short needle
The shortest stitch can produce a tighter structure. Usually the standing stitch at the beginning does not count as 1 stitch, and every time after that when counting knitting needles, the needle of the previous short stitch passes through two threads.
medium length needle
The medium-long needle is between the height of the short needle and the long needle. Start with 2 stitches as the height, and then start hooking from the next stitch (that is, the 3rd stitch). For medium-length needles, first hang a thread on the needle, then pull the two threads through the knitted fabric together, and continue knitting.
long needle
Long needles are the most commonly used needle method. There is one more standing stitch than the medium-long needle, that is, 3 stitches should be set as the height at the beginning, hang a thread on the needle, and then pass two threads through the 5th stitch and do 2 pull-outs.
