In this DROPS video we show you how to make a loop to start a project. This loop can be used both for knitting and crocheting. This loop is also called a start loop or noose.

BEFORE THE VIDEO STARTS:
Pull out a strand of about 20 cm

THE VIDEO SHOWS:
1. Make a loop by laying the strand end over the strand.
2. Pull the strand from the ball through the loop.
3. This creates a new loop with a visible knot.
4. Put the knitting needle through the loop from the back, so the knot faces away from you, then gently tighten both strands.
5. Gently tighten the strand from the ball so the loop sits around the needle.

INFO TO THE VIDEO:
