Threading the thread
Now pass the thread through the hole in the
Thread the thread guide. Whoever has problems here
If you have a needle, you can use it to help you. Pass the thread through the large hole in the middle so that it hangs out of the bottom of the addiEi.
Now knot a loop at the bottom and tie the
Hook in weight.
Now pull out the thread at the top so that a loop is formed between the hole in the middle and the thread guide. Make sure that the weight does not fall out of the loop at the bottom.

Now pull the thread from the inside through the thread guide with a darning needle and thus take it out of the thread guide.
Place the end thread to the back so that it can no longer be gripped by any hook. Now turn the crank until all the stitches are
