If you only learned to dial loops recently, then you should not take up complex patterns right away, practice making neat front and back rows. Stocking is best suited for this. With it, you can hone the skill of a set of main (facial and wrong) loops. In addition, you will fill your hand and will soon be able to knit so that they are all even. No need to think that this skill is not useful to you. You will get beautiful and neat products only if you learn how to knit identical loops. In addition, it is hosiery knitting that will help you learn how to quickly work with knitting needles.
For those who are taking their first steps in mastering the technique of creating interesting things from ordinary threads, a detailed instruction is useful. So, if you are interested in the technique of hosiery knitting, then most likely you have already learned how to loop. Now is the time to find out what needs to be done next. So, get at least 20 or 30 loops on 2 needles. A smaller amount, although it will help save a little time and labor, will not make it possible to create knitting patterns of the right size for knitting needles, to adequately evaluate the result, and to work out the skills qualitatively.
After collecting the required number of loops, pull out one knitting needle and look at what you got. On the one hand (front) work should be smooth, and on the other a number of nodules have formed. Given that knitting after a set of loops needs to be turned over, it is better to start the first row with the wrong ones. Remove the first loop, enter the right knitting needle in the direction next to it, grab the thread that should go before work, and pull it into the loop. Do not forget to remove the knitted eyelet from the left knitting needle. But this is not stocking, this is just the first row.
Having turned the future canvas, start working on the front side. Remember to remove the first loop, place the thread on the back of the product. Now you need to figure out how to knit facial. Insert the right knitting needle into the second chain in front of its front wall, grab the thread and stretch it. As on the wrong side, do not forget to remove the knitted loop from the left knitting needle. In this way, you need to finish the entire row.
Having mastered a set of front and back loops, you will understand that hosiery knitting is quite simple. You just need to alternate the rows so that on the one hand only the front ones go, and on the other, the purl loops. As a result, the picture of the finished canvas looks like a checkmark on one side and like dash-nodules on the other. Starting with the wrong loops, remember that you will have to knit all the odd rows, but even it will be necessary to knit even ones. By the way, be prepared that the bottom of such a canvas will spin. That is why when creating products it is recommended to start with gum or make a hard edge.
Hosiery helps to identify all the mistakes of beginners. Too tightened or, conversely, loose loops, their curvature and unevenness are striking from the front of the product. You can get rid of them only with time, when you start to knit, without thinking about how, where and when you need to insert the needle, grab and stretch the thread. Then the process will go much faster, and the loops will only be more accurate.
