Air loop. A chain of air loops
Starting today, we are starting a series of articles forbeginning knitters. The audience of our site is not only experienced needlewomen, but also beginners, who only took in hand. Often they have the most basic questions about the simplest things. Especially for them, we decided to prepare several articles on the basics of knitting. All this is already on kru4ok.ru in the section, but in a series of these articles we will try to tell about everything in as much detail as possible. Also we are always glad to the amendments and advice of experienced needlewomen, write your comments at the end of the article. After all, we all started somewhere, let's help others. This way we can collect as much information as possible for those who are just starting to crochet. In the first article, we describe how to start knitting, what is an air loop and a chain of air loops. In order to start knitting you need to type a chain of air loops. There are many ways to knit the first loop, with this first loop and start any crochet. There are a lot of options, we will give some of them: Variants of knitting of the first loop: 
The first loop is ready, we begin to knitan air loop, more precisely a chain of air loops. We grasp the working thread (the thread that goes from the tangle) with a hook and pull it through the first loop. Do not tighten the working thread, the hook must pass freely through the hinges. Try to keep all air loops about the same size. To do this, you must maintain the same thread tension. The hook should remain in one position, it is not necessary to twist the head of the hook. The head looks down when knitting, when you stretch the working thread through the previous one. Spray 5-10 air loops, and you will get a chain of air loops. A chain of air loops is the basis of crochet. In the crochet pattern, the air loop is indicated by a dot or a circle. Read the legend to the schematic, so as not to be mistaken. Methods for designating air loops in the scheme: 
How to Keep a Crochet for Knitting for Beginnersit is important to learn correctly, keep the hook and knit. The hook is held in the right hand like a pencil. If the hook has a flat dent, the hook must be kept in this place. The hook can not be turned in all directions. Thread and binding should be kept in the left hand. During the knitting process, a chain of loops will be formed along the upper edge, under which the hook is inserted. At the same time, in each loop, an external half-loop is distinguished - a half loop, located on the outside of the blade, and an inner half loop - a half loop, located on the inside of the blade. From that, under which half loop (or under the entire loop) a hook is inserted, the pattern of the binding depends.
