It is probably difficult to find a woman who would not know about that type of needlework, like knitting. This craft is traditionally taught to girls at school. True, for some it becomes a favorite pastime. They acquire various yarns, learn to knit more and more patterns, each year more and more honing their skills. Others, having left the walls of the educational institution, completely forget what the crochet technique is. However, after some time they often return to this type of needlework when they begin to teach their own children. Then the question arises: "What is a connecting column, and in what cases is it tied out?"
In this case, you have to either remember what was studied at school, or acquire special literature, which contains information on this issue. Moreover, you can find the corresponding pictures not only in books, but also in magazines.
To begin with, it is worth talking about how he gets out. For this, we note that the connecting column has other names. Perhaps you have already met some of them, and therefore you can cope without problems if necessary. So, this element is often called a half-column, a connecting loop, a blind loop. The first name became more widespread. It can be found in many diagrams and descriptions.
Knit the connecting column must be very tight. The product manufacturing quality will directly depend on this. If the loop turns out to be free, an ugly hole may form in the knitted item in this place, which will ruin its appearance. Therefore, it is worth approaching its execution extremely carefully and accurately.
A connecting post is present in any product made by crocheting. It doesn’t matter if it fits in a circle or straight. With it, attachment is made at the desired point. It is also widely used if it is necessary to process or fix the edge. Often, with its help, loops are reduced at the edges of the product. Many, using this column, sew various parts of the product.
This element is especially popular in the manufacture of things using the Irish lace method, as it allows you to combine motifs and knit a chain in which only the wrong side will be involved. In the latter case, a chain of air loops is knitted. Then the work is turned over so that the hook is on the right side of it. After that, it is introduced into the penultimate and last loops through which the working thread is pulled.
If the needlewoman prefers ribbon lace, then here it is impossible to do without this connecting element, since it best allows you to transfer knitting from one point to another. The scope of this element, of course, is not limited to this. It can also be used if crocheting and knitting are required. Then it can be used to attach various decorative elements to the main canvas.
