In any business, the key to success is how well you master the basics of skill. Moreover, if this business is related to creativity. Craftswomen who want to learn how to knit must first master the technique of creating basic parts. Below we will present step by step description knitting of columns for beginners.
Basic rules
The element can be knitted using the following methods:
- for two lobules of the lower loop;
- for the near (left);
- behind the far (right).
Keep in mind that in all basic techniques, each of the stitches of the initial row is knitted behind the back wall of the air loop. Further, the loops are connected by two walls of the elements of the previous row, and the instrument is introduced from the front side of the composition. The only exceptions are schemes different types mating, where it is clearly indicated the need to use a different technique.
Important! The number of columns in all cases should be the same. If you created 20-25 in the initial row, you need to implement exactly the same amount in the final row. This rule does not apply unless in canvases where you reduce the drawing.
And now let's move on directly to what types of knitting of columns exist.
Connecting post
First, we tie the first row with a chain of air loops. We introduce the hook behind the back wall of the second loop from it.
At the end of the row, we tie one loop, creating a rise. Turn the composition over and run the tool behind the back wall of the starting loop of the row, which was done before. This is how we form the starting loop for the next row. We act in a similar way throughout the further part of the composition.
Crochet half-column
We connect the starting row with a chain of air loops. We introduce the tool behind the back wall of the second air loop from it. We circle the thread around the hook and thread it through the loop.
It is necessary so that there are 2 loops on the instrument. Circling the thread around the hook, we pull it through both, connecting them together.
Next, create half-columns in all air loops until we reach the end of the row. Here we use one loop for lifting, turn the product over and insert a hook under the threads of one of the loops of the previous section. As a result, we get the half-column we need.
Half double crochet
We form the first row with a chain of air loops. We circle the thread around the tool and move the hook behind the back wall of the third loop from it.
Once again we loop and pull the thread through the loop, resulting in 3 loops. We connect them to each other, for this we again circle the thread around the hook. In the same way, we proceed further, knitting a half-column with a crochet of all air loops.
Completing the row, we combine 2 such loops in order to form a rise. Turn the material over and create the first half-double crochet from the starting loop of the row in front of it. In the next rows, we act in the same way.
Tip: If you have difficulties already at the initial stage of training, we recommend visiting master classes on knitting columns, where professionals will clearly demonstrate the whole process. Also look out for themed videos that are plentiful on the web.
Column with crochet
Perhaps the most popular of all types of posts. It does not take much time, and the output element is twice as high as the single crochet option. Ideal, how best to knit columns for beginners.
Standard - we start with a chain of air loops. It is important that the number of the latter corresponds to the number of double crochets; 3 loops for lifting must be taken into account separately.
Having created a chain, we throw it over the tool, introducing this hook into the loop that is located fourth from it. When the thread is captured, we knit 3 loops on the hook in pairs in 2 approaches, that is, first two, and after (having made a new capture of the thread) - two more.
Column with two crochets
Its main advantage is the large loop height. Often, this type of column is used to create spacious openwork products.
Here it is important for us to leave 4 lifting loops, the rest of the number of air elements should correspond to the number of posts.
We make 2 yarns on the hook, place the hook in the fifth loop from it, cling to the thread and form a new loop. As a result, we have on this moment 4 loops. After grabbing the thread, we knit 4 loops on the hook, in pairs, in 3 sets. We complete the row by creating 4 air loops and, having changed the position of the product, proceed to the next knitting stage. 
In addition to the variations described, there are many more column knitting techniques. The most popular among them are: a column with three crochets, lush and embossed options.

8 ways to crochet and single crochet stitches
There are 8 ways to crochet and single crochet stitches (fig. 9, seamy side view). You can change the way the hook is inserted, and then each time the pattern will change. The classic way is when the hook is inserted under two strands of the base loop (Fig. 10, a). All other methods are used less often and are necessarily specified in the descriptions of the patterns:
under the front thread (Fig. 10, b), under the back (Fig. 10, c), in the middle above or below the lintel (Fig. 10, d), in front of the leg (Fig. 10, e), behind the leg (Fig. 10, e), under the jumper (Fig. 10, g), under the far part of the lintel , picking up one of its threads (Fig. 10, h).
Three ways to knit posts from a chain
When crocheting, the columns from the initial chain are knitted in three ways. And they will all be correct.
1. By inserting the hook under the upper thread of the air loop
2. By inserting the hook under the two strands of the air loop: top and middle. The most common way.
Gives the tidiest edge.
3. By inserting the hook under the middle thread of the air loop
Often beginners in crocheting cannot determine the boundaries of the loop, therefore, it happens that they either skip the loops, or knit two stitches in one loop where only one stitch is needed. How to solve the problem?
As you pick up a row of posts, pay attention to the part of the pigtail that looks like a vertical jumper. She is the border between the loops:
Column without crochet, knitted in two steps
Let us examine new method crochet - knitting with single crochet, knitted in two steps. The fact is that when knitting with ordinary single crochets, a very tight knit is obtained, which is good for things such as coats, rugs, bags, hats, pillowcases, in general, those products that should be dense. But, for example, if we need to knit a scarf, then it is better to use single crochet for this, knitted in two steps. In this case, the knit will also be dense, but much softer.
These posts are slightly taller than regular single crochets. They are indicated on the diagram with the following icon:
A two in the upper right and means that you need to knit a column in two steps. So, the knitting technique:
We knit a chain of air loops. In the first row of knitting, we insert the hook into the 4th loop (not in the 3rd, as when knitting ordinary single crochet stitches). Crochet the thread and pull it into the loop of the chain:
Single crochet on an air loop
In order to learn how to knit an element such as a single crochet, which is just part of the overall pattern of patterns, you will need: yarn and a crochet hook, as well as a little patience.
- To begin with, you must master the lessons on how to hold the hook correctly, set the first loop and knit a chain of air loops, we have all this on our website.
- After you have knitted a chain of stitches. We insert the hook into the second air loop from the hook, we sew the yarn over the hook, laying the thread so that it passes around the hook. Next, we stretch the working thread through the loop.
- On the hook, two loops turned out, we again perform the yarn over and pull it through both loops.
- The single crochet is complete, now insert the hook into the next chain loop and repeat the second and third points.
- Having reached the end of the row, tie an air lifting loop (it is knitted, like a chain of air loops), that is, simply by performing a yarn over the hook and pulling it through the loop.
- Turn the work, insert the hook into the first loop of the previous row and tie a single crochet.
- Having tied the double crochet to the end of the row, repeat steps four and five until the product reaches the required height.
End of work
After you have tied required amount rows, cut the thread, pull it through the last loop and pull it tight.
This is necessary to secure the thread so that in the future the product does not deform and loops do not open.
Column without crochet for the front wall
- Insert the hook into the loop of the previous row so that the thread is on the hook that forms the front wall of the loop.
- Yarn over by wrapping the thread around the crochet hook and pulling it through the loop.
- Sew the yarn over again and pull the thread through both loops on the crochet hook.
Single crochet behind the back wall
- Insert the hook into the nearest loop of the previous row so that the thread on the hook is the thread that forms the back wall of this loop.
- Run the yarn over the crochet so that the thread bends around the hook and pull the thread through the loop on the hook.
- make a yarn over and pull it through the two loops on the hook.

Crochet is a whole world of needlework with its own rules and characteristic features, having entered into which it is already impossible to go back. This craft rewards craftswomen with beautiful and original things, you just have to learn its basics - knitting of columns.
In order to feel confident in the future, beginners need to learn how to crochet the simplest elements, thanks to which it becomes possible to create canvases of any complexity with a variety of patterns.
A master class for beginners on crocheting posts
Any crocheted pattern, from the simplest to lush and delicate, is created by combining air loops and several types of columns. If you learn to knit them perfectly, you can safely start crocheting things of any complexity.
What are the main types of crocheted crochet posts?
- Columns without a crochet;
- Columns with a crochet;
- Semi-columns;
- Columns with two crochets;
- Embossed columns;
- Lush columns.
Without crochet
This type is considered one of the most used methods of knitting posts - which means it is a basic skill that all craftswomen need. The method of crocheting single crochet posts allows you to get a dense fabric of low posts, which is not highly elastic.
This knitting technique offers several options for knitting loops: behind the front wall of the hinge, behind the back wall and behind both walls. Depending on this, the pattern on the canvas will also differ. Often knitting single crochet involves knitting on both sides of the loop(in other words, for both half-loops of the upper braid) - this is the option that is often assumed in all knitting patterns. Considerhow to crochet a single crochet on the example of a step-by-step scheme:
We knit a chain of 20 air loops plus 1 lifting loop. We knit the first column into the second air loop from the hook. We insert the hook under the two walls of the loop, pick up the thread and pull it through the loop: two loops are formed on the hook (photo 1). Now we pick up the thread again and pull it through both loops. One loop remains on the hook. We knitted a single crochet (photo 2).
Next, we knit the first row of columns, but we grab the air loop by the front wall - the initial row is more convenient to knit this way (photo 3). We turn the work over, we knit one lifting loop, and then a row of columns, picking up the loops for both walls.
In order for the edge of the fabric to turn out to be even, it is important to correctly knit the first and last loops of the row. Often, especially if they knit thin threads, skip the first loop of the row and knit the columns of the next row immediately into the second loop, or forget to knit the last loop of the glad. Be careful and count the columns as you study. You should always have 20 posts (lifting air loops are not included in this number) (photo 4).
Concerning two other ways to knit single crochet, this is done as follows:
Fig. 1: Gripping the front of the hinge. Fig. 2: picking up the back of the hinge. In any of the selected methods for a set of single crochets, the first column in a row is always knitted by both walls of the loop so that the edge turns out to be even and dense enough.
Half-column
Knitting with half-columns or connecting posts is not so common, since the fabric from these loops turns out to be very dense and tough. The half-columns are very low. Often, they connect fragments of lace sewing, move from one row to another when knitting in a circle, they also fix and process the edges of the fabric at the final stage of knitting.
There are two ways to knit with a half-column:
- crochet half-column with crochet - also called a strong column;
- half-column without crochet - that is, connecting.
Consider first, how to crochet a half-column with a crochet.
Let's start by knitting a chain of air loops. The number of air loops should be equal to the number of double crochets plus 2 lifting loops. When the chain is ready (photo 1), we make a crochet on the hook (photo 2),
we insert the hook into the third loop of the chain from the hook (2 lifting loops correspond to a half-column with a crochet), grab the thread (photo 1) and pull out a new loop (now we have three loops on the hook) (photo 2),
grab the thread again (photo 1) and knit 3 loops on the hook in one go. It turned out half double crochet(photo 2).
We continue to knit a row of half double crochets. At the end of the row we knit 2 lifting air loops (these loops are the first half-column of the next row), turn our product over and continue knitting (photo 1). This is how the finished half-double crochet looks like (photo 2).
Now let's find out how to crochet single crochet or connecting column.
It is difficult to knit half-columns starting with a chain of air loops, so cast on 20 air loops plus 1 lifting loop and knit several rows with single crochet for both walls of the loop. Next, we will tie several rows of connecting posts.
Lift loop in this case not required. Therefore, having knitted a row of single crochet stitches, turn the work over and immediately knit a half-crochet into the first loop. We insert the hook under both walls of the loop, pick up the thread and pull it through the loop and then immediately into the loop that is on the hook.
The half-column is knitted in one step - and so on until the end of the row. We turn the work over, knit the next row in the same way. To knit easier, do not tighten the loops, make them wide enough, especially for the first and last loops of the row.
With crochet
The double crochet is considered one of the most commonly used elements among all types of columns. It turns out to knit quite quickly, and the column itself turns out to be twice as high as the single crochet.
So let's consider step by step instructions how to crochet a double crochet.
We knit a chain of air loops. The number of air loops should be equal to the number of double crochets plus 3 lifting loops. When our chain is ready, we make a crochet on the hook (photo 1), insert the hook into the fourth loop of the chain from the hook (3 lifting loops correspond to the double crochet), grab the thread (photo 2) and pull out a new loop, we now have 3 loops on the hook (photo 3) grab the thread (photo 4) and knit 3 loops on the hook in pairs in 2 steps, i.e. first we knit 2 loops (we will have 2 loops on the hook) (photo 5) then grab the thread again (photo 6) and knit 2 more loops. So we got it double crochet (photo 7)... We continue to knit a row of double crochets (photo 8). At the end of the row, we will tie 3 lifting air loops (they will be the first column for the next row), turn our product over and continue knitting (photo 9).
With two yarns
A double crochet post allows you to achieve a very high buttonhole. This type of posts is used to obtain openwork free canvases.
After the chain of air loops, the number of which should be equal to the number of double crochets plus 4 loops for lifting, we make two crochets on the hook (photo 1), insert the hook into the fifth loop of the chain from the hook (4 lifting loops correspond to a column with two crochets), grab the thread (photo 2) and pull out a new loop, we now have 4 loops on the hook (photo 3). We grab the thread (photo 4) and knit 4 loops on the hook in pairs in 3 steps, i.e. first we knit 2 loops (we will have 3 loops on the hook) (photo 5) again grab the thread (photo 6).
and we knit 2 more loops (we will have 2 loops on the hook) (photo 7), again grab the thread (photo 8) and knit the remaining 2 loops. We have tied a column with 2 yarns (photo 9). We continue to knit a row of double crochet stitches (photo 10). At the end of the row we will knit 4 lifting air loops, turn our product over and continue knitting.
Raised
Highly beautiful view knitted columns, which allow you to achieve a convex texture of the canvas - a crocheted embossed column with a crochet. Ornaments and patterns are knitted with similar columns. And although the embossed column resembles a simple double crochet in execution, it has its own characteristic features... It differs in the way it is attached to the posts of the previous row: the embossed column is not knitted by the loops of the previous row, the hook is inserted under the columns themselves... In addition, it is important to remember that embossed columns they begin to knit only after they have made at least one row of double crochets or a simple column.
There are two types of embossed posts:
- embossed front columns in front of work - "Convex";
- embossed purl, at work - "Concave".
How do they differ and how to crochet them - consider the step-by-step methods of knitting in photo lessons.
Convex embossed columns
We knit two rows simple posts with a crochet. Then we make a crochet on the hook (photo 1), insert the hook from the front side from right to left, under the double crochet of the previous row (photo 2), grab the thread (photo 3), and pull out a new loop (there will be three loops on the hook) (photo 4 ), then we knit like a regular double crochet, knitting the loops in pairs in two steps, i.e. grab the thread and knit two loops, grab the thread again and knit the two remaining loops (photo 5). With the method of knitting a column with a crochet "before work", such a column is called embossed facial or "convex".
Concave relief pillars
We make a crochet (photo 1), then we introduce the hook from the wrong side from right to left (photo 2), grasping the leg of the double crochet of the previous row (photo 3), grab the thread (photo 4) and pull out a new loop (photo 5). We knit the loops in pairs in two steps, as when knitting a regular double crochet, i.e. grab the thread and knit 2 loops, grab the thread again and knit the remaining 2 loops (photo 6). With the method of knitting a column with a crochet "at work", such a column is called embossed purl or "concave". Similarly, knit embossed single crochet, embossed half crochet, etc.
Lush
Beginner needlewomen definitely need to learn how to crochet a lush column. This type of posts allows you to achieve an unusually beautiful openwork embossed pattern, which is also known as "puffs". In addition, the final version is similar to the "bump" pattern. Lush columns are knitted with half-columns with a crochet, and the more half-columns with a crochet are tied in one loop, the more magnificent the column. To knit curvy columns follows from light and soft yarn, which will take much more for this pattern than for other types of posts.
According to our scheme, we collect a chain of air loops, make a yarn (photo 1), insert a hook at 6 from the hook a loop of the chain and pull out a long loop (there are now 3 loops on the hook) (photo 2), make a yarn over again (photo 3), insert the hook into the same base loop, grab the thread and pull out another long loop (we have 5 loops on the hook) (photo 4), make the yarn over again (photo 5), insert the hook into the same base loop, grab the thread and pull out another one a long loop (there are now 7 loops on the hook) (photo 6). Next, we grab the thread (photo 7) and knit all the loops on the hook in one go (photo 8). The result is a magnificent column. Next, tie 2 vp. (according to the scheme) and knit lush columns in the same way (photo 9).
Curvy bollards with closed top
Fig. 1 - curvy columns with an open top. Fig. 2 - curvy columns with a closed top. Sometimes lush columns are knitted with a closed top. They are knitted in the same way, only they finish them in 2 steps: we knit the same half-columns with a crochet, pulling out long loops, then grab the thread (photo 1) and knit all the loops, except for the first working loop (2 loops remain on the hook) (photo 2), grab the thread again and knit the two remaining loops (photo 3), then knit 2 vp. and knit lush columns in the same way (photo 4).
Video tutorial
Video tutorials will help beginners to fasten a master class on crocheting columns.
Crochet crochet video
Unfinished columns with one, two or more crochets can significantly diversify the pattern. Very often they need to be bundled together to create a beautiful group of posts. If you finish the details of the product with unfinished columns, then you can connect them together with a decorative stitch "loop in loop", as when knitting.
You will need
- - yarn of medium thickness;
- - hook on the thickness of the yarn;
- - additional thread;
- - 2 hooks connected by a fishing line.
Instructions
Link a sample. For training, make a chain of an arbitrary number of air loops. Unfinished double crochets can also be an element round motive but first try linking with them straight web... Make 2 air loops on the rise.
Place the thread on the crochet as you would for regular crochet stitches. Insert the hook into the desired loop of the chain. Bring the hook under the working thread, grab it and pull it out. On the hook, you should have three loops - the one you just pulled, the yarn over, and the one that was already on the hook.
Grab the working thread again and pull it through the loop pulled in from the chain stitch or column of the previous row and yarn over. To knit a regular crochet, you would need to knit the two stitches on the hook together. Don't do that now, leave both. Similarly, knit the next unfinished double crochet.
Columns with two, three or more crochets fit in much the same way. Knit the first techniques in the same way as for regular posts, but do not finish and leave 2 loops on the hook. After completing the next unfinished column, 3 loops should form, and so on.
In the patterns in the middle of the part, such columns are rarely made out of combination with other elements. As a rule, they need to be connected together to form a bundle. Tie in the described way several unfinished stitches with one or more crochets. After knitting the last one, grab the working thread and pull it through all the loops except the last one, that is, the one that was already before knitting the first column. You have 2 loops. Tie them together.
There may be other combinations of double crochet groups. This is usually indicated in the description of the figure. For example, knit 5 of these stitches. Then grab the thread, pull it through the first 3 stitches. Turn the work over, tie a chain of several air loops. Pass the hook through all the unfinished posts and pull the loop through them. Tie it together with the end loop. air chain... In general, the ability to knit different variants columns allows any craftswoman to come up with more and more new
