To begin with, let's define what a step is. This is one of many trim elements that is knitted backwards (from left to right) along the front of the product.
The trim thread can be attached to the product, or you can continue tying with the main thread. This can be done as follows: the hook is inserted into the last loop in the row. Then the loop is pulled out and a lifting loop or air loop, as it is also called, is knitted. We do everything so that the short end of the thread is between the lifting thread and the working thread.
Instructions
Step 1
You can knit a steppe step in many ways, consider the two most popular.
The first method requires the use of single crochets. The hook is inserted into the loop, grabs the working thread and pulls it so that we get two loops on the hook. These loops are knitted from a working thread. Then the procedure is repeated, and we get a beautiful strapping with a crustacean step.
Step 2
Now the second way. A fluffy column is used here. The hook is inserted under the loop, grabs and pulls the working thread, making it slightly longer than in method number one. A yarn is made.
Step 3
A hook is inserted into the same loop and pulls out the loop (the first loop is not counted in the future). We look at what we get on the hook - two loops and a yarn between them. The larger the volume of the strapping, the more loops can be used, together with the yarn (five, seven or more). The numbers must be odd. All the resulting loops are knitted from the working thread in one step and fixed with a tight air loop (optional).
The distance between the points through which the hook is inserted into the product depends on the size of our lush posts. You can knit through 1-3 loops of the final row of the product.
