Nobody remembers when the first knitted clothes appeared. It is known that the ancient Egyptians were still able to knit. Gradually, the manufacture of beautiful things from threads improved. Nowadays, needlewomen can afford to create from yarn of various textures and colors, use already known patterns, or come up with their own. With certain knowledge and skills, the craftswoman obtains beautiful handmade clothes.
It is necessary
Knitting tools (knitting needles, crochet hook), yarn, knitting patterns, pattern samples or drawing of the model you like
Instructions
Step 1
The fundamental element of any knitting is yarn. Therefore, you should learn how to correctly select it for the intended drawing, since the success of all work depends on this. Consider not only the color of the material, but also its characteristics, predicting the final result. For example, cotton yarn is very demanding to care for (only hand wash in warm water), since products made from it stretch easily and lose their shape. In addition, learn how to calculate the amount of yarn for knitting (useful for recounting when choosing a model that is not your size).
Step 2
To get a beautiful thing, you must be able to choose the right sizes of knitting tools (knitting needles, crochet hook) and be able to vary them, taking into account the thickness of the yarn. For example, the bottom edge of the product will not stretch very much if it is knitted with knitting needles of a smaller diameter than the whole thing as a whole. Alternatively, to obtain an openwork knit, you should use a larger crochet than usual.
Step 3
Perfectly master the technique of typing and working with the basic types of loops (front and back). Learn to knit patterns before starting each job. Then, in any case, you will be able to assess whether your knitting density corresponds to what the author of the scheme suggests, and you will never be mistaken with the calculation of the yarn and the size of the product.
Step 4
The hardest part of knitting is understanding patterns and describing patterns. Therefore, before getting down to work, read the instructions, fully disassemble the abbreviations and conventions. If you could not even partially understand the description, put it aside and choose another pattern. Initially, use ready-made schemes for work (you can find them in knitting magazines, the Internet, etc.), over time you will be able to draw them yourself.
Step 5
It is important to be able to give the finished product a gloss. To complete the work, put as much effort and patience as you put into knitting a pattern or parsing a diagram. Rough or uneven seams can ruin the impression of a beautiful knit or original design and ruin the whole result of your hard work. Read the yarn label carefully and follow the recommendations on it. Then the clothes you knit will delight others for a long time.
