The front loop is the main basic element of knitting. If knitting just such a loop, you get garter knit. This binding is the most common and easy to perform. To perform the loop follow the instructions:
To start a series of, need to take spoke with loops in the right hand and to lift extreme loop. Reverse movement of the insert in the outermost loop of the right needle;
Grab the right spoke working thread and move it so that the thread was on the left spoke;
The right needle to pull the working thread (through the loop). Next, use the left spoke to remove the loop.
Similarly, continue the series to the end. Check the canvas for errors, correct flaws if necessary.
Purl loops are also fundamental in knitting and form a hosiery knit. Such a loop is very easy to do in the following way:
The wrong row begins after the front one has been tied. In this case, the front row should be turned to the right, then the spoke with the cloth will remain in the left hand;
For starters, you need to remove the top loop, and movement on itself, insert the right needle into the right loop;
Throw the working thread on the right spoke and hold down between the spokes.
The right spokeshave to stretch the thread through the loop. Then you can remove the loop from the left spoke.
Repeat the series until the end.
The final stage of performance of any product is the closing of loops. This ensures a neat edge of the completed canvas. It is necessary, necessarily, to ensure that the tension of the loops was the same, and the edge of the canvas smooth. In order to close the loop you need to do a few manipulations:
In the last row, knit the first two loops and insert the corner of the left spoke in the right loop from left to right.
Using the left spoke to raise the first loop, stretch over the second loop and pull the spokes to close the loop.
Repeat the first step. Continue until one loop remains. Cut the end of the thread, leaving a small tail, and pull it through the loop and tighten.
Necessary tool
In order to start the creative process, it is necessary to have a minimum set of tools for knitting. First of all, the spokes are needed. You need to pick up the spokes under the thickness of the yarn. The market offers a wide range of spokes, which vary in shape, number, and purpose.
The shape of the spokes are:
Direct. They are chosen for weaving the fabric straight. At the edges of these tools there are limiters;
Circular. These are two short spokes that are connected by a cord or fishing line. Usually used for weaving in a circle, sometimes for straight yarn;
Stocking. These are short spokes that are often sold in a set of four or five pieces. They are used for knitting socks, stockings, etc.;
Auxiliary spokes. This is a short, often curly knitting needles required for knitting the individual parts -the entrance to the pocket, fingerless gloves, etc.
Spokes can be made of different materials: metal, plastic, wood or bone.
Novice seamstresses are better to choose a steel straight spokes.
Straight needles are ideal for weaving something simple, such as hats or scarves. Aluminum can stain the light material, wood cling to fluffy threads, and plastic is not reliable and often break. Therefore, metal spokes-ideal.
Another important criterion when choosing spokes — number (diameter). It is usually indicated on instruments in millimeters. The thicker the selected yarn, the larger the diameter of the hook. The metric numbering system of spokes differs in different countries, so when buying them, it is better to consult a consultant or a specialist.
Suitable yarn
From the choice of yarn depends largely on the result of the time spent on knitting. For the first related products, it is best to use the most convenient yarn.
The yarn is:
Natural: wool, cashmere, mohair, cotton, linen, etc.;
Artificial: viscose;
Synthetic: polyester, acrylic, lycra, etc.;
Mixed.
Novice needlewomen are recommended to choose for knitting synthetic or mixed yarn, such as acrylic.
Acrylic yarn is smoother and more manageable in the process.
Important information is usually printed on the product label. The composition, weight of the skein, as well as the recommended size of the spokes, are specified. These data will help to Orient the number of required materials and selection of spokes. It is better to keep the labels until the very end because there is always a chance not to calculate the amount of yarn.
Main mistake
Knitted things
Mistakes can be made by both experienced masters and beginners. No need to be afraid to make a mistake. Only by making and correcting their own shortcomings can come to the desired result.
Common mistakes in crochet:
Selection of complex scheme. Often beginners want to start immediately with an intricate pattern, but do not know the basics. Started the product, even, do not finish until the end, as after the "torment" interest in knitting for a while disappears;
Wrong materials. Often needlewomen buy their favorite yarn and begin to knit "grandmother" spokes, which is not true in the roots;
Ancillary materials. It is important to think about convenience when knitting and storing materials. If you do not acquire the necessary containers, pins, etc. to knit will be uncomfortable. It is also important to take care of the sitting position and light.
Mistakes in the process — a familiar situation for a beginner. If when knitting, you notice twisted, deflated or untied loops, it is necessary to dissolve the yarn fragment and eliminate the flaw.
If we consider all the recommendations for the choice of materials, as well as not to repeat these mistakes, you can achieve good results in knitting and create unusual handmade products.
