Knitting for Beginners on Knits

For knitting on knitting need threads and knitting needles. You can use any thread for knitting-woolen, cotton, silk, but most often knit from wool. The spokes can be made of metal (steel, aluminum), wooden, made of bone and plastic; short, long and round (two spokes, connected together by a line or a flexible cable). Short ones are used for mating around (socks, mittens, hats) in only one direction, a set of five pieces. Two long ones are used for flat products. They operate in the direct and opposite direction. Round knit cylindrical products without a seam, and also skirts, sweaters of a cut of raglan. The spokes should be well polished so that the threads slide over them. Not very sharp, not to get hurt, and not too blunt, which complicates the process. The thickness is selected depending on the thickness of the thread and the pattern.

In knitting on knitting needles there are such basic types of loops: loops of the initial row, front and back loops, crossed, openwork, removed and thrown over.

Crochet for Beginners

Crochet attracts fast execution andthe ability to create not only dense, relief patterns for warm winter things, but also thin, openwork, reminiscent of a lace fabric. You can use woolen, half woolen, cotton, wigone threads. Hooks are metal, bone, plastic, wooden of different thickness. Choosing a hook, you should pay attention to whether it is well polished, whether the "head" is not large.

If you take a thick hook for thin threads, the binding will be openwork, with large gaps. A dense creation can be obtained by combining thick threads and a thin hook.

There are also special hooks: they are longer than usual by 15-20 cm. They perform the work in a special way, the patterns are dense, original and beautiful. This knitting is called Tunisian.

The main types of loops and posts are an air loop, a half-loop, a column with a crochet and without a crochet, a half-bar with a crochet, a column with two, three or more crochets.
