You should end up with a figure that resembles a pretzel cookie in shape. Now thread your knitting needle through the first loop of the pretzel. Then pull the yarn tightly on the working needle.
Now, using a crochet hook, knit an ordinary chain of air loops. All subsequent rows of your knitting should be knitted with a chain of air loops. However, the working hook should be threaded through the bottom row of knitting.

The architectural monuments of Moscow are what the city can rightfully be proud of, and what interests numerous tourists who come to the capital of Russia. Over the centuries during which the architectural appearance of Moscow was formed, many buildings appeared, valuable both due to the skill of architects and due to their venerable age.
The most famous and ancient architectural monument of Moscow is the Kremlin. The Kremlin was an eyewitness to the birth, growth and formation of Moscow, experienced with it the years of prosperity and decline. The first Kremlin walls grew in the 12th century, they were wooden, and covered a much smaller area than the territory of the current Kremlin. On the territory of the Kremlin there are ancient cathedrals, which long years served as a stronghold and a symbol of faith and unity of the Russian people, as well as the buildings of the Arsenal, the Senate and many other buildings that are architectural monuments.
Not far from the Kremlin is the recently restored Gostiny Dvor - another historical and architectural monument of Moscow. Unfortunately, looking at the current Gostiny Dvor one can hardly imagine how it looked in the past, but, nevertheless, it has been preserved for posterity, and many tourists can now not only see this landmark of Moscow, but also in full accordance with function Gostiny Dvor, make the necessary purchases here.
The old center of Moscow is unusually rich in architectural sights, although in recent years their number has significantly decreased. In order to see the unofficial face of Moscow, and to get to know the architectural monuments of the Russian capital. It is enough to take a few walks along the old streets of the city. For example, very interesting old buildings that have the status architectural monuments, are located along the streets that make up the Boulevard Ring of Moscow. There are mainly historical buildings built in the 18th and 19th centuries, but sometimes there are houses of the 17th century, as well as buildings of the early 20th century, declared monuments of history and architecture. Since Moscow, from the moment of its foundation, played an important role in the life of the Russian state, and for the most part was the capital of Russia, the spiritual, secular, cultural, financial and political activity. In Moscow there were royalty and their entourage, the color of the aristocracy, the highest clergy, the most famous writers, artists, musicians, and this could not but be reflected in the architectural appearance of the city. Many buildings that housed various institutions, as well as residential houses and mansions where prominent personalities of the past lived, are now under state protection and are architectural monuments.
The list of architectural monuments of Moscow is very large. These include buildings Bolshoi Theater, Central Department Store, Moscow City Department of Internal Affairs. Everyone has their own history, their own past. On Barrikadnaya Street stands beautiful house, which is decorated with a portico and columns. From 1805 to 1812, this building housed the Alexander Institute, where young girls were brought up. After the institute, the Widow's House began to function here, in which the widows of those husbands who had served in the military or civil service for at least 10 years or were killed in battles entered. It's just very short description a small part of the architectural monuments of Moscow, details of which can be found in this section.
Many talented architects took part in shaping the architectural appearance of Moscow. These are the masters of the ancient Russian state and those who have been creating since the 17th century: V.I. Bazhenov, O.I. Bove, M.F. Kazakov, A.V., Kuznetsov, B.M. Iofan, and many other architects.

Scheme of architectural monuments of the center of Moscow
Accompanying text for the scheme
Among Russian cities, Moscow occupies a special place, both in terms of the significance of its historical path, and in terms of the unique originality of its architectural appearance. Having inherited a high artistic culture Ancient Rus', it became the focus of the best creative forces of the people. Monuments of Moscow architecture reflected various stages of the city's history and entered the golden fund of world architecture.
In Moscow, the foundations were laid not only for all-Russian statehood, but also for an all-Russian artistic culture, which absorbed all the best that had been achieved in other cities in the era of feudal fragmentation. Expressing the leading ideas of their time by means of architecture, Moscow architects introduced an amazing variety into the main types of structures characteristic of a particular era.
The core of the Kremlin ensemble - historical and composition center cities - took shape at a time when Moscow became the capital of the Russian centralized state (in the XV-XVII centuries). Cathedral Square and the fortifications of the Kremlin, created by the Russians and by Italian masters and reflecting the idea of the greatness and power of the young state, amazed contemporaries with their scale and monumentality.
In the XVI century. was created new type constructions-triumphal pillar-shaped compositions, the so-called memorial churches, and among them a masterpiece of Russian architecture - the Pokrovsky Cathedral (St. Basil's Cathedral).
In the settlements and settlements surrounding the Kremlin, stone church and residential buildings appeared at that time, small in size, but interesting in their architectural forms. Widely deployed in the XVI century. and fortification: in the 30s, walls were built around the settlement (Kitai-gorod), in the 80-90s - around white city and at the beginning of the 17th century Moscow received its last defensive belt - the Earthen Wall with oak walls and towers (Earth City). In addition, for centuries powerful fortresses - monasteries - were built around Moscow.
The Polish-Swedish intervention caused a temporary decline in construction in Moscow, but from the middle of the 17th century. starts new stage in the development of Moscow architecture.
Numerous popular uprisings shook the foundations of the official ideology and contributed to the penetration into architecture folk motives. Hence - the wealth of decorative decoration, colorful, picturesque composition in the buildings of that time. By the end of the XVII century. the desire for symmetry and balance is growing, a new type of tiered church buildings appears ("an octagon on a quadrangle"). This new period in architecture was called "Moscow" or "Naryshkin baroque".
The reforms of Peter the Great and the victory in the Great Northern War made Russia one of the leading European powers. Without breaking with national traditions, Russian masters creatively perceived the artistic culture Western Europe. In the XVIII century. Two main stylistic trends were created - Russian Baroque and Russian Classicism.
Few baroque monuments were created in Moscow, since the development of the style coincided with the building of St. Petersburg, moreover, some of them died during the fire of 1812, but Moscow classicism brilliantly manifested itself in numerous buildings for various purposes. After Patriotic War 1812 Classicism acquires features of great simplicity and rigor. WITH mid-nineteenth V. its decline begins and various stylistic trends come to replace it - the era of "all styles" is coming. Originated in the late 19th and early 20th centuries. style "modern" further increases the diversity of buildings. Capitalism puts forward the need to create new types of structures - tenement houses, hotels, railway stations, etc.
Construction technology is rapidly developing at this time, but the artistic value of buildings, with some exceptions, does not reach a high level.
Great October opened up unlimited opportunities for the development of all kinds of arts. Already in 1918, V.I. Lenin signs a decree on the protection and restoration of historical and cultural monuments. Restoration work has received a huge scale in our days.
The party and the government pay great attention to aesthetic education Soviet people, and the works of Russian architects play a big role in this, causing admiration for the talent of the Russian people, fostering a sense of patriotism and pride in their country. Architectural monuments brought back to life by Soviet restorers occupy a place of honor in the ensembles of the new Moscow.
Soviet architecture in its development went through a number of stages. The twenties and early thirties are characterized by the search for new means architectural expressiveness free from the eclecticism of the previous period. At this time, much attention is paid to the rational construction of building plans, the widespread use of new materials and structures, which made it possible to create a number of interesting and artistically valuable structures. However, the real possibilities of construction of that time did not allow many architectural ideas to be realized.
The development of the country's economy gave rise to a desire for majestic forms and splendor of decoration. The appeal to various styles began again, which subsequently led to excesses and unjustified embellishment. This direction was justly condemned by the government decree of 1955, which stated that "simplicity, rigor of forms and cost-effectiveness of solutions should be characteristic of Soviet architecture." At present, Soviet architects are persistently working on the creation of full-fledged works of art capable of reflecting the spirit of our time and the pathos of building communism. The enormous scope of construction in our country places before Soviet architecture the necessity of constructing complexes and ensembles capable of creating an integral image of the city. L.I. Brezhnev pointed out that "it is a matter of honor for each of us to turn Moscow into an exemplary communist city."
It is clear that it is impossible to present all the architectural wealth of Moscow in a booklet. Only the monuments that are the most valuable in artistic terms or the most characteristic of their time are indicated here.
The architectural monuments of the city of Vladimir are, for the most part, monuments of the Old Russian period (XII - early XVIII centuries) - church and civil, stone and wooden, separate buildings and architectural complexes. A number of monuments date back to provincial times (late 18th - early 20th centuries). The monuments of white-stone architecture of the XII-XIII centuries are of the greatest value.

Golden Gate
The rarest monument of ancient Russian fortification. The building was built from white stone in 1158-1164 Vladimir Prince Andrey Bogolyubsky, as the main battle and travel tower of the newly created fortress. Of the five outer gates of the fortress, only one survived - the Golden one.
The building is a high, powerful tower cut through by a 14-meter vault with an arched lintel in the middle. Under the lintel, oak gates were fastened, bound with gilded copper. A combat platform was laid over the jumper. At the top of the tower, above the arched opening, there was the Church of the Deposition of the Robe of the Virgin - a miniature variation of the white stone church. An internal staircase led to the church. The detour around the church, surrounded by a battlement, served as a second battlefield. battle tower, Triumphal Arch, the church - everything is combined in the laconic, but bright and expressive architecture of the Golden Gate - the main gate of the new capital of North-Eastern Rus', which Vladimir became under Andrei Bogolyubsky.
On both sides, the tower was squeezed by the earthen embankment of the city fortress, taking on the weight of the gate church. In 1238, the Golden Gate withstood the onslaught of the Mongol-Tatar horde and did not disgrace themselves: the Tatars entered the city not through the gate, but through a breach in the wooden wall on the rampart. Despite the fires of wartime and peacetime, dilapidation and minor repairs, the appearance of the Zolotye remained almost unchanged until the end of the 18th - beginning of the 19th centuries, however, the gate church "stood idle for many years without singing." It was only in provincial times that the building was seriously rebuilt: the ramparts on the sides were taken away, the tower was surrounded by outbuildings hiding the buttresses, and the gate church was rebuilt from brick and consecrated in 1810. The open bypass around the church turned into a closed gallery. The inner-wall staircase was filled up, and resumed only in 1870.
Currently, the Golden Gates are part of the Vladimir-Suzdal Museum-Reserve, included in the UNESCO World Heritage List.
Trinity Church
One of the last church buildings in provincial Vladimir. It occupies approximately the church place, which since the 17th century. It belonged to the wooden Kazan church of the Yamskaya Sloboda, after the fire of 1778 it was transferred outside the city along with the Sloboda. Subsequently, private buildings appeared here.
The plot near the Golden Gate, at the corner of Dvoryanskaya and Letneperevozinskaya streets, was acquired in 1912 by the Old Believer community (Austrian persuasion), which consisted mainly of merchants. The church was built at the expense of the community in 1913-1916. designed by the architect-artist S.M. Zharova from an excellent brick of the local Studzitsky factory. October 30, 1916 Trinity Church was consecrated.
The building is an imposing red-brick building in the so-called "pseudo-Byzantine" style, consisting of two connected volumes: the church itself and the bell tower. A high silhouette with an energetic stepped top is crowned by a helmet-shaped head; the western volume - the bell tower - is somewhat lower. The basement, the contours of windows and portals are made of white stone. The temple is decorated with decorative belts and curbs, the "cross" brickwork itself.
Divine services in the temple ceased in 1928; the provincial archival bureau was located here. Subsequently, the building was used by the city government for various purposes; even the question of demolition was raised, until in 1976 the Trinity Church was occupied by the exposition of the Vladimir-Suzdal Museum-Reserve.
Water tower
A monument of engineering, technical and industrial architecture of the early 20th century.
The need of the city of Vladimir for a water tower arose during the laying of a water pipe in the 1860s. The first project of the water tower involved its installation in the inactive gate church of the Golden Gate. This project did not take place.
Later, a water tower was built on the Kozlov Val. In 1912, this building was completely rebuilt according to the project of the architect-artist S.M. Zharova.
The building is a three-tiered red brick structure in " pseudo-Russian style", which has the shape of a cistern (an elongated shaft) in plan and expands upwards, like a fortress tower. Windows, including double ones, of different heights in each tier, and brick decor - lancet arches and rectangular sandriks above the windows serve as decoration; two belts of arched niches , imitating "mashikuli"; eaves rollers separating the tiers.
The building was restored in the 1970s. At the top of the tower, where the reservoir was located, there is an observation deck with a low tent.
Kozlov shaft
The southwestern part of the earthen embankment in the system of fortifications in the city of Vladimir in the 12th century.
Under Prince Andrei Bogolyubsky in 1158-1164. the city architecturally took shape as the new capital of Suzdal Rus. The grandiose urban plan of the prince was embodied, first of all, in a new fortress - a ring of ramparts with external moats, gates, blind towers and a wooden fence on the ramparts. The city acquired the shape of an elongated wedge between the Klyazma and Lybid rivers, with a sharp end facing east, and a blunt end facing west. The perimeter of the ramparts was almost 7 km, the height was 9 m, the width of the sole was 22 m. Five external travel towers were built into the rampart system. In the western line, the main ones rise - the Golden Gate, the only one that has survived. On both sides, the tower of the Golden Gate was squeezed by earthen embankments.
With the loss of defensive value in early XVIII V. the ancient fortress begins to collapse, the ramparts sink, they are cut through by "holes" and paths, the slopes are plowed open for vegetable gardens.
A plot of land south of the Golden Gate near the rampart in the 18th century. purchased by the merchant Kozlov. His name passed into the name of this part of the rampart.
The passage near the Golden Gate was cleared of the embankment during the renovation of the building in late XVIII - early XIX centuries The height of the shaft is preserved by two thirds - up to 6 m.
In provincial times, the remains of an ancient fortress, including Kozlov Val, are already perceived as a monument of antiquity, which should be preserved.
Currently, Kozlov Val is a monument of ancient Russian urban planning and fortification.
Museum complex "Chambers" (building of the Offices)
The building of the Offices was built in 1785-1790. designed by the architect Blank in a strict classical style.
It is located in the very center of the city, between the ancient cathedrals, in the depths of an old park with a fountain and alleys. Intended for the provincial administration, it remained bureaucratic until the nineties of the XX century.
In the early 1990s The museum-reserve vacated and handed over to its intended purpose several church buildings occupied by depositories and expositions. By this time, the regional administration received a new building on Oktyabrsky Prospekt. A bold idea has matured in the museum: to turn Historical building Presence in museum complex. However, it turned out to be a difficult and lengthy matter to free the Chambers from officials. And yet the museum is step by step, floor by floor, in a fantastic short term- in 5 years (!) he managed not only to repair and master this huge building, but also to win him new fame and love of the townspeople.
Now the impregnable government building with a "front entrance", which served the bureaucracy for 200 years, has acquired an attractive appearance of a museum - beautiful, cozy, meaningful.
The building of the historical museum
Currently, the building houses the exposition of the State Vladimir-Suzdal Historical, Architectural and Art Museum-Reserve "The History of the Vladimir Region from Ancient Times to 1917." The building was designed by the architect P.G. Begen.

The laying of the building took place on May 29, 1900. By November 1901, the building was erected in rough outline. 1902 was spent on finishing the lower floor. In the summer of 1903, at the expense of M.N. Sofonov and his own workers made a wall painting of the upper floor. The first floor was intended for the library and the historical archive. The second housed the museum. Until 1906, finishing work and placement of exhibits were going on.

In front of the main entrance there is a porch with a balcony on a vaulted ceiling supported by four pillars. Interfloor belt, cornice and architraves are made of hewn profiled bricks. Colored tiles are inserted in the widths located along the cornice, on the corner blades and in the piers of the windows of the second floor (along the main facade). (The tiles come from a stove that was in the house of Sapozhnikov (XVII century) in the city of Gorokhovets. They have an ornament: in the center there is a convex medallion with a relief floral pattern in the form of a star, along the edges there is a wide frame with a relief floral pattern. The background is covered with white in the center, and along the edges with light green glazing.The reliefs of the picture are given with yellow, brown and blue glazing.)

The floors are connected by a front two-flight staircase.
House-museum of the brothers N.G. and A.G. Stoletovs
Wooden one-story house on a stone mezzanine 1845-1869 A typical example of urban philistine building 2nd half of XIX V. The decorative decoration of the facade is laconic and gravitates towards the "classical" style: a developed cornice, shoulder blades, simple architraves; a veranda opens onto the courtyard. The house had a garden of fruit trees.
The house is an outbuilding of a vast two-story stone building, making a turn from Bolshaya Street to Rozhdestvensky Val (now Stoletovykh Street). The building was built one of the first according to the regular plan of the city in 1781 by the merchant D.A. Stoletov (great-grandfather of Nikolai and Alexander Grigorievich).
