The ways of tying the loops on the knitting needles - three plus one

In order to start knitting any product, be it a plaid or socks, it is necessary to form the first main row. You can do this by different methods. And it is the methods of tying loops to spokes will be the topic of this article.

Basic, it's also classic

This method is very simple not only in mastering, but also in further implementation. It will require yarn, two spokes and a thumb and index finger of the left hand.

The process itself is as follows. Uncoiling a small piece of thread from the yarn, it is placed in the middle of the palm. After that, the thread stretching to the skein is wound around the thumb so that it touches the hand between the thumb and forefinger. Then the thread is stretched beyond the index finger and is taken out to the part located on the palm of the hand. The initial position for the set of loops is ready.

Taking in the right hand tightly pressed to each other needles, they are injected from the inside into the noose of the thumb, then they are led into a loop at the index finger and withdrawn again through the loop at the large one. To form a loop is simple enough: for this, the spokes gently pull on themselves, and the thread, sliding, independently does it. To collect the required number of loops, the procedure should be repeated as long as necessary.

The ways of dialing two-spoke loops are very popular, because after the process of their formation, one spoke is withdrawn, and the remaining ones are created with air loops ready for binding.

Classic with double initial loop

It should be noted that the ways of dialing the spokes on the spokes differ from each other not too much. An example is this one.

The starting position is the hinged loop on the index finger and the thumb of the left hand. Next, the spokes clamped in the right hand, poded under the thread stretched between the fingers, and pulled to the one that is at the thumb, forming a loop into which the knitting needle is driven from below. Then they should be introduced from the outside into the resulting loop at the index finger and, pulling on yourself, tighten the resulting two loops. Further the set is carried out in the same way as in the classical method.

Heritage of Italy

The ways of dialing the loops on the spokes are manifold, and they serve to knit different elements. The Italian method is best suited for forming a rubber band 2 by 2.

It begins with the receipt of a simple classical loop. After that, they immediately start typing in pairs. So, for the face pair, you should bring the needles under the thread that goes to the thumb, and then - under the thread that goes to the index finger, and tighten the movement "on yourself." Two spokes should appear on the spokes at once. Next (to form the purl), the spokes are first applied to the thread that goes to the index finger, and then under the thread directed to the thumb. And again, two strong loops form on you.

Air English

The ways of dialing the spokes vary depending on the country. And the English needlewomen offered their own simple method, which, however, can not be considered the main one. It is aimed at adding to the already knitting knitting loops.

So, in the place where it is necessary to add several loops, simple circular movements impose the necessary number of curls on the spoke, which are subsequently tied. It is worth noting that the loops are added to work only on the spoke in the right hand (working).

It's so easy to create the initial series in the course of creating a knitted masterpiece.
