Introduction: Hello, and welcome to our first session for needing tutorials. And I'm going to introduce you with the tools. We have some needles and some crochet hooks that we can have different types of meetings with them. All of these equipments and tools have their own sizes which are used for different meetings, for different yarns, which we should choose compatible to our needles. These are two needles for needing. These are crochet hooks and they are used for crochet. This is five male for needing socks or gloves that we don't want any semen them. And this is a rounded sir coloring needle which is for our meetings without any scene. And it has a cable around it that has different sizes from 40 centimeters on to 3. 1. How to cast on a sarafan dress and knit a collar: Hello everyone and welcome. Today we are going to teach you how to create a new kind of knitting stitch. We're going to create an overall together and we're going to start it with the neck. So for starters, we need the measurements for around the neck, or basically we need the measurements for your color. And that measurement depends totally on you. You can have an open call or you can have a tight one, or you can even bring it up onto your shoulders. So that totally depends on your own personal taste. Now, after measuring around the neck, you have to create a sample meeting with your needle, circular needle and your yarn. After that, you can measure it with your meter and then you can get an exact number of stitches. Today we want to see that for doing in eating how many stitches we should cast them for the beginning of our work. First, you should create your meetings in a various smaller model for yourself. For example, I've created 15 stitches with this yarn and specific and precise needle. And you should just do it yourself, because if you want to do the rest of it yourself, the sizes that you measure would be the same. So I've casted on 15 stitches and I've needed for three centimeters. Now for measuring that. You see, I do not, uh, stretch it or I would not tighten it. I just place it normally on my knitting. You see, it's very normal that I place my meter over here from the first stitch and then I just measure it about two or three centimeters. For example, here you see three centimeters or six stitches for me. Therefore, I should just make a note out of it and write it down. I would say six stitches are three centimeters. Now, how many stitches I need in order to have, for example, a scarf with the width of 20 centimeters. For instance. If you make a proportion, we say six should be multiplied by 20. And then I divide them. And three, I do the equation and I would have the number of my stitches. Okay. I did it. And now I see that I would have 40 is stitches for my work. So for example, for creating a very simple scarf, I should cast on stitches with this yarn and with this needle in order to get my 20 centimeters width. But remember, what ever kind of neat thing that you want to do first, you should do a smaller model of it, and then you should move on to the work that you want. Here. We have done a stuck in it. But if you want to do seed stitch knitting or garter stitch knitting or ribose each new thing or any other kinds of neat thing. First, you should need a small sample of that kind of stitch knitting. And then you should count how many stitches do you need to cast on? Okay, For the color of my Serfin, I have made a sample of five centimeters of garter stitch knitting. I've got the number of stitches that I need to cast on. Now, I'm going to start casting on this stitches. So that's what I'm doing here. And then after that we can start knitting. Right now I'm just casting on my stitches. After casting on the stitches, I'd be is starting to meet my work and I will meet all of them. I want to do garter stitch knitting as the width of almost one centimeter. And I'm just eating all of my stitches. On both ways. I mean, for going in for returns for the front of your work and for the back. Okay. I've waited until the end of my row, then I will turn my work. And then again, I will meet all of my stitches. I want to have garter stitch knitting as the width of almost one centimeter. I'll continued until I get the width one centimeter. Alright? So as you can see, I've continued that until I get this one centimeter. Because I want to do the rest of that with a simple orbiter, say stuck in it, stitches. I just wanted to have one centimeter. If you wanted, you can actually increase or decrease this area. Now in nexus that because I don't want my tip and the edges of my knee to be curled or turned are twisted. I'm basically going to use garter stitch meetings on the edges, about four or five on each end. And then I'll continue to do this stuck in it for the rest of my work. If it's the back of my work, I will parallel of them until I get to the last five is stitches. So again, I say, I pearl this row. I put all of this row except the beginning five and the last five stitches, which are going to be garter stitch is completely they would be all being negated. So if it's the back of your work, you'll be pulling all of them. And when it's the front of your work, you will meet all of your stitches. As you can see, I'm done with the back of my work until these last five is stitches. And as I told you, we're supposed to do garter stitch and eating for these ending five. Then I turn my work around. Now you see, that will be the back of my work that I would Perl all of my stitches except a beginning and the ending five. And now that I've turned my work, this is the front of my work and I'll be meeting all the way until the end. So if I'm eating all the stitches into middle of my work, it means that it is the front of my work. I'll continue this knitting as I'm doing right now. Now. Again, the width of your Kohler is on your taste totally. You can have a wide cooler or you can have a narrow one that depends on you. You should nice and Pearl until you get the width that you want for your color area. When it's done, you can finish your work there. So I'll do that and I'll come back. 4. 2. How to divide the back and front of dress: Okay. As you can see, I've got the width that I wanted. Again, I tell you you can do it as much as you want for decommissioning of my work. You'll see I've got a five Garter stitches in the beginning and at the end of my work, that would be actually the closing space of our color. Now after that, again, we want to have garter stitch Ni Ting for about another centimeter. So it doesn't matter either it's in front of your work or the back of your work. I'd been eating all of my stitches know per link. So I'll continue this until I'll finish this garter stitch knitting up to one centimeter. Okay. As you can see, I've continued it until it got one centimeter. Be careful. This is actually in front of my work. This is the front of my color, and that will be the end of the color. Now, you see when the cola would be placed like this, if you consider donating below it, you see this should be the front of the work. So back of my Nicola hours ending would be the front of the rest of my work. Now we want to see how we can divide these areas in order to have slaves and other stuff. If you consider the round of the neck like this, you can also create it on the paper, just like I did. You say this would be these two would be our sleeves. And as you can see, I've created four lines in order to divide them. Now. I have two stitches for the regular line or the dividing line. For these division lines. I've placed two stitches with truth BH overall. My stitches are 64. You should do this division with your own stitches. So the number of my stitches are 64 and then I minus it from eight of my division lines, that would be 56. Now, I put it aside. Now, you see, I told you all around the neck we would have for division lines, but because I want my stitches to be spreaded out equally, I've also divided the front and the back of my dress into two parts. So we have six parts overall. Therefore, I would actually divide all of the number of my stitches by six, and then that would be nine stitches on each part. On each part, I should have nine stitches. So what about these two? I should actually spreading into other parts, which it's better. Our preference is to spread them one in the bag and one in the front. But the stitches on the front part of the dress should be even. Therefore, we can have equal is stitches on the left and the right side. But now the number of stitches on the front part of my dress would be 19, which is odd. Therefore, if I want to add one stitch to each side, front and back, it doesn't actually make sense for me. So I would place both of them in the bag. So I would have 20 at the bag. And a teen in front. 5. 3. Dividing the back and front of the dress with a marker: Okay, Now we're going to do our divisions. And then with the use of a marker, I'm going to determine each part of my stitches. As we've calculated for the stitches. You can see we need nine stitches in the beginning of our work. So I'll count. And then I get to nine. I separate this area and I place a marker over here. After nine stitches, I have two stitches for the regular line or the dividing line which I separate and I put a marker on it after my regulon lines. Then I get to this leaf part which I have nine stitches there. Again, I have to rake lawn lines. After these two lines, I'll place a marker and I'll do the same until the end of my knitting. And just, I would remember that in the back of my clothes I would have a two extra stitches aside from the nine. Okay. I've placed all of my markers and as you can see, all all of my divisions are done. So I've determined that this area would be the front part of my work. And as I said, this garter stitch knitting would be continued until we will actually close this front. Seem off the color. Because this is the front part of my work. I will need all of my stitches until I get to the marker and then I can add some more stitches. I would actually apply these markers in order to determine my two regulon lines always, so I would not move it. Then I got to my marker. I will add a stitch just like that. Or in other words, I will increase another stitch. Then I'll transfer or move the marker to this other needle. And then I can meet this stitch which is related to the regular line. Then I get out my marker and I will add another stitch over here. Again. I will need until the next marker. This is the first row data. I'm actually adding the stitches. I am increasing a stitches here. Again, I will get to my marker and I will increase another stitch. Just like that. Then this stitch for the regular line. Then again increasing another stitch. And I am still meeting because this is a steel the front part of my work. So I'll just continue that until I get to the end of my row. Okay? This is the end of my row. I have negated my regular phone lines. I got my marker and then after debt, I increase another stitch and I'll continue eating. And as I told you before, I will make sure that the five stitches in the beginning and the end of my work will be always garter stitch and eating. So I turned my work over, but again, because this is the first five is stitches, I'd be doing garter stitch knitting. Then after dad, I should Pearl the risks of this, that just because this is the back of my work. You see here I get to the stitch that I've increased. I'm going to Perl this one as well. And when I'm in the back of my work, I would not increase any stitches. I would only Perlis stitches that I already have. So I will get my marker to the right side. And you see this is my added a stitch. This is my increased stitch and doesn't matter. I would prefer lit as well as the rest of the work. Again, I've go to the increased stitch. It's pretty obvious. And because it's the back of my work, I'm paralleling all of the switches here. Here we go. Alright. I'll continue this purlin until I get to the end of my row. And then I get to the last five stitches which I should do garter stitch and eating. Then I turn. 6. 4. Continue knitting the dress collar: Alright, now I'm in front of my work. First, I will get the first five stitches and then again, like the first row, I will increasing my stitches. So basically in the front part, in the going row, I will increase one stitch to each part and then into returning row, which is, which would be the back of my work. I would not increase any stitches. I should just pull it a little so it would stick to it's previous stitch. And therefore there wouldn't be any extra holes or any extra space in-between them. Again, after my two rag long lines, I will add an increase, another stitch and then I continue eating. Again. I say because it's in front of my work, I will need my stitches. You see, this part of my work has seen and I will continue this process and this procedure until it will get thick enough that it goes through the head. When you want to wear it. After that, you can start knitting in the round. Okay, So in the beginning and the end of arrows, we would be doing garter stitch meetings. And in the middle, if it's the front part of your work, you should need to stitches. And if it's the back, you would pearl this stitches. And I would also pay attention that in my going row in front of my work, I will increase a stitch to each part. So that's the whole thing. Then I would be meeting in the round. 7. 5. Start knitting the top part of the dress-. Where and how to increase stitches to reach the desire: Okay, I got to the measurements that I wanted. And now I want to close this seam in front of my work. This is the front of my work and this is the end of my work. I would turn my work anymore. This time. I want to start and eating in the round. When I go to this point, I will not turn my work back over again. I will start knitting this area. So this is actually the point. And after this, I do not have any garter stitch meetings. So basically in knitting in the round, all of my stitches would be neat it in the front rows. I would not have any returning rows. I should have European style is stitches. I should actually need them in European style. Because I don't have any returning row. I should pay attention that you see. For example, this is this fish which I've increased my previous row. So over here, I will need this stitch. I would not increase anymore stitches. So you see, if I get this stitch like this and neat it, that would be knitting this stitches in the European style. So previously I would have perl, the increased stitches, but because I do not have any returning row here, I would have to need all of my searches. I continue this until I get as much as I want for my shoulder of the sleeve. Alright, so what was the point of our whole work? The hint was that in our previous row, I actually had increased stitches, but this time because I don't have any returning row, I would still be meeting my increased the stitches. So I'll continue this until I get to neuro De Niro would be here. The connection of our siem would be the start of our new rule. Again here, it's time for me to increase the stitches. So I'll just continue the same process until I get the width that I want from my shoulders. I mean that when you wear these clothes, you would have the shoulder area until the part that you want. You see my two stitches are completely clear over here that they've gone up straight and then right next to them are, are increased. The stitches. See. These two stitches are straight down and they're clear actually. Then exactly next to them, I will increase another stitch the same way, the same process. So this would be my clothes, Kohler and this would be the width of our shoulder. So I'll continue until I get the width and the size for my shoulder area. 8. 6. Casting off the sleeve: Alright, now I got the width and a size that I wanted for my shoulder and my sleeve area. Alright. Now this was the last row that I've increased the stitches out. I've knitted them. Okay, now I want to cast off my sleeve with the difference that I should also increase this stitches as much as I wanted for around the breast and around the back. I do not care for sleep right now. I've cast it off the other slave you see over here. And now I'm on this site. Over here in this leaf area. I do not increase any stitches and I would start casting off. You see? I will cover my first stitch with my second one. I will need one stitch and then I will cover it with its previous stitch. And I'll continue this until the last stage of this leaf area. It would be definitely easier with a crochet hook. So you could also do it with that as well. Now I'm going to show you how you can cast off your stitches with a crochet. See I get the next stitch. I drag it from. Or better say I drag it through my previous stitch. And then I put these two regulon lines for the front of my work. I got to these two stitches which are related to my Reagan lines. This is the last stitch for my sleeve and I've casted it off as well. See, now I've finished my sleeves, the stitches. Then again, I would be starting meeting after my two stitches which are related to direct long lines, I will increase another stitch and then again, I would just start meeting. Now after that, I'm finished with this leaf. I will check this area to see if the measurements are okay for around the breast. And it says, okay, I would not need to increase anymore stitches. I've checked it and it is the size that I want, so I would not be adding any more stitches. Well, you can continue this stuck in it, stitches onto your waist area because after Dad we're going to start knitting skirt. So this would be actually your armpit. Then from five centimeters, more. If it is more than that, you can start knitting your skirt. That depends on you. So I will continue knitting until the length that I want to start. My skirt. I mean, some people would like to start a meeting does scared after two centimeters under the armpit area. But I want to make it more. These measurements that I'm telling you, five centimeters, ten centimeters are completely optional and dad totally depends on you and your own taste. For example, if you are eating for a child, it would be better if you start in eating too scared after two or three centimeters below the armpit, I continue this until I get the size that I want. 9. 7. Start knitting the sarafan skirt: Okay, I've got the length that I've wanted. And I got over here, you see here would be the beginning of my row that I want to start and eating my skirt. Pay attention over here in this row. One stitch after another, I be increasing in usage. Over here again, you see, as you can see, I am meeting one stitch, then I'll be increasing one stitch after that. Until I get to this area. Again. I'll continue the same way I need one stitch. Then I increase another one, increase another search right after that. So I'll continue this until I increase all of these stitches. And I get to the first part, my beginning point. I started increasing stitches. Alright, Here we go. So over here, I've increased one stitch after knitting one. And from now on I will have stuck in net stitching for one row until I get to the beginning of my work. If you think you will lose this first stitch or the beginning of your row, you can use a marker for that. I'm doing is stuck in it over here. Until I get back to this point. 10. 8. Learning how to rib stitch knit a skirt: Alright, here we go. I've done all of my stitches, I've needed them and I got over here now we want to create our skirt with RIP stitching nicotine. So first, we should count our stitches. And if it was not as a multiplier of ten, we should again start increasing the stitches until it would be as much as they would be spreaded all the way equally. For example, I be, I am actually five stitches short until my stitches would be a multiply of ten. So what should I do here? I should divide my stitches by five. For example, it will be 60. So for each 60, I would have to add one stitch. I would have to increase one stitch to my work. Then after dad, I'd be purlin two of my stitches and knitting eight of them in order to have my ribose stitches meeting. Just like that. You see I am eating eight stitches and then I'll be per link, two of them. Again, eight meetings to PR links. I'll continue this until I get to the beginning of my row over here. Okay. Now I go to the stitches that I've pearl before. You see the next purlins on the next row would be Perl like this. I'll continue the same way until I get to the length that I want from my skirt. Okay. So I've continued up to some part of my knitting and as you can see, I've shaped my skirt is actually a wide ribose such that it would have different parts looking like that. So we'll continue the same way. As I said before, there would be eight meeting all the stitches and two per link, citrus. And the length and width of your scared totally depends on you. Again, I emphasize that you can make it shorter or longer or even tighter, looser. That's totally your call. Just like this. Here we go. That's it. That then it will get a same. It will be actually a straight and it would be smooth and beautiful. 11. 9. Casting off the bottom of the skirt: Okay, My dear friends, I've got the length that I wanted for my skirt. Now it's time for casting off my stitches. I'm going to use a crochet hook to do it very easily. See I get the first stitch because the next one is in Eating. See, I wrap around my yarn around crochet hook, then I will need to next stitch and then I will cover does increase the suit with the next stitch and then cover it with the previous one again, the next usage, which is actually an eating. Therefore, I get the yarn around my crochet hook. I need the next stitch and then you see I cover and then I will make it two of them into one with its previous stitch. I'm basically covering them. Now. I get to stitch, which is a pearl. This time I get the yard like that in front of my crochet hook, on my crochet hook. And then I pearl, this is stitch. Until the end of my work, I just follow this process and continue this. The next stitch is an eating, so I would be casting it off like that. So continue until the end of the row and cast of all your stitches. Therefore, we would actually have a beautiful simple crocheting knitting. So that will make our work look more clean. 12. 10. Decorating the bottom of the skirt with crocheting: Alright, now I've cast it off all these stitches all around the bottom part of my scared and I got here. Be careful that you should just start casting off in the middle of your eighth stitches. Therefore, when you get over here, it would be precise and determined. After I've casted off the last stitch, I will actually make a bracket and then I'll make chain stitches. Well, I'll actually wrap the yarn around my crochet hook twice. And then from there I would just start knitting. So I will need ten of them in one place like that. I'll need ten. Okay. And as you can see, these are the four chain stitches of my work and they would be one double crochet. And then I will need nine more right next to them. I will not care for the rest of the citrus. And then I'll get to these ones too, these two citrus. And I will create two single crochets. Again, you see four, and this is the fifth one. Between my fourth, fifth stitches, I will create my second double crochet. Again. I'd been eating ten of them over here. Okay. Here we go. This is the last double crochet. I'll pass these crochets. Then again, I get to these two stitches which I've pearls. And then I create two single crochets. And just like that, I move all around my work and I will be doing crochet, meeting. Again between these two, I'll create my single crochets. I'll do it all around the work so you can see the results. Until I get to this area. 13. 11. Decoration around the armhole with crocheting: Alright. So again, these would be the last two single crochets of my work. You see these four chains stitches that were in the beginning of my work, I'll get a bracket in it. Third chain stitch, like this. Here we go. And that's it. Okay? Create a chain stitch over here, then I will cut my work. And here this would be the end of my skirt. So just as simple as that, it would be beautiful at the bottom of the skirt. Now I want to create a specific design around my sleeves. Now, see from below this leaves over here, I will get my yarn. I'll get my yarn through. Basically. I will make a knot. So it would be tight and yarn would not dress, get out of my crochet, make it through. I'll create three chains stitches. In the first chain is Cij, Xij, see, I'll get to line two yarns, sorry. Then I create a single crochet. Then see I leave to chain as stitches after the one that I've created. I've created the three chains stitches. Then I get my crochet hook through the third one, and I create another single crochet. Again, I create three changes such as you see, where I'm going to get these two yarns over here. It's exactly on to single crochet that I've made on the basis of my work. You see again, I skip two stitches. I skipped two chain is stitches, and then I'll make my crochet hook go through the third China's stitched and again, one single crochet and three chain is stitches. I get two yarns from my first single crochet, which is the basis of my work, and I get it out. So I skip two and I make chain of stitches on the third one. I just continue the work this way so I can give a design around my sleeves like this. Okay, this is the end of my work, as you can see. Then over here, just at the bottom part of arm hole. I'll just make another one. And then I will connect to end up my work to the beginning of my work, which I've created three chains stitches. I'll create a bracket over here with one chain stitch and I'll finish my work. You should definitely hide the extra yarns in your work. You can also, for example, create a string or a ribbon around your work. Or you can also use your own yarn to create something like that. 14. 12. Knitting string for around sarafan dress waist: Creating a ribbon or a string on your work, I am using two different colors of yarn so you can see how it's done, but you can use a yarn that you're using for the rest of your clothes. So one color would be actually on my crochet hook and the other color would just get through all of these. Just like that.
