Until recently, knitting was a priority for our grandmothers. But now handmade things are extremely relevant. Not everyone is willing to spend a decent amount of money to buy hand-made clothing and accessories. Many people prefer to master the knitting and crocheting technique in order to create unique products on their own. But it's not just about saving money. Knitting is an opportunity to express your creative imagination. You need to be patient to get the basic skills, and you will become a real fan of this type of needlework.
It is necessary
- - knitting needles;
- - hook;
- - yarn;
- - knitting books and magazines.
Instructions
Step 1
Buy knitting needles, crochet hook and yarn. Knitting needles and crochet hooks are classified by number.
Step 2
The spoke number corresponds to its diameter in millimeters. For example, the diameter of the knitting needle # 2, 5 is 2.5 mm. The diameter of the needle should be twice the thickness of the thread. To choose the right knitting needles for the yarn, you can do this: fold the thread in half and twist slightly - the thickness of this thread will be equal to the diameter of the needed knitting needles.
Step 3
The hook number also corresponds to its diameter. The thickness of the hook should be approximately the same as the thickness of the thread.
Step 4
Master basic skills. If you want to learn how to knit, first of all, you must learn how to dial loops, knit front loops, purl loops, hem loops, and yarn over.
Step 5
If you want to learn how to crochet, you must learn how to chain stitches, single crochet, and crochet single crochet. This is not all that you need to learn, but these are the basic elements from which you will learn to complete more complex tasks.
Step 6
In order to learn the basic skills, you can buy books for beginner knitters or find online resources that detail how to set and knit loops, with clear and detailed photographs and illustrations. Video tutorials are very effective. They are also easy to find on the internet.
Step 7
Find experienced knitters among your friends or acquaintances. It is better to see in reality how the main elements are performed. This will greatly simplify your learning curve.
Step 8
Sign up for a master class for beginner knitters. In 1-2 lessons, you can understand the main things. If you want to gain deeper knowledge and skills, sign up for long-term knitting courses.
Step 9
Learn to understand knitting patterns. All types of loops have their own symbols. The decoding of these signs can be found in books, magazines or on Internet sites. There is no unified system of symbols - in different sources they may differ from each other.
Step 10
After you learn how to read the diagrams, tie the first products. It is easiest to knit a scarf with knitting needles, and an openwork napkin with a crochet hook. These things will definitely come in handy.
