From hole patterns you can conjure gossamer stoles and cloths whose weight is often less than a hundred grams for very thin wool. The lace patterns are also found in winter fashion. Rustic scarves with plaits and rows of lace patterns are just as popular as triangular scarves or hats with pattern stripes. The basic technique is quickly learned and the combination options are almost inexhaustible. Here is the guide for knitting the knitting pattern


Hole patterns are created by envelopes, which are knitted as a stitch in the back row. This extra stitch must be compensated by knitting two stitches together, either plain or covered. The knitting takes place before or after the envelope and can be a thicker wool next to the holes create a slightly plastic structure. In connection with hole patterns, the term "ajour pattern" keeps falling over and over again. This comes from the French and is translated as "breakthrough" or "broken", indicating the pattern of the lace pattern. Thus both terms describe the same type of knitting in both German and French.

Required materials:

  • Wool
  • Circular needle in the appropriate thickness
  • cable needle

Knitted holes can be combined in infinite variety. From simple rows of holes in the hem area, which enhance a smooth right knit, to elaborate leaf patterns that fill the entire knit width as in stoles and Dreiecktüchern. Lace patterns are easy to knit, but need a little bit of attention, as individual and over-knitted stitches and envelopes within a row change constantly. At first you will have to follow the knitting at every stitch, with some routine the pattern sets are quickly noticed and then these patterns are just fun.

In this description you will get to know simple hole pattern arrangements. In a further instruction you will be presented with compact and intricately knitted patterns of hole patterns.

envelope

For the lace pattern knitting, the envelope is the most important element. It is placed between two stitches and knitted in the back row as a newly formed stitch. This creates a fixed hole in the fabric.

Make some stitches with the circular needle.

Knit a few rows of plain right (always knit the stitches as they appear optically on the needle).

Knitt the edge stitch and some right stitches. Now an envelope - go over the thread with the right needle and come back with this again.

Now knit two stitches together by tucking into the following right stitch as if you wanted to knit them off to the right.

This stitch stays on the right needle without knitting, now knit the following stitch as normal. Then cover the unabashed stitch from the right needle over the last knitted stitch. This is called covered knitting.

You have now created an additional stitch through an envelope that has been made good by knitting two other stitches together. Now knit a few more right stitches, make another envelope and knit two stitches together again.

Apply the work and knit all the stitches as they appear. In this example all stitches and the envelopes are knitted on the left side.

Right knitting

While in the previous example you knitted over on the right, there is also the option to knit two stitches together only on the right side. To do this knit a few stitches to the right in a new row. Now knit two stitches BEFORE an envelope by tucking into the second stitch on the left needle and knitting the second and first stitch together on the right.

Then an envelope is worked and knitted the following stitches on the right.

Turn the work and in the back row knit all the stitches and the envelopes on the left.

The different combination of two stitches has a reason. In the picture you can see that stitches that have been knitted together move optically to the left. While the stitches knitted together only right have a tendency to the right. With a single row of holes, it does not matter if the stitches are covered or simply knitted together. In patterns, however, is determined exactly how the knitting takes place, because the hole pattern is characterized optically. Some examples will clarify that.

"Mäusezähnchen" for cutting design

A simple row of holes can be visually very impressive when used in the hem or cutout area. As cuffs (hem), it is mainly suitable for outerwear with a straight, inelastic waistband. Knitting is done in the following way:

With the required mesh size, the desired hem height is worked. Subsequently, a so-called "fracture series" is worked, which will later form the lower edge of the collar. For this, a row of holes is knitted by knitting two stitches after the edge stitch, simply on the right or on the right, followed by an envelope, again knitting two stitches in the desired manner, another turn and that to the end of the row.

Turn over the work, knit all stitches and envelopes to the left. Turn back and knit the same number of rows of stitches on the right as you worked from the stitch to the hole pattern row.
Now the stop edge is connected to the stitches on the needle, creating a double cuff. For this, the stop stitches are taken on an auxiliary needle.

Subsequently, a stitch of the auxiliary needle is always knitted together with a stitch of the circular needle.

In this way, the lower edge of the waistband is connected to the end row of the hem, the cuff is now double-laid and the row of holes in the middle now forms a striking end row.

With a so-called open stop this seam variant is knitted professionally by starting with a contrasting color. After a few rows, switch to normal wool and knit the cuff as described above. If you want to take the lower edge on the auxiliary needle, start in the first row after the contrasting color. Different wool colors are helpful to catch the right thread loops. Take the mesh bows on the auxiliary needle, which can be seen above the contrasting wool.

Then knit a stitch of both needles together again, work a piece of the normal knit and then cut off the contrasting wool. This process is easier when knitting a row with a nylon thread after the contrasting wool. This thread can in fact be pulled out after completion of the knitted part due to the smooth material and the contrast wool falls off.

In the same way cutouts can be worked on pullovers and tops.

Knit simple lace pattern

If the hole patterns are more expensive, an accurate implementation of the knitting is important. In addition, the normal and overdrawn decreases must be placed in the right places. Here is a simple example:

Hit 22 stitches plus two edge stitches. Knit a few rows on the right side (always knit the stitches as they appear).

Then the first and second rows of the pattern are knit smooth right.

In the third row you start to the edge stitch with a stitch on the right, it follows an envelope and a covered decrease (one stitch as for right knit take off, knit the following stitch on the right, cover the previously lifted stitch over the knitted stitch). Knit nine stitches on the right, knit two stitches on the right, one wrap, one stitch on the right, one wrap, knit two stitches together and knit off the remaining stitches to the right.

In the back row knit all the stitches and the envelopes to the left.

The fifth row begins with two right stitches, then an envelope follows, two stitches are now knitted over, seven stitches on the right, two stitches on the right, one cover, three stitches on the right, one cover, two stitches on the right side and the remaining stitches on the right work.

In the back row knit all the stitches and the envelopes to the left.

Start in row seven with three stitches on the right side, one turn-up, two stitches knit together, five stitches on the right, two stitches on the right side, one cover, five stitches on the right, one turn-up, two stitches on the right side and the remaining stitches on the right side.

Start in row nine with four stitches to the right. Knit one envelope, knit two stitches, knit three right stitches, two stitches to the right, one wrap, seven stitches on the right, one wrap, knit two stitches on the right and knit off the remaining stitches to the right.

In the back row everything works left.

Now you can clearly see how the hole pattern strips form a line. And how the knitted stitches give the direction of the holes.

In the eleventh row, knit five right stitches, one turn, two stitches, one stitch to the right, two stitches to the right, one wrap, nine stitches to the right, one wrap, two stitches on the right, knit together and the other stitches to the right.

Knit the back row left again.

In the thirteenth row, the contiguous rows of holes connect and you have to knit three stitches together.

Thirteenth row: Six stitches on the right side, one turn-up, three stitches on the right (stitch in the third stitch on the left needle, then the second and the first and pull the thread through all three stitches simultaneously). Then another envelope, eleven stitches on the right, one envelope and another three stitches together.

This creates a simple pattern of holes, where you can see very clearly why the knitting must be normal right or coated.

Examples of hole patterns

scarf

The following picture shows a shawl with a linear hole pattern. The rows of holes change direction over several rows, and the knitting must be done in a straight and covered manner.

Shawl with hole pattern

Arm warmers with perforated pattern stripes

In these arm warmers, a double perforated strip was worked over the entire length. At the upper waistband, the possibility of pulling a ribbon through a pattern of perforations was created.

Arm warmers with lace pattern

Scarf with lace pattern

This blue scarf was knitted with a serrated pattern.

Hole sampler

Hole to hole in floral form - a small pattern that repeatedly shows a great effect.

Simple hole pattern

Only five small holes form this pattern, which is suitable for stoles, scarves or tops.

Tip: When making knitting, pay attention to the illustrations of the models. In some knitwear or knitting books, stitch symbols for the back rows are not listed in the manner in which the stitches are to be knit, but are listed as they appear visually on the surface of the knit when the back row has been finished. For such descriptions, you must then knit the indicated symbols in opposite directions.
