Knitting - the main ways

Knits at the peak of popularity. Now they are worn not only by children whose grandmothers know how to knit, but also by many models or celebrities. Designers like to complement knitted or leather products with knitted items. Therefore, knitting the details is an important issue, which sooner or later comes up in front of every master. Without this, it is impossible to tie a dress or a sweater. And there are many ways of connecting. However, they are mostly used by several.

With the help of what you can knit?

Knitting is the creation of a product using threads, tapes or flaps, using knitting needles, hooks or other fixtures. Basically knitting is divided into two types:

• Crochet;
• Knitting.

Of course, there is also computer knitting or making products with the help of bobbins, but they are less popular, and not everyone knows about them. But the combination of knitted parts is necessary for any of the kinds of this variety of needlework.

The connection itself can be made using a thread of the same color and thickness as the one used in the product. However, sometimes using contrasting colors, if it harmoniously fits into the design of things. Also, for some hidden seams, threads of a size thinner than the main threads can be taken.

What you need to do before stitching the product?

Before proceeding directly to the joining of the parts of the product, it is necessary to subject them to a number of procedures. For example, all the details should be smoothed out, put on them a thin material of cotton, and on top of it already walk through the iron. This allows you to see the exact size of the part, and also gives the pattern a better look.

By the way, you should carefully read the information on the label of yarn. Some types of yarns can get hooked due to steaming, so in this case, iron should be ironed only with a cold iron. Otherwise, there is a risk of damage to the product.

Also, it is worth carefully measuring out the ready-made parts of the knit, hiding the seams or protruding threads, if any. It is best to carry out all of the above procedures on parts fastened on cardboard or fabric with pins. It also helps not to miss anything.

Variety of joints for joints

The connection of knitted parts can be carried out with the help of various improvised means. These include:

• Sewing needles - their size is determined by the thickness of the yarn;
• Crochet hooks;
• Knitting needles.

With the help of all these tools for needlework, it is possible to combine disparate parts into a single product. However, the implementation of seams in this case will be different.

Stitches are performed by different tools and, accordingly, have different names. For example, a popular combination of knitted details with the help of a hook is a tambour stitch. Many stitches are made using a needle, and with the help of spokes - shoulder.

Crochet crocheting

The tambour seam, as already mentioned, is one of the most popular among the skilled workers, who are accustomed to making products with the help of a hook.

To this end, the parts of the product that need to be attached are folded together, the face of one part to the same side of the other. After this, both parts are pierced with a hook, and a thread is output. Then the binding of the columns without the crochet begins. In this case, the thread should be tightened so that no lumens remain. But also it is worthwhile to watch and that the detail was not going to, but was free, did not change its original dimensions.

Shoulder stitch: use of spokes

One of the popular stitches, which allows you to make knitting of knitted items with knitting needles, is a shoulder joint. This seam is popular with craftsmen, because it provides an even edge of the product. Also it is distinguished by its strength.

In order to proceed with the jointing of parts using spokes, two additional rows must be tied. And you can use a thread made of cotton, a contrasting color. This will not affect the quality of the product. Then remove all the loops from the spokes, and the product itself is neatly ironed.

One of the additional rows is dismissed. In the second, they simply remove one loop, while securing the vacant seat with a knitted suture. Plus, such a performance of joining the details of the knitted article is that the main loops are not deformed.

Knitted seam - the main favorite of many

But most craftsmen still use sewing needles to connect the edges of the product. This type of seam can be divided into two groups - vertical and horizontal.

The knitting of knitted items with a knitted suture begins with the fact that the upper loops of the row are left uncovered. The needle is inserted into the first loop of the row from top to bottom. The output is made to the next loop of the same product, but already from the bottom up. The same operation is performed with the second half of the product. And finish the connection of the whole series. With this, the seam remains invisible. It seems to be hidden inside the product.

There is also an option in which a knitted suture is performed on a product with closed hinges. A thread of the same color and texture as the product itself is used. The whole procedure is carried out in the same way as when connecting parts with an open row. However, they take a stupid needle and insert it into the canvas itself, trying to get into the loop.

Also sometimes a knitted joint is called a knitted fabric. It is considered one of the simplest. It is often used for lateral connection. In this case, the needle is inserted into the edge loops of both products at once, and then by small stitches, a joint is made at the edges of the article. The tightening of the thread should be rather tight. If you make the connection seam on the front side, you can adjust the match of the color or pattern on both parts of the product. However, on the reverse side, this seam looks neater and less noticeable.
