Das Zunehmen und Abnehmen von Maschen verleiht Strickstücken Form und Struktur, wobei es viele verschiedene Methoden gibt. Oft bleiben Stricker:innen jahrelang bei der Technik, die sie anfangs gelernt haben, ohne die Vielfalt der Möglichkeiten zu erkunden.

Es werden Lösungen für spezielle Strickprobleme angeboten, wie das Zunehmen mehrerer Maschen, das Abnehmen in Runden oder das Zunehmen ohne Löcher. Zudem werden Techniken vorgestellt, um betonte Abnahmen zu stricken oder diese unsichtbar zu gestalten.
