For this type of needlework you will need knitting needles and threads. In principle, you can
pick both of them completely arbitrary. But if you want the first masterpiece to inspire you to further creativity, then follow a simple rule: one to three. That is, the thread should be three times thinner than the knitting needle. Now about how to start knitting. For beginners, it is not recommended to choose a complex product. The best training thing can be an ordinary scarf or hat with a simple cut. If everything works out, you can test your strength on a plaid, and then move on to more complex options - jackets, sweaters, ponchos, etc.
Such a simple scarf: how to start knitting
For beginner needlewomen, the simplest pattern is shawl knitting (all rows are knitted with facial loops) or an elastic band. Let us dwell in more detail on the second option. So, we knit a 2x2 elastic band. Dial an even number of loops. Do not forget that the first and last are edge. Now we knit the first row: two front, two wrong. Alternate them to the end of the row. We turn the product over and knit according to the drawing, that is, we sew the wrong loop on the inside, the front - the front. We carry out this simple sequence until we get a beautiful product. Believe me, if you do everything carefully, then, despite the simplicity and plain design, you will get a beautiful scarf. Yes, there is another point that should be considered when deciding where and how to start knitting. For beginners, it is best to choose products in which you have to repeat the same action many times. This is a kind of training for the fingers. Having tied several scarves or simple vests, you will beat your hand. Rows will become even: eyelet to eyelet.
We select a product more difficult
There are a lot of options for all kinds of beautiful sweaters and blouses in magazines. They are accompanied by recommendations and schemes. At first glance, it seems that they are simple to execute. In fact, this is not entirely true. Knitting patterns for beginners should not be overly complicated. What does it mean? Take the circuit, consider it well. Nearby, decoding of the icons is necessarily indicated. Do you understand all the notation? If the answer is yes, then you can start knitting the product. If in doubt, it is better to choose a different model. With experience, you will be able to knit everything that you want, without thinking much about what is there and how. To start knitting (for beginners the most difficult thing is to take the first step - to study the signs and learn how to properly knit loops) - this means opening the door to the amazing, exciting world of needlework. Having dealt with the basics and gradually comprehended the wisdom of the technique in question, you can dress yourself and your household without much effort. Just do not rush to understand everything at once. Gradual mastery of the knitting technique is much more effective. That is, it is recommended to train your skills step by step, from product to product. Then in a year you can take up the masterpiece without worrying about the
quality of the loops and the evenness of the rows.
How to read the description
Recommendations for the implementation of a well-defined product abound in incomprehensible first badges and abbreviations. This language needs to be mastered. For example, p. - loop, n. - yarn and so on. Often in the text the word "report" is found. This is a special concept denoting a piece of a drawing that is repeated. Carefully consider the scheme, carefully read the text. Everything will fall into place. At first, it is better to opt for products from the section "Knitting for beginners." The description there is more detailed, detailed.
If you consistently follow all the recommendations, then the myth that knitting is a delicate matter will quickly disappear from your head. It turns out that everything is much simpler.
