Crocheted products never go out of style. They can be seen in old photographs - beautiful, stately ladies are sitting in openwork shawls under lace umbrellas … And on the pages of fashion magazines or catwalks - slender models walk the catwalk in cardigans, sweaters and crocheted hats. And on the windows of houses you can see thin, weightless curtains, slightly obscuring the sun. Crocheting is not difficult to learn even on your own. This article presents one of the techniques that you cannot do without when knitting a knitted fabric according to a pattern or a pattern.

Crochet hook, yarn
Instructions
Step 1
Most of the products have a complex shape, which can be realized by adding loops. There are two options for adding loops: when you need to add loops inside the row and at the beginning / end of the row. Let's consider them sequentially for different types of columns.
Step 2
Adding loops within the row.
Column without crochet. Work in single crochet stitches to where you want to add the loop. In the next stitch, work 2 single crochets instead of one. To do this, insert the hook under the top two threads of the next loop, make a yarn over and pull the thread through the loop, make a yarn over and pull the thread through the two loops on the hook. Then do the exact same steps, again inserting the crochet under the two strands of the same buttonhole as before.
Half double crochet. Work with half-crochets to the place where you need to add a loop, and in the next loop, knit 2 half-crochets instead of one. To do this, make a yarn over, insert the hook under the top two threads of the next loop, make a yarn over and pull the thread through the loop, make a yarn over and pull the thread through the two loops on the hook. Then do the exact same steps, again inserting the crochet under the two strands of the same buttonhole as before. Finish the row.
Column with crochet. Knit in crochet stitches to the point where you want to add the loop. Work in the next stitch with a double crochet, and then another 1 double crochet in the same stitch of the previous row. Finish the row.
Column with two crochets. Work in double crochet stitches until you want to add a loop. Next, knit 2 double crochet stitches in one loop of the previous row. Continue knitting in double crochet stitches until the next stitch is to be added.
Step 3
Adding stitches at the beginning / end of the row.
Simple addition of stitches at the beginning of the row.
Tie pivoting stitches before starting the next row (for a single crochet - 1 loop, for a half-crochet - 2 loops, for a double crochet - 3 loops, for a double crochet - 4 loops). Work a stitch in a second stitch from the edge of the previous row. These are 2 edge loops, they are always knitted without adding / subtracting, so that the edge of the product is even. In the third loop from the edge, knit two stitches instead of one. Continue knitting until the end of the row. If you continue to make one addition at the beginning of each front row, then you will get a beveled edge on the right side.
Simple addition of stitches at the end of the row.
Work 1 row on the right side of the garment until 3 loops remain untied. Work 2 stitches in the third stitch from the end of the edge. Next, end the row with two edge stitches. If you continue to make one addition at the end of each front row, you will get a beveled edge on the left side.
Step 4
Adding several loops at the beginning of the row.
To add a few stitches at the beginning of the row, start with a chain of chain stitches. At the end of the previous row, turn the work over and knit as many loops as you need to add, plus pivoting loops. Let's say you knit in single crochet and you need to add 5 loops. Then at the beginning of a new row, you should knit 5 stitches for adding plus 1 stitch for turning, i.e. only 6 loops. Tie a single crochet into the second loop (a half-crochet, respectively, in the third, a single crochet in the fourth, a double crochet in the fifth). Work one column at a time in the next 4 stitches in the chain. Work the next single crochet across the top of the last stitch of the previous row. Finish the row. Turn the product over, make lifting loops and knit a row in the opposite direction to the 5th added loop of the previous row. Continue to knit in all loops.
Step 5
Adding several loops at the end of the row.
Knit to the end of the row, making one column in each loop of the previous row, until there are two untied loops in the row. Leave them on for a while and remove the crochet hook from the last knitted loop. Pull a piece of thread through the last of the pivot stitches on the previous row. Tie as many loops with this thread as required for the addition. Secure the thread at the end of the air chain. Insert the crochet hook into the loop left earlier and tie one column in each of the last two loops of the previous row. Then work one stitch in each chain stitch that was tied at the end of the row. Turn the work over, make pivoting loops and tie the column into the second loop from the edge. Next, knit stitches in each loop to the end of the row. Finish the row.
