Ruches, flounces and frills can be an adornment of not only sewn, but also knitted clothes. Ruffles on children's clothes are especially appropriate, although they are also used quite often for finishing women's dresses, skirts, hats and blouses. Knit them both crochet and knitting needles. The color of the finish depends on the idea; ruffles can be made from the yarn of the main product or from contrasting ones.
It is necessary
- - yarn of medium thickness;
- - knitting needles for the thickness of the yarn;
- -product to be decorated.
Instructions
Step 1
Ruches are knitted in several ways. The part can be tied separately and sewn or tied to the product. They can be a continuation of the product itself. The first method is good, for example, for knitting oblique or transverse ruffles of a skirt, for finishing a yoke, etc. The second method is better to knit the lower frill of the skirt, trim the sleeves and neckline. To knit a ruffle that will be sewn to the product, calculate the number of loops. It should exactly match the length of the edge to which you are going to sew the trim.
Step 2
Knit the first row with purl loops. In the second row, remove the hem, then knit 2 or 3 from 1 loop, depending on how fluffy you need it. 2 loops from one are knitted using a straight or reverse yarn. To knit a straight yarn over, throw a working thread over the right knitting needle, insert the knitting needle into the next loop, and pull the thread. To knit 3 loops out of one, first insert the right knitting needle into the loop, then yarn over, insert the knitting needle again into the same loop and pull the thread.
Step 3
Knit the second row with one purl. Knit a couple more rows with hosiery, then close the loops in the usual way. If you need a wider ruff, before closing, knit another 2-4 rows, respectively, with front or purl loops.
Step 4
For processing a sleeve or a neckline, a ruff is more suitable, which is not sewn on, but tied over. Tie the piece to the desired length. Finish the purl row on straight needles. Turn the work over and knit 2 or 3 from each loop, as in the first method. Knit the next rows with stocking knit to the desired ruffle width. Close the hinges.
Step 5
If you want to update already finished products with ruffles or flounces, dissolve the last row of the sleeve or neckline. Thread a knitting needle through all loops and knit a couple of rows in the usual way. Then add loops in the same way as for a separately knitted ruffle.
Step 6
It may also happen that the edge of the product cannot be dissolved. For example, if it was knitted on top, and you are going to process the neckline. It is possible that the sleeve was knitted from the bottom, and the hem, too, did not gently dissolve. In such cases, it is better to trim the edge carefully. Pull out the thread that will separate, and then thread the knitting needle through the loops. Then the ruff is knitted in the same way as in all other cases.
Step 7
If the hem is thin and elastic, the ruff can be tied on. Fasten the thread at the beginning of the hem (usually at the seam), thread the right needle under the first stitch, and pull out the working thread. Dial the rest of the loops in the same way. Cast on the loops on the front side. It may be necessary to pull out 2 or even 3 loops from each edge loop. This should not confuse you, it all depends on the thickness of the threads and the place that you are going to tie. Make sure the hem is not too tight.
Step 8
Having typed the loops to the end of the row, knit a row with purl, then increase the number of loops by knitting a yarn in each loop or knitting 3 from one. Continue and finish the quilling in the same way as described in all other cases.
