How to knit the facial loops with knitting needles?

Knitting starts with the basics. Of course, in the head of a creative needlewoman there are many ideas that you want to realize as soon as possible. But if the skill is not enough, frustration comes quickly. How to be, if in a dead end can drive, for example, such questions: how to knit a front loop with a slant to the left or what is a garter stitch? Then I want to quit this difficult occupation and no longer take up the spokes. That's why you need to start from the very beginning, from the basics. Having mastered simple things, you can start knitting whole products without fear of making mistakes.

Knitting with knitting needles is based on the front and back loops, the alternation of which creates beautiful canvases. Here we start and learn how to knit the front and back loops.

Where to begin?

Any knitted product with knitting needles starts with a set of loops. This is a separate topic, as there are a great variety for different types of knitting: for gum, for facial smoothness, for purl, for a dense edge or, conversely, for loose and elastic. If you are reading about knitting the front and back loops, then you are already familiar with the set.

Before you understand how to knit the facial loops, let's talk a little about the density of knitting. First you need to choose the right tools. The size of the spokes affects a lot. It happens that because of incorrectly selected spokes, the loops do not "fall" into the canvas, the pattern looks either too tight, or loose and shapeless. Much depends on how tight the master knits. Everyone has his own individual style: someone loves a dense canvas and knits rather tight, and someone more comfortable to knit more freely. When choosing spokes, this individual feature must also be taken into account. If the craftsman knits tightly, and also the spokes will be smaller than the recommended ones for the chosen yarn, then the product will turn out to be tightened, stiff and unpleasant in the sock. And if the needlewoman works freely, knitting with even thicker knitting needles, the product will not hold a shape at all, and after washing it will stretch at all.

Basic loops

In order to learn, it is not enough to know how to knit facial loops. In addition to just facial and purl loops, there are several more types, the names of which you need to know. All of them are derived from the basic ones.

• Edgeband. These are the loops that begin and end a rectangular canvas. Thanks to them the product does not stretch on the sides. At the beginning of each row, the edge loop is removed unrolled, and at the end it always knits wrong.
• Crossed. Such loops are often found in Asian schemes. The product associated with crossed facial loops looks original, and the structure is dense and elastic.
• Slight. These are the loops that result from tying two or three loops together to make the canvas narrower. This is useful when tying the sleeve of a raglan, sweaters, dresses and other items.
• Additive. It can be nakidy, which participate in openwork patterns, or loops, which are needed to add width of the canvas. They are tied in several ways, for example, from the broach of the previous row or by tying two loops out of one.
• Stretched. This is a kind of removed loops. They are used for knitting of original and warm products.
• English. These loops are connected by a special English method, when the spoke is inserted not into a loop located on the spoke, but into its middle. The product made in this way is very airy, and the canvas is embossed.

Face loop

How to knit facial loops? To answer this question, you need to know how the loops are arranged. They all have a front and a back wall. The front is the one that is located in front of the spoke, the rear behind. Below them is a broach.

The face loop knits as to which wall the previous one is to us. To do knitting by the front wall, enter the needle from left to right, pull out the thread and lower the loop from the knitting needle.

To knit by the rear wall, insert the needle from right to left and in the same way pull out the working thread.

Facetted crossed

How correctly to knit an obverse loop crossed? As described earlier, Asian masters are very fond of this method, they often meet in the schemes of Japanese and Chinese magazines on needlework. What is the essence of the crossed eyelet? Its base is crossed, as if it was turned in the opposite direction.

To connect a crossed loop, insert the spoke behind the rear wall from the right to the left. If the next row is crossed with the wrong one, then in the subsequent face row the needle will have to be inserted from the front wall from left to right.

Wrong loop

Wrong loops in the facial smoothness make up all even rows. We hold the working thread in front of the working cloth. We insert the spokes from right to left, grab the yarn and stretch it towards "from ourselves."

Crossed and there are purlins. In order to connect them, you must also place the yarn in front of the working cloth, and the needle must be entered from left to right, grab the thread from top to bottom and pull it out.

Two facial with a slope

How to knit a front loop with a slant left? And for what it may be necessary? In some products, you need to loosen the loops in such a way that a beautiful neat pigtail with a slope in one direction or another is formed. Also it is necessary for many openwork ornaments. In them, nakidy alternate with two hinges connected together.

The slope can be to the right or to the left. The slope to the left is also called the broach. In some schemes, it is indicated. How to knit a front loop with a broach?

To do this, remove the first loop on the right knitting needle, the second knit the front, and now use the left knitting needle, put the loop off on the knitted one. There is another way: turn the first loop to make the rear wall front, and now tie both eyelets behind the back wall.

And if the slope should be on the right side, then you need to enter the spoke from left to right first into the second, then into the first loop and tie them together behind the front wall.

Now that you know how to knit the facial loops together, you can safely take on the execution of simple openwork patterns.

Three loops together

Often in the schemes there is such a designation as "tie three facial together." Most often, to make the canvas look beautiful, three facial need to be tied so that the middle one is on top. How to knit 3 facial loops? 3 loops will fit beautifully if you first change the first and second places (for this we remove them on the right knitting needle, inserting it first into the second, then into the first loop, and in this twisted position we return back to the left knitting needle). And now we'll fasten all three hinges of the front for the back wall.

Now that you know how to properly knit the front and back loops, you can start working on simple but interesting products.
