The beginning and end of a hand-knitted piece
Everything you need to know about the 'starting point' and 'closing point' that determine strength, elasticity, and decorativeness.

The number of techniques introduced in this book is 41 for starting the nose and 34 for blocking and connecting the nose.
There are so many knitting techniques in the world that the number of techniques selected and included is as follows.
However, the fact that so many techniques were developed means that a variety of techniques were needed.
Each knitting has its own appropriate technique depending on its characteristics, purpose, and design.
If you use a technique that doesn't match the beginning and end without much thought, you'll end up with some unsatisfactory aspects, such as the foundation of the beginning part sticking out and looking awkward, sleeves or necklines that need elasticity feeling stuffy, or parts that need to be finished solidly looking weakly wide.


This handbook introduces starting stitches, block stitches, and tying techniques that can be selected according to the knitting base or purpose to enhance the perfection of knitting.
The main characteristics of each technique are explained in an easy-to-understand manner, and techniques that are slightly modified from the basic technique, techniques that knit with a single color and techniques that knit with multiple colors, techniques that have the same shape but different knitting processes, and paired start-stop techniques are explained.
The icons at the top of the page indicate the number of yarn strands and needle type used, as well as whether the stitch is suitable for the four basic knitting patterns: knitting, rubber, knitting needles, and garter stitch.
The radar chart provides an at-a-glance overview of five key characteristics, including difficulty, flexibility, and robustness.
Tips, compiled in bite-sized chunks or applied versions, contain useful information that will make knitting easier.
Since many knitters use English patterns and the names of techniques are often known in English, the English names are written in Korean and the English names are also written when first mentioned to help people become familiar with the English names.
Let's learn various techniques and use them appropriately.


Cast On, Getting Started is Half the Battle!
The method of starting the stitch varies depending on the purpose of the knit.

A cast on is the stitch you grab when you start knitting, and is called a cast on (CO) in English.
The most commonly used cast-ons are the long-tail cast-on, commonly known as the "regular cast-on," the loop cast-on, also known as the "roll-on cast-on," and the provisional cast-on, also known as the "later-unrolled cast-on" or the "separate chain cast-on." However, there are 41 different cast-on techniques included in this book.
Based on the knitting method, it is divided into 'starting stitch made by hanging on the finger', 'starting stitch of the wrapping type', 'starting stitch made by knitting', and 'starting stitch with a purpose', and each has big and small differences in the finished appearance and knitting base characteristics.


When choosing a nose bridge, you should consider a variety of factors, including shape, direction of travel, flexibility and firmness, and combination with the nasal obstruction technique.
Let's take a look at the descriptions of each technique and find out which starting point would be suitable for the piece you want to create.
Not only can it create design points or add practicality, it can also surprisingly easily solve the problem of the starting stitch becoming loose or tight.
In particular, 'useful starting stitches' are introduced for specific knitting patterns, such as single-stitch knitting or lace knitting, and for specific shapes, such as circular knitting patterns or knitting socks starting from the toe, so it will be helpful to know them in many ways.


Bind off, all's well that ends well!
The nasal plug and connection that determine elasticity and decorativeness

The 'bind off (BO)' technique, which prevents the remaining stitches at the end of the knit from coming undone, also makes a big difference in the finished look depending on the technique chosen, just like the starting stitch.
The first thing to consider when choosing a nasal obstruction technique is whether you want it to be noticeable or inconspicuous.
Accordingly, you can finish it by keeping the pattern of the knitted base, or you can create a point by using a method that combines knitting with border knitting.
Of course, for practicality, you need to consider flexibility and sturdiness, and it is also good to choose a start-and-end technique to match the beginning and end.
Depending on the tool used, nasal blocking is divided into 'nasal blocking using a needle or crochet hook' and 'nasal blocking using a cotton needle', and the characteristics of nasal blocking by the three tools are presented in a table at the beginning of Part 2.
Some nose plugs are suited to specific uses, so if you want to add fringe to the edges of your nose plug or create a sturdy buttonhole, you'll need to choose the right technique.


In the process of finishing a piece, 'connection' is as important as blocking the nose.
Generally, it is important that the seams are smooth and do not affect the outer surface, but sometimes the seams are intentionally exposed to add a design point or to make clothes made of very fine yarn more comfortable to wear.
It includes detailed introductions to three types of stockinette stitches, including the Kitchener stitch on stockinette stitch, commonly known as the 'mattress stitch', as well as the three-needle bind-off, a method of 'binding with a single needle', and the Japanese three-needle bind-off, also known as the 'overlock stitch'.
