If the bottom of the knitted model does not begin with an elastic band, but directly from the pattern, then it is best to make a typesetting row with a cross-shaped set. often in knitting magazines this set of loops is called the Bulgarian beginning. The edge will turn out to be neat and decorative.
It is necessary
- - yarn;
- - knitting needles.
Instructions
Step 1
Fold 2 working needles. Type one loop on them, as with a regular set. Pass the thread folded in half around your left thumb. Its length should be equal to twice the length of the typesetting edge. Hold it together with the initial loop. A single thread should come from the ball, then around the index finger towards the needle
Step 2
Then cast on the loops, bringing the knitting needle under the thread, first from the outside, then from the inside of the thumb. Repeat the set loops alternately to the end of the row. Then pull out one knitting needle. Turn the knit over and knit one row with purl loops. Then knit the piece with a basic pattern, this edge will be more durable and will not curl in the finished garment.
