13 way to create beauty:learning how to cast on stitches on knitting needles We begin making any product using knitting needles with the standard procedure - casting on stitches. There are many options and methods for casting on stitches, which in their harmonious combination will help you create a beautiful thing with your own hands. It should be noted that each option for casting on stitches has its own advantages. Each of them can provide a particular pattern for your product, as well as the appearance of the edge of the fabric. Having studied the various options for casting on stitches, you will be able to correctly and rationally design knitted products, while avoiding unnecessary tasks. So, let's begin our lesson. Method 1. The classic option for casting on stitches. It is the most popular type of casting on stitches when knitting. Most often, it is used at the very beginning of the knitting process. Having chosen this knitting method, the needlewoman can, after creating the 1st row, begin making the fabric with the pattern she likes.At this time, you need to put the thread from the ball intoleft hand. The end of the thread that hangs down should be twice as long as the required width of your future product. Next, you need to draw the thread along the clock arrow near the thumb of your left hand and leave it on the index finger. The ends of the thread should be clamped in the palm of your left hand (photo 1, B). Then 2 knitting needles, which are folded together, should be inserted into the loop, which is located on the thumb. In this case, you need to pick up the thread located on the index finger and pull it through the loop lying on the thumb (photo 1, B). Next, you need to drop the loop from this finger and help it and the pad of the index finger to secure the loop formed on the knitting needle (illustration 1, G). You need to lower the knitting needles down, while simultaneously holding the created loop with the index finger of your right hand. Next, we create loops using a similar method (photo 1, D). To prevent the bottom chain from wrapping around the knitting needle, all subsequent new loops should be held with the index finger of the right hand. Method 2. Cord-like. With this type of knitting, the edge of your fabric will look decorative. We recommend using this type of loop set for mohair products to strengthen the lower edge of the fabric. Having chosen this knitting method, you can start making the fabric with the pattern you like after creating the first row.The loops of the first row are made from the main thread, andthe chain of the lower edge is made of a more voluminous thread. To create a more voluminous thread, you need to fold the main edge of the skein 3 times (photo 3, A). The yarn should be arranged so that the main thread is located on the tip of the index finger of the left hand, the voluminous one is on the tip of the thumb of the same hand, and loop A is located at a distance between these two fingers (photo 3, B). We connect 2 knitting needles together and pass them through loop A, passing it under the main thread (photo 3, B). Loop A, created from the main thread, on the knitting needles forms the 1st loop of our set.It is necessary to move the spokes downwards, whilecarefully holding the previously created loop with the index finger of the right hand. We knit further in a similar way (photo 3, G). 3rd method. This type of set of loops will provide good stretching for the edge of the fabric, so you can use it both at the first stage of knitting and when expanding the fabric, when you add a large number of loops. Having chosen this knitting method, you will be able to start making the fabric with the pattern you like after creating the first row. Most often, certain difficulties when using this type of set are caused by determining the length of the thread tip for creating loops. In this method of set, we will need the unoccupied edge only to create the 1st loop, made with the 1st knitting needle and the traditional method.Next, you need to take the knitting needle with the loop in the left onehand, and in the other hand - the knitting needle, which is free. The loop is created using the front knitting method, and then it needs to be placed on the left knitting needle (photo 5, A). The loop that was pulled through is put back on the left knitting needle (photo 5, B). As a result, there will be two loops on this knitting needle. The 2nd loop is also created using the front knitting method, and then left on the same knitting needle.We put the loop that we pulled through back onknitting needle on the left. In the same way, we make a set of all the loops we need. Method 4. This type of loop creation will provide a good shape, due to the small stretch. It can be used both at the initial stage of knitting, and when expanding the fabric, when you add a large number of loops, and also when creating loops for buttons. Having chosen this knitting method, you can already after creating the first row begin to make the fabric with the pattern you like.In this type of set we also have a free endYou will only need to create the 1st loop made with the 1st knitting needle and in the traditional way. Next, you need to take the unoccupied knitting needle in your left hand, and in the other - the knitting needle where the loop is made. We carry out a yarn over of the main thread on the knitting needle on the left. Immediately, we grab it with the right knitting needle behind the other, then we pull the thread through the loop located on the right knitting needle (photo 6, B). As a result, the knitting needle on the left will acquire the 1st loop. Again, we carry out a yarn over of the main thread on the knitting needle on the left and pass it through the loop on the other. Then the number of loops that you need should be created on the knitting needle on the left, and on the right one there should always be one loop, relatively long, through which it will be convenient to pass the thread. Finishing the cast-on, we move this loop from the right to the left knitting needle. Method 5. Option "Bulgarian". With this type of loop creation, the edge of your product will have a relief structure. This is achieved by dialing loops and the first 3 rows. We begin to apply the desired pattern only after 3 rows have been knitted.You need to dial it in the classic waythe number of loops you need. Leave a cast-on thread that is twice as long as the fabric itself. Then knit like this: First row: knit two loops together with a double thread, grabbing the back threads; Second row: create a face stitch with the main thread; Third row: make all the loops using the purl stitch, and create the broaches by working with the face loops. Method 6. The so-called "fringed edge". This type of cast-on is used when knitting scarves, mittens, and when decorating women's and children's clothing. By choosing this knitting method, you can start making the fabric with the pattern you like after creating the first row. The threads are on the left hand, as it was in the standard set of loops. Putting 2 knitting needles together, knit the first loop (photo 1, B, C, D).After this, we pass 2 knitting needles through the loop onthumb, while grabbing the threads from the index finger. In this case, you should bring the threads through the loop on the thumb (photo 8, B). Then you need to release this finger, and with its help tighten the knot under the knitting needles themselves. Then release the index finger of the left hand and put the thread on it. In this way, you should dial the required number of loops, simultaneously adjusting the desired length of the fringes with this index finger. The loops that you knit will be 2 (photo 8, B). When creating the 1st row, you need to knit the double loops together, as if one loop. Method 7. "Condensed edge". This type of set of loops is well suited for finishing the product. It perfectly preserves the shape of the finished fabric and decorates the initial part of the "garter" pattern and "elastic". The density is provided by the created loops and the 1st row. We use the “rib” or “garter” knitting patterns after we knit the 1st row of the edge.The threads should be positioned in such a way thatthe main thread was on the left index finger, the bulky one was on the thumb of the left hand, and the loop "A" was located in the space between this finger and the index finger (photo 3, B). 2 knitting needles, which are folded together, need to be inserted into loop A, passing under the main thread (photo 3, B). Loop A and the central thread on the knitting needles form the 1st loop of the set. To create the 3rd loop, you need to insert the knitting needles under the triple thread from the inside of the thumb (photo 9, B), and then remove the loop. We cast on loops alternately: sometimes from the outside, sometimes from the inside relative to the left thumb. The result is a row of loops that are located in pairs (except for the edge loops). To get openwork circles, you need to knit one row, using face loops, but do not forget to create a yarn over in front of all pairs of loops, and knit the paired loops together with one face, passing them through the back parts of the thread. Method 8. "Thickened fringe". This type of initial creation of loops is used when knitting scarves, mittens, for finishing products for women and children. Having chosen this knitting method, you can start making the fabric with the pattern you like after creating the first row.The threads are on the left hand, as it was inthe seventh method of casting on loops. However, here after all the pairs of loops it is necessary to make 2 yarns from a thick thread (photo 10, B). To create a fringe, make one row: knit all the loops with the front ones, and remove the yarns from the left knitting needle. They will form the fringe. The ninth method. With this type of casting on, the edge will lie flat, without pulling the knitted fabric. This type of casting on is used when creating open loops in a product. Outwardly, this method of casting on will be similar to machine knitting. To cast on loops, you need to use a thread of a contrasting shade, which you will then remove. To ensure the elasticity of the edge, knitting should be done with one knitting needle. The ends of the main and side threads should be folded and tied into a knot. The knitting needle should be inserted into the knot under the main thread. This type of casting on is used in the process of knitting scarves, mittens, for finishing products for women and the little ones. By choosing this knitting option, you can start making the fabric with the pattern you like after creating the first row.The threads are on the left hand, the main thread– on the tip of the index finger, the side – on the tip of the thumb (photo 11, B). We cast on the loops using the traditional method. The loops on the knitting needle will be knitted from the main thread, and the bottom – from the side thread. When the required number of loops is cast on, the side thread can be cut off. If after casting on you will immediately have a “rib” pattern, then the first two rows should be created with “the 2nd elastic”: 1st row: knit 1 loop as the front one, remove the next one without knitting. In this case, the thread should pass in front of the loop that was removed. 2nd row: loops removed in the 1st row are knitted with the front knitting; knitted loops must be removed. However, the thread should pass in front of the removed loop. And already from the 3rd row we use the pattern "elastic band 1*1". The tenth method. "Edge of open loops". This option is used in cases when in the future it will be necessary to knit in the opposite direction. The loops are cast on using two knitting needles of the same diameter.The thread arrangement is similar to the 1stoption. Knit the 1st loop with the knitting needle on the right. Then pass the thread between the 2 knitting needles in the right hand, after which we put it on the knitting needle (photo 13, A). Pass the thread that was on the tip of the thumb between our knitting needles and it will remain on the knitting needle from above (photo 13, B). Then alternate. If the cast-on is done correctly, there will be 1 created row on the knitting needles (photo 13, B).Having completed the set of loops, the knitting needle must be moved downwardsbring out, and all the loops of the bottom will remain on the fishing line from this knitting needle. The upper loops are used to knit the main pattern. The eleventh method. "Edge with scallops". To make this set, you need to use a hook and a thinner knitting needle. The volume of the knitting needle and hook is proportional to the size of the scallops. Having chosen this knitting option, you will already start making the product with the pattern you like after creating the first row.The knitting needle and hook must be taken in handso that the hook is positioned with the base facing up and slightly above the knitting needle itself. Next, make eight air loops, using the loop from the thumb of the left hand (photo 15, A). The ninth loop should be created on the hook itself.After this, you need to pass the hook through the loops,holding them with two fingers of the left hand. Knit all 8 loops according to this principle. Creating the 1st row using the main pattern, in the center of all the scallops you need to add one 2 loops (with yarns). The twelfth method. A regular set of loops. It is used when creating relief patterns. For elasticity of the edge, loops need to be created on 2 knitting needles, and then the second one should be picked up.The thread should be one and a half meters long.- two centimeters for each loop and another twenty centimeters for increases. Method thirteen. "Cross" edge. For those who want to make the edge of a knitted product in an unusual way, we can recommend this type of loop cast-on. It is best suited for those knitting options when after the cast-on edge there is a "rib" pattern.Having studied in detail the above methods of casting on stitches, you will be able to endow the future product with all the necessary qualities at the beginning of the knitting process.
