Edge loop - knitting

Starting knitting, beginner needlewomen sometimes face a problem - how to finish the row, so that the edge of the canvas looked smooth. For this purpose the edge loop is used, the article is devoted to knitting rules.

Edging of the edge loop

Edge is called a loop that opens and closes the row. This is necessary for the knitted fabric to look neat, its edges are not deformed and could easily connect to other parts of the product. The edge of the canvas is called the vertical edge of knitting. Depending on how it is framed, the result is different. For example, if the extreme loops at the beginning and at the end of the row are tied, then a canvas with an elongated edge is obtained. If the edge is removed at the beginning of the row, and the last one is tied, then the knitted fabric will not drag out. The edge loop is either front or back. The difference is that when tying the front - the working thread is located at work, and purl - before work. When the loop is removed without tying, at the beginning of the row, and the purl is tied, the work thread must always be taken into account. She must be behind the knitting needle.

Types of Edge Hinges

They can be diverse, their design largely depends on the basic design of the product. From whether you want to hide the edge loops with a connecting seam, or you will weave them into a bake or a bar, the choice of one or another of their kinds will depend.

For the seam, the following variant of the edge loops is suitable: "knotted". The first row is tied with facial loops. The second row - edge is removed, the rest is sewn with the back, the last loop of the row is the front one. Thus, the nodal edge is obtained when in the back rows the side loops are tied with the side loops. It turns out that on two rows - only one edge loop. The "knot" edge is suitable for a seam which is called "over the edge".

To lift the loops in each row, the first loop, without tying, is removed. Next knit for rapport. It turns out that the removed loop will be stretched in 2 rows. Therefore, a "chain" is obtained from the loops, which is very clearly visible during their lifting.

Perfectly fit edge hinges for processing open edges: vertical holes for buttons, vests, jackets of jackets. For example, the bar is knitted with a single rubber band, in which loops for buttons are provided. The edge loop is formed as follows. In the first row of the front side, remove the first loop, then alternate 1 front and 1 purl to the end. The second row should be knitted with an elastic band, the last one should be tied with a face band. Rotate these two rows until the required height is reached.

Sometimes for the laths use a pattern called "Confusion", yet it is called a reverse rubber band. The number of typed loops should be even. The first row to knit in sequence: one purl, one obverse. Continue to the end of the row. The second row begins with two purl loops, then knit alternately face and purl, so tie it to the end. This edge is used in the performance of certain parts of the product that require a double-edged binding. Note that if there are no explanations in the description for the product, then the facial loops along the pattern should be removed as front, the purl is removed as the back. At the beginning of each row, the edge loop is removed with knitting needles as usual, the next behind it is fastened with the front behind the front wall. The penultimate in the next row is removed unrolled, and the working thread must always be in front of the loop.

For practice, you can make a series of a small number of loops, tie them with facial. The right edge of your knitting is best noted with the help of a colored thread. Now, on the right side, knit with the eye loops, using the double edge. A regular edge loop is knit in the left side.
