Knitting Dictionary: Knitting Resumes

Knitting in needlework how many methods do you know?
Irons or Crochet?

Here is the second installment of our column ” the knitting dictionary.”
Knitting resumption is a delicate step that sometimes creates a lot of difficulties especially if you are a knitting beginner.
But it is also an important step if you want to create more structured garments with irregular and fashionable patterns.

Mesh shooting is done when needed to continue knitting on an already finished part: for example, to pick up meshes for a finishing edging or to start another knitting part in the opposite direction to the first.
It is then obtained by picking up the meshes from the already completed part.

To do this we can either use an iron or crochet, let’s see how?

Shooting with iron

When to use it:

It is fine to use it to start a finishing edge.

How to:

You must patiently gather, with the iron, the yarn in front of each link of the closing chain stitch of a finished work.
New stitches picked up in this way allow you to continue only in the same direction as the work from which the stitches were picked up.
Proceed from right to left, entering from the other side down. in the front strand of each link of the closing chain stitch then work the links directly with the second iron.

Straight crochet resumption

When to use it:

It is good to use when you have to work on a very tightly knit piece.
It allows you not to force the elasticity of the already worked knits and allows you to follow the outline, for example the rounding of the neck lap , without forming unsightly holes.

How to:

You should point the crochet hook in the center of a stitch, under the interlacing chain of the piece already worked; take the yarn of the new work and pull out a stitch and crochet it over iron.

Shooting with crochet in reverse

 

When to use it:

If you want a super easy method, because it gives you a way to follow the first iron of the new work on the right side of the “worked piece”

How to:

Hold the work with the reverse side toward you, insert the crochet hook under the first stitch and pull out the yarn, pass it over the iron and pull slightly.

 

Crochet shot Along a vivian

When to use it:

It is used to continue the work in a perpendicular direction.

How to:

Since the vivagno does not always look regular, the stitches must be picked up with the crochet hook along the rib of the penultimate stitch of the knitting.
Again once you have passed the yarn into the knit with the crochet hook you must pass it over the iron.
In order not to have too many stitches if you knit plain, one trick is to pick up 2 stitches yes and one no; while in lace one yes one no (i.e., all the beads)
