Yarns
You can use all kinds of yarns, also yarns of different thickness.
Plain knitting
When changing direction, take care that the next needle correctly grips the yarn and that no knitting hangs on the
black needles (in particular in the case of thick wool). In order to avoid this hold the yarn carefully tight by pulling at
the lower end of the knitted piece and tightening the thread a little bit.
1. Dropped stitch
If you turn the handle too fast, stitches can be dropped. Put dropped stitches back by using the plastic needle.
2. The handle does not turn
a) The operating switch is set up to plain knitting. The stop shows the end of that row and you can continue by turning
the handle counterwise.
