Faced with the need to design the edge of the product, the knitter may find several problems: the tie pulls together the edge or vice versa, looks like a “skirt”, there is no way to carefully sew the finished border to the edge, it’s impossible to beautifully tie the decor to knitted fabrics.
It should be noted that such a task requires patience and compliance with several rules. This article contains a definition of what the crochet of the edge of the product is, schemes with a description and general laws.
How to process the edge of a knitwear
Of course, we are talking about the design of paintings connected by hand. The harness is required so that the necks, open armholes, cuffs and bottom of clothing items look decent.
The first row in such cases should always include only single crochet (STB). In this case, the following proportions should be considered:
- The height of one row of the canvas, consisting of stbn equal to one stbn strapping.
- The height of the row, which is connected by columns with a yarn (ST), is equal to two stbn strapping.
However, when processing canvases consisting only of ST, you should be careful that the binding does not turn out to be too wide and stretched. Sometimes it helps to alternate two stbn and one stbn (instead of knitting two stbn in each loop).
Woven fabric binding
Many craftswomen are attracted by such a crochet of the hem, schemes with a description of a simple lace border are proposed below. It is suitable for processing towels, napkins, tablecloths, pillows and other items:
- First, markup should be done on the edge that will be tied.
- Then, a fabric is pierced with a hook (at the place of the first mark) and knitted with stn.
- Three VPs.
- Three stn under the arch formed by the first stn.
- STN in the second mark on the canvas.
- Repeat steps 3-5 until the end of the product is finished.
How to work with the circuit
To make the corners, you need an unusual crochet of the edge. The diagrams with a description of smooth ornaments below are only suitable for straight sections.
To process the neck-toe or the lower edge of the shelf, you need an angular diagram. With some experience, the craftswoman can independently make a suitable pattern from the material that is at hand.
This may require crochet the edge of the shawl. Descriptive schemes rarely include corner paintings, but can be wiped out of position as follows:
- Calculate the binding so that the angle between the rapports or the center of the rapport falls on the corner.
- Starting from the first row of strapping, triple the column on the corner. That is, from one STB, you need to knit three.
- As the decorative trim is increased in height, give the angular rapport a resemblance to other elements. The main thing is that they be equal in size.
There is another way of crocheting an edge. Schemes describing only wide patterns can be performed in this way: strapping strips are cut at an angle of 45 degrees and stitched. This method is suitable only for the design of right angles.
How to fix the harness
The optimal binding to the product is the crocheting of the edge. Schemes with a description of almost any pattern are suitable for such work. Here, a convenient factor is the fact that it is not necessary to calculate the length of the first row, therefore, the probability of error is lower.
Also, they often resort to sewing separately bound edges. This method requires more time, however, the problem with a tightened or too loose web disappears. You can sew on manually or on a sewing machine, the main thing is that the product looks neat.
