Required Tools

The main tools of work, of course, are the hook or knitting needles. They are on sale from various materials:

• metal;
• plastic;
• bone;
• wooden.

Large selection of knitting needles for knitting a variety of products

The “right” knitting needles have their own characteristics: they must be well polished and not be too pointed, so as not to injure your hands. At the same time, stupid tools to connect a quality product also fail, as well as uneven ones.

If the knitted blanket is made of light yarn, you can use plastic or bone knitting needles: the heavy material will bend them.

They differ in material, number and shape: for different products - their own. The numbers correspond to the diameter of the knitting needles: No3 - 3mm, No6 - 6mm and are directly related to the thickness of the yarn - should exceed it by 2 times.

In addition to the needles, you may need other tools.

An iron, a notebook and drawing accessories can be useful for the design of patterns and drawings.
