To begin with, weโll make a hobby basket to help ourselves. Then all the tools and threads you will always be in order and in one place. We take a basket, you can a box,
measure its internal dimensions. Sketch and pattern. Transfer the template to the fabric, cut it out. We outline the location of pockets, try on with tools. We flash all the pockets. Iron with an iron. We process the edges. Sew on the bottom. Insert the case into the basket. We connect the fabric with the body, we fix the upper edge and the bottom with threads. When knitting, it is convenient to put yarn in such a box, then the ball will not โrunโ around the room, and all the necessary tools will be at hand.
Let's get down to the knitting process itself. Recall labor lessons, as we were taught at school to knit front and back loops. You can master the art of knitting on your own! Train in a set of loops, tie samples of simple elastic bands. You can come up with your own schemes, alternating front and back loops. All this is very easy. It may not be perfect at first, but patience and practice will bear fruit.
Typical mistakes for beginners are the following: they too tighten the thread, loops
make it so tight and small that itโs hard even to โsqueezeโ another needle into them. Or, on the contrary, the thread is too weak, the loops are long, the spokes "jump out" of them. As a result of such knitting, the product will turn out shapeless and stretched. Density and speed of knitting comes with experience. Do not pay attention to this, continue to master needlework. You yourself will not notice how the problems disappear, and the density of knitting becomes uniform.
Choose the number of needles according to the diameter of the yarn. If the number is not indicated, take the needle about 1.5 times thicker than the thread. It is impossible to wind the yarn tightly into a ball, it loses its elasticity and stretches.
