Selection of yarn and hook

Here everything depends only on the expected result. First of all, you should decide on the color and material of the yarn used. At this point, everything is purely individual, because the lace can subsequently be used to decorate completely different products.

But the thickness and density of the knitting will directly depend on the size of the hook. The thicker the thread, the larger the hook you should choose. This will make the loops more airy and attractive.

Important! If you can’t decide on the hook size, then You can buy a whole set at a craft store. Such kits are cheaper than if you buy several hooks separately.

You can experiment at home and choose the most suitable tool.

Step-by-step description of knitting with pattern

Stages of work:

1. We throw two air loops onto the hook. To make the tip of the caterpillar neat, do not tighten the first loop.
2. Insert the hook into the first loop and pull the thread through it. The thread remains on the tool with 2 turns.
3. We connect both threads with a single crochet stitch.
4. We turn the product to the left so that the working thread remains behind.
5. We thread the hook into the formed bow, catch the thread and take it out.
6. We knit a loop with a single crochet.
7. We again insert the hook under the broach, hook it and pull out the thread. We combine two loops.
8. Continue knitting until the desired length of rope is achieved.

For convenience, you can use various knitting patterns for this lace as cheat sheets.
