For them, it is imperative to use hypoallergenic yarn, soft fiber and attractive colors. Knitted with needles, they may be required not only for a knitted product. Many jeans shorts and other things are already decorated with knitted openwork elements, translucent and light, they look simply amazing.

Choose the number of knitting needles for yarn

For yarn it is important to choose the right tool number. Many masters already automatically select special numbers for their favorite balls . But for beginners it is more difficult, since too thin can spoil the thread during the knitting process. But too thick to make the canvas uneven.

Advice! A hint from the yarn manufacturer is present on every skein. It also indicates the weight of the skein, its length. As well as the number of hooks and knitting needles that are ideal for such a ball.

Types of patch pockets

There are actually so many types of these elements, since you can knit any figure with the needles and make an original element out of it. They can be just square . In the shape of a rectangle and a trapezoid, a rectangular trapezoid (bilateral) . To perform each of the figures, it is very important to master the addition of loops and their reduction . You also need to figure out how many loops you need to reduce and add on the side to get the required pocket angle.

How to knit patch pockets with needles?

First you need to decide on the size of the pockets, thread color and pattern. They can easily turn into a bright decor, especially on children's clothes.

Advice! Children are very fond of pockets in the form of some animals, for example, an “owl”.

Owl pocket with knitting needles

Very attractive pocket owl. It will require two patterns and only two buttons. It looks rather unusual.

To work, use:

  • yarn of two colors;
  • knitting needles for the thickness of the yarn;
  • two buttons for decoration.

Merki

Measure the necessary parameters for the future product - this is the length and height.

Sample

Using a two-color pattern, make a small square with knitting needles and calculate the density of knitting to it. Later, determine the number of loops for the first set and how many rows will be needed to complete the pocket. Take into account the fact that the elastic pocket has a small fold.

Two-tone pattern

Run a two-color version using two threads. It will be very convenient to knit it, since a thread of one color goes through two rows at once, and at the moment of returning to the front side, another thread also appears on this side, and there will be no unnecessary broaches inside out.

Start

After an unusual and attractive pattern, which in the work will personify the body of the bird, the head will later follow the second motive. This is the head of the bird and should be performed with a simple 1 * 1 rubber band .

Assembly

Sew a pocket along the lower border and on the side, but only to the middle. Then fix the upper corners with buttons. That's ready. The gum will stretch and therefore, on the upper border it will turn out a small assembly.

Knit pocket

in the shape of a trapezoid A nice and very convenient option for knitting needles can be made in the shape of a trapezoid. It will require only two canvas patterns. And both of them are so unusual.

To work, you will need:

  • yarn for a pocket from an average thickness of a thread;
  • knitting needles by the thickness of the thread.

Merki

Measure the necessary measurements for the trapezoid pocket . Measure the bottom line of the pocket. Further height and short side.

Sample

Knit a small square with knitting needles and use a knitting elastic pattern for it. This is a very unusual and rare pattern "beds" . Then calculate the density of the knitting and then the width in the loops and the height in rows.

Canvas

Start knitting to measure the bottom. Tie up to the midline and start making shortened rows. To do this, knit rows and do not use the last two loops. Then knit along the entire line the leaves of their scheme . It remains to complete 4 rows with an elastic band. That's ready.

Sew it on three sides, and leave the oblique side unstitched.

Pockets with a pattern of "honeycomb" and "pigtails"

To unfasten the pocket, the master begins work with the pattern that is required.

To work, use:

  • pechorka yarn;
  • knitting needles along the thickness of the thread;
  • 2 buttons.

Pocket size

Measure the necessary parameters for the future pocket. This is the required length and width .

Sample

Using the “honeycomb” pattern, knit a small fabric, and calculate the density of knitting to it. Then compare the measurements, and recount the loops for the product.

Honeycomb Pattern

Pocket

Dial the correct number of loops, combine the patterns of "honeycomb" and "pigtails" . Knit half the length. Next, change the pattern to an elastic band, and perform the second half with a 1 * 1 knitting needle with an elastic band .

To get a small assembly on top, the middle part of the elastic is best done with knitting needles 1 size smaller.

Pigtail Pattern

Assembly

Sew the finished novelty from the bottom and on the sides to the middle of the elastic with knitting needles. Then straighten the upper edges of the pocket and sew buttons on them. These original pockets can be made with knitting needles.

Volumetric pockets

Volumetric patch pockets with needles look very nice. Here, only the wrong and front loops are used.

Important! For a pocket, you can use knitting not only in the longitudinal direction. It will be very unusual to see against the background of longitudinal loops and even braids to see transverse braids or arana.

In fact, for the pocket, masters use not only a pattern from a common canvas, but also very unusual beautiful patterns. Even some use a contrasting thread to immediately highlight it . Creative inspiration to every master and new beautiful pockets.
