Knit stitch is the most popular knitting technique. Odd rows are knit, and even rows are purl. The result is a smooth, uniform surface.
The fabric formation process occurs by knitting yarn loops using two knitting needles.
It is necessary
- - yarn;
- - knitting needles.
Instructions
Step 1
Knitting of any product or pattern always begins with a set of loops of the initial row. Cast on two knitting needles folded together. This is done so that the yarns stretch easily and fit well in the next row. When knitting sweaters, jumpers, shawls, scarves and other things, knit the first row from right to left. This will be the front side of the product, and pass the other row back. Get the wrong side. To create the front surface, knit odd rows with front loops, and even rows with purl.
Step 2
Knit loops can be knitted in two ways:
Classic front hinge
Take the knitting needle in your left hand. Put the working thread over your index finger and start to work. Insert the right knitting needle into the first loop from left to right. Gently grab the tip of the warp thread and pull it forward.
Step 3
English or grandma's loop
With this method, take a knitting needle with loops to be knitted in your left hand. Hold the working thread on your index finger behind the work. Insert the right knitting needle into the first stitch from right to left. Gently grasp the yarn and pull out the loop. Knit the front row to the end. Then turn the work and go through the next even strip with purl loops.
Step 4
To do this, hold the knitting needle with the dialed loops in your left hand. The working thread must pass in front of the thing. Slide the right knitting needle underneath it and insert the tip into the loop from right to left. Grab the warp in front of the knitting needle and pull the yarn out from you. Thus, a purl loop is knitted behind the front wall.
Step 5
If you are knitting a crossed purl loop, then leave the working thread in front of the product. Insert the right knitting needle from left to right towards you. Wrap the base yarn from bottom to top on the right knitting needle and pull the yarn over. In this way, a purl loop is knitted behind the back wall.
Continue to work further, alternately knitting the front and back rows.
