Technique
Basis Knots:
- The knitted fabric begins by placing a slipknot in the loop of the crochet hook (although other methods, such as a magic ring or simply twisting the yarn can be used) and pulling another loop into the first loop.
- Repeat this process until a chain of appropriate length is created.
- You either turn the chain and work in rows, or you connect it to its beginning with a dumb carousel (sliding stitch) and it works in rounds.
- Rounds can also be created by working multiple stitches (carousels) on a loop. Carousels are made by pulling one or more loops through each loop of the chain.
- At any time, at the end of a carousel, there is only one loop left on the crochet hook.
- Like needlework, crochet can be done either flat or in a circle.
Knitted bags
- take one wallet clasp and create a basis along with the thread on the clasp.
- pass the needle through the thread and create six knots.
- continue this process according to the shape you want your wallet to have.
- after completing the main part of the wallet, the wallet clasp needs to be added
- apply the bag clasp to the sewed material.
- using a thin needle, start sewing the bag clasp with the knitted part
