Knitting and crocheting are back in fashion. But there are also techniques that are much older: knitting with the end of the thread leading, also known as hanging and interlacing techniques. The structures are extraordinarily diverse and beautiful to look at, as evidenced by the items of clothing, bags, baskets, headgear and hammocks from different world regions and epochs, which are shown in the historical section of this book. Little is known about knitting with a leading thread end. Monika Künti provides answers to questions about distribution and possible uses, the nature and classification in a system. In addition, the techniques are presented in detail in words and pictures, so that anyone who is interested can start with the practical work without prior knowledge and with only minimal tools. Baskets, bags, flower chains, bracelets, mobiles or room dividers in beautiful materials and colors are created. And the gallery at the end of the book completes the picture of the possibilities of the presented stitches.
