If you want to learn how to crochet, first learn how to make air loops. This is the main element of this handicraft art. In specialized magazines, it is designated by a circle. With the help of air loops, work begins; they connect different working parts. It is also an important part of many beautiful designs.
It is necessary
- Thick hook
- Thick light thread
Instructions
Step 1
Take the hook like a pencil. Hands should be in free movement, without support on the elbows. The working thread lies on the index finger; the tension of the thread will be adjusted with the middle and unnamed.
Step 2
Insert the crochet hook away from you under the thread to your left. Turn it so that the thread is draped over it. Using your thumb and forefinger, press down on the twisted thread and re-insert the hook under the thread. Picking it up, pass it through the loop on the hook. Tighten the knot. You now have an initial chain stitch.
Step 3
Grab the working thread with the crochet hook, re-entering it from the left. Pull the thread through the loop on the hook. In front of you is the second air loop. So continue to knit the chain to the length you want. Move each pair of loops made with your thumb down.
Step 4
Try to make a pattern of chain stitches by closing them into a ring. So they begin to make napkins and various knitted toys. For this:
• make the chain of the required length;
• insert the hook into the first loop and make a yarn over;
• Pull the thread both through the yarn and through the work loop.
The ring should engage.
Step 5
Use chain stitches to knit different types of stitches and half stitches. This is how a variety of patterns are created on the canvas. Having connected the initial chain, make additional chain loops for the future column. This lift is usually used:
• 1 chain loop is 1 half-column;
• 2 sts is a single crochet;
• 3 p. - Column with crochet;
• 4 sts - a column with 2 crochets, etc.
The air loops will serve as a "ladder" to the second row of knitting, so that it rises to the desired height.
