Knitting starts with a set of loops. In this lesson we will learn how to cast on stitches on knitting needles in the traditional way.

1. Take the thread from the ball in the palm of your left hand and throw it over your index finger.

2. Wrap the free end of the thread clockwise around your thumb.

3. And we pinch both ends of the thread with the free fingers of our left hand.

4. Take two knitting needles folded together in your right hand.
We insert them from the bottom up into the loop on the thumb.

5. We pick up the thread from the index finger as shown in the figure - from top to bottom.
We stretch the knitting needles with the thread into the loop.

6. Then we release the thread from the thumb, or in other words, we simply pull the thumb out of the loop.

7. And, helping with the thumb and index fingers of the left hand, tighten the loop.
Hold the loop with the index finger of your right hand.
The first loop is knitted.

8. Having lowered the knitting needles towards you, we again insert them from the bottom up into the loop on the thumb.
Then we pick up the thread from the index finger from the top down and pull the knitting needles with the thread into the loop on the thumb.

9. Tighten the second loop.

Crocheting is the creation of clothing or fabric from threads using a special hook. Napkins, toys, clothes, hats, bags - it’s hard to imagine modern life without these items, and all of this can be crocheted.

Of course, when learning to knit, you need to start with the very basics - how to cast on stitches, how to correctly add or subtract them during knitting to form a shoulder cap or armhole. How to carefully add stitches in the middle of a row to form a curve for a doll's head. You need to develop a kind of instinct so that if you suddenly knit according to the pattern, you can determine for yourself when it’s time to stop casting on and secure the thread. To master all this wisdom, here are instructions with descriptions and useful videos.

To start learning, you need to familiarize yourself with some rules.

Choosing threads and hooks for beginners

At first, you need to be prepared for the fact that the knitting will be uneven, somewhere tight or, conversely, loose. This defect can be corrected with experience.

Types of mating

When knitting loops bottom grip the product is compacted and the fabric resembles a transverse elastic band knitted with knitting needles.

At circular knitting The canvas has a different pattern on both sides. The product stretches well.

If you knit using the method under the loop, you will get tight knitting with the same pattern on the back and front sides.

The basis of any product is air loop, from which you can then knit a row - a chain.

Description of the process of casting on loops for beginners

Crocheting stitches can be done in other ways.

Magic ring:

The following simple method:

Whichever of the proposed options the beginning craftswoman chooses, the initial loop of the product is made using a method convenient for each needlewoman.

When doing crochet, the set of stitches in the first row must be even, without tightening or loosening the knitting too much.

To avoid pulling the first row, there is an elastic method or set without air loops.

So, we collect three air loops in the chain.

THE LOOP WHICH IS LOCATED ON THE HOOK IS NOT taken into account!

To consolidate the skill need to practice to bring the skill of typing columns to automaticity. Without this, evenness of the loops is impossible.

Types of loops

Stitch casting methods

Double set

1. It is carried out by knitting a chain of two air loops.
2. The first chain stitch is knitted with a single crochet.
3. Then the hook is inserted into the left side of the second loop.
4. Knitted with double crochet.

This way you should knit to the desired length.

Connecting post

1. Insert the hook into the loop.
2. Pull out the running thread.
3. Then we pull it through one loop, which is located on the hook.

Single crochet

1. Insert a hook into the loop.
2. Pull out the thread.
3. Throw on a thread and connect the two loops.

Half double crochets

1. Yarn over and insert a hook into the loop.
2. Pull out the thread.
3. We make another yarn over, which we pull through three loops.

Double crochets

The first row consists of air loops.

1. You need to make two yarn overs on the hook.
2. You need to insert a hook into the loop.
3. Pull a thread through it.
4. Yarn over again and knit through the starting loop and again make a yarn over.
5. Next, we yarn over one more time, then knit a loop on the hook and yarn over again.

After this, you need to make one yarn over again and knit two loops.

This is not a complete list of types of loops with which it is easy to knit any product for a beginning needlewoman.

Crochet set for beginners

This makes it easy to knit a straight edge using stockinette stitch or open stitches without the edge stretching or curling. This is especially true for knitting elastic bands on a knitting needle.

This method has undeniable advantages for beginners:

• The edge on the knitting needle is shaped like a pigtail.
• There is no need to measure the amount of thread for the cast-on row on the knitting needle.
• There remains a tip for sewing the product, which can easily be hidden as unnecessary;
• The loops of the initial row move well on the knitting needle.
• This method is convenient for casting on air loops, counting and knitting.

This method is often used for knitting blankets or scarves that do not use an openwork edge.

Braiding set for beginners

Set of open loops on a knitting needle for beginners

1. We collect the first row with an additional thread.
2. Cut the thread.
3. Secure the end loop by pulling the thread through.

Then you need to knit several rows with the main yarn, and unravel the braid. This creates an edge in which all the loops are open.

So, be patient and necessary materials and start mastering this type of knitting. Good luck to the beginning craftswomen!

Crochet stitch set for beginners

Huge number knitted patterns created by using a very limited number of types of loops and yarn overs.

There are different types of knitting stitches:

Anatomy of the loop

The loop consists of a front wall, located in front of the knitting needle, and a back wall, located behind the knitting needle.

Edge loops

The first and last loops in the row are called edge stitches. They are never taken into account when knitting a pattern, as they are hidden in the seam of the product.

Face loops

There are 2 ways to knit knit stitches.

Classic way- the front loop is knitted behind the front wall. When knitting knit stitches, the working thread should be behind the work (i.e., behind the knitting needles).

1. Slip the first edge stitch onto the right needle. Insert the right needle into the loop from left to right, pull its upper part.

2. Grab the working yarn from your index finger with the tip of your needle and pull it through the loop. Then slip a stitch off the left needle. The new loop will be on the right needle.

Crossed knit loop- the front loop is knitted behind the back wall.

When knitting with knit stitches, make sure that all the loops are the same size and tension, otherwise the knitted fabric will turn out sloppy.

1. Slip the edge stitch onto the right needle. Insert the end of the right needle into the middle of the next stitch and pull up the back wall of the loop.

2. Grab the working thread and pull it through the loop. The new stitch should remain on the right needle.

Purl loops

When knitting purl loops, the working thread should be in front of the work. Purl loops, like knit stitches, are knitted in two ways - behind the front and back walls of the loop.

Purl loop behind the front wall

1. Remove the edge loop. Insert the right needle into the next stitch from right to left, grab the working yarn and pull it through the loop. The working thread wraps around the tip of the right knitting needle from bottom to top.

2. Leave the new loop on the right needle, and discard the already knitted loop on the left.

Purl loop behind the back wall

1. Remove the edge loop. Insert the right needle into the next loop behind the back wall from right to left, grab the working thread from top to bottom and pull it through the loop.

2. Leave the resulting loop on the right knitting needle, and drop the knitted loop from the left knitting needle.

Capes

For knitting openwork patterns and forming new loops in the middle of the fabric, use a yarn over. There are 2 ways to perform a yarn over.

First method (straight yarn over)

1. Using the right knitting needle, pick up the working thread from the bottom up from you and continue knitting. In the next row, knit the yarn over like a regular loop.

2. A hole is created in the knitted fabric.

Second method (reverse yarn over)

This type of yarn over is used very rarely and is performed on oneself.

1. Using the right knitting needle, pick up the working thread from the bottom up towards you and continue knitting.

2. In the next row, knit the yarn over like a regular loop.

Crossed loop

Crossed loop- This is a loop whose walls are arranged crosswise. These loops are made from knit and purl stitches.

1. Knit a row of purl stitches behind the front wall. Turn the product over and knit a row of knit stitches, inserting the knitting needle behind the back wall.

2. The loops of the previous row are crossed.

When knitting with stockinette stitch, the bottom edge of the product is always curled, so when curled edges are needed, several knit rows are specially knitted at the bottom. If you want the edge knitted with stockinette stitch to not curl, then you need to start knitting with a 1 x 1 elastic band. If the edge still curls, after finishing the work, carefully steam it through gauze.

Removed loop

Removed loop- this is a loop that is removed onto a working knitting needle without knitting. If the loops are pulled to a height of 1 - 2 rows, these are short removed loops. If the loops are pulled to a height of 4-6 rows, these are long loops. The loops are removed from both the front side and the back side.

Short slipped loop

Insert the knitting needle into the loop from right to left from the front side and remove it from the left knitting needle to the right without knitting. The working thread can be left behind or in front of the knitting needle, depending on the pattern.

Long removed loop

1. Insert the right needle into the stitch on the left needle. Using the working thread, circle the end of the right knitting needle several times clockwise.

2. Gently pull the right needle through the loop on the left needle and remove the knitted loop from the left needle.

3. In the next row, do not knit the removed loop, but discard all the turns from the knitting needle. This way you will get a long loop.

How to knit loops with knitting needles

Do-it-yourself knitting differs from crocheting in that, firstly, there are other loops, and secondly, there are also different stitches, and the basis of knitting is two basic types of loops that have a different design, and are built on this design different loops and patterns. Therefore, some craftswomen prefer this type of knitting. Knitting with your own hands is not such a difficult job, the main thing is to have a lot of patience and learn the basic techniques and their derivatives.

Types of loops

The main or basic types of loops in hand knitting yourself are considered loops, which are called purl and knit. The purl loops are the wrong side of the product, and the front loops are its face. In addition to the main loops, there are also others:

• Edge. They can not be knitted only in circular knitting, but if you are making a rectangular canvas, then you cannot do without them.
• Crossed. Since ancient times, such loops have been very popular. After all, the fabric that is knitted with such loops is very dense and retains its properties for a long time. appearance and is hard to deform.
• Decrease loop or decrease loop. This loop is needed to reduce loops in a row.
• Yarn over. Usually used for other openwork products.
• Extended loops can give knitting a more delicate look. Such loops are considered a type of slipped loops.
• Air loops are used to increase the length of the product by adding new loops; also thanks to them, you can make buttonholes.
• English. These loops are knit stitches, which are knitted in a different way - in English.
• Additional and double loops done when you need to increase the number of loops on the product.

How to knit a knit stitch with knitting needles

Knitting stitches

There are two ways to knit knit stitches with your own hands - behind the front and back wall.

1 way will show you how else you can make an English loop with knitting needles. For this method you need to do the following:

• lower the working thread down the product and wrap it around the index finger of your left hand.
• pick up the loop with the right needle. In the direction from left to right.
• Next, grab the working thread on the left side in the same way, while holding the back wall of the loop, then pull the loop through it, which is located on the left knitting needle.

2 way . Some people call this method continental, but it needs to be done like this:

• Throw the working thread over the index finger of your left hand, and thus leave it behind the canvas.
• Grab the loop on the left needle from the right side by the back wall and pull the working thread through it.

How to knit purl stitches with knitting needles

Purl loops

You need to make purl loops yourself in this way:

• Throw a thread onto the left needle.
• on the right side, the right needle must be threaded under the front wall of the loop.
• correct thumb hand the working thread so that it is in front of the loop.
• Use your right knitting needle to lift the loop up a little, at the same time you need to grab the working thread clockwise and drag it through the wall of the loop.

How to knit edge stitches with knitting needles

To ensure that the edges of the fabric are neat and even, edge loops are used for this. These loops with your own hands can be divided into the first edge loop, with which you start the row, and the second loop, which ends the row.

There are many different ways knit edge loops, because it all depends on what kind of product you are knitting, because it can be made, for example, either convex in the form of a column of knots, or even in the form of a braid.

How to knit elongated loops with knitting needles

Elongated loops are knitted very simply, and they can be of different lengths, depending on what pattern you are making:

• if you want to make a short loop, the length of which is one or two rows, then you need to remove the loop on the right needle untethered from the right needle, and then pull it up a little.
• In this principle, you will see how to make longer loops: put the knitting needle behind the wall of the loop in the direction from left to right, then throw the working thread several times on the edge of the knitting needle, forming turns in it. Next, pull the future elongated loop through the loop of the previous row. Depending on how tall you need the drawn thread in the future, the number of turns will depend. The loop turns out higher when the number of turns increases.

Elongated loops with knitting needles

How to make a yarn over and chain stitch

Making a yarn over is very simple. While knitting, place the working thread on the right knitting needle in front of the knitted loop. In order to make a hole using a yarn over, in the next row, you need to knit it behind the back wall; if you want a closed yarn over, then knit it behind the front wall.

In order to knit air loops with your own hands, you need to throw the working thread over your finger so that it is shaped like a loop, then you need to transfer the thread to the right knitting needle and pull it up very carefully.

How to knit crossed stitches with knitting needles

These loops can be made not only using purl stitches, but also knit stitches. When you make purl crossed stitches, you must adhere to the following steps:

1. Throw the working thread over the top of the product onto the index finger of your left hand, so that the thread is above the desired loop.
2. in the direction from right to left, use the right knitting needle from below to pry the back wall of the purl loop.
3. Next, grab the working thread from right to left and pull out the crossed loop.

It is necessary to take into account which wall of the loop is closer to the edge, and only after that choose the method of knitting the front crossed loops:

• if the front loop faces the front wall, then you need to insert the knitting needle in front of the back wall, and then pull out the loop
• if the back wall of the loop is closer to the edge, then the knitting needle is inserted in front of the front wall, and then the working thread is pulled out.

How to knit an additional and double loop with knitting needles

The double and additional loops may have similar functions, but despite this they look and perform completely differently.

In order to make an additional loop, you need to pull the thread from the gap that is located between the knitted and not yet knitted loops.

The following steps must be done in order to make a double loop with knitting needles:

• make a purl or knit loop behind the front wall, depending on the pattern.
• Then you don’t need to throw off the knitted loop from the left knitting needle, you need to knit it again, only this time behind the back wall.
• when you have done everything, you have a double loop that is knitted from one.

Making decreasing loops

In any place where a row is knitted, you can make decreasing loops; this can be done both on the wrong side and on the front side. In order to make decreasing or decreasing stitches, you need to knit 2 stitches that are on the left needle together as one purl or knit stitch, it all depends on the pattern.

If you want to conquer and master this type needlework, then first you need to be able to make loops with knitting needles.

Right connected loops buttons are a very important element for any knitted things. And they need to be given no less attention than knitting the neckline or armhole, because the final result of the appearance of the product depends on this.

Types of loops when knitting

Exists Several different types of buttonholes include horizontal, vertical, eyelet, hinged and contrasting thread.

On single-breasted and double-breasted straps, the layout of the loops should be as shown in the photo:

Invisible loop for small buttons

Let's start with the simplest thing, making a small hole for a small button. It can be made using a yarn over or using a decorative “eyelet” element to obtain a slightly larger hole.

Yarn over button loop The easiest way is to yarn over in place of the loop. As a rule, it is performed in the front row, and in the purl row, without knitting, it is simply dropped from the knitting needle.

The second method, in which a slightly larger incision is formed, is an element called an “eye”.

You need to knit the purl row to the place of decoration. Pull the yarn over from the previous row between the loops. Knit the purl row to the end. In the front row, knit the yarn over and the previous loop together, but do not drop it from the left needle. Then grab the third stitch and knit. This is necessary to maintain the number of loops.

By the way! When the yarn over is made this way, it can be used to pass a decorative cord through it.

Loop-hole

Method I
Hole loops work well for small buttons. Do them like this. 1st row: yarn over where there should be a hole, knit the next two stitches together. 2nd row: yarn over and all the loops according to the pattern.

Method II
1st row: knit until the loop is cut, yarn over. Row 2: Slip the yarn over with a new yarn over. 3rd row: without knitting, remove the loop in front of the yarn overs. As a knit stitch, knit the yarn overs together and pull them through the slipped loop.

Method III
1st row: knit until the loop is cut, knit 2 together with a slant to the right, double yarn over, knit 2 together with a slant to the left. 2nd row: purl the yarn overs (the first yarn over for the front wall, the second yarn over for the back).

Method IV
1st row: knit stitches to the cut, double yarn over, knit 2 together with a slant to the left. 2nd row: knit up to the yarn overs, knit the first yarn over, purl the second yarn over.

Knitting loops horizontally

Loop with horizontal cut For buttons medium and large size loops can also be knitted in several ways:

Method 1: for a medium-sized button Throw the working thread over to the front side in front of the removed and unknitted loop. In the front row, close off the loops, the total length of which is equal to the diameter of the button. Knit the row to the end. On the wrong side of the work, cast on the number of stitches equal to the number closed loops minus 1 loop. After casting on air loops, continue the row to the end.

On the right side of the knit, the loop should not be weak or tight. On the wrong side, the knitted fabric should not have any gathering.

Method 2: for a large button, tie to the location of the cut. Close the required number of loops, constantly stretching the loop and applying the button. Knit the row to the end. On the next purl row, cast on the same number of stitches minus one to form the top edge. Move the working thread behind the work. Grasp the working thread with your thumb to form a loop. Put it on the right knitting needle.

When casting on, constantly tighten the working thread to create a tight cast. The loops should be placed without spaces.

Method 3: for a very large button - a voluminous loop. Tie to the location of the cut. Cast off the required number of loops. Pull the last stitch through the unknitted one on the left needle. Leave the resulting loops on the right knitting needle. Bring the working thread to the wrong side. Yarn over between the loops.

When knitting from the purl row, discard the yarn over. This will increase the size of the last stitch. This will allow the opening to stretch when threading a large button.

Horizontal loops

The horizontal cut for the button is formed in two rows. In the first row, the cut loops are secured in a row. In the next row, at the cut site, cast on the same number of loops as were secured. A cast on of one strand will create a neat top edge of the loop. All horizontal loops shown below are made on four loops.

A horizontal cut for a button, designed in two rows. - the most commonly used option.

1. In the first row, knit to the cut point. Then fasten four loops in a row and knit the row to the end.

2. In the next row, knit to the secured loops. Then cast on four loops from one thread and knit the row to the end. On the next row, work the stitches behind the back wall to tighten them.

Method I
1st row: fasten four cut loops in a row. 2nd row: Knit to the cut, including one secured loop, increase one loop (knit through the front and back walls), then cast on three loops.

II method
1st row: bind off three stitches of the cut, slip the last stitch on the left needle, knit it together with the next knit stitch. Row 2: Cast on five stitches above the secured stitches. 3rd row: knit up to one stitch in front of the cast-on stitches, knit k2tog, k3tog, k2tog.

III method
1st row: fasten four cut loops in a row. 2nd row: cast on four loops over the secured loops, insert the right needle with the point towards you under both walls of the first closed loop. Leaving the sides on the knitting needle, knit the row to the end. 3rd row: knit the sides with the last stitch cast on together with the knit stitch.

A horizontal cut for a button can be made in one row, both front and back.

1. Knit to the cut. Pull the second through the first loop, then through the second third, etc. Return the last secured stitch to the left needle and turn the work.

2. Using the twisted cast-on method, cast on five loops and turn the work.

3. Slip the first stitch from the left needle, with the yarn at work, and pull it through the additional cast-on stitch to close the button hole. Knit the row to the end.

Creating Vertical Loops

Gather the loose loops of the part onto a pin. Start making the cut from the wrong side. Yarn over after the first loop. When knitting a yarn over, so as not to create a gap in the knitting, you need to turn it over and knit it with the front one. Continue working as in point 2 until the required number of rows are formed.

Gather the loose loops onto a pin and start knitting the left side of the loop from the front row. When knitting, cut the loops on the right side in the same order in which you added them on the left to maintain their total number.

These are the main methods used to knit buttonholes with knitting needles. It’s worth mastering them well so that the loops come out neat and even. After all, the appearance knitted product With buttons, it largely depends on the correctness and accuracy of making the loops for them. I hope that this article will be useful to beginning needlewomen who are afraid to take on blouses and cardigans with a fastener, fearing that they will not be able to make eyelets beautifully. And of course, I hope that the tips at the beginning of the article will be useful to you.

Vertical hinges

The vertical cut for the button can be made with or without an additional ball. The options are not fundamentally different. Good result is achieved in both the first and second cases. The choice is influenced primarily by the quality of the yarn and the thickness of the thread.

Rice pattern
This cut is not suitable for large buttons. It is used for decorative purposes, such as on a pocket flap. The “rice” pattern is ideal for vertical loop cuts as it is flat.

Double loop
Used on stockinette stitch only in the case of a double strip as shown in the figure. For a neat edge, add an edge loop on each side of the cut.

Combined double loop
When finishing the strip, fold it so that the cut edges match and secure them with a buttonhole stitch.

Buttonhole inside elastic 1 by 1

Vertical holes for buttons look unobtrusive in the elastic band. They disappear miraculously into the purl loops of the elastic.

1 row. Knit the elastic along the wrong side. Where you want to make a hole, knit two from each loop.

2nd row. On the front side, knit according to the pattern until 1 loop remains before the increase loop. Remove 2 loops, as in knitting, separately, transfer both loops to the left knitting needle and knit both loops. Make a double yarn over, knit 2 stitches together.

3rd row. Knit according to the pattern from the wrong side. When there is 1 loop left from the double yarn over, knit 2 loops together purlwise and make a yarn over. Remove 2 loops, as in knitting, separately, transfer both loops to the left knitting needle and purl both loops.

4 row. Work in pattern on the right side, purling each button hole, catching both strands of yarn.

Button loop inside elastic band 2 by 2 (Fig. 6)

1 row. Knit along the right side until there is 1 knit stitch left before the 2 purl stitches where the loop hole will be located. Remove 2 loops, as in knitting, separately, transfer both loops to the left knitting needle and knit both loops, make a double yarn over, knit 2 loops together.

2nd row. Work in pattern on the wrong side until there is 1 stitch left in front of the double yarn over. Knit 2 loops together purlwise, make a double yarn over, slip 2 loops separately as in knitting, transfer both loops to the left knitting needle and purl both loops.

3rd row. Knit the front side according to the pattern. In each of the double yarn overs, knit k1, p1, picking up both threads.

To make the hole small, skip the 2nd row, and knit the 3rd row on the wrong side.

If after knitting the button loop is too loose, take the yarn suitable color and sew up one or both ends (Fig. 7) to make the opening shorter, weaving the thread along the opening to prevent it from stretching. You can also sew a buttonhole stitch around the hole using yarn or sewing thread.

• Even the holes from the yarn overs of the openwork fabric can be used as loops. They just need to be secured with a seam over the edge. Small buttonholes are not needed. Simply push the button through the fabric in the right place.

• The buttonholes you choose depend on the type of garment, the number of buttons, their size and the thickness of the thread. For example, a jacket with large buttons that is often buttoned needs large, strong buttonholes.

• If possible, buy buttons before making buttonholes. Make a density test with the loops to determine if the buttons will fit. The loop should be large enough for the button to slip through. Because knitted material stretches; if the loops are too large, the buttons will come undone. The loop for a flat button should be smaller than the loop for a button on a stem of the same diameter.

• Mark the location of the buttons on the placket with contrasting thread or a safety pin before sewing buttonholes. On the opposite placket, make loops according to the button marks. On women's clothing buttons are sewn on the left side, on the men's side - on the right.

• You need to make two identical loops on the hems so that they match when you fold the bar. To strengthen a loop when knitting with silk or viscose thread, add cotton thread in the color. When making button holes, remember that when you secure stitches on one row, you must replace them with a set of stitches on the next row. The first row is usually done on the front side unless the instructions require otherwise.

Contrast thread method

Another way to make a button cut is using contrasting thread. Knit the cut loops with a contrasting thread, return them to the left knitting needle and knit them again with a working thread.

1. From the wrong side, crochet one loop from each loop along the bottom edge of the cut using a working thread, pick up one loop on the side and slip these five loops from the hook onto a circular knitting needle.

2. In the same way, pick up stitches along the upper edge of the cut and transfer them to a circular needle. Break the thread, leaving an end 20 cm long.

3. Thread the end of the thread into the needle and carefully sew all the loops to the fabric. Then remove the contrast thread.

Double placket buttonholes by Anna Zilboorg

Knit a placket in stocking stitch (half the width of the placket). Author MK Lanna_08.I made slits on three loops at intervals of 8 loops.Knit 3 loops with a contrasting thread.

Move the loops to the left needle and knit with the main thread to the next slot, repeat the operation.

Continue knitting stocking stitch (another half the width of the placket).
Face

Wrong side

Sew a series of purl stitches to hem the placket.

Go to knitting the wrong side
Knit half the width of the placket

Let me remind you that the interval between buttons is 8 loops.
Knit 8 loops, cut the thread, leave a tail of 15 cm.

Next in the work are 3 loops of the slot on the front side

From the wrong side, cast on 4 stitches on an additional needle

Connect the knitting needles and begin stitching with a tapestry needle, using a loop-to-loop stitch.

I will dwell in more detail on the movement of the needle and thread
In the foreground is the main knitting needle, in the second is the additional one

1. Main spoke. Insert the needle into the first loop from the wrong side to the right side (do not drop the loop.)
2. Auxiliary knitting needle. Insert the needle into the first loop from face to back, drop the loop, insert into the second loop from back to face, leave the loop on the knitting needle.
3. Main knitting needle. Insert the needle into the first loop from face to back, drop the loop, insert into the second loop from back to face, leave on the knitting needle.
4 Auxiliary knitting needle. Insert the needle into the first loop from face to back, drop the loop, insert into the second loop from back to face, leave the loop on the knitting needle.
5. Main knitting needle. Insert the needle into the first loop from face to back, drop the loop, insert into the second loop from back to face, leave on the knitting needle.
6. Auxiliary knitting needle. Insert the needle into the first loop from the face to the wrong side, drop the loop, insert into the second loop from the wrong side to the face, leave the loop on the knitting needle
7. Main spoke. There is one loop left, insert a needle into it using a movement from the face to the wrong side, and drop the loop. Insert the needle into the adjacent loop (marked green) movement from the inside to the face.

8. Auxiliary knitting needle. There is one loop left, insert the needle into it and drop it.
This is what happened

The remaining tail is not to be used again.
Attach the thread from the ball (the point of attachment is indicated by the arrow), knit 8 loops,cut the thread again, leave 15 cm

further than the loops, repeat the stitching of the loops using the loop-to-loop method.After completing the row, the face will look like this.

Wrong side

There are 2 tails near each loop, tie them together, cut off the excess

Next, knit the purl row, not forgetting to lift 3 loops on the auxiliary needle from the wrong side.

Continue knitting the bar until the end.

All that remains is to pull out the contrasting thread.

Hem the plank using knotting or any convenient method.

Methods of knitting loops on double elastic band

Master class. Buttonholes with double elastic band 3 ways. I show in detail how to knit longitudinal and transverse loops for buttons on a double (hollow) elastic band; it can also be used on regular fabric. 1st Method: 00:25 2nd Method: 11:26 3rd Method: 18:07

Hinged buttonholes. Securing button holes

Hanging loop: method I

Hanging hinges are made after the work is completed and are used when one or two hinges are needed. They are ideal for thin strips and children's items.

1. Mark the boundaries of the loop with pins. Insert the needle and thread first into one, then into the other mark. Pull the thread through, leaving a loop of the desired size.

2. Make a double thread by inserting the needle again at the first mark. Depending on the size of the loop, the base can be made in three folds.

3. Overcast the base with a buttonhole stitch. To do this, insert the needle under the warp and over the thread, tighten the loop.

Hanging loop: method II

It differs from the loop made using the first method in the type of outer edge. Made with crochet stitch.

1. Mark the extreme points of the hanging loop. Crochet a loop at the top mark and knit a chain of air loops of the desired size.

2. Remove the hook from the loop, insert it into the fabric at the bottom mark, and pull the last loop of the chain through the fabric. Grab the thread and knit.

3. Tie the base of the loop with a row of single crochets. Fasten off the last loop and weave the ends into the fabric.

Securing a button hole

Sometimes even the best buttonholes need to be secured. How to do this depends on the thread and the size of the loop. The buttonhole stitch shown in the figure is universal.

Loop stitch. For this technique, use a whole thread. Sew from right to left and clockwise, inserting the needle point into the center. Don't place the stitches too close or you may distort the hole.

An over-the-edge seam is suitable for small hole-shaped openings.

The seam is over the edge. Place edge stitches evenly along the entire edge of the hole.

How to crochet hanging loops

After the product is completely knitted, hanging loops are knitted. You need to mark a place for the button, then knit a connecting post and a chain of air loops of the required length, skipping the same number of loops in the bottom row.

Clasp on knitted blouse-mk

Materials: a needle with a large eye, buttons, cords knitted by machine or crocheted about 5 cm long (depending on the size of the button)

So, a braid placket is sewn onto my jacket, and we fasten the cord at the seam. But if there is no bar, you just need to step back from the edge of the shelf a couple of centimeters.

Then we make a few stitches from the edge of the bar

And the result

Invisible loop for large buttons

Often in knitted items we knit a buttonhole very simply: two loops together and a yarn over. This buttonhole turns out to be very neat, small and invisible. But for such a loop and buttons should be small. What to do when the buttons are much larger, the placket is wider, and the product itself is a coat, a large loose cardigan or large buttons are determined by the design itself, but at the same time you want the buttonholes to be beautiful, neat and invisible.
