An elastic band can decorate any product. Moreover, it is not only a decorative, but also a practical element. For example, a sweater with her will be warmer than without her. It is quite easy to start knitting an elastic band, especially if you are familiar with its pattern.
It is necessary
set of hooks (no. 2; 2, 5; 3,), yarn for knitting
Instructions
Step 1
Cast on the loops correctly. The typesetting edge should be flat. Dialing options can now be found in many publications. By the way, they change. Choose the simplest and most understandable for you. Read the pattern of the elastic carefully.
Step 2
Link a sample. Wash it. Pay attention to the tightness of the knitting. Usually the pattern of the elastic is knitted quite tightly. If you knit too weakly, you can change the crochet to a smaller number and vice versa. When knitting models from magazines, you should seriously consider the choice of yarn, because patterns and calculation of loops are given taking into account the properties of materials and the density of patterns. Note for yourself how much the sample has stretched, and take this into account when the subsequent set of loops.
Step 3
Cast on the required number of loops and start knitting the pattern. Remember that the hook number must match the thickness of the yarn and the thread must be easy to grab onto the head of the hook. Crochet should be pretty tight. The advantage of this edge is its elasticity. There are several techniques for knitting such an edge for any elastic band.
Step 4
Crochet the inlaid edge from the connecting posts. To do this, cast on two air loops. Then insert the hook behind the left outer wall of the buttonhole and, picking up the working thread, pull the buttonhole. Then pick up the working thread again and knit the 2 loops that are on the hook together. Continue knitting to length, following the sequence.
Step 5
If the further pattern of the elastic is knitted on the needles, collect the loops on the front row and knit with the elastic pattern. In fancy knitting, you can choose from a variety of patent patterns, braids and elastic embossed patterns. Sometimes a double elastic is knitted. It is hollow inside, which makes it possible to insert a drawstring or elastic band.
