Many needlewomen are interested in the question: "How to connect two knitted details unnoticed?" And at the same time so that there is no skew or tightness and that the product looks simply amazing.
In fact, this is nothing complicated. And due to the fact that the stitching technique is quite a lot, you can choose a more convenient one. In this article, we describe several ways to connect knitted parts.
A few subtleties in stitching parts
Before you begin stitching parts, you first need to prepare everything you need. This is primarily a thread, which we will sew numerous and diverse details. And from the tools - a thick needle with a big eye, knitting needles or a hook (depending on which stitching method you have chosen). As for the thread, then most often they use the same one with which the parts themselves were knitted, or similar in color. The main thing is that the thread is durable.
Begin by aligning the edges of the parts. Then try on the product and mark the stitching points. For convenience, you can initially bast a thread of a different color. When stapling, do not take a thread that is too long - it can break quickly, and tighten it tightly.
So that the seam is even and straight, you need to run the thread into loops located at the same distance. If you sew cuffs or a collar with a lapel, then in this case the edges need to be done on the other side of the knitted parts.
"Mattress" seam
If you are most concerned about the question of how to connect knitted details unnoticed, then this vertical invisible seam is what you need.
To fulfill it, it is worth choosing a thin thread. You can even sewing. It is necessary to perform a mattress seam on the front side of the parts. To do this, connect the edges by gripping the edge loops on both sides.
To make the front surface, we introduce a needle with a thread first between the first and second loops of one part, and then also on the second part. Thus, we flash to the end. To perform the wrong side, again on the front side, we introduce the needle into the loops themselves. At the same time, we grab the upper part of the loop from one part and the lower part from the other. Again, we sew to the end.
Knit stitch
This invisible seam is used to connect parts that are connected in one direction. To begin with, we place them face up and the edges to each other. Next, we draw a needle with a thread under the next loop on the second side. We sew further by analogy. We got a horizontal knit stitch.
Another kind of knit stitch is the stitch loop in the loop. It is used when you need to connect the details of a hosiery type of knitting. For this, open loops of two parts of the product are sewn. The thread used is the same as that used for knitting.
We pass the needle and thread into the first loop from the wrong side of the upper part of the product, draw it into the first loop of the lower part and guide it through the second loop of the wrong side of the lower part. Next, thread the thread from the front of the upper part into the first loop and lead through the second upper part from the inside. Next, we pass the needle into the second loop of the lower part from the front side and lead to the third lower part from the inside. We continue to sew by analogy. Try to ensure that the seam loops are identical in size to the product loops.
Seam "Chain"
This seam is applicable for connecting the shoulders. When knitting, it is necessary to leave loose loops on the knitting needles on the front and back of the product. Next, we add the details inside out to each other. We take another knitting needle and begin to knit the first loop of the back of the front, and then the second loop from both knitting needles.
We begin to close the loops when two loops remain on the right needle. We do this by throwing the first loop on the second. We continue by analogy to the end. Thus, on the front side of the product we will see a pattern in the form of a chain. This type of stitching is suitable for those who want to learn how to combine knitted details beautifully.
If you do not want this chain to be visible, do the same thing, only fold the parts from the beginning to face each other.
Buttonhole stitch
This is another way for those who are looking for how to knit knitted parts with knitting needles. We will perform this seam from the wrong side of the product. To do this, take an extra spoke and thread it into the first front loop on the upper needle and into the first wrong loop on the lower needle. Then remove both loops. Next, pull the second loop through the first. Then we repeat everything from the beginning.
Turn the knitted product over and remove two loops. Pull the second through the first. Again, remove the two loops and pull the second through the first. At the end, we fix the last loop.
Back stitch seam
This seam is also made from the inside. We take both parts, fold them facing each other and fix the thread on the extreme loops. Then we pass the needle with the thread, retreating half a centimeter from the last stitch.
We introduce the needle at the place where the previous stitch ends, and again we draw out half a centimeter from the stitch. We pull the thread. We continue according to the same scheme.
Crochet stitch
Let's describe a few examples of how to crochet knitted items.
- How to crochet knitted parts? Secret seam. We do it on the edge. We fold the two parts of the product together facing each other and draw a hook through them, capturing and stretching the loop. Again we pass the hook and pull through both parts and the previously captured loop. We knit, repeating the last action to the end.
- Single crochet. We do it on the front side of the product. The hook is inserted through the walls of the closed row of both parts and, capturing the thread, we extend the loop. We pull the loop through the next two loops of the closed row and, grabbing the thread, we pull out a new loop through the two previous ones that are on the hook. Then we continue according to the same scheme, from the moment the first loop is pulled.
- To connect the open loops located on the knitting needles, we fold both parts facing each other and pass the hook through the first loops on the knitting needles and, as in the front ones, remove them. Then we put a thread on the hook and pull the loop through two loops on the hook. Now remove 2 stitches from the knitting needles. There are three loops left on the hook. We put the thread on the hook and pull the loop through the three loops located on the hook. Now 1 loop remains on the hook, and we repeat all the steps from the moment the hook removes two loops from the knitting needles.
Seam
How to connect knitted parts with knitting needles? To make the shovchik inconspicuous, you need to perform it from the inside out. But if you want a decorative lacing seam at the junction of parts, you can do it from the front side.
We fold the two parts of the product together facing each other, placing the edges on the same line. Then we introduce the needle with the thread at the back through the waist between the loops on the edges. We flash it to the end.
Connection of vertical and horizontal parts
Most often, this seam is used for sewing on sleeves. In the case when there are more rows than the loops when sewing on a sleeve, periodically grab two broaches between the edge loops of one part and one loop from the other.
When hosiery knitting, to connect the vertical and horizontal parts, it is necessary to draw a needle and thread under the loop of the vertical part in a closed row and put under the broach between the first and second loops on the horizontal part. And then, according to the same scheme, we flash to the end.
That's all, nothing complicated in how beautifully to knit knitted details. You just need to start, and knitting will drag you into the world of magic!
