Edge stitches are the first and last stitches of the row to be knitted. Often, in order to start knitting the next piece, you need to dial a new row of edge loops.
Instructions
Step 1
Before you start knitting a part from the edge of which you will need to knit a new row, decide which edge to make. This will determine exactly how you will knit from the edge, and here one of two ways of doing it will be suitable: a chain-shaped edge or a knot edge. In order to make a chain-like edge, remove the first loop of the row without knitting, and make the last loop of each row purl. To get a knotted edge, just throw each first loop from one knitting needle to another, and knit the last one with the front one.
Step 2
Count the number of edge loops and the number of loops you need to make for the new part. Calculate how many loops you have to add and how often you need to do it.
Step 3
If you used a knotted edge in your product, then just insert the knitting needle into the tubercles that turned out along the edge of the part and continue to knit. To add the missing stitches in the next row, make the required number of yarn overs with the required frequency.
Step 4
If you made a chain-like edge, then it will be a little more difficult for you. To knit a row, pierce the fabric under each of the hem loops and pull the thread from seamy side to right side. Moreover, if you knit one loop, then hook the edge loop under both slices. If you need to knit two loops from one edge, then hook each of them on one of the edge loops.
Step 5
If the part is already connected and it is not possible to redo the edge, use another method. Crochet a chain stitch along the edge of the part, and then pulling the loops one by one, put them on the knitting needle. The tambour stitch is a chain of air loops fixed to the canvas. In principle, such a seam can also be made using a thick needle with a wide eye.
