Crochet in one direction or in rows back and forth. Knitting in
one direction occurs in a circle. Any crochet
starts with knitting a chain.

Knitting loops with a chain or air loops

Place the end of the thread on the index finger of your left hand (Fig. 1).
IN
Take the hook with your right hand so that the curved part is facing you.
Pass the hook under the thread located on the left index finger
hands, hook it and turn the hook with thread counterclockwise,
so that a complete revolution is completed. The resulting crosshairs of threads
hold with your left thumb. Pass the hook under again
thread lying on the index finger of the left hand (Fig. 2).
Hook the thread, pull it through the crosshairs and tighten. The first loop of the chain is ready.
For
knitting subsequent loops, pass the hook under the thread lying on
index finger of your left hand, hook it and drag it through the first
loop and so on (Fig. 3).

Half double crochet

Half columns
single crochet are used for knitting a dense and even edge of the product, and
also for connecting a chain into a circle and individual parts together.
A half-column corresponds to 1 lifting loop.
Knitting a half column:

Chain


Crochet one chain stitch, then insert the hook into the third stitch from
the beginning of the row, starting the count from the air loop, and pass the hook under
thread on the index finger of the left hand. Hook the thread and
pull it through the loop of the chain (Fig. 4). There are now two loops on the hook.
Pull the loop located on the hook on the left through the loop that
more to the right. It turned out to be a half single crochet.

Single crochet

Column
Single crochet is knitted in the same way as a single crochet. See description
higher. The difference is that when two loops are formed on the hook
as in (Fig. 4), insert the hook again under the thread on the index finger
left hand and hook the thread (Fig. 5). Pull it through two loops.
The single crochet is ready (Fig. 6).

To knit the second
single crochet, insert the hook into the next stitch after the first stitch
loop and pass it under the thread on the index finger of your left hand.
Hook the thread and pull it through the loop, thus getting two
loops on the hook. Place the hook under the thread on your index finger again
left hand, hook it and pull it through two loops. That's how it turned out
second single crochet. So continue on.

Double crochet

Chain
from air loops, place the front one on the index finger of your left hand
side towards you. Hold the chain with your left thumb.
Knit two chain stitches for lifting and yarn over. For this
pass the hook under the thread on the index finger of your left hand and grab
thread (Fig. 7.)
Insert the hook with a loop and crochet into the fourth loop
chains, grab the thread and pull it through this loop. On hook
a loop, a yarn over and another loop are formed, that is, three loops (Fig. 8).

Knit
twice these three loops. First, knit a loop and yarn over together to
To do this, grab the thread with your hook and pull it through the double crochet loop.
There are now two loops on the hook (Fig. 9). Grab the thread again with the hook and
pull it through these two loops. So it turned out to be a double crochet.

Half double crochet

Half column
Double crochet is worked in exactly the same way as a double crochet stitch. See description
higher. The difference is that when you have three loops on your hook: a loop,
Yarn over, loop as in (Fig. 8), then you need to knit these three loops
together once. To do this, grab the thread and pull it straight through
three loops (Fig. 10).

Double crochet stitch

Column
with two crochets is knitted the same way as a double crochet stitch. The difference is
that for lifting, knit three air loops and instead of one
Yarn over twice so that four loops are formed on the hook: a loop,
yarn over, more yarn over, loop (Fig. 11). These four loops need to be knitted in
three steps. First, pass the hook under the thread on your index finger.
left hand, hook it and pull it through the loop and the second yarn over, then
pass the hook under the thread again, hook it and pull it through the loop
and the first yarn over. After this, two loops will remain on the hook, which
need to be knitted together.

Convex and concave columns

Convex and concave columns are the same double crochets.
What is their difference? When knitting convex and concave columns, the hook is passed not through the loop, but between the columns of the row.

Convex

row from the front surface and at the same time bend around the column from behind (Fig. 12).
Concave
a column is obtained when the hook is passed between the columns of the previous one
row from the wrong side and at the same time bend around the column in front (Fig. 13).

Crayfish loops

For
To finish the edge, the technique of “crawfish step” or “crawfish” loops is often used,
giving the edge strength and good appearance. Unlike everyone else
In other crochet weaves, this type of knitting is performed from left to right.
Insert the hook under the loop away from you, pry the thread from below and pull it out
so that it is in front of the loop that is on the hook, then
knit both loops together (Fig. 14).

Long loops

Long
or elongated loops are knitted as follows: Tie a chain, and on
It is a row of single crochets. Turn knitting. Before knitting
long loop, take knitting in your right hand, bring thumb
left hand under the main thread and pull it towards you, pulling out the long
loop. Now take your knitting in left hand, so that the thread lies on
index finger of the left hand. Insert the hook into the loop of the row lying
to the left of the extended loop. Pass the hook under the thread lying on
index finger of your left hand and knit a single crochet (Fig. 15).
Release your thumb. Now you can knit the next loop.
The next row, after the row with elongated loops, knit in stitches without
Yarn over to secure the elongated loops. To continue the series you need
alternate.

Knitting circle

For
fulfillment of the majority knitted toys you need to know how to crochet

half single crochet into a ring. To do this, pass the hook through
first loop of the chain, hook the thread and pull it through two loops
(Fig. 16). Tie the ring with single crochets, passing the hook to the center
rings. In total you need to knit one air loop for lifting and 7
single crochets to make 8 stitches. Having completed the eighth
stitch, insert the hook into the chain loop with which you started the row. On
two loops are formed on the hook. Place the hook under the thread on your index finger.
finger of your left hand, hook it and pull it through these two loops, closing
thus the first row of the circle. Start the second row and all subsequent ones
also from an air loop. In the second row, knit one air loop and
15 single crochets, that is, 16 stitches in total, knitting on
each loop has two columns. Finish the second row with a half-column without
yarn over, connecting the loop from the 15th stitch with the chain loop of the beginning of the second
row. All subsequent rows also start with one air loop and
end with a half single crochet.
Number of columns in each row
equal to the number of columns of the previous row plus 8 columns, taking into account that
The first column in each row is an air loop. Circle knitting pattern
and symbols in (Fig. 17):

1 row 8 columns
2 row 16 columns
3rd row 24 columns
4 row 32 columns
5 row 40 columns
The interval between additions also increases gradually:
2nd row - knit 2 stitches in each loop
Row 3 – knit 2 stitches in every second stitch
Row 4 – knit 2 stitches in every third stitch
Row 5 – in every fourth loop, knit 2 stitches and so on.

Loop structure
Air loop
Chain

Single crochet and double crochet are used as the basis for crocheting.
Air loop
(Fig. 1, 2) serves as the beginning of knitting, forming a chain of air loops,
which is a preparatory row and is used in knitting all
patterns.

To chain
did not pull the knitted fabric, it can be done with a thicker crochet
and thickened threads. The hook is taken in the right hand, like a pencil, between
with your thumb and forefinger, turning the barb of the hook towards you. Thread
from the ball they place it on the index finger of the left hand, with the end towards you,
holding it with your thumb. The hook is inserted from right to left under the working
thread on the index finger of the left hand, then turn the hook
counterclockwise 360 ​​degrees and, without tightening the loop,
formed on it, with a movement away from you, throw the thread onto the hook. For
this, the head of the hook is brought from left to right under the thread on the index
finger, grab it and pull it towards you through the loop on the hook.
Having knitted the first loop of the chain, throw the thread on the hook and pull it through
through the loop on it. This is how the base chain of the required length is knitted.

When starting to complete the first row of the pattern, make several
chain air loops, which are called lifting loops. They
replace the 1st column of the new row. The number of lifting loops depends on
column height: the higher the column, the more lifting loops.

Now let's consider loop structure crochet:

At
in crocheting, the loops of the knitted stitches are fixed and shaped
braids, which is the basis for knitting the next row.
The braid loop consists of the back and front walls (Fig. 3). A loop
located on the hook shaft is called the leading loop and is taken into account
it does not fit into the loops. If the description of the 1st row of the pattern says “knit
stitch in the 5th loop of the chain", this means that you need to count from
loops on the hook 4 loops of the chain and insert the hook into the next loop.

Half column
Half column
(it corresponds to 1 lifting loop) Used when knitting edges
product so that it is smooth and dense, and when connecting shapes. Knitting
it’s like this: the hook is inserted into the loop of the previous row, grabbed with the hook
working thread and pull it directly through the loop of the row
(chains) and a loop lying on the hook.

Single crochet
Column
Single crochet is also called a short stitch (it corresponds to 2 loops
rise). The hook is inserted into the loop of the previous row or chain (then in
2nd loop, not counting the loop on the hook), grab the thread and pull
loop. There are 2 loops on the hook. Again they grab the thread and
pull it through 2 loops on the hook.

Double crochet
Column
with a double crochet (it corresponds to 3 lifting loops). They throw a thread on
hook away from you, insert the hook into the loop of the previous row or chain
(then in the 3rd loop from the hook, not counting the loop on the hook), grab
thread and pull the loop to the level of the loop lying on the hook. On hook
3 loops have been formed - an elongated loop, a yarn over and a leading loop)
(Fig. 1a). Then put the thread on the hook again and pull it through

hook and knit all the loops on the hook in 1 step.

Crossed double crochet.
Knit 2 double crochets crosswise: first on the 2nd loop of the base, then on the 1st.

Crossed double crochet
(to him
corresponds to 5 lifting loops). Having made 2 yarn overs, insert the hook into the 6th
loop of the chain, pick up the working thread and pull it through this
loop (4 loops on hook). Pick up the working thread (Fig. 20a) and
knit 2 loops (3 loops on the hook). Without knitting loops on the hook,
Yarn over, insert the hook into the base loop through one loop to the left of
1st column, pick up the working thread and pull it through this
loop (there are 5 loops on the hook). Next, picking up the working thread (Fig. 20b),
alternately knit 2 loops 4 times (1 loop remains on the hook).
Make 1 air loop, yarn over and insert the hook into the center of the column,
grabbing 2 threads (Fig. 20c), pick up the working thread and pull
it through 2 threads of the center of the column (3 loops on the hook). Picking up
working thread, knit 2 loops 2 times (Fig. 20d).
These columns can form an independent pattern and be combined with other columns.

Pico (regular).
Do
4 chain stitches, then insert the hook into the 2nd chain stitch,
grab and pull the thread, then throw the thread on the hook and
knit 1 more chain stitch.

Pico down.
Execute
like a regular picot, only the chain of air loops is turned down.
To do this, knit a chain of 4 air loops and grab it with a large
and the index fingers of the left hand, slightly pulling down, and the hook
moving away from you, insert into the 2nd loop of the chain, grabbing and pulling
a thread. Next, knit 1 more air loop.

A closed ring of air loops.
A simple chain of chain stitches is knitted, then the loop on the hook is connected with a half-stitch to the first chain stitch of the chain.

The number of closed loops is usually indicated on the diagrams in a ring. This
a closed ring is usually the beginning of knitting round motifs,
napkins.

Long loops.
Tie
a chain, and on it a row of single crochets. Turn knitting, before
by knitting the second loop of the chain, grab the fabric with your right hand, and
Place the thumb of your left hand under the working thread and pull it a little
her on herself. Intercept the fabric with your left hand so that the end of the loop
located on the thumb, was brought to the hook, and knit
single crochet, then release your thumb from the loop. On
there will be a long loop attached to the canvas. Then pick up the canvas
with your right hand, pull the working thread with your left thumb,
forming a loop from it, and secure it by knitting the following
single crochet. Continue like this until the end of the row.
Knit the next row with single crochets - this is the securing row. Next, alternate these rows.

Knitting in the round.
For
To make most crocheted toys you need to know how to knit
circle. First, knit a chain of four chain stitches and connect
half-column into a ring. Then, inserting the hook into the ring and picking up
thread, knit 8 single crochets. Connect the first and last
half-column columns. In each next row, increase evenly
the number of stitches to be knitted so that their number is equal to the number
indicated on the diagram.
Each closed line in the diagram represents a row, and the number indicates the number of columns in that row.

Rachy step.
Single crochet is knitted from left to right.

Pattern repeat
Drawing
patterned fabric usually consists of repeating identical elements.
The part of the pattern that repeats is called a motif or rapport
pattern. In the diagrams, rapport is highlighted *...* - with asterisks.
For that
so that the pattern elements are arranged symmetrically and for the edge, usually
at the beginning or at the end of the row, make columns in additional loops
(the number of these loops is given in the description of each pattern, edge loops
are included in this number).
To record a pattern, you can use not only
text, but also diagram. Consider the diagram from bottom to top. All odd
rows (1, 3, 5, etc.) are read from right to left, all even rows (2, 4,
6th, etc.) - from left to right. Having finished knitting the motif in height,
continue to knit, reading the pattern from the 1st row (bottom to top). Sometimes a pattern
repeats from the 2nd, 3rd or 4th row.

For example:
Pattern 1 In this pattern, the number of loops should be a multiple of 9 (pattern motif) plus 2 additional loops.
If
in the sample the pattern motif is repeated 2 times, then the number of loops in the motif
multiply by 2 and add 2 loops. The sample is knitted according to the pattern: from the 4th row
The pattern is repeated from the 2nd row.

They also have the name of relief columns, and they are also popularly called front and back relief columns. The name itself already suggests that such columns differ from ordinary ones in their shape. Using these columns we get beautiful patterns, braids, elastic bands. These posts are attached differently than regular ones. This is what we will talk about below.

Video master class on crocheting concave and convex columns:

Description of the process of crocheting embossed columns:

There are two types of relief columns:

• Convex or embossed “facial”;
• Concave or raised “purls”.

Important! When knitting an elastic band, these stitches cannot be knitted in a chain of air loops; they are knitted only from the second row. The first row is usually worked with double crochets. The embossed columns themselves are knitted not by the loop, but by the columns themselves of the previous row. You can learn more about this from the lesson.

How to knit a convex (front) column

Next row we begin to knit embossed columns. We do not knit in the base loop. We insert a double crochet hook on the front side (from right to left), behind the double crochet of the previous row, pick up the thread, and, pulling out the loop, knit a double crochet. We knitted the first convex double crochet.

How to knit a concave (purl) stitch

The 1st row needs to be knitted with double crochets.

Next row we begin to knit embossed columns. We do not knit in the base loop. We insert a hook from the wrong side of the fabric (from right to left), in front of the double crochet of the previous row, pick up the thread, and, pulling out the loop, knit a double crochet. We knitted the first concave double crochet.

In the same way, embossed single crochets, embossed half double crochets and others are knitted.

The hero of this lesson for beginners from “Crochet” is the double crochet. The element is one of the most common, and today we will show you step by step and in pictures how to perform it correctly. And, of course, you won’t be able to do without traditional tips for dessert.

In crochet patterns, a double crochet is indicated by a large vertical line with small dashes, the number of which corresponds to the number of double crochets we need. The lines can be horizontal, inclined, or even look like a zigzag line - don’t let this confuse you, they all mean the same thing. In job descriptions, this element is designated Art. from 1 n., art. from 2 n., art. from 3 n. and so on, or C1H, C2H, C3H.

• Double crochet - 3 ch.
• Double crochet stitch – 4 ch.
• Double crochet stitch – ch 5
• Double crochet stitch – ch 6

Art. 1 n. Art. 2 n. Art. 3 n.

The rules for knitting on the front wall, the back wall or both are exactly the same as when knitting. And our hero of the day fits in very similarly.

How to knit a single crochet stitch correctly

To move to a new row, we need three lifting loops. Therefore, if we have the first row, we skip three loops plus one base loop and start knitting from the fifth chain loop from the hook.

Before inserting the hook into the loop, we make a yarn over - we pick up the working thread in the same way as we do when knitting loops. The hook creates an air loop and a yarn over. Only after this do we insert the hook into the fifth chain loop from it (and during further knitting, this will be the first loop from the hook in the previous row), pick up the thread and knit. There is now a loop on the hook, a yarn over and another loop. We pick up the working thread and knit the newly knitted loop and yarn over together. We have two loops on our hook, and we knit them together. Done, you can proceed to the next similar element.

Step 1 Step 2 Step 3 Step 4

How to knit stitches with two or more crochets

Columns with two, three crochets and so on are knitted in the same way, with the only difference being that before inserting the hook into the loop of the previous row, we make the appropriate number of turns of the thread - these will be our yarn overs. They should be knitted alternately: a loop and one yarn over, the next step to form a loop and a second yarn over, and so on until there are two loops left on the hook, which we will knit together.

Step 1 Step 2 Step 3 Step 4

Important: each yarn over corresponds to one lifting loop. That is, in the first row we will insert the hook into the sixth, seventh and so on loop from it. Don't forget to knit these stitches in advance. When moving from one row to another, also remember to increase the number of lifting loops.

Convex and concave columns

Starting from the second row, we can knit relief columns - convex and concave. They are also called knit and purl stitches. In the diagrams they are indicated vertical lines with an unfinished circle at the bottom with the corresponding number of horizontal lines - the convex one corresponds to the image where the unfinished part of the circle is on the left, and the concave one - where it is on the right.

Convex Concave

Let's take a closer look at our first row. There are gaps between the vertical elements - this is what we will use in further work.

How to knit a double crochet

For a convex, or front, double crochet, we will insert a hook from the front side of the work between the vertical elements of the previous row and go around the element, as shown in the photo. Of course, we didn’t forget to thread the working thread first. We pick up the thread and pull it through so that it ends up behind the post, and we have a loop on our hook. We knit it together with the yarn over, the next technique is both loops we have obtained. Here is the first front relief column.

Step 1 Step 2 Step 3 Step 4

How to knit a concave double crochet

To knit a concave, or purl, embossed double crochet, we do the same as in previous version, just insert the hook into the work from the wrong side and knit the loops behind the work. This is not very convenient, so it is better to turn the hook with its nose up.

Step 1 Step 2 Step 3
Step 4

Now let’s try to knit knit stitches and purl stitches alternately. We will get a vertical elastic band like this, it stretches wonderfully. It must be admitted that this is a very useful drawing when you need to make cuffs or a neckline. With such an elastic band you can create a whole product - for example, a snood or an elastic scarf.

Important: when using this technique, the row will turn out lower than usual, so at the end, when you reach the lifting loops, it is better to knit not in them, but under the chain in order to equalize the height.

Simple drawings

And for the promised dessert, we have selected several simple drawings that you can easily complete after today’s lesson.

With common ground

A very common and at the same time interesting pattern is obtained if we knit two or more stitches in one loop of the previous row - this is called knitting in a common base. They are knitted in the following order.

Step 1 Step 2 Step 3

To prevent our product from becoming deformed, we count the required number of loops from the previous row. If we knit three stitches in a common base, skip one loop and knit into the second, if there are five, skip two and knit into the third - their number in the top and bottom rows should be the same. In the diagram it looks like this:

After we have knitted the required number of stitches into one loop (it is usually odd), we skip the same number of loops below as before starting the element and continue working.

Important: when working on such a pattern, you need to calculate the length of the row in advance. Number of v.p. in the chain must be a multiple of the number of d.n.

If you need to increase the row, and when working on a round product this will be necessary, use exactly this technique - knit the required number of columns into one base. Of course, in this case you won’t have to skip anything at the base of the row.

With a common top

The next picture is a mirror image of the previous one. This time we will knit the base in different loops, but the top will be the same. In this case, we will first knit the required number of air loops - we count in the same way as we counted in the previous pattern, how many of them need to be skipped: with three chain stitches. do 1 vp, with five - 3 vp. Next we will work in the following order.

• We make a yarn over, pull the working thread out of the first loop and knit the resulting loop together with the yarn over. We now have two loops on the hook, which we are not knitting yet.
• In the next loop of the bottom row we will again knit half a dc. - and so on until there is the required number.
• We close all half-knitted stitches in one step, pulling the working thread through them.
• We make a chain of the appropriate length.

Step 1 Step 2 Step 3

The same technique - knitting with a common top - can be used to decrease a row. In this case, we will not need the chains that we made so that the rows were the same in length.

Crossed columns

Let's look at how to make this pattern using the example of s.2n. through one v.p. It is indicated by two crossed lines with dashes - above and below the crosshair, and on the diagram it looks like this:

Such a drawing is made as follows.

• We perform four ch. for lifting.
• We throw the working thread over twice and insert the hook into the fifth loop from it.
• We stretch the working thread and knit together the formed loop and the first yarn over - the second one is still on our hook. It turns out that we knitted s.2n. half. Let's leave it like this for now and move on to the next one.
• We pass one loop of the base and pull the thread through the second.
• We knit the resulting loops and yarn overs in pairs until there are two loops left on the hook, which we will also knit together.
• We make one v.p. and throw on the working thread.
• Insert the hook into the crosshairs under two arcs, as shown in the picture, and pull the thread through.
• We finish the column as usual - knitting loops and yarn overs in pairs.

Scheme Step 1 Step 2 Step 3
Step 4 Step 5 Step 6 Step 7

It turned out openwork pattern, which can serve, for example, as a decorative border. This pattern is often used when designing works done in. For greater airiness, we made not one air loop in the element, but two.

Crossed columns

Oddly enough, crossed and crossed are two completely different designs. You can cross both to the right and to the left, we will analyze both options. The number of crossing columns can also be different. For example, we will cross three with one.

Double crochets crossed to the right

We skip one loop of the base and knit the required number of stitches, starting from the second, in the usual way. Now we return to the skipped loop and knit the crossed d.c. into her. Of course, we also calculate the length of the chain in advance.

Scheme Step 1 Step 2 Step 3 Step 4

Double crochets crossed to the left

We step back from the edge of the row by the required number of loops - in our case we will skip three and knit a dc. on the fourth the same as usual. Now let’s go back to the beginning of the row and connect three more dc. behind the crosser. This is the pattern we got.

Of course, you can make a lot of patterns using our “hero of the day.” We are already preparing a selection with a variety of drawings and schemes for their implementation. Wait for our next lessons! In the meantime, don’t forget to share what we taught you on social networks.

“We did not mention the “post” fastening method. This method of attaching posts to the posts of the previous row forms a separate type - embossed or convex posts, so we have dedicated a separate section to this.

There are two types of embossed (convex) posts: located in front of the work (on the canvas) and behind the work (behind the canvas). The embossed columns before the work are also called the front ones, and the relief columns behind the work are called the purl ones. Like other types of stitches, convex stitches can be single crochet, single crochet or any other number of crochets. Let's see how to knit embossed stitches with one crochet.

Embossed single crochet stitch before work

We make a yarn over, on the front side of the work we insert the hook behind the column of the previous row, while the column is on top of the hook.

Grab the working thread, pull out the loop and . It turns out that the leg of the newly knitted column clasps the leg of the column of the previous row.

Embossed single crochet stitch at work

It is performed in the same way, only the hook is inserted not from the front, but from the wrong side of the work.

If you knit all rows with convex columns of the same type, you get a relief fabric with deep transverse grooves.

If you knit alternately: one row with embossed columns before work, the other - after work, then the appearance of the fabric from different sides will be different.

For example, if you knit convex ones on the front side before work, and on the back side - after work, then transverse grooves will be on the wrong side, and on the face there will be rows of columns and a flat surface (bottom rows in the photo). If, on the contrary, you knit relief columns along the front side behind the work, transverse grooves will appear on the front side (pictured above).

How to crochet different embossed stitches + patterns and master classes

Very often in diagrams and descriptions of patterns there are embossed or concave columns. I am often asked what it is and what it is eaten with. From this lesson you will learn how to crochet embossed columns.

The name of the column speaks for itself - these columns are used to create a relief of a knitted fabric; they are often used to knit elastic bands or braids. The difference between a relief double crochet and a regular double crochet is in the method of fastening relative to the columns of the previous row. With the help of relief stitches, you can change the texture of the main loops and create beautiful relief patterns on your knitted items.

There are two types of relief columns:
- raised facial or “convex”
- embossed purl or “concave”

Let's look at both options using examples:

It is important to note that embossed columns cannot be knitted in a chain of air loops; the initial row must be connected with any other loops. The columns are not knitted through the loops of the previous row; the hook is inserted under the columns themselves.

I have already prepared a sample and knitted two rows of regular double crochets. Let's start knitting a relief stitch, so we yarn over the hook,

insert the hook from the front side from right to left, under the double crochet of the previous row

grab the thread

and pull out a new loop (there will be three loops on the hook),

When crocheting a double crochet “before work”, such a stitch is called a raised knit stitch or “convex” stitch.

Its designation on the diagrams:

Let's consider knitting a raised purl ("concave") double crochet. Yarn over

clasping the leg of the double crochet of the previous row,

grab the thread

and pull out a new loop.

We knit the loops in pairs in two steps, as when knitting a regular double crochet, i.e. grab the thread and knit 2 loops, grab the thread again and knit the remaining 2 loops.

When crocheting a double crochet “at work”, such a stitch is called a relief purl or “concave”.

Its designation on the diagrams:

Similarly, embossed single crochets, embossed half double crochets, etc. are knitted.

Concave single crochet stitch.

To make a concave double crochet, the crochet hook is not inserted into the base loop, but is passed in front of the double crochet of the previous row. Having grabbed the working thread, knit a single crochet.

Convex single crochet purl.

To make a convex double crochet, insert a double crochet hook behind the stitch of the previous row and knit a single crochet.

The relief of this pattern is formed by convex (relief) columns. For the sample, cast on the number of loops in the initial chain that is a multiple of 3, plus 2 loops for symmetry of the pattern.

1st row: double crochet, the first stitch is knitted in the 5th loop from the hook;

2nd row: 3 lifting loops, 1 raised double crochet before working, * 1 double crochet, 2 raised double crochets before working *, 1 double crochet in the chain loop of the previous row;

3rd row: 3 lifting loops, * 2 double crochets, 1 raised double crochet before work *, 2 single crochets.
