The term "knocking" comes from the English word knooking, which is not translated into Russian.
Knocking is a very popular knitting technique in the USA and Europe. It is used when crocheting. The fabric turns out to be similar to a knitted fabric.
This technique will appeal to those who do not like to knit. Knocking does not take much time, the fabric knits very quickly and easily.
It is necessary
Knocking hook (with a loop similar to a needle's eye), yarn, auxiliary thread (its length should be 2.5 times the width of the fabric that you will knit), scissors
Instructions
Step 1
We tie a piece of contrasting thread to the hook.
Step 2
We knit a chain of air loops. For example, out of 20.
Step 3
We knit new loops from the air loops and put them on the hook. In this case, the working thread should be behind the knitting (position "from yourself"). The first row is similar to the front surface, which is knitted with knitting needles.
Step 4
There should be as many loops on the hook as there are for the chain.
Step 5
Pull the auxiliary thread through the loops.
Step 6
Turn knitting over to the wrong side. The thread should be before knitting (in the position towards you). We insert the hook into the first loop (from right to left), throw on the thread and pull it through the loop. You will get a loop of the next (second) row. Next, we insert the hook into the second loop of the first row, throw on the thread and pull it through the loop. You will get the second loop, the second row.
In the process of knitting, the loops of the next row are pulled from the loops of the previous row, which are on the auxiliary thread.
Step 7
We continue to knit the second row.
Step 8
We tie the row to the end and pull the auxiliary thread through the loops.
Step 9
We turn knitting. Working thread in the "away" position. We knit front loops. We insert the hook into the first loop of the row and make a yarn over. Pull the thread through the loop.
Step 10
We continue to knit 3 row.
Step 11
We tie the third row to the end. Carefully pull out the auxiliary thread from the loops of the first and second rows (do not cut and do not untie from the hook). Pull the released auxiliary thread through the loops of the third row.
Step 12
We turn knitting over. Knit the fourth row with purl loops (step 6 and step 7).
Step 13
Continue knitting by repeating steps 2-11.
Step 14
From the seamy side, the canvas should look like in the photo.
