Knitting is one of those hobbies that brings not only pleasure from the process itself, but also an excellent result. Beautiful products - a real reward for the master, who invested a lot of her imagination and labor in its manufacture. One of the most important skills is the ability to correctly add loops in different ways.
How to add loops on spokes?
There are many ways to add loops, some can be considered simple, and others - more complex. Let's start with the simplest: adding loops with crochets. This method allows you to add loops at the beginning or end, and in the middle of the row, creating a harmonious combination with the existing loops. Adding loops from the broach is a simple and understandable way that even a beginner knitter can do.
By itself, broaching is a kind of connection between two neighboring loops on the right and left spokes. Of course, you can add loops from the broaches both on the front and on the back, the effect will be the same, it all depends on the author's idea or recommendations in the knitting pattern. But in fact, everything is simple: it is tiresome to translate the broach to the right knitting needle and then simply to tie it with the right one, either the front or the back, with a loop.
How correctly to add loops and what to do with them further?
Adding loops while knitting with knitting needles allows creating interesting combinations of loops, increasing the canvas in accordance with the pattern. Among the most applicable methods today use the addition of loops at the end of the series or at its beginning. There are also some secrets: you can add one loop, then everything is more or less simple, you just need to double-loop the same loop, and you can add several at once. Here, the technology changes slightly: in the first loop from the beginning of the row, you need to insert a spoke (front loop) and draw the thread. It is with this elongated eyelet that the operation of adding loops is performed exactly as many times as the loops need to be added.
In general, the process of adding loops needs to be approached responsibly. To make the canvas look good and not "happy" with holes, the loops need to be added sufficiently tightly so that they fit organically into the overall concept of knitting. There is a very interesting way of adding at the end of the series, which is called Italian: the point is that the set of loops in this case is done with the help of the index finger. A loop is made on it, wrapping the working thread, and then with the right knitting needle, passing through it, grasping the thread and already fixing the future loop by it.
There is nothing difficult in the fact that when knitting correctly add loops. Although, of course, this process will require increased attention. Experienced master knows many ways and can determine by eye what kind of one will suit in this or that situation. Well, and beginners can be advised to follow closely the description,
Knitting is a complex process, especially when it comes to products with darts, interesting shapes, decorative features. But it's not difficult to learn how to knit correctly, it's only necessary to show patience and endurance, then a new sweater or coat will please me incredibly.
