Knitting patterns with braids have been very popular for a long time, things related to braid patterns are considered classic. Despite the fact that knitting braids is done according to the same technique, there are many options for knitting braids. Basically, the weave of the braid is performed when knitting the front surface, often in order to highlight the volumetric braid, it is knitted against the background of the purl surface.
A braid in knitting can be with a weave to the right, if, when crossing the loops, the loops removed on an additional knitting needle are left at work. When crossing the loops to the left, the removed loops are located in front of work.
Braid pattern depends on the number of crossed loops, direction and frequency of weaves. When knitting things with a braid pattern, you must first knit a large sample, since the crossed loops pull together the knitting. Warm things are often knitted with a braid pattern - sweaters, jackets, hats, models with braids stretch well and at the same time retain their original shape.
Knitting braids performed in one technique. Along a row, several loops are removed on an additional knitting needle, the loops are placed in front of or behind work, depending on which direction the braid should be formed. Then the loops are knitted behind the removed loops, after the loop from the additional knitting needle and further along the row. It is better to remove loops on a special knitting needle for knitting braids with a bend in the center, but you can also use a regular short knitting needle.
To cross 16 loops to the left, in a given area, remove the first 8 loops on the auxiliary knitting needle, leave these loops at work. Knit the next 8 stitches along the row, then 8 stitches removed from the additional knitting needle, also knit. After completing the front row, knit the braids on the wrong side of the loop of the braids.
In this pattern, a lush braid is obtained. A total of 24 loops are involved in width. After every 10 rows, first cross the first 16 loops to the right, then after 10 loops 16 loops from the 9th to the 24th cross to the left.

Knitting is easy and simple. With their help, you can create original things that are suitable only for you. Every woman has knitted outfits in her wardrobe: beautiful sweaters, scarves, warm mittens for the winter. Knitted items are now at their peak of popularity, and this is justified. Many different techniques allow you to create creative, fashionable accessories and clothing.
One of the interesting and unusual patterns is a braid with knitting needles. This easy pattern, which even novice needlewomen can master, has many execution techniques. In any case, it is easy to learn how to knit correctly - whether it is a braid of twelve, sixteen or three loops, you knit on straight knitting needles, or circular. Volumetric double or triple. They are the ones that will be discussed in this lesson..
The volumetric braid is knitted with knitting needles using the upper loops, more precisely, their movement... Several auxiliary lines are knitted with these loops. The number of loops should be divisible by three. The pattern of a volumetric braid can consist of eighteen loops, six for one braid element (there are three of them). To knit bulky braids, you need two straight knitting needles, and one additional one size smaller.
The volumetric pattern is knitted with the front satin stitch... To begin with, the first 12 links are knitted, then the last 6 are performed in the amount of three strips. This is done in order to be able to transfer the elements to the left side of the knitting. The first and last loops of the rows also need to be knitted. The product will need to be turned over several times during knitting.
When working on a new strip, you should leave the links on the additional knitting needle and tie the last six loops of the volumetric braid. Then all the links are knitted on the third knitting needle.
Now you need to complete 3 stripes without moving them. In the new row, all the loops are moved to the right. Six links are transferred to an additional knitting needle, the rest are knitted in four rows with inversion. Then the loops are knitted from the auxiliary knitting needle. Next, you will need to alternate them to the right or left, through every third row. This is how they get a voluminous braid..
We bring to your attention a knitting pattern for a voluminous braid... With the help of it, you can easily master this technique.
Braid of nine loops with knitting needles
Let's look at the braid shaping technique step by step. We type seventeen loops on the knitting needles. We start knitting from the first row:
- We do not knit the edge. Knit purl three, knit nine and purl four.
- We move on to the second row: here, too, we simply remove the edge and knit: three front, nine wrong side, three front. And we knit the last edge on the wrong side. It turns out here is such a blank.
- We proceed to the third row. Remove the edge, knit three inside out. Here we will make the first movement: we transfer three loops to the auxiliary knitting needle so that they are on the front of the work.
- Now we knit three knitting needles and transfer the loops from the auxiliary to the left knitting needle. We also knit them with the front ones. Then there are three facial and four purl. The first transfer is complete.
- We knit the fourth and sixth rows in exactly the same way as the first, and the fifth as the second.
- In the seventh row, we make the second move. Remove the edge, knit three purl and three front. We remove the next three loops with an additional tool so that they are on the seamy side. We knit three front loops, we return the loops with additional. knitting needles on the left. We knit them with the front, and the remaining loops on the wrong side.
- We knit the eighth and tenth rows as the first, the ninth as the second.
Now, to get the pattern, you just need to knit further according to the already set pattern. Alternate actions from the third to the tenth row until you get the pattern you want.
You should get a pigtail like this..
Braid pattern of 12 stitches with needles
This pattern is very popular now.... It is with the help of it that nowadays fashionable hats with pigtails are knitted. A voluminous 12-loop braid pattern can adorn products such as cardigans, plaids, sweaters.
Knitting pattern for a braid of 12 loops
Braid of 16 loops knitting pattern
In the scheme, only the front rows are drawn, the purl rows are knitted according to the pattern.
The rapport of this pattern consists of twenty loops and fourteen rows.
Legend for the scheme:
We knit double and triple braids
Double braid is one of the lightest patterns... It is very easy to learn and learn how to do it. The double braid is so named because it consists of only two plexuses.
This is a very dynamic and mobile ornament, you can change it as you like. For example, increase or decrease the gaps between patterns.
In order to start knitting a double braid according to this pattern, you will need to dial the correct number of loops. There should be three of them for symmetry, two edging and plus loops for the pattern - their sum should be divisible by 12.
The first and fifth rows are knitted in the same way: three front loops, three purl, the last three knit together on the wrong side.
The second row is knit and seamy on the other side.
In the third row, a transfer is made with a tilt to the left. Knit in three front and back loops, for extra. the spoke is moved three more. Then three loops are knitted inside out, and the displaced ones are returned and knitted with their face. The seventh row is done in the same way, only with a tilt to the right.
With the help of this detailed scheme with a description, it will be easy for you to figure out how to knit a double braid.
A triple braid, at first glance, may seem like a complicated pattern for novice needlewomen, but this is absolutely not the case. The entire first row is knitted with front loops. All purl rows are performed in the same way. In the third row, five loops are not knitted, but transferred to an additional knitting needle. The next five are face-tied. Then ten more knit stitches follow, and five are again transferred to an additional knitting needle. After knitting five knit, and then all the loops that moved.
From the fifth to the eighth, all rows are knitted with a face. Row 9 - five faces. n, five are transferred, five persons transferred are returned and knitted with facial. The eleventh row consists entirely of front loops. Thus, the rapport of the triple braid is knitted.
A voluminous braid with knitting needles is a very interesting pattern; it will be useful for many novice needlewomen to learn how to knit in this way. This pattern has many interpretations for every taste and color. You can knit with the help of such a pattern almost anything you want, because there are a lot of variations of volumetric braids. There is, for example, a very beautiful Turkish braid with elongated loops, which will adorn a women's blouse, a children's sleeveless jacket, and a voluminous snood. A thick braided braid can serve as a decorative element for both a warm cardigan and a handmade bag. A convex braid of 15 loops is used when knitting hats and sweaters. Beginner knitters like flat braids-plaits, which perfectly coexist with an openwork rhombus, a herringbone braid is suitable for more experienced ones, because now it can be knitted diagonally and on two sides, symmetrically to the central axis, and this method requires skill. In general, not only diagonal braids can decorate the drawing in the canvas - the braid can be both vertical and transverse. There is even a double-sided braid that looks the same from the front and back of knitting, so it's perfect for knitting scarves. The pattern can consist not only of whole braids - the texture of the canvas can also be created by their individual elements, such as in the Braid pattern. To understand which braid will look more spectacular on your knitting - large and lush, or it is better to choose small braids (weaving largely depends on the thickness and material of the thread), it is better to knit the pattern first.
Braids are always a great idea for any knitted product: they are universal, because they are suitable for children, women and men; there are a huge number of their varieties - there is always something to choose from; braids and plaits look wonderful on most models of knitted things, be it hats, sweaters, scarves, cardigans, snoods, mittens, sweaters, dresses, booties, vests, pants and much more.
Using schemes with descriptions of knitted braids, it is almost always possible to knit not just another thing, but a unique author's product, from which not only the craftswoman will be delighted, but everyone around.
How to knit braids with knitting needles - patterns and descriptions of patterns
It should be noted that there is a specificity of work here, which you should definitely familiarize yourself with before starting knitting. So, how to knit with braids? For this auxiliary knitting needles are required which come in different sizes. Their thickness should be selected according to a simple principle: the auxiliary knitting needles should be slightly smaller than the working knitting needles.
What is the principle of knitting braids? During operation, the loops are constantly moving. Several loops are transferred to the auxiliary knitting needle, leaving them behind or in front of the work, after which, in accordance with the selected pattern, a number of loops are knitted, and then the loops previously put on the auxiliary knitting needle are put into operation.
To make it clear on what principle the braids are knitted, we will consider several options for working with knitting needles in this style, including for novice needlewomen.

How to knit a braid with knitting needles - a master class for beginners
We will make a braid for 8 loops. We select 14 loops for the sample (12 loops for the braid and its "framing" + 2 edging) and follow the pattern.
1st row: Purl 2, facial 8, purl 2;
2nd to 4th row we knit what the knitting looks like - we knit the front loops over the front ones, over the purl ones - purl loops (photo 1).
5th row: 2 purl, 4 loops to reshoot, without knitting them, on the auxiliary knitting needle and leave in front of the work; knit the next 4 loops with the front ones (at the beginning of knitting them, try not to have a large broach between the loops). Then 4 stitches from the auxiliary knitting needles are removed onto the left knitting needles and we also knit them with the front knitting needles. It turned out that the hinges, as it were, crossed with an inclination to the left (photos 2 and 3).

This is followed by double knitting, in the first row on the needles we knit alternately one front loop and two together with the front one. In the second row with front loops, two loops together, and so on until the end of the row. Pull off all remaining loops.
