A low stand-up collar is a versatile piece that looks good on women's, men's and children's knits. It can be knitted in one piece - loops for working on a knitted fabric are typed along the edge of the cut line. At the same time, you need to make accurate calculations so that the finished stand does not stretch the main product and does not create ugly folds. Sometimes it is easier to tie the collar separately, and only then sew it to the finished neckline.
It is necessary
- - circular needles No. 3 and 2, 5 (or No. 2, 5 and 2);
- - darning needle;
- - yarn;
- - auxiliary thread;
- - iron with steam function (or wet gauze);
- - centimeter.
Instructions
Step 1
Try to knit a stand-up collar on round knitting needles - there will be no extra joining seam on the part. Calculate the desired blade length. It should be equal to the circumference of the cutout of the garment. Do not forget about the freedom to fit the collar - so that it fits on your head without problems, leave a margin of about 3 cm in length. Check the knitting density - so it will be easy for you to calculate how many initial loops you need for the stand.
Step 2
For a sample, tie a 10 cm strip. It is recommended to make a 2x2 elastic band - using alternating pairs of front and back loops. Another option is the so-called Polish gum. Due to its interesting relief and good elasticity, it looks good as the main pattern of a knitted stand.
Step 3
Dial the number of loops for the Polish elastic, which would be divisible by 4. The first two rows of the canvas will look like a regular 2x2 elastic, and in the third row you need to do the following: remove the edge loop with the right knitting needle and find the center of the first rapport (pattern element). It will be the front one, on the left side of which the purl is located. Subsequently, this loop (center of the rapport) will always be knitted only with the front one.
Step 4
Knit center loop of rapport and subsequent purl with knit stitches. The next pair of loops is performed with purl, then there are 2x2 alternations.
Step 5
On the fourth row, re-locate the center of the first rapport and follow the pattern for the third row. After some time, you will find that the center face loops of all the rapports began to stand out on the canvas.
Step 6
So, you got a knitting pattern for a stand-up collar and you can finally calculate the inlaid edge of the part. For example, the length of the neckline of the product is 42 cm. Add 3 cm of the allowance for freedom of fit. Along the horizontal line of the knitted elastic sample, you have 3 loops in 1 cm. (42 + 3) x3 = 135 loops you need to dial to complete the cut detail.
Step 7
Knit a stance in circular rows on medium-sized needles (# 3 or 2, 5) in the pattern of your choice. To gradually narrow the part, make small decreases: after 6 circular rows at equal knitting intervals, cut the fabric by 1 purl loop.
Step 8
When you knit 3 cm of fabric, put into work a knitting needle half the size smaller (for example, No. 3 changes to No. 2, 5, and No. 2, 5 to No. 2). Now perform the front stitching. As soon as you switch from elastic to hosiery, a fold line is formed on the collar fabric for a fold. This will keep the edge of the rack tidy and will not stretch.
Step 9
Tie the collar to the desired height. When knitting the last two or three rows, use the auxiliary thread. The finished part of the cut must be steamed (especially open loops with additional thread), dried and tucked in with a stocking fabric. You just have to remove the auxiliary thread and sew the open loops of the part to the neck of the garment.
