When do you give the thread?
When you are crocheting a piece, you will sometimes come across a pattern that says to "pass the yarn."
They don't appear very often, so when you first see them you might be wondering what on earth they do.
When finishing crochet, you need to take care of the yarn at the beginning and end of the stitch.
Furthermore, if you cut or add thread along the way, the amount of thread you have to process will increase.
So, if possible, you want to avoid this... In such cases, the method of "passing the thread" is useful.
When designing, there are times when you want to knit the next stitch a little distance away from the current position where the yarn is coming out.
For example, if the knitting is skewed and the starting point of the edge, which was originally on the side of the bag, has moved to a place that is visible from the front, you may want to move the starting point of the edge back to the side of the bag.
In reality, there are many different situations in which you might need to pass the thread, but the method is very simple!
Here we will explain how to pass the thread with images.
How to pass the thread
The weft thread pointed to by the arrow is the thread that was passed through.
The passed yarn is then wrapped up in knitting fabric like this to hide it.
Important points when passing the thread
What do you think? It was easy, wasn't it?
If you want to be careful, I think it's important to leave enough slack in the thread so that it doesn't get too tight.
The passed yarn is often wrapped up and hidden like this, so you can continue knitting from a distance without having to cut or reattach the yarn, saving energy.
The "passing the thread" method is a handy little trick to know.
