If you're knitting a jersey, you can complement the look with elongated loops to create neat folds. The folds will make your knitwear look complete, and even a beginner who recently picked up knitting needles and yarn can knit them. To create elongated loops, use yarns - the more there are, the longer the fold loop will be.
Instructions
Step 1
Without knitting, remove the outermost loop, and then yarn over. Knit the next loop in the usual way, then once again make a yarn over the knitting needle and knit another loop. Continue to alternate yarns with stitches to create longer stitches. Knit like this to the end of the row.
Step 2
If you want an even longer stitch, make several yarn overs each time - then the stitches will be much longer. Proceed to the next row and knit the stitches, discarding the yarn overs made before. Pull back the fabric by knitting a row to lengthen the stitches in the row again.
Step 3
After creating a couple of rows with elongated loops, begin to form folds. Knit a few extra rows - four to six rows will be enough, but the more rows you knit, the thicker and more voluminous the fold will be.
Step 4
Insert an additional knitting needle between the walls of the elongated loops and knit all loops together from both knitting needles - knit two loops from the first and second knitting needles, thus uniting the upper and lower rows. After these actions, a more or less voluminous knitted fold is formed on your knitted fabric.
Step 5
If necessary, continue to knit rows with extra long stitches and crochets, and then knit together with an additional knitting needle to create the required number of new folds. Once you have formed a fold, you can continue to knit in the usual pattern using your usual knitting techniques.
