The methods of holding stick needles are divided into "American style" and "French style". Both methods of holding stick needles are very simple. You can choose any one when learning stick needle knitting. When knitting color matching threads, you can also use two methods to pinch the threads of two colors to knit.
The "French way" of holding a needle with a stick needle: Hang the knitting thread on the index finger of your left hand, then sandwich it between the little finger and ring finger, and then hang the thread on the right needle to knit.
The "American way" of holding a stick needle: Hang the knitting thread on the index finger of your right hand, hang the thread on your right hand for each stitch, and continue knitting in this way.

Wool yarn is generally sized according to the number of needles, and can be roughly divided into three types according to thickness:
The first is high thick thread: when knitting, the width is about 3.3CM (1 inch) with 7-8 stitches, and the length is about 3.3CM with 8-10 stitches. The second is medium thick thread, and the width is 3.3CM with 9 stitches. , the length is 3.3CM based on 10-11 stitches, the third is thin thread, the width is 3.3CM based on 11 stitches, and the length is 3.3CM based on 12-14 stitches. When knitting patterns with these three types of threads, there will generally be an error of 1-2 stitches, so you need to add or subtract stitches appropriately according to the density of the pattern.
The production department shares a more intuitive and accurate calculation method, which is the experimental method: use the selected needles and threads to start with 20 stitches, knit 3.3CM according to the pattern you need, then use a ruler to measure the specific size, and then This is the standard for calculating sweater size.
