Crocheting with a hook is the most widespread and developed type of needlework, and so much so that simple tying the edges of the finished product has a huge number of options. Sometimes the bound rim gives the simplest thing an expensive and sophisticated appearance. Very interesting elements - scallops, which are crocheted, are performed in the course of knitting the product or at the end in a row. They border the edges of the finished product. Sleeves and shelves of sweaters decorated with festoons, hats or rugs - everything will look smoother and more accurate.
You can tie any product in this way, whether it be scarves, rugs, sweaters, dresses. All knitted items trimmed with scallops look elegant. What is it, you will learn from this article.
Feston: Description
Tender, cute, feminine and graceful - such associations usually arise when the models are decorated with festoons. To decorate various wardrobe items, they most often use a round shape. They can decorate almost everything - from mittens to complex cardigans and coats! These are such common festoons. "What it is?" - you ask.
In short, this is a border for processing the edges of the finished product with protruding wavy parts. The waves are large and small, simple and curly, round, sharp and so on. Here, fantasy can run wild!
Crochet scallops
On the extreme row of the product you will need to knit a chain of five air loops. Without connecting it to the edge, we introduce a hook under it, we catch the working thread and stretch the loop. Again we pick up the thread and knit the loop that we pulled.
One single crochet is ready. There are 2 loops on the hook. In the same way, add another 9 loops.
Now grab the thread and knit all 11 loops that you have on the hook. Next, you need to fix the festoon with a single crochet in the third loop of the edge row from the chain of air columns.
So we tie the whole row to the end.
Stacked row with scallops
Indeed, tying the edge in this way looks as interesting and accurate as possible. And you can not only finish the product this way, but also start it with scallops. Let's try to connect the typesetting edge with scallops. What is it - now we will understand. To form the edge, we need 2 knitting needles and a long hook.
Fold the knitting needle and hook together and in the simple way, dial the desired number of loops. It will depend on how wide the scallops you want to receive. Let's stop at nine.
Next, the thread needs to be thrown only on the hook and stretched through all the loops that you dialed earlier. Throw the resulting loop on the knitting needle. Again, fold the hook with the spoke and pick up another scallop. Continue this set of loops until you have the desired number of scallops.
In the next row of loops, knit with the pattern with which you plan to continue your product. Inside the festivals, you can dial additional loops (three is enough). As a result, you get an interesting edge, the only drawback of which is the lack of elasticity.
Wonderful festoons ... What is it - just a method of tying products or a way to give it additional elegance - you decide.
