In knitting, the use of yarns is widespread. Not a single openwork pattern can do without a crochet. They can also be applied then. When to add loops. How to put on loops is quite simple to learn.

Yarn, knitting needles
Instructions
Step 1
There are two types of crochet: straight and reverse.
In order to get a straight yarn, in the front row, you need to wind the right knitting needle from above by the working thread (which is on your left index finger) and make a movement with this knitting needle towards yourself.
Step 2
If necessary, you can make a double (or more) yarn over by picking up the thread again in the same way as described in the previous step.
Step 3
To make a reverse yarn, in the front row, you need to wind the right knitting needle from below in front of the working thread (which is on your left index finger) and make a movement away from you.
Step 4
The reverse yarn in knitting is used to add loops in the fabric.
A straight crochet (or double / triple … crochet) is usually used for knitting various openwork patterns, or when the addition of loops is required, but with a hole formed after that.
As a rule, from the seamy side, the yarns are knitted with purl loops (if no other option is provided in the description of the knitting pattern - sometimes they can be knitted with a knitting loop or even dropped from a knitting needle - it all depends on the knitting pattern), or as two together purl (the yarn is knitted together with a loop next to it).
At the same time, an openwork hole is immediately formed on the front side in the knitted fabric (if a straight yarn was used in the previous row) or an additional crossed loop is added in the fabric that does not form an openwork hole (if the reverse yarn was used in the previous row). By arranging such openwork holes in a certain order (based on the knitting pattern), you can get beautiful openwork (lace) patterns.
The same crochet can be used when knitting "volumetric" patterns such as a patent elastic band, and when knitting thickened relief patterns such as "honeycomb", "stripes", "zigzags".
