Zigzag Pattern for Plaid
Stripes plaid knit gradually, without requiring stapling. Each strip can be knitted from different yarns, thereby creating a special pattern. Craftswomen with experience use the remnants of yarn other works.
Zigzag Pattern
Zigzag knitting needles knitted from 10 loops
Type 10 loops on the knitting needles, knit ten rows, always removing one loop from the left and one from the right. Repeat this step, but adding to the left, and decreasing, to the right. So you get an uneven strip, like a zipper. Zigzags themselves can go diagonally or vertically (depending on your preferences). Periodically count the number of loops on the needles. There must always be the same number (in our case 10).

Reaching the desired length, close the loop nine loops, one should remain on the needle. Turn over the future masterpiece by 180 degrees and similarly knit the next zigzag, holding together with the previous one.

Having studied the new element, proceed to knitting the rug with needles.
Dial 112 loops. Then tie 4 rows using a “pearl” pattern, then proceed to the leaves motif, leaving 4 knots on each side.
Pattern of knitting pattern “Leaves”
Knitting "leaves", you will need to divide the remaining canvas into 7 equal sections of 16 loops (for convenience, use pins).
1 row: 2 vmes. people. Left, 8 faces., 1 nakid, 4 faces., 2 in a month. people. to the right;
2 row: 2 vmes. people. To the left, 3 faces., 1 nakid, 3 faces., 8 n. Cross over to the right;
3 row: 2 vmes. people. Left, 6 faces., 1 nakid, 4 faces., 1 nakid, 2 faces., 2 in a month. people. to the right;
4 row: 2 vmes. people. Left, 1 face, 1 nakid, 6 faces., 1 nakid, 5 faces, 2 in. people. to the right.
