Recently, designer handmade scarves are in vogue. The more difficult the knitting, the more requirements are placed on how to properly close the loops in the product.
It is necessary
- - spokes of close numbers;
- - jersey needle;
- - a hook that matches the needles;
- - yarn.
Instructions
Step 1
Insert the right knitting needle into two loops at once, including the hem. Knit them together with the front or the back, depending on the pattern. Transfer the resulting loop from the right knitting needle to the left knitting needle and repeat the process.
Step 2
Save the pattern when closing the knit. Use to close the front - the back wall of the loop, and knit the back for the front. You will get an even scar along the very edge of the canvas. When the entire row is closed, cut the thread, pass it through the last loop and tighten the knot.
Step 3
Untie the last knot and loosen the closed row if the edge of the scarf is too tight. This happens often, because the loop is wider in width than in height. And when we put them in the last row, they pull it down.
Step 4
Repeat the process on the larger needles. Knit not at the tip, but at the thick center of the tool. Or, lift each loop before passing the thread through it.
Step 5
Use a crochet hook to close the last row to help loosen the knit.
Step 6
Use a needle when you need an elastic edge. For example, when a scarf made of elastic should fit snugly around the throat like a turtleneck collar.
Step 7
Cut the thread from the skein that was used to knit, in length three times the size of the seam. Insert it into a jersey needle.
Step 8
Insert the needle into the hem loop as you would a knit loop and leave it there. Repeat this step skipping the purl and pull the thread through both knit stitches. Go back to the missed one, thread the needle through it, and through the adjacent purl. That is, through the second and fourth loops.
Step 9
Close the entire row with the seam described above, it is called "kettelny". If you are already comfortable with it, remove the loops from the knitting needle. The front and back will deviate in different directions, and it will be more convenient for you to collect them.
Step 10
Use the crochet method if the scarf is crocheted and the edge needs elastic and loose. Knit an edge loop with the front one, throw a thread over the knitting needle. With the second tool, lift the loop, pull the yarn through it and remove it from the knitting needle.
Step 11
Repeat this until all loops are closed. Close the last of all in the usual way - with a knot. With this method, you can get a different width of the edge, making yarn overs not after each loop, but after one or two.
