Work the thread through the index finger of the left hand (right - for left-handed people). Hold the end of the thread with the rest of your fingers.

How to associate a column with a crochet

If you have already mastered the knitting of air loops and columns without a crochet, and also know how to connect chains of air loops into a ring, try to tie the column to the crochet:

Tie a chain of 6-7 air loops.
Join them in a ring in a column without a crochet.
Pass the hook under the working thread on the left-up - this will be the cape.
Now hook the head of the hook into the ring, grab the working thread from the right-down and drag it through the ring.
On the hook you should have 3 loops (stretched through the ring, the cap and the last of the column without the crochet).
Grab the working loop from the left-up and stretch it through the first two loops on the hook.
Again grasp the working thread and pull it through the loops on the hook.
So you tie a bar with one over.

To connect a column with two or more overlays,You need to repeat the third step as many times as you need the number of napkin. To loop loops located on the hook, you also need two, until you bind everything.
