Here you can find free crochet patterns.Hemp leaf pouch」「Hemp leaf tote bag (vertical)」「Hemp leaf tote bag (horizontal)"I will explain the "hemp leaf pattern" knitted fabric used in "Part 2" using a different knitting method with images. For details on each item, including knitting patterns and how to make them, please see the recipe page.
If you knit three stitches at a time as shown in the pattern and the finished piece ends up being a little small, why not try this knitting method? It will be a little looser than when you knit the hemp leaf pattern exactly as in the pattern, and I don't think it will look that different.
The "hemp leaf" pattern is expressed in the knitting pattern above. What is being shown here is "three double crochets at a time," so you would normally knit a double crochet halfway and then pull out three stitches at a time to complete it.
On this page, we will explain how to knit it if you do not knit it all at once, but knit each double crochet separately.
①The photo above shows the knitting at the bottom of the hemp leaf pouch just finished. From the next row, we will start weaving the hemp leaf pattern.
② At the start of the first row of the hemp leaf pattern, knit 6 chain stitches (the same for all subsequent odd-numbered rows). Insert the needle into the third chain stitch and crochet one double crochet. The photo above shows the first double crochet completed.
③Next, insert the needle into the base of the rising stitch and knit one double crochet.
④ Leave a gap of 3 small stitches in the previous row and crochet one double crochet. This is what it looks like when knitted.
⑤ After the double crochet in ④, crochet three chain stitches, then insert the needle so that it covers the double crochet in ④ (the V-shaped part shown in the picture below) and crochet one double crochet.
⑥After knitting one double crochet in ⑤, it will look like the photo above.
⑦ Just like the double crochet in ④, crochet another double crochet in the previous row, three stitches apart.
⑧Next, knit 3 chain stitches.
⑨Knit a double crochet in the same position as shown in ⑤. After that, continue in the same way, knitting the first row all the way around.
⑩Proceed to the second row of the hemp leaf pattern. The photo above shows me just starting to knit the second row.
Start with 3 chain stitches (same for all subsequent even-numbered rows), insert the needle into the head of the double crochet in the previous row (see photo ⑪ for the position) and knit one double crochet.
⑪Please check the photo to see where to knit the second row of double crochets.
