Go to knitting. We start with a series of air loops.Further: from each air loop we pull out the working thread, it turns out as when knitting with needles. On the hook remains the number of loops equal to the loops of the dial-up row. And now we knit two loops, until only one loop remains in the work. And again we collect loops, as when knitting. The process seems complicated until you started to knit. In fact, the technology is simple.
