Knitting is a very old craft. The ability to knit makes it possible to create beautiful exclusive things. Anyone can master the knitting technique; this requires knitting needles, yarn, desire and patience.
Teaching knitting techniques begins with a set of loops. They are airy, they are recruited from one thread. For lessons, it is better to take thick yarn and knitting needles No. 4-6. In your right hand, hold one knitting needle and the end of the yarn, put the continuation of the thread over the index finger of your left hand in the form of a loop. Insert the needle away from you under the loop and remove it on the needle. Continue to cast on the desired number of loops in the same way. This method is used to obtain a thin edge of the fabric or for an additional set of loops in the middle of a job.
A more common set of two-strand loops. Take the thread from the ball, squeeze the end in the palm of your left hand, wrap the yarn around your thumb counterclockwise and place it on your index finger. Squeeze the continuation of the thread in the palm of your hand. Connect two knitting needles together and duck them under the thread on the thumb, twist it, grab the thread from the index finger and pull it into the resulting loop, tighten it on the knitting needles.
Next, insert the needles into the loop on the thumb, pull the thread into it from the index finger, remove it on the needle and tighten. With this method of a set of loops, the edge is smooth, beautiful. Having typed the loops, pull out one knitting needle from them, the loops will move freely on the needle, you can easily insert a knitting needle under them in order to stretch the thread.
