The whole principle of hand knitting is based on the formation of loops and their interlacing. This process uses only one working thread, which will help you make a beautiful product.

A good hand knitting result depends on the correct choice of the number of knitting needles. They should be quite strong, do not bend, light and completely smooth so as not to touch the fibers of the thread. Also, knitting needles must be selected according to the size of the selected yarn.
There are a variety of types of knitting needles for hand knitting: auxiliary, regular, circular and even hosiery. The material from which the knitting needles are made can also be different: wood, metal, bones and plastic. Each type has its pros and cons.
Natural and synthetic threads are suitable for knitting. Nowadays, you can buy knitting threads of various textures and colors.
But you need to remember only one thing, very thin threads are completely unsuitable for knitting, it turns out to be loose and such a product wears out quickly. Mostly for hand knitting, threads such as wool, angora, acrylic and mohair are used. You can also combine two types of threads, for example, wool with angora, they go well. Today there are two types of knitting: it is cylindrical and flat.
Flat knitting is done with only two needles and a working thread. We start the first row from right to left, the second row – in reverse order. The first row will be the front side, and the second row will be the wrong side. With the help of this type knit sweaters, scarves, jumpers.
With the help of a cylindrical type, small items are knitted like socks, gloves, mittens, leggings. Knitting is done with stocking or circular knitting needles. And the rows are knitted in a circle, while the wrong side is inside the product.
