Peruvian knitting and crochet. Peruvian knitting technique

The style of Peruvian knitting, the so-called brumstick, came to us from Peru. The indigenous inhabitants of the Latin American state embodied their unique culture and national traditions in this technique. In their own wardrobe, there have always been a lot of woolen items that men and women could knit in this amazing country. In fact, Peruvian knitting can be considered a visiting card of Peru. One can not ignore the fact that the main trend of the style is knitting colorful openwork ornaments with the use of multi-colored yarn. You can also note the variety of different textures and methods of binding.

Definition of brumstick as a kind of Peruvian knitting

If to be short, then brumstick is such kind of knitting, at which loops of a yarn are thrown on any leveling object (a ruler, a round stick or a thick needle). Even the name of this kind of mating comes from broomstick (English), which means "stick from the broomstick". At the present time, the Peruvian knitting technique has become quite common. This is due to the fact that the products of such mating require a minimum of time and yarn for manufacturing, are less susceptible to deformation. Look great executed on this technology, various jackets, bags, scarves and so on.

Brumstick with knitting needles

One way brumstika can be called Peruvian knitting knitting. With the help of this technique, you can create many amazing things. For this it is necessary to have only a set of knitting needles and one thick needle, the so-called "stick". Patterns made in this technique have uniform loops, and the pattern turns out elegant and original.

Broomstick crocheted

Another kind involves Peruvian crochet. In this case, the work is done using a crochet hook and a base, which can be a ruler, a flat small plate or a round stick. A feature of this method is the higher speed of the work. The Peruvian crochet pattern of the scarf, for example, is somewhat faster than the spokes. Although, we can say that this is all very conditional, and depends, in the main, on the skills of possession in one way or another.

As mentioned earlier, there are a lot of ways to knit a "brumstick" pattern, and the hook is most often used for knitting, and as a supporting tool - a fork, a stick, a ruler, a fountain pen, a thick spoke - in general, each person individually chooses for himself Something convenient. Consider how to tie the pattern "brumstick" with knitting needles.

Description of the pattern

• The first and second row: all the loops dial facial.
• The third row: 1 loop front, then two nakida.
• The fourth row: the nakids are discarded, and out of every five long loops that eventually turned out, 5 loops are loosened (1 facial, nakid, 1 facial, nakid, 1 obverse).
• Repeat 1-4 rows.

The above-described kind of pattern etching is called the simplest. If you show a little imagination, you can embellish it as follows:

• Number of nakidov - then all the loops will be a little longer;
• The number of loops simultaneously tied (for example, three loops instead of five), then you will notice how the density of the product to be tied will change;
• The number of facial rows (or replace all facial rows for any design you like).

It is also possible to conduct various experiments with spokes and the thickness of the filaments. With the above pattern, you can easily knit hats, scarves, use it as a finish.

Top brumstikom

Consider how to tie a top 36-40 size. First, prepare the knitting needles at number 7.

Description of the pattern of top:

• The first and second rows: we unfasten all the facial loops.
• The third row: 1 facial, then two nakida.
• Fourth row: we fold the nakida, and from the long loops that eventually turned out, we unfasten 5 loops (1 face, nakid, 1 facial, nakid, 1 obverse).
• Fifth and sixth rows: we knit all the loops.
• Seventh row: 1 face loop, then two nakida.
• The eighth row: we fold the nakida, and from the five long loops that eventually turned out, we unfasten 5 loops (1 facial, nakid, 1 facial, nakid, 1 obverse).
• Ninth and tenth rows: all the loops are done by facial.
• Eleventh row: 1 facial, then two nakida.
• The twelfth row: we leave the eye loops, we fold the capes.
• From the thirteenth to the sixteenth row: we knit all the loops.
• Seventeenth row: 1 facial loop, then two nakida.
• Eighteenth row: we leave the eye loops, we fold the capes.
• We repeat from the 1st to the 18th series.

Calculate the density of knitting. To do this, multiply the 11 loops by 11 rows, which equals the product of 10 x 10 centimeters.

Consider how to knit the backrest / in front. To do this, on the spokes at number 7, we collect 45 loops and bind them with the main pattern. And after 62 rows (54 centimeters) from the beginning of knitting we knit 2 rows with simple facial loops. And through 64 rows (or 55 centimeters from the beginning of mating), all the loops are closed. Thus, we must get a rectangular cloth in the size of 40 by 55 centimeters. How to build? To do this, it is necessary to perform lateral (30 centimeters) and shoulder (7 centimeters) seams. To do this, you need to dial 58 face loops on the spokes of the seventh number, knit 3 rows with these loops and close them.

Brumstick as a type of leisure

Over time, when you really master the techniques and techniques of implementation, Peruvian knitting can bring and a good income. Now in a fashion various products in national style, qualitative, certainly. There is also a demand for bracelets, mittens and other "chips" of modern fashion trends.
