Lessons for beginners knitters. Stitch without crochet hook

To date, crochet isvery popular kind of needlework: both among young people, and among the elderly. After all, with the help of this technique, you can do a lot of things, from a phone case or a stylish bag decorated with beads to clothes and carpets. This art can be used even by children, because hooks of large enough size are safe (in comparison with needles and pins). The knitting mechanics develops fine motor skills and instills patience and perseverance, and the process calms and pacifies.

The undeniable advantage of crochetis that, depending on the chosen yarn and hook, you can either quickly make a large product (raincoat, carpet), or create an airy, almost weightless spiderweb (napkins), or find the golden mean that best fits for a particular purpose. This freedom justifies the breadth of application of this technique.

But whatever the product does not fit, the basic techniquesremain unchanged. And the basic element in this kind of needlework is a column without a crochet hook. This is exactly the technique that is mastered immediately after the chain of air loops, without which, in principle, it is impossible to start any work.

So, what is a column without a crochetcrocheted? In order to create it, you need to type a chain of air loops (or already have a knitted fabric of some length). Knitting is done from the right to the left. Do not be confused by the photos of this lesson. They are very good for a left-hander, but a person knitting with his right hand should do everything in a mirror image.

If you start working with a chain of loops, then youInsert the hook into the second (counting from the hook) loop. If you start a new series in an existing canvas, you first need to dial one air loop (a loop of rotation, as it is often called experienced knitters).

After that, you need to grab a working thread.

And pull it through the loop, into which you passed the hook in the first step.

After that, we again grab the working thread.

And we stretch it through both loops, which are on the hook.

The first column without the crochet crochet is ready. Further knitting continues along the same pattern, inserting a hook into the adjacent loops of the base.

Columns without a crochet can be tied by threeways. The hook can be inserted under both half loops of the base (standard knitting). Either only under one - front or rear (relief column without a crochet). Also these alternatives can be alternated. Many variants of mating are created precisely due to this technique (for example, an elastic band).

Thus, the column without the crochet hookis the main method of this type of knitting. All other columns (with a crochet, two crochet, etc.) are modifications of this one. If you master the columns without the crochet, then all the other tricks will be given to you quite easily. Yes, and using only this technique, you can connect many beautiful and original things.
