How to knit braids with needles - schemes and description of patterns
It should be noted that there is a specific work, which you should definitely get acquainted with before knitting. So, how to knit with braids? For thisAuxiliary needles are neededthat come in different sizes. Their thickness should be selected according to a simple principle: auxiliary needles should be slightly smaller than the workers.
What is the principle of braids knitting needles? The hinges are constantly moving during operation. Several loops are transferred to the auxiliary needle, leaving them behind or in front of the work, after which, in accordance with the chosen scheme, a certain number of loops are knitted, and then put back to work laid back on the auxiliary needle of the loop.
To make it clear by what principle the braids are knitted, let's consider several options for working with knitting needles in this style, including for beginner needlewomen.
Simple braid - a master class for beginners
To understand the basics of knitting braid knitting needles, consider the most simple option, ideal for beginners. This MK knitting braid suggests that the auxiliary knitting needles are replaced with a simple pin, which is extremely convenient if you have not got the right tools yet.
How to knit pigtail knitting - master class for beginners
Make a braid on 8 loops. We will dial 14 loops for the sample (12 loops for the braid and its “frame” + 2 edge loops) and follow the pattern.
1st row: 2 purl, 8 face, 2 purl;
From 2nd to 4th row we knit what a binding looks like - we knit facial over the facial, and purl loops above the purl (photo 1).
5th row:2 purl, 4 loops re-shoot, not tying them, on the auxiliary knitting needle and leave work ahead; to knit the next 4 loops with facial ones (at the beginning of their knitting, try not to have a big broach between the loops). Then 4 loops with the auxiliary needles are relocated to the left needle and also knit them with the front ones. It turned out that the loops, as it were, were crossed with a tilt to the left side (photos 2 and 3).
From the 6th to the 12th row - knit by drawing.
Next, knit repeating from the 5th row. The result is such a scythe (photo 4).
Now let's look at more complex knitted braids with needles - schemes with a description will help in this difficult task for beginners.
Beautiful volume pattern
A volumetric braid with needles will make any thing special, and will definitely add a little romance to the image. Just one three-dimensional pattern is enough, like, for example, this wonderful braid, and the thing already acquires a unique look.

1,3,7,9 rows: * 2 purl, 9 facial *, 2 purl;
2 and all even rows: 2 facial, * 9 purl, 2 facial *;

What to choose for a female cardigan?
A braid for a female cardigan may look different: large, small, repetitive, combined with other braids or in a single copy, but it will always give the knitted thing an original look.
Scheme knitting needles and symbols:
- facial (facial - in the front rows, purl - in the purl).
- cross the 10 loops to the left (remove 5 loops on the auxiliary knitting needle and leave before work, 5 following loops knit facial, then 5 loops with aux. spokes facial).
- cross the 10 loops to the right (remove 5 loops on the auxiliary knitting needle and leave at work, the next 5 loops knit facial, then 5 loops with auxiliary. knitting needles knitting facial).
Both facial and purl rows are shown in the diagram. We read the front (odd rows) from right to left, the purl (even rows) read from left to right.
Spit width - 20 loops. We repeat the height from the 1st to the 12th row. The number of rows in the scheme in height can be increased, depending on the desired pattern.
In the classic version, if we weave 5X5 braids, then between the weaves we knit 10 rows in height (including the front and back ones). Here in this model, the number of rows in the scheme should be increased in height to 16 rows.

We put our finger on the 10th row. On the side of the small braids, add to the two middle loops - 3 times in the second row. Then in the third row 3 times. When it becomes 18 loops, throw them on a pin and continue to knit a mitten. Finger can be linked later. It fits just like the mitten itself, only in a smaller size.
This is followed by double knitting, in the first row on the knitting needles we knit alternately one facial loop and two facial loops together. In the second row of facial loops, two loops together and so on until the end of the row. All remaining loops pull off.
