Having knitted a beautiful thing of any model, beginner knitters often think about how to properly close the knitted fabric and fasten the last row of loops. Without closing the last row, knitting cannot be considered complete - therefore in this article we will look at several ways to close loops, suitable for both simple straight fabric and openwork knitting.
Instructions
Step 1
The easiest way to close the knitting is to insert the left knitting needle into the outer loop on the right knitting needle and pull it towards you without knitting, and then knit the first two loops with the front knit. Continue knitting until you have closed the entire row of stitches and there is only one last stitch left on the right needle. Cut the working thread and tie it around the loop, tighten and cut the tip.
Step 2
Another method involves closing the loops according to the type of knitting - the front loops are closed with the front ones, and the purl ones with the wrong ones. This ensures an even edge of the product.
Remove one stitch and insert the left knitting needle into the two stitches on the right needle. Knit these two stitches in knit and repeat until the row of stitches is closed.
Step 3
If you need an elastic and stretchable edge of the garment, the best solution is to close the hem of the garment with a needle. Cut the working thread so that there is a long enough section to close, and then thread the thread through a thick needle.
Step 4
Insert the needle into the first loop and remove the loop on it, then insert the needle into the third loop in the same way as for purl. Pull the thread through the loop. After that, place the needle in the second loop like a purl loop, and then insert the needle into the fourth loop in the same way as in the front loop, and pull the thread through it. This method allows you to make the edge of the canvas smooth and elastic.
Step 5
Alternatively, you can sew loops with a needle and woolen thread by inserting the needle through two loops from right to left and then from left to right, and removing the loop from the knitting needle while pulling the thread.
