1. We knit 2 knit stitches together in different ways:

1.1. Knitting 2 knit stitches together with a tilt to the right
This refers to the inclination of the loops knitted together right To do this, the right knitting needle is inserted inside 2 loops on the left knitting needle as in facial knitting loops, moving from left to right. On diagrams they are indicated by a triangle with sharp corners from “bottom left” to “top right”, or an oblique line from the lower left to the upper right corner.

1.3. Knitting 2 knit stitches together with a tilt to the left (several ways) :
a) "simple broach" Not to be confused with broaching - a thread between adjacent loops in a row!
This means a method in which the upper loop obtained after knitting takes a tilted position left. On the diagrams they are indicated by a triangle with sharp corners at the bottom right and top left, or a line from the bottom right to the top left corner Simple broach - way of knitting together two loops with a slant to the left: Slip 1 stitch as a knit stitch, knit the next stitch and pull it through the slipped stitch. (Enter right knitting needle inside the first of 2 loops, moving from left to right, as when knitting a knit stitch, and remove this loop without knitting. insert the right needle into the 2nd stitch from left to right and knit it. Both loops are on the right needle. Now, using the end of the left knitting needle, moving from left to right, pick up the removed (1st unknitted) loop on the right knitting needle and throw it to the left and through the second loop and through the end of the right knitting needle. The loop of the two that was knitted remains on the right knitting needle. The loop that was removed is now thrown over the knitted one. So it turned out to be a “broach” - they stretched the knitted loop into the removed loop.)

b) "Method of rearranging loops" - slip the first loop on the right knitting needle as a knit stitch, without knitting, slip the second loop as a knitting stitch, without knitting, - in this case, both loops on the right knitting needle will be turned with their left bow forward like “grandmother’s” knitting needles,” then move from left to right with the left knitting needle inward of these two loops, return both loops in one movement to the left knitting needle; insert the right knitting needle into both removed loops inside, moving from right to left, as when knitting “grandmother’s” knit stitches, grab the thread and knit a knit stitch.

c) "2 faces crossed together"broach", aka - behind the back wall of the loops, aka crossed:
- insert the right knitting needle into two loops on the left knitting needle inward, moving from right to left, hook the working thread and knit 1 knit. loop. The knitted loops will have a slant to the left with the base of the loops crossed, or like this:

2. We knit together 2 purl loops in different ways: Decrease in purl stitches in patterns that are also readable on the purl (even) side require a left or right position of the loop on the front side

2.1. "Purl 2 together" - insert the right knitting needle inside 2 loops on the left knitting needle from right to left, hook the thread as when knitting a classic purl loop and purl both loops. On the front side we get the slope of the loop right
to photo hosting →

2.2. "2 together purl crossed" , in this case we get the slope of the front loop on the front side of the work left
There are several ways to knit:
- insert the right knitting needle from the back of the fabric into both purl loops from left to right, grab the working thread and purl both loops.
- first we swap the loops, the 1st one towards you, the second away from you and put it on the left knitting needle; then we knit 2 cm. purl
- we knit a purl loop and return it to the left knitting needle, the working thread is in front of the work. Using the end of the right knitting needle (on top of the working thread), pick up the 2nd purl (which is to the left of the knitted one) with a movement from right to left inside the loop, throw this loop over the knitted one and the end of the left knitting needle with a clockwise movement - i.e., stretch the knitted loop inside without knitted loop. Transfer the loop to the right needle.

3. We knit 3 knit stitches together in different ways:

in circuit descriptions it is often called “double pull” , while the loop obtained after decreases can take the right, left or middle position, which in openwork patterns is of no small importance, because the slopes of the loops after making decreases are used to emphasize expressiveness sides of openwork rhombuses, openwork triangles, leaves, etc. - by their tilt, these loops are precisely highlight, emphasize openwork elements. This is especially clearly demonstrated in pattern 13 - if you do not observe the inclination of the loops, the pattern will not have a complete, neat outline (look). For example

3.2. “Double broach” - knit three loops together with the central position of the middle (second) loop:

A) middle loop in the center and in front of the loops (under the middle loop the 1st and behind it the 3rd loop): slip 2 loops as knit stitches on the right knitting needle at the same time, thread behind the loops, knit 1 loop and put 2 slipped loops on it

3.3. “double pull” - three loops together, tilting the knitted loop left
When broaching, the loop previously removed on the right knitting needle is put on the one knitted from 2 together (and not vice versa)
A) in this case, the middle loop will be located in the center and behind the loops (the 3rd, then the 1st loop is “put on” the middle loop):

- remove 1 p. as persons - i.e. insert the right knitting needle into the first of three loops knitted together on the left knitting needle with a movement as when knitting a knitting loop, but we do not knit this loop, but re-slip it, the working thread behind the loop being removed;
- knit 2p. together persons - i.e. we knit together the front 2nd and 3rd loops out of 3 knitted; on the right knitting needle - 2 loops: one removed, the second - from loops knitted together. With the left knitting needle, before work, pick up the removed loop and throw it to the left through the second loop and the end of the right knitting needle, one loop remains on the right knitting needle

Example in the pattern:

b) In openwork, there are variants of “double broaching”, when two loops are retaken on the right knitting needle as front ones, i.e. With a movement similar to when knitting knit stitches, the third loop is knitted. Using the end of the left knitting needle in front of the fabric, pry up both removed unknitted loops and move the left knitting needle from right to left to throw them through the knitted third loop.
Example in the pattern:

Note: If a simple broach is performed precisely in order to turn the top loop to the left position, then a double broach is performed for the same purposes. Thank you for at least writing in the diagrams, using the expression “double broaching,” exactly what position and for which of the three loops should end up in the pattern, because the result will be different.
That is, after execution simple broach out of 2 loops you will have one loop left on the knitting needle. After execution double broach out of 3 loops, one will remain (two were reduced).

3.4. Knit three crossed knit stitches together, slanting left and right:

3.5. Knit three together, middle stitch on top, "GRANDMOTHER'S WAY":
There are three loops on the left needle. Swap the 1st and 2nd loops so that the 1st goes behind the second (take the 1st stitch back, the second one forward, put the 1st loop on the left needle first, then the second loop). Now on the left knitting needle the loops are arranged from right to left like this: 2nd, 1st, 3rd loops. Knit them together, with the 2nd loop in the center

Double broach also called "By knitting three loops together using the slip method" , she's the same "knitting three loops together with a tilt to the left", with a loop in the center, :

Today we will delve deeper into the theory again. Namely, we will talk about what kind of concept it is - broaching with knitting needles. And how to knit or lift a loop from a broach... You have probably come across this concept more than once in various descriptions of knitted products.

Personally, I come across this quite often... But in practice I rarely use it. Why?

The force of habit just works... You get used to a certain kind of techniques, you seem to know about others, but you forget to use them... It’s the same with me with broaches... I usually use other methods that are more familiar to me...

But, nevertheless, information on how to knit a loop from a broach or lift it from the bottom row can be useful for those who are just learning to knit, and for people like me, who seem to know how, but not in full...might be useful.

Let's start with the fact that the concept of broaching with knitting needles has a double meaning.

What is knitting?

1. This is the name of the thread between the loops
2. Broaching is also an action in which loops are decreased, not simply, but either with a slope (if one loop is decreased), or vice versa, to avoid tilting (when two loops are decreased)

Today we’ll take a closer look at point one:

What is pulling between loops and how to lift a loop from the bottom row

The stretch between the loops is a “constant value.”

So, if you come across the following phrase in the descriptions of models: “knit or lift a loop from a broach”... then know that the actions in this case are similar to the actions, only instead of yarn over they use the thread between the loops of the bottom row.

See how it's done

• Use the right knitting needle to pry up the broach and throw it onto the left knitting needle...

• Next... if we want a hole (openwork) to form, we knit the raised loop behind the upper (back) segment,

and if we want the knitted fabric to turn out without extra holes, then we will knit the front one using the nearest (lower) segment of the loop...

In this case, the “new” loop lifted from the broach will twist and there will be no hole...

A similar result can be achieved by immediately throwing a broach on the left knitting needle in a twisted state and tying it with the front one behind the back lobe

The same actions can be done with . When lifting loops from a broach, in contrast to increases with a double crochet, you get a much smaller hole in the openwork and a completely almost imperceptible transition from loop to loop in a solid knitted fabric. Therefore, I strongly recommend that everyone, including myself, take a closer look at this knitting technique.

This concludes my story about how to lift a loop from a broach. We found out that this technique is used to increase loops when knitting. Next time we will deal with point 2, where broaching is nothing more than a method of decreasing with knitting needles.

We continue to introduce you to the basic techniques of knitting. Today we’ll talk about ways to add loops.

Knitting one loop from a broach

The connection between two loops is the thread between the loop lying on the right needle and the loop lying on the left needle. This thread is called broaching.

Use the right knitting needle to grab the broach and transfer it to the left knitting needle. Knit the newly formed loop as a knit stitch or in accordance with the pattern described in the instructions.

Knitting one front crossed loop from a broach

Use the right knitting needle to grab the broach and transfer it to the left knitting needle. With the right knitting needle, grab it by the back wall and knit it with the front one.

Knitting one purl loop from the broach

Transfer the broach to the left knitting needle, with the worker lying in front of the work. Knit 1 purl stitch from the broach.

Adding one loop inside the fabric using a yarn over

One loop inside the fabric between two loops can be added using a yarn over: throw the working thread on the right knitting needle in the direction away from you. Yarn over like a regular loop. With this technique of adding loops, holes are formed on the canvas, creating the effect.

Yarn over the left needle and then knit it in the next row.

Adding one purl loop using a yarn over

Yarn over the left needle and then purl it.

Adding loops along the edge of the fabric

To give knitted details loops of the desired shape are added from both edges. In this case, special techniques are used.

Adding stitches along the right edge

1. Insert the right needle into edge loop, as in knitting, i.e. behind its back wall in the direction away from you. Pull the working thread through it, do not transfer the resulting loop to the right needle, but leave it on the left.

2. Using the left needle, grab the loop of the right needle away from you and transfer it to the left needle. Repeat steps 1 and 2 as many times as you need to add loops (Fig. 1).

Fig.1

3. On the added loops, knit in accordance with the pattern.

Adding stitches along the left edge

1. Lay the working thread around the large one towards you.

2. Using the right needle, grab the lower thread coming from the thumb (Fig. 2).

Rice. 2

3. Using the right needle, pick up the upper thread and pull through the loop. Then remove thumb from the loop and tighten the thread on the knitting needle.
Thus a new loop was formed.

4. Repeat steps 1-3 as many times as needed to cast on stitches.

Based on materials from the magazine “Burda”

First of all, let's figure out what we mean by the word "broaching". It turns out that there is one word, but several options for understanding. We'll figure out.

Option 1 . A broach is an arcuate section of working thread between two loops, as shown in the picture below:

When it comes to ADDING loops (see below) or making connecting seams, then by the word “broaching” we mean exactly what is drawn in the picture.

Option 2 . Under broaching implied method of decreasing loops . We must take into account, that broaches can be simple, double and even triple. A broach of two loops ( simple broach ) is performed as follows. Knit one stitch and put it back on the left needle. Insert the right knitting needle from the right side of the knitting into the second loop, grab and pull the first through it. As a result, your second stitch, which you will not knit on the next row, is slanted to the right. It turned out to be a simple broach.

To ensure that the loop is tilted to the left after knitting, insert the right knitting needle through two loops and pull the working thread through them to the right side of the fabric. You ended up with two loops knitted together.

Option 3. Ornaments, jacquard patterns, Norwegian patterns - when knitting these patterns in one row, threads of two or more colors are used. Thread that is not used stretches out from the wrong side of knitting

On the wrong side of the part knitted jacquard pattern, visible broaches

Now let's take a closer look at these options:

Adding loops from the broach

Adding loops from a broach is exactly the method using which you can not only add the required number of loops, but also perform decorative design products.

Tie the row to the place where you intend to draw it. Then insert the knitting needle into the broach between the loops.

In the next row, insert the knitting needle into the broach and transfer it to the left knitting needle without knitting.

After this, knit the broach with a knit stitch, inserting the knitting needle behind the back wall.

Openwork holes can decorate any product.

Double-sided addition of loops from broach

This type of adding loops is performed on the same principle as one-sided.

Having knitted to the place where the stitches will be added, insert the knitting needle into the broach and, without knitting, throw it onto the left knitting needle. Then knit the next stitch and reinsert the knitting needle into the broach and also transfer it to the left knitting needle without knitting. In the next row, knit the broach removed in the previous row with a knit stitch, then knit the next loop and the next broach in the same way. The result should be a central loop with openwork holes.

Adding loops from crossed broach

Adding loops from a crossed broach is performed similarly to one-sided addition, except that with this method the added loop turns out to be crossed.

The increase can be done either at the beginning of knitting, or in the middle, or across the entire width of the fabric. To do this, insert the right knitting needle into the broach behind the back wall.

Knit the folded broach with a knit stitch.

Using in work this method adding loops, you can easily and quickly, and most importantly, add loops imperceptibly in the overall pattern. This is how, in particular, darts are knitted.

Double-sided addition of loops from crossed broaches

Bilateral addition of loops from crossed broaches is performed in the same way as unilateral addition.

In the place where you intend to add the knitting needle, insert it into the broach behind the back wall and knit it with a knit stitch. Then knit the center stitch. After this, insert the knitting needle into the next broach and knit it over the back wall. This addition of loops is an excellent design technique in knitting a product.

Connecting seams

Vertical seam for stockinette stitch

This method of stitching parts is used if the product is knitted with stockinette stitch.
If there is a need, then before starting to sew the parts together, they are ironed. Place the parts to be sewn on a flat surface, insert the needle into broach between the edge stitch and the next stitch and pull the thread through. Then, on the opposite part of the product, insert the needle into broach between the edge stitch and the next stitch. Repeat steps 1 and 2 several times, then tighten the thread. As you sew the seam, carefully monitor the thread tension so that the product does not become skewed.

Vertical seam for purl stitch

The principle of making this seam is the same as for the seam on the front surface. This seam is used to sew together parts of a product knitted with purl or garter stitch.
Insert the needle into broach between the edge stitch and the next stitch. After this, move the needle to the other half, insert it into broach between the edge stitch and the next stitch. After a certain distance, tighten the thread.

Reducing loops using the elongated loop method (broaching)

To perform this type of decrease, slip one loop onto the right needle, knit the next stitch and pull it through the removed loop.

In the front row:

1. Insert the right knitting needle into the loop on the left knitting needle, transfer it from the left knitting needle to the right one - see Fig. 1, a.

2. We knit the next loop in the usual way (Fig. 1, b). .

3. Insert the end of the left knitting needle into the unknitted loop and pull it through the knitted loop (Fig. 1, c). This decrease creates a slant of the loops to the left on the front side of the knitted fabric.

To get the loops to tilt to the right (in the front row), you need to perform the indicated operation in the back row.

To decrease stitches on a purl row:

1. We insert the right knitting needle into the loop on the left knitting needle, as for knitting purl, and, without knitting, transfer it to the right one, see Fig. 2, a.

2. We purl the next loop as usual (Fig. 2, b).

3.Insert the end of the left knitting needle into the previously unknitted loop and pull it through the knitted one (Fig. 2, c).

Decrease loops made at a distance of 2-3 loops from the edge look beautiful. In this case, we get a beautiful and even line for connecting parts (for example, in models with raglan sleeves or for a V-shaped neckline).

Reducing 3 loops by pulling

1. Transfer one loop to the right knitting needle = 1st loop, the working thread is behind the knitting needle, knit the next 2 loops together = 2nd loop (Fig. 6, a).

2.Insert the knitting needle into the removed loop and pull it through the next two loops, dropping the loop from the knitting needle. Instead of 3 loops, 1 loop is obtained, 2 decreases are made (Fig. 6, b).

Several decreases in a row form a clear straight line (Fig. 6, c).

I think that now the term “broaching” will no longer cause any difficulties!

broachspan style= img alt= style=

When knitting on knitting needles, you can achieve a variety of patterns by combining different types loops, adding or reducing their number. There are several methods to reduce or increase the number of stitches in knitting. And one of them is a simple broach.

You will need

• – yarn (it’s better not to take very smooth threads for broaching);
• – working knitting needles.

Instructions

1. First, understand the terminology of the word “broach”. It so happened that in knitting two completely different ideas received the same name. This word can mean part of a loop, or rather, the thread between two loops on the right and left needles. This type of broach can be used when knitting to add loops. To do this, grab it with your left knitting needle and pull it away from you. Then, using the right knitting needle, grab the resulting loop by the back wall and pull the working thread to the right side of the knitting. You now have an extra loop on your right needle.

2. If by broaching you mean a method of decreasing loops, then keep in mind that they can be primitive, double and even triple. The broaching of 2 loops (simple broaching) is performed in the following manner. Knit one stitch and put it back on the left needle. Insert the right knitting needle from the right side of the knitting into the second loop, grab and pull the first through it. As a result, you have a second loop, which you will not knit in the next row, tilted to the right. It turned out to be a simple broach.

3. So that the loop is tilted to the left after knitting, insert the right knitting needle through two loops and pull the working thread through them to the right side of the fabric. You ended up with two loops knitted together.

Note!
In different sources, broaches are called differently. A primitive broach can be called dual due to the number of loops knitted together. Therefore, the main thing is to orient yourself in a timely manner and correctly understand the meaning of what is written. Look at the diagram or in the presentation exactly how many loops are involved in the broaching.

Helpful advice
If desired, the loops knitted together can be tilted both to the left and to the right. When tilting to the right, the same result is obtained as when performing a primitive broach. On the canvas it is quite difficult to determine which method you used to reduce the number of loops if they are tilted to the right. Consequently, from the presentation or drawing, you only need to figure out the direction of the loops, and how to reduce them - as the case arises. The decision may depend on the convenience of performing this element for you personally.
