Walking harness

Known on the Internet is the crocheting of the edge of the product by the method of the crab step, used to fix the shape of the thing. At the base of knitting are single crochet posts made in the opposite direction – from left to right. During knitting, the thread crosses in a special way and the pattern looks voluminous, beautiful, at the same time fixes the shape and does not allow the fabric to stretch. It is used for children’s sweaters, scarves, shawls for adults.

To do this, you need to tie the sides with crochets around the entire perimeter. After this, the thing does not need to be turned over, and on the same side, the tool should be inserted into the loop to the right of it, pulled out and tied to the air lifting element. Then again you need to insert the hook into the right loop, grab the thread and knit 2 loops together. Repeat until the end until the whole thing is tied.

How to crochet an edge using the picot technique

Not only clothing but also shoes can be crocheted using the picot technique. She looks airy and playful due to her small size. Pico or pique is a chain of several air loops, closed in a ring. There are 2 types of this pattern:

• C + digit (C3, C4) – a chain of a certain number of VP;
• BN, RLS – column without throwing.

1. All loops fit BN.
2. 3 GP, repeat from CH, C2, CH, C7, loop skipping. To knit angle C13, the last element is connected to the first CH.
3. Repeat: BN knit in C2, C4, BN in the middle of C7, C4. In the corners in the middle of Ts13 2 BN are knitted, between them 3 Ts5.
4. Similar to the second.
5. Similar to the third, in the corners of 3 Ts6.
6. Similar to the second, in the corners of Ts15.
7. The same as the third, in the corners of 3 Ts7.
