
• then you must knit the first two loops that are on the hook, after that there should be three loops on the hook.
• then yarn over again, then insert the hook through one loop and pull out a new loop.
• the next step is the first two loops on the hook must be knitted together.
• yarn over the hook again and pull through only two loops. You should now have one loop on your hook again. Make an air loop out of it, then yarn over and the hook is inserted into the place where the knitted double crochet stitches intersect, at the end the third loop is pulled out.
• yarn over and loop must be knitted, then the thread is again thrown on the hook and through the remaining two loops, it is pulled out.
• in next loop row it is necessary to knit the second intersecting column.
