Closing the needle loops: a description of the process

Every craftsman, carefully untangling his product, tries to make it look beautiful not only a hat, sweater, dress or socks. It is equally important that the edge of the product is neat and not too tight - so it will be more convenient to wear things. And regardless of what kind of thing a craftsman knits, she wants to be sure: everything should turn out, as well as possible. What needs to be done to close the needle loops was done correctly, we learn from this article.

Do it right

So, the process of creating a new thing comes to an end. The only thing that remains is its completion so that the edge of the product is elastic. It's beautiful and comfortable. This is the way it is called - closing the loops with a needle. Because it is with the help of this little assistant that you can finish the job very carefully. It is not so difficult to do this. But mastering the process will allow the edge to look as if the product were manufactured by the factory method. Using the needle, it is convenient to cover the edges of the necks. Especially it concerns huge and high collars on sweaters jumper.

An embroidery needle will do. It should be thick, with a blunt tip and a large eye. Close the hinges with a working thread, leaving its end in advance, the length of which should be approximately three lengths of the closed edge.

Closing the face loops with a needle (in fact, as well as the purlins) will not bring any troubles even to very skillful craftsmen. There is nothing particularly complicated here. The loops of the last row remain on the spoke. The working thread is better to be cut off, leaving a tip in three lengths (as mentioned earlier). Put it in the needle. The needle is inserted into the first loop from the "face", pass the thread through it and remove it from the knitting needle. Leave the second loop, without touching, from the wrong side. The needle is now inserted into the third loop from the wrong side and stretched a thread through it. Enter the needle into the second loop from the "face" and bring it to the fourth from the inside. Similarly, do until the end of the work.

We deal with elastic bands

Closing the needle loops is a fairly convenient option for completing the job. In this way, you can close only 1x1 and 2x2 gum. Then the edge of the product will lie in a natural way and be able to stretch freely.

Closing loops is performed on open loops. To ensure that they are fairly even and can not be dismissed, it is necessary to finish knitting this part in several rows, which are connected by an additional thread. Usually their number varies from three to ten. The spokes are removed from the hinges, the edge of the part must be ironed carefully using a damp cloth. Now dissolve the ranks that were previously tied up with an extra thread. In the needle with a large eyelet, insert the main thread that remained from the knitting, make a neat seam along all open eyelets, and arrange the product for convenience to face it.

One face, one - purl

How do I close the loops with a needle in an elastic 1x1? Our article will help to understand this.

On the front side, insert the needle into the first edge and second hinges. The detail must be bent to itself, and insert the needle from the wrong side into the first and third loops. Then from the "face" insert the needle into the second and fourth loops and from the inside - into the third and fifth.

Closing loops with a rubber needle 1x1 Will be simple, the main thing is not to confuse anything.

In such a simple way, inserting the needle directly into two loops in turn from the front and back sides, close the hinges all over the row.

Two facial, two - purl

What should I do to close the loops with a 2 x 2 rubber needle? About everything in order.

From the front side, insert the needle into the first edge and the second loop. Having bent the prepared part to itself, insert the needle from the wrong side into the first and third loops. Then, from the "face", you need to insert a needle into the second and fifth loops, and from the inside - into the third and fourth. On the front side - again in the fifth and sixth loops.

That's all. Closing of the loops with a rubber needle 2х2 is completed.

Elastic throat closed with a needle

How to properly handle the edge of the neck? If the neck is narrow in the model, then it is necessary to close the loops loosely, otherwise, when wearing it, the thing will look not very aesthetic due to the fact that the loops rumble. But there is one way to avoid this problem - closing the loops at the neck with a needle. It is also called the Italian way.

To begin with, you should tie two or four rows of 1x1 rubber band. If knitting goes in a circle, you need to do this. The first row: only the facial loops are knit, the purlins should be removed. Not tying, leaving the thread before work. In the next row, knit only purl, facial just remove neatly, the thread will be at work.

You need to measure the thread from the last loop (the length is about three lengths of the neck) and cut off the skein. To fill in a knitting needle (from usual differs a blunt end). Turn the needle into the first face loop on the spoke so that it opens on the front side.

Now we need to pull out the thread and start the needle in the next purl (the needle should come out to the master). Remove the back loop from the knitting needle and insert the tool into the next face loop. To stretch the needle with the yarn - it turns out a certain design of three loops on the thread. Strongly do not need to tighten.

Closing the loops with a needle Assumes very careful and attentive work, so you need to monitor each of your actions.

Correct repetition of actions - neat edge

Back to the purl loop: prick the needle from the back and bring it to the front. The loop will be on the thread, now you can remove it from the spoke. It turns out a kind of imitation of the facial loop.

The thread from the back loop is not stretched, and the needle is inserted into the next purl. Remove the buttonhole from the knitting needle. Stretch the thread and stab the needle in the front loop, which was removed from the front of the needle in advance and removed from the front that is still on the spoke.

Further, such actions should be performed alternately: from the current purl - through the removed front to the front loop on the spoke; From the current facial through the removed purl in the purl on the spoke.

Thus, a "snake" is obtained, smoothly flowing from the loop to the loop.

So you should loop around the loop. After reaching the last loop, withdraw the needle from the back loop.

To bring in the last facial loop, to bring out it is visible in the first facial, and already from it from the wrong side to the last purl. When the whole circle is tied, it is necessary to fix the remaining "tail" and the unnecessary thread to cut off. It turns out a very smooth edge, besides quite elastic - skips the head and snug against the neck.

These tips can be of help to those skilled workers who are not yet knit aces. But if you follow the proposed recommendations, they should not have any difficulties.
