The description and the scheme of the pattern "Scales" crochet: volumetric and openwork variants

Needlework is an entertaining process. Knitting with crochet or knitting needles allows you to vary your wardrobe. The same simple drawing can be used in different situations. For example, the pattern of the "scales" pattern (crochet) is suitable for a variety of products.

Crocodile Skin Pattern

The canvas is quite dense and embossed. Fans of unusual things will appreciate it. To begin with, you will need to dial a string of air loops. Their number should be a multiple of six plus one more loop.

A detailed diagram of the pattern "Scales" (crocheted) is shown in the figure. Each odd number in it is the basis for a volumetric even, in which the scales themselves are tied. Therefore, you must be extremely attentive. At least until it becomes clear the principle on which all work is built.

The first row, from which the scheme of the pattern "Scales" begins (crochet), is knitted like this:

• Column with a crochet (below it will be designated as a column of CH) in the 4th loop from the hook;
• Two air;
• Two columns of CH in one base from the seventh loop of the initial chain;
• Continue to alternate air and CB columns in every third loop to the end of the row.

All odd numbers will be considered to be wrong. Even - facial.

Scheme pattern "Scales" (crochet) continues the second row. It starts with three air loops. Then comes the knitting:

• On the right column of the pair of the previous row, you must immediately link the 4 columns of the CH;
• air loop;
• 4 columns of CH on the second of this pair;
• air loop;
• Repeat work on each odd pair of columns of the previous row (scales knit through one);
• In the last such pair it is necessary to connect the connecting column.

The crochet pattern for the "Scale" pattern continues with the third row. It is performed exactly as the first, but you do not have to forget to make a lift out of three air loops. The same applies to all other odd numbers.

The fourth series of work is similar to the second. Only every even pair of columns must be tied up. And in the first it is necessary to make a connecting post. Then all the work is repeated from the first row.

Which products use this pattern?

Wherever the thickness of the finished product is important. For example, in the manufacture of decorative pillowcases on a sofa cushion or a warm blanket. But this is not the only possible options. A warm jacket for the winter, a voluminous cap or beret, unusual mittens, a bag. This list can be continued almost endlessly.

And if you take a yarn thinner, you will get an extraordinary beauty shawl. She only needs to knit a little differently. In this case, the "Scale Pattern" scheme (crochet) is executed from the corner, and gradually the fabric expands from both sides.

There are needlewomen who have adapted such a canvas to use for knitting flower pots for potted plants. The main thing is not to limit your imagination.

Openwork pattern "Scales"

The proposed description will effectively look, if each even number is knit with a contrasting dark tint. Then the picture really will resemble scales.

So, we begin crocheting. The pattern of "scales" (diagram and description) starts with a set of chains. And the number of loops should be divided into eight. In the first row, you need to make one loop for lifting. In the first, connect the connecting bar. In the fifth loop perform nine columns of CH. In the ninth - connecting (from this moment the picture is repeated, then again there will be nine columns of CH). Complete the series on the next connecting column in the last loop of the chain.

The second row: with a lifting loop and a column of CH from the lifting base; Two air; The connecting column in the fifth of the nine connected in the previous row; Two air; In the connecting column between the two flakes of the previous row make two columns of CH, separated by one air; Two air and connecting to the top of the fifth. Continue this pattern to the end of the series, which must be completed with two HV columns in the last loop.

Scheme pattern "scales" (crochet) continues the third series:

• Three lifting loops, 4 columns of CH in the bottom of the lifting chain;
• The connecting column in the same previous row (located at the top of the scales);
• 9 columns of CH in the arch from one air loop, obtained in the previous row;
• Continue such a drawing to the end.

The fourth row repeats the pattern of the second. Only here it is not necessary to do lifting, but to start from the moment when the connecting column is tied to the top of the scales.

Then knitting continues from the moment the first row was described. But this is not the only pattern that resembles scales. There are many similar motives. Some of them are shown in the figure.

Where can you use such an openwork motive?

Naturally, for a light shawl and tunic for the summer. But you can go further and present it on the kitchen curtains. Or decorate them with a festive tablecloth. In all these cases, the "Scale Pattern" scheme (crochet) can logically fit into the product.

If you want to make an air plaid of openwork squares, then one of the patterns with scales can be used here. And, as in the usual version, when knitting goes from the bottom up. Or in technology work from the center. Then you need to calculate the sides of the square and arrange its angles.
