All knitted items that are made according to the pattern are knitted sequentially from separate parts. After all the parts are connected, they must be connected together, and the loops must also be closed in order to give the edges of the product a neat and tidy look, and so that the product looks beautiful and speaks of the professionalism of the knitter. It is convenient to connect knitted items and close the loops with a knitted seam, which is elastic and invisible on ready-made clothes. There are several types of knitted seams that are made on the front side of the product.
Instructions
Step 1
Use a horizontal knit stitch to join together hosiery stitches. Knit a few more rows on the parts to be sewn and iron the edge through a damp cloth. Unfasten the rows of additional threads and place the open loops of the parts opposite each other.
Step 2
Sew the loops from right to left on the right side using thread of the same color as the yarn of the parts themselves. Insert the needle from the wrong side to the knit side from bottom to top into the first loop of the bottom row. Then pass the needle from top to bottom from the front to the wrong side of the first stitch of the top row.
Step 3
In a similar way, continue to knit both pieces together through the loops of the top and bottom rows. Make knit stitches the same as knit stitches so that the seam is invisible.
Step 4
If you need to seam parts with a side and cross stitch, sew them from right to left along the front side using the horizontal seam described above. Insert the needle into the open loops of one fabric, grab the arcs of the loops next to the edge loops of the other fabric, and knit the parts together until the end. In this way, it is convenient to sew the sleeves into the armhole.
Step 5
A vertical knit stitch is used to join parts along the edges of the fabric. Perform it from top to bottom along the front side of the product. Insert the needle towards you under the two upper broaches, passing it between the hem and the adjacent loop of the left part. Insert the needle under the two upper broaches between the hem and the adjacent buttonhole of the right piece. Continue joining the pieces until you reach the end. Do not pull the thread too tight or the seam will lose its elasticity.
Step 6
For attaching small details - inlays, piping, pockets - to the main details of the product, use a stitching stitch that resembles a “back needle” stitch. Knit several rows of additional thread at the edge of the small piece, iron the edge through the damp fabric, then loosen the additional threads and baste the pieces to the right side, inserting the needle from the inside out from bottom to top into the first loop of the open row.
Step 7
Secure the thread behind the side edge with stitches. Then insert the needle from bottom to top into the second stitch of the open row, then into the first stitch from top to bottom, and then into the third stitch.
